Anxious llonths

Premier Lloyd George an
nounced Monday that the next
couple of months would be anxious
ones. There might be a great
blow coming in the next few
hours, he said, and certainly in the
next few days, and on this blow
the issue Of the campaign might
depend.
The entente allies, he added,
never felt better prepared to
meet it.
Premier Lloyd George said the
Austrians were in full retreat. The
question now was, be added,
whether they would be able to eff
feet a retreat.

BLACKBERRY CROP
Far Short of Average, but Some
Cultivated Berries

The blackberry crop is a failure
this year. which means great loss
to the people who make practice
OF canning this berry extensively
for winter use. In this respect
the blackberry is very valuable
crop, and its loss this year, when
food products is being conserved,
will be felt.
The cultivated crop was not en-
tirely frozen out by the extremely
cold winter, and the truckers
around Irrelevant made some ship
ments, althoughlthe yield was far
below the average.
B. G. Lnndy, of that place,
gives an interesting statement of
the sales from a plot of ground
containing one acre and a fraction
over that he has in blackberries
Mr.. Lundy states that he picked
I07 crates from this acre, which
he sold at $3.50, netting him S253
The growers of the cultivated
blackberry always fine ready
sale for their output and mostly at
very fair prices.

ITALIANS VICTORIOUS
Austrian Army Being Beaten
Back and Depleted

The Austrian Army has been
beaten back and greatly depleted
by the valorous Italians on the
eastern front. Some magnificent
victories have been won, creating
the hope in Rome that the war
may be brought to a victorious
close this year.
At this time it looks like the
victories will assume the proper
tions of veritable triumph for
the Italians, and a disaster of great
magnitude to the defeated enemy.
In the Austrian retreat the Italians
captured thousands of prisoners,
many big guns and enormous stores
of war material.
1t is also reported that the Aus
trains have internal troubles, in
the nature Of lack of food supplies
and distrust Of fair treatment at
the hands Of their German allies.
All Of which is having its effect on
the morale of the Austrian army
and people.

While RoSSiter was in Germany HI

prisoners held by the allies. Thi

was never allowed to stay in one place
more than Il few weeks. In the year
that he was there he was in nine diff
ferent prison camps, located in vari-
Gus parts of Germany. On each trip

wandering prisoners stopped ut every

ably difficult under the violent enemy fire.
 With two waterways and two-thirds of a mile of mud land successfully ne- gotiated the Americans had only the customary fighting and went to it with no delay and in ever-increasing num- bers.
 The Germans, who apparently had as- sumed that it was impossible to cross the Mouse, gave way without great re- sistance before men who could brave their fire, swim two rivers and cross la swamp with almost charmed lives and attack them without pausing for even moment.
 The Mouse has now been spanned by several temporary bridges, which were put down immediately on the heels of the German withdrawal.
 WILLY EASILY TAKEN
 The capture of Milly was compara- lively easy after Dun had been reached, and the American advance had beei lrapidly sustained since the moment the Americans touched foot on the east bank of the canal. The troops, though tired by the exertions. found the fight Ing there easy as compared with their lpreyious experiences when they were unable to respond to the galling fire. 1 The retreat from the east bank of the Mouse began rapidly, with the Americans in hot pursuit. The German withdrawal eased the pressure on the Mouse line at Dun, where, up to that time, an attempt to cross had not been made. But it was soon possible to throw over pontoon bridges with com paratively little opposition Other bridges were constructed capable of carrying over the artillery and heavy l trucks, and after that the operations were continued vigorously.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-07


 The crossing involved the forcing of way over thea16o foot river, a half mile wide stretch of mud and 6O-foot canal in the face of a frightful enemy fire. It also involved swimming by those who knew. how and the pulling of others over ropes. GrappHng irons were used to scale the sheer walls of the canal, along which machine gunners had been posted, under the fire of scores of batteries. from the, hills adjoining.
 NO MAN HESITATED
 The order to cross the canal came at midafternoon Monday. The troops re- ceiyed their grim instructions under a sun which was shining for the first time in days. The men Knew almost as we'll as their commanders the diff ficulty Of the task and realized how well-nigh impossible it's accomplish ment would be- Y ct they never doubted or hesitated.
 The orders were to send over one brigade first, and if it failed to send an- other and others, one after the. other. if it became necessary. It was with dash that the Americans tackled the problem. Theoretically. they had the choice Of crossings. anyW heresfor five miles. Actually they were limited to one point. where .twp=thirass of mile of mud lay between the river itself and the canal that roughly parallels the river.
 The Germans were too firmly en- trenched at all other spots. They had not protected themselves with trenches here only because they never dreamed that the Americans would be so dar- ing as. to try to negotiate the passage
