Previous to entering military serv-
ice, Private Halstead had been en-
ployed by a local railroad company.
He tried to enlist five times and
finally succeeded through the PhiIa-
delphia recruiting office in June, 1917.
After a short training course at Co
lumbus, Ohio, he was sent to Doug
las. Ariz., where he served for ten
months. He was overseas but a few
weeks before his company was or
dered for front-line duty.
1t is believed that the injuries about
which Private Halstead writes are
the same as those reported in toGay's
casualty list. Some confusion, how
ever. has arisen in the mind of Mrs.
Lynham. his sister, as she had heard
of her brothers recovery before she
had been officially notified os his
being wounded. 1t is thought. how
ever. that both refer to the same en-
counter.

until nthey gave up all pretence
at resistance.
Austro-Hungary's polyglot army,
held together for so long by the iron
hand of discipline, threats. promises
and conjurations. crumbled at last.
and once the first breaches had been
cut into that vaunted arnior. the col
lapsing process was swift. Fear Of

terrible dread-the dread of Italy $

Disintegrntion Rapid.
Meanwhile the disintegration of the
Hapsburg .fhome front" is taking its
equally rapid course. News of what
was happening on the front reached
Vienna early today. The government
became panic-stricken. Prof. Lam
masch, the new premier, who had
hoped against hope peace could be
signed before this very catastrophe
set in, discarded all the time-honored
tricks Of concealment. He told the peo-
pie frankly what was happening and
issued appeal after appeal Not a
word did he say about the sacred
empire" the greedy enemies" or" His
Majesty" In this unutterable crisis
with mob rule rampant and the
armies in wild fight. he figured the
only appeal that would hit home was
to the stomach.
So he warned the people and the
army that a break up at the front
would bring about chaos and starva-
ton: that with the hundreds of thou
sands of troops flooding the country
feeding would become impossible. He
soIemnly promised every possible
means to bring the troops back in
order and promptly.
But from every scrap of news COM
ing out of the chaos-engulfed Aus
trian land stare the fateful words
