BRITISH CROSS
PIAVE River
More Than 5000 Austrians
Taken Prisoner in 0ffen-
Sive on italian Front
on Sunday.

Rome, Oct. 28.-More than 5000
Austrians were taken prisoner in
the operations on the Italian front
yesterday, according to the war Of
flee announcement today. Fifty-one
guns were also captured.
The Italian and British troops
have crossed the Piave river, not
withstanding the resistance of the
Austro- -Hungarians.
In Albania the Italians have
reached the vicinity of Alessio, 20
miles southeast of Scutari.
The text of the communication is
sued by the war office follows:
"Our army in conjunction with
allied contingents, has crossed the
Piave river by force of arms, en-
gaging in bitter battles the enemy,
who strove desperately to bar the
way.
Between the slopes and heights
of Valdobbiadene and the mouth of
the Soligo torrent our infantry as
sault troops passed during the night,
under violent fire, to the left bank
of the river, broke into the enemy 5
front lines and carried them.
Supported by the fire of the ar
tillery on the right bank they gained
ground and repulsed enemy counter
attacks throughout the day.
ITO the south the 10th army, TAX
ing advantage of the successes of
the British at Grave Di Pappado-
polo, compelled the enemy to re-
tire and repulsed two counter at
tacks in the direction of Borgo
Malanotte and Roneadelle. The
prisoners taken yesterday aggre-
gated more than 5000. Fifty-one
guns were captured.
Allied aircraft with extreme dar-
ing, attacked the enemy troops from
low attitudes.
"In local fighting on Monte
Grappa $50 prisoners were taken.
The enemy heavily attacked on
Monte Pertica and obtained foot
hold in the Italian positions
although at great sacrifices. Later
the Italian infantry in severe fight
ing drove out the enemy and re-
gained the lost positions.
"Jn Albania, Our advance guards,
having overcome the resistance of
the enemy have crossed the Matt
river and are marching on Alessio."

BY Associated Press.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 2S-Although
the German army is making the
most desperate effort in the wars
history to prevent the Americans
from breaking through in the vital
Verdun sector, it is equally or more
fearful that there may be a breach

With division after division of

the enemy is bitterly defending HIM

an elaborately strong trench system
with rows of barbed wire and even
electrified wire, that he has fever
ishly working during the past few
weeks to make Metz invulnerable.
The sytem has been laid out
roughly, between Pont-A-Mousson,

a parallel front from Chemlnot to

Hindenburg Expected
To Be Sacrificed Next
To NelU German Regime

Amsterdam, Oct. 28.-The ques-
ton heard upon all sides is wheth-
er Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
will follow in the footsteps of
Ludendorff. The Rhenish West
phalian Zeitung of Essen claims
to know that he will be>the next
sacrifice to the new regime.
The Essen Allgemeine Zeitung
mentions General Won Lossburg,
chief Of staff of the sixth army,
as. the successor of Ludendorf.
General Won Lossberg is credited
with being the inventor OF the
movable defense system"
George Bernhard writing in
the Berlin Vossische Zeitung,
while acclaiming Ludendorff as
one of the saviors Of the father
land from enemy devastation"
says the fact that he conceived
himself omniscient and omnipo-

KAISER RAPED
IN HOT DEBATE
IN REICH STAG
Socialist Intimates German
Emperor Will Have to
= Face Trial Before Grim
inai Court.

Amsterdam, Oct. 2S.-Exciting
scenes occurred In the German
reichstag during the proceedings of
the house on Friday and Saturday.
Outspoken speeches were INDUCED
in.
In the course Of the discussion the
Polish deputy, - Kofrantz, declared
that in Chemnitz alone the war raw
materials department sold 100000
marks wol of carpets and other
goods taken from Poland. Seven
hundred thousand poor Polish peo-
pie were carried off to Germany,
where they led the life OF slaves,
while Brig. General Pilsudski, (of
the Polish legion), whom the Polish
nation regarded highly, was still
held in the fortress at Magdeburg,
despite all appeals. The deputy
concluded:
1--WE are not blaming the German
people for these prosecutions, but
German militarism. We extend the
hand of reconciliation to the Ger
man people for the common veal"
THE question cannot longer be
evaded," said DR.. Cohn, independent
socialist; war with the Hehenzol-
lerns or peace without the Hohenzol-
lerns. World revolution will follow
or world imperialism and world mill
tarism, and We will overcome them.
We extend Our hand TO our friends
beyond the frontier in this strggle." ."
The speech was received with such
commotion as cries of shame"
and applause, that the vice president
threatened to have the chamber
cleared.
Another socialist, Oto Ruehle, was
called to order for declaring that
the emperor must abdicate. He re-
torted:
"A call to order won't save him
from the criminal court"
The house debated the bill amend
ing the constitution which was
passed Saturday. Several speakers
displayed anxiety to show that the
reforms were not dictated by the
enemy, but had been advocated since
the spring of 1917.

