ASSASSINATION OF PREMIER NARRATED
 BY BERLIN PAPER

Amsterdam, November S.-The Berlin Vosische Zeitung contains a description of the assassination of Count stephen Tisza, former premier of Hungary, last week.
 At o'clock in the evening three sol- diers Invaded Count Tisza's residence and presented themselves in the draw ing room. Count Tisza, with his wife and the Countess Alniassy, advanced to meet the intruders, asking what they wanted.
 What have you in your hand?" a soldier demanded of 11sza.
 Tisza replied that he held revolver. The soldier told him to put it away, but Tisza replied: 'I shall not. because you have not laid aside your rifles"
 The soldiers then requested the wom- en to leave the room, but they declined to do so. A soldier then addressed Tisza as follows: You are responsible for the destruction of millions of peo pie. because you caused the war"
 Then raising their rifles, the soldiers shouted "The hour of reckoning has come"
 The soldiers fired three shots and Tisza fell. His last words were: q am dying. It had to be-"
 The soldiers quilted the house, ac- companied by gendarmes, who previous ly were employed to guard the door.

In Pell Nell Effort to Save Themselves the Enemy Is Losing Thousands of Men and Millions of

 Thousands of cannon are being cap. quantities of war material. At Vittorio Austrians not taking the trouble to burn also was left undestroyed. At Belluno large depot of food and material was found by the Italians. The allies fre- quently captured long trains of artillery, one train being taken at Razi, neat Feltre. it having been abandoned by the retreatng Austrians in their haste.
 It was on October 29 that the enemy received a mortal blow by a main at. tack across the River Piave. This per. mitted the Eighth army to move to Vittirio and gave the Fourth army a chance to operate.
 Then piece by piece, corps by corps and division by division the Austrian armies have fallen. When the Italian Fourth army reached Monte Cismon al the junction of the Brenta, it gave the Twelfth army the opportunity to operate at F'etre. in the upper Piave valley. ana also permitted the Sixth army to go into action in the Asiago district.
 Between the Fourth and Sixth armies the chief Austrian resistance in Italy was broken. It was in the mountains that the greatest number of cannon was taken.

BAKER SPEAKS FOR
 WAR WORK DRIVE
Secretary Appeals to Nation to Provide Funds for the
 Army's Safe Return

New York. November s+-Addressing a vast audience of leading Rrotestants, Catholics and Jews. assembled in Madi- son Square Garden to prepare for the opening on November Il of the united war work campaign for $17or 900, Secretary of War Baker today appealed to the nation to provide funds to in- sure the return of Americas army with "a high and trained capacity for citi- zenship'
 q do not know when the war against the German empire will come to an end" Secretary Baker declared, "but know this: That the war for the salva- tion of young American manhood has just begun and it is going to keep up
 Tt is true that, if the war should come to an early end, it will take long time to get these boys home, and they will have to be put in camps in the United States and gradually filtered back into the industry and life of Amer ica. It will be long drawn out proc ess and the attacks of homesickness and the desire to get back into the ca reers of civilian pursuits will be more difficult for them to manage than when they are drawn by the single lodestar which challenges them to heroic ac- ton"
 Mir. Baker, who recently returned from the American front, painted vivid picture of the men of the army whom, he declared, were fighting like heroes. and, thanks to the welfare agencies, were living like gentlemen
 Civilians, he said, should find it easy to forget distinctions of creed in com mon work for the welfare of the sol diers, as the soldiers themselves re- member no such differences.
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr. chairman Of the executive committee of the cam paign, opened the meeting by introduc- ing Charles F. Hughes, who presided. MT. Hughes characterized the meeting as "the most significant of the war, declaring it marked the beginning of a new era of brotherhood and fellowship, based ON a deeper sense of religiou, toferation

 The allied forces are ever pressing on towards the frontier in the mountains. They already have reached the Val Sugana, where the Italians were hold ing their line year ago.

