After Remarkable Exploit
on Italian Battlefront.

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Wednesday.
Jan. 2 (by the Associated Prcss) A
description OF tho bnttle or the
French In their recent successful
operation on Monte Tomba was given
to the correspondent by Il veteran
officer who witnessed, II.
1T was n record making fight In
many respects" he declared. Just
think; the French took moro pris-
oners than they had men engaged.
which is among the records In mill
tary annals. They also captured
their first Austrian prisoners, which
Ia another milestone for them. as
heretofore they had captured only
Germans.
I'm addition 20 the ] 400 prisoners
we counted $50 dead on tho ground
and no ono knows how many more
were In the cavcrns and under bush.
cs. The perfect French military sys-
TEN enabled them 10 accomplish this
with insignificant loss less than sfty
men.
The Both Austrian Division. which
was the one attacked. Is considered
good fighting organization. but this
was the first time they had met thc
highly trained Fronch troops. Tho
result was that rawness and indlscip-
line were swept away before dis
cipline and training.
When the prisoners were brought
IN ! never saw more miserable, plti-
rul, starved lot Of soldiers They
looked like the riffrafr from the slums
OF somo big city. Even the officers
appeared underfcd and undorclothcd,
and 1 saw only one with whole pair
Of breechcs.
When the officers were lined up
there were forty two Aus,rlans and
two Germans. Tho Austrlnns were
told they would receive tho usual
treatment given officers and gcntle-
men, but the two Germans were told
plainly that they would receive ,x-
actly the same treatment as given
French oiiicers In Germany. The group
OF Austrian officers was impressed
greatly az this md openly declared
neir hatred Of the Germans. A little
hter We heard the Austrian soldiers
cheering and II turned out they were
cheering their French oaptorF.
The success shows the necessity
for trained troops, as unframed troor y
could not possibly have secured such
results. 1t was exactly the same as
kgetting Is per cent on your money
instead Of . per cent
The spirit ana enthusiasm OF the
| French troops as they lcapcd into 'hc

SENATE ACTS ON
SOLDIERS FARMS
BY JEAN KNOTT

Widespread attention is being d.
reeted to a bill which the Senate
Committee on Public Lands are unan-
imously reported to appropriate
81 100000 to make surveys of land
with a view TO insurIng returning
soldiers opportunity to get farms on
easy terms.
In its report the committee says:
The proposed legislation is for the
purpose OF providing an opportunity
to procure homes for those of our re-
turning sailors and soldiers who may
wish them upon their return from
the war. as well as giving a like OPP
portunfty to Thousands OF workers in
munitions factories and other war in

after election. The charge is freely
made by the drys that some poll
ticians are DESTROYS of holding II
back until election is over. while the
vets want to delay IL as long as pos
sible. The bill goes back to confer
ences with the House taking no action
to strike at the profiteering now GO
ing on in Washington at expense OF
thousands of war workers. 1t looks
as II there would be no legislation at
all on this subject.
Leaders now admit the revenue bill

The disposition now is to lay over
until after the election everything
possible. The oil leasing bill and the

day whether the investigation under

a premature peace which will leave
Germany unpublished. In all likeIi-
