is the prediction made by members
Of the committee. The principal fea-
ture of the parade will be the pres

picturesque floats distinctive of the
work of the seven organizations
united in the campaign.
Goal Set in Drive.
During this great national drive the
sum of S170,500,0 Is expected to be
raisec. At least that is the goal. AS
matter of fact the various state and
local committees are entering upon
the big drive with a determination to
raise at least SO per cent more than
that specified amount. The oversub-
scription, it is pointed out, will be
necessary properly to carry on the re-
lief work of various organizations in
tereSted.

With a curtain of exploding steel

An unusual incident took place when
Sacile was occupied. Because the Eng

monde Fruccarola, a newspaper man,
led the English across the Livenza
river into the town. One of the last
acts of the retreating Austrians was
to shoot a woman who was attempting
to cross the river to reach the British
troops. The British punished the Aus

their liberation is extravagant It is
said that they picked up bulletins

The I'd British Army had counted at

guns.
To the center, the Franco

heights of Apremont, between the Lys
and the Scheldt, and have advanced UP
to the latter river at Demelden on a

in the two days of battle an advance
of from eight to sixteen kilometers.
Nineteen villages have been recon

uniform, carried gun and had en-
dured the same discipline and priva-
tons as the soldiers. Evidence re-
ceived indicated that this was mere
ly one of those instances in which
woman managed to get into the fir
ing line to seek adventure, and that
the German government is not be-
ginning to use women in the battle
zone.
When the order for the attack was
given the Americans moved forward
unhesitatingly along the whole line.
The fact that the greatest advance
was made in the center is due to the
plans drawn up beforehand rather
than to the strength of the German
resistance on either wing. The adj
vance was carried out in keeping
with the chedule.
In the center La Dhuy farm, about

wood by the Austrians. The unculti-
waited fields are rank with weeds.
AS the allied troops move ahead
they see that they have a great OPP
portunity to throw the enemy in dis
astrous retreat from Italian soil. 1t
is the common opinion of the entire
army, from generals to the lowest
soldier, that it was not done sooner
because of the feeling that the nu-
merically superior Austrian forces
might by a counter offensive endan-
ger the allied cause.
The movement east Of the Piave is
being carried out by the sth and 18th
Italian armies, with a number of
French and English regiments. The
Italian troops in the present fighting

whole front.
The fourth army is master Of the
Fonzaso valley. The Bologne brigade

The twelfth army. having gone

Piave to the south of Belluno. and
has attachments engaged in the Fa-
dallo valley. which our light columns
are brilliantly encircling by way of
Farra D'Alpago.
The right wing of the front of the
third army has been prolonged to-
ward the coast by marine regi-
ment, which has occupied all the in
trlcate coastal zone, which the enemy
in part flooded. A patrol of sailors
has reached Caorle.
The prisoners are continually in
creasing and we have captured more
than seven hundred guns. The booty
taken is immense. its value being es-
timated in the billions.
Omcial dispatches always refer to
the unit of value of the country from
which they emanate. In Italy the unit
is the Ira, which in normal times is
valued at about 10 cents.
