ITALIAN DRIVE MAY OUTFEANK
 AUSTRIAN ARMY Withdrawal of Austrian Forces Will Be Result of Any Italian Success,
 Officials Believe

Washington, October 25.-The sud- den flare of activity on the Italian front after months of almost quiet, attracted quick attention today among military officials here. It was noted however, that first official reports from Rome carefully refrained from describing the actions as a drive
 The fact that nearly 5000 prisoners were taken yesterday shows the sur prise of the attacks and it may also indicate waning morale in the Aus be surprised if the Austrian forces, in view of the conditions at home, showed weakness under heavy assault.
 The place selected for the attack indicates that the present operations may be preliminary steps to major offensive. If the high ground between the Brenta and Piave rivers is carried in sufficient force, observers here be- lievo, it might be possible for the Ital- ian army supported by French and British units and artillery, and possi- ply by American troops, to reach the valley of the Upper Piave and outflanlz the whole Austrian position on the lower stretches of the river, running from the Montegrappa plateau to the sea. Immediate withdrawal of the Austrian forces on this line would ap- pear to be the certain result of any shrinking Italian success on the lines now under assault
 The Piave forms great loop flow ing down toward the plateau from the northwest. then swinging sharply southeast to reach the sea. West of the Montegrappa heights that defect the rivers course, the Brenta flows down from the northwest and bends sharply south about the eastern face of the rugged plateau. It is in the terri tory between the two rivers that~the new attack has been launched
 Aside from the military significance. the operation in Italy is being watched closely by officials here as a test of the spirit of the Austrian army. Reports of disorders and dissatisfaction in the dual monarchy have been persistent for months and it is regarded as quite within range of possibility that the war weariness at home will show itself decisively at the front, In that case the early equalization of Germauy's chief ally might be expected.

MAJOR RYAN AND
STAFF REVIEW TEMPLE

Major Thomas F. Ryan and staff Of
ficers from indianapolis. came to Ham
mond Saturday to witness the con-
struction of the tabernacle. They were
entertained at the country club.
TT is hard to find words to express
the inspiration that the sight of the
building of the tabernacle has given
me-" said Major Ryan. 1T is an exam
pie that our other cities should follow
The energy of the workmen was to me
marvellous and indicated the spirit of
the city. Such great demonstrations are
only to be expected of cities that have
sent as many men into the service of
their country as Hammond has.
While I have an opportunity I wish
to say something to the mothers and
fathers of boys in the service. There
are many men in France and there will
be losses. When fathers or mothers lose
sons in service we would like to keep
them from putting claims in the hands
of attorneys. There are certain things
that must be done and the attorneys can
not hasten them. We ask the fathers
and mothers to take their claims to Ser
geant WEIGH or write to me at Indian
apolis and we will serve them. There
will be doubtless be attorneys later who
will serve them without charge and we
will designate these attorneys We do
not want to have the fathers and moth
ers pay fees for this work"
Major Ryan was asked If he thought il
would be proper to hold dance in the
tabernacle during the evening.
He replied that at this time with so
many men on the firing line he did not
think it would be appropriate.
The big Liberty Bell was put in place
shortly after 8 o'clock