In France the German battle line
is slowly disintegrating under the
violence of the allied offensive; in
northern Italy the Austro-Hungar-
ians' are being forced back by the
British, French and Italians with
heavy losses in men killed, wounded
or made prisoners; near the shores
of the Adriatic in Albania the
Italians are driving the Austri-
ans toward the Montenegro frontier,
while in Asiatic Turkey, both in
Syria and Mesopotamia, the British
are fast clearing the Turks from
their former strongholds.
Enemy Giving Way Steadily.
Although the Germans in France
and Flanders still are strenuously
resisting the allied attempts to
break their line, they are giving
away steadily under the force of the
attacks. In the other theaters there
apparently is not the same disposi-
ton to offer Stubborn denial of the
right of way, except possibly in the
mountain region of Italy. where an
attempt is being made by the allied
forces to open the back door into
Austria.
South of Valenciennes, in France,
Field Marshal Haig's forces, not
withstanding stiff opposition, have
advanced their line in the general
operation, which has in view the
capture of Valenciennes, and press
ing toward Mons and Maubeuge in
the general converging movement
that is going on between Belgium
and the region north of Verdun.
Force Retreat in Salient.
Further south, from the Oise river
to the region of Rethel, the French
have gained a signal victory by
forcing a retreat of the enemy in the
big salient north, of Laon and are
threatening to cause the collapse OF
the entire German line eastward
through fast turning movement.
American troops have been
thrown into the line near Rethea and
have advanced nearly mile and
taken numerous prisoners. The
German war office admits the sue
cess of the thrust of the French be-
tween the Oise and Serre rivers,
saying that the German lines were
withdrawn Sunday night to front
west of Guise and east of Crecy.
Americans Bombard Longuyon
In connection with this general
movement the Americans northwest
of Verdun have begun an operation
which possibly may have important
results. For the first time since the
Americans entered the war they

soldier and sailors, according to the
action OF the war commission of the

Railroad Men Told to Vote Democratic in
Circular Letter Just Issued By Grace

Further evidence is being received
to discredit the democratic camou-
hage pratil.g about politics being
adjourned in McAdoo's edict against
political activity in the railway
service. A counterpart of the presi-
dents recent appeal for votes on
November S, comes to hand in the
form of circular letter issued by
S. H. Grace, secretary-treasurer Of
Division No. l, Railway Employees
department, American Federation Of
Labor.
These circular letters, on the Off
cial stationery of the organization,
are addressed to Railroad En-
ployes, State of Nebraska.
Instructed as to Vote.
In direct violation of the order
of Director General McAdoo, the
circulars proceed to importune the
recipients to vote for all democratic
candidates for congress at this ii e
in order to show that we as a class
are with our president" etc.
The inference is that men must
vote for democratic candidates to
show that they are with the presi-
dent. No reference is made to the
republicans who have and are sup
porting the president.
Wage Increase Mentioned
Reference is made to increased
wages received by railroad EN-
ployes, who are reminded by Mr..
Grace that self-preservation is the
first law of nature" The demo-
cratic candidate for United States
senator is referred to by name and
the statement is made that he favors
government ownership of railroads.
1T is therefore to your interest to
vote for him if you are of the same
opinion"
Governor Neville is mentioned by
name and support for him is urged.
The governor is designated as a

PEOPLES WAR.
NOT WILSON'S.
SAYS COLONEL.
Roosevelt DenounCeS Attempt
by Administration to
to Make War P0-
IitiCaI Issue.

New York, Oct. 28.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt declared in an
address tonight that it was "the ver-
lest nonsense that even partisanshp
can conceive" to state that failure
to return a democratic congress
this fall would be interpreted by the
allies and Germany "as being a re-
pudiation of the war aims of this
country"
Speaking before the republican
club at Carnegie hall to urge the
success of the republican state ticket
here in New York and of the repub-
lican congressional ticket through
out the union the former president
asserted that what we need is an
American congress, a congress OF
straightout Americans and not a
congress of rubber stamps"
"We republicans pledge ourselves
to stand by the president so long
as he stands by the American peo-
pie and to part company from him
at any point where in our judgment
he does not stand by the people"
he said. This is the peoples gov
ernment, this is the peoples war,
and the peace that follows shall be
the peoples peace"
Senators Highly Thought OF.

effect that republican senator's such
as McCumber, Nelson and Lodge
ARE as highly thought of in France
today as are the American generals" /"
Colonel Roosevelt declared that

tration has never led the people,
has been reluctantly forced forward
into action by criticism against
which it has violently protested"