WAR EXPENDITURES
 BELOW ESTIMATE
War Cost to Date Runs a Little Over Twenty Bill
 lion Dollars

Washington November S.-War ex- penditures gre not as great as the treas ury estimated five months ago, when it set the mark this fiscal year at about $24,0Oo,0o0o00. Expenses for October, re- ported today, amounted to s1,e64, ,sG2, ,000, including $4S9, 100000 in loans to the allies. The total was little more than expendi- lures last July, and about S25O, coo, 900 less than the estimates for October
 Owing to unusual receipts of SS,5Ss, : 100000 in October from popular borrow ings, the working balance in the treas ury's general fund now stands at s1,s45, 739,OoO, a new high record. From Fourth Liberty loan payments alone, 2,295, COG, 900 poured into the governments coffers last month.
 The total war cost to date is now call culated at s2O,561 100000, of which $7o17,- 0oo,0o0 has been loaned to the allies. Only a little more than one-fourth of the ex- pense has been raised from taxation and slightly less than three-fourths from Lib- erty Loans and war Savings.

 The outskirts of the place were in ruins from the bombardment. The "City oi Laces,'' which it was expected might be found virtually intact, was a sad plight until the center of the municipality was reached. Here practically no damage was done. The grand place, with the beautiful Hotel De Vile was intact, ex- cept for trifling marks from the stray shells.
 Little groups of civilians collected throughout the city, some viewing the damage helplessly, others trying to re- establish their homes. Little children were to be seen playing in the ruined streets, with the dead Germans un- deliverance was too great to take in the tragedy about them.
 Here and there people were actually renewing their housekeeping in build ings which were partly torn away by shells One family near the canal were resuming home life in house in front of which was largely torn out, leaving the occupants exposed to the street ex- ccpt for some curtains which they hung up.
 These places were in the outskirts where most of the smelling had been. Alp parently the Germans had not tried to reach the heart of the city with their guns.
 The mayors office was in an attic behind the grand palace and here two deputies, Messieurs Damien and Billet were acting in place of Mayor Tauchen, who was carried off to Germany by the invaders. These two men, with the as sistance of French and British officers, are trying to carry on the administration of the city and bring about something like order. In response to a request for q message to the outside world, the two officials gave the Associated Press the following: n

Colonel House is keeping Presi- dent Wilson constantly advised as to the progress of events.
 Great importance is attached here to the course followed by the allied and American governments in deferring peace settlements with Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria until Germany also shall surrender or be crushed. This policy is counted upon to prevent any eleventh hour attempt on the part of the Ger mans to SOW seeds of discord among the allies.
 In view of the general situation the smashing Franco-American victories north and west of Verdun are regarded as significant. Unless an armistice in terrupts, it is believed the thrust will be pressed home reIentlessy to cut the German front in the west in half before there is another halt.
 With hardened mountaineeers of the Italian army available for use elsewhere with the surrender of Austria some ob- servers look for immediate preparation for the invasion of Germany by way of Alsace-Lorraine Italian picked troops might be spared at once to join such a campaign, as they would not be needed to carry out operations incidental to the Austrian surrender.
 Not only. will the whole fighting man power of allied and American armies be availablesnow for the task of crush ing Germanys defensive front, but to supplement the already vastly superior equipment of those armies in guns, air craft and all other war machinery, there ] is now at the disposal of Marshal Foch Rll the Bulgarian, Turkish and Austrian ,lnilitary equipment To answer such @ @oncentration Germany has only depleted Mfserves of men, guns and munitions.

 Japan and the United States would surely clash some day and we would then furnish both sides with enormous quantities of material and munitions. We would have extinguished our debt, armed ourselves and at the moment when the two parties were exhausted, would have joined one of them probably Japan, and would have imposed conditions which we are unable to obtain at this time.
 The sole hope that remains to me is that the present German offer is nothing. but feint to SOW discord in the camps of the allies and to gain time to reas- semble and regroup our forces.'

 Give Surplus Earnings

Washington, November 3.-The rail- road administration today made public a list of 26 railroad companies which apparently are prospering to such an extent that they are able to turn over surplus earnings to the government ad- ministration without asking for re- turn of part of these or additional gov- ernment help. Nearly s7S,00O,000 has been paid in this manner.
 Roads with this record include the Atlantic Coast Line and the Lonis- vile and Nashville.
