Third IN A YEAR
On the Piave Austrians and
Allies Battle Again.
But Now 1t Is Austrians Who
Are Retreating.

Italian Headquarters on the Piave.
Oct. 29.-The Piave, for the third
time in one year. is the scene of a
desperate battle. This time. however.
the tables are turned against the Aus
TRANS who are steadily being pressed
back from the eastern bank OF the
river. The battle now has been going
on for five days and has been marked
by the desperate resistance of the
Austrians. They have directed their
artillery fine against pontoon bridges
thrown across the Piave. and their
bombing airplanes also have caused
trouble for the allies. The allies not
only have had to battle against the
swift river current but also to contend
with the renewal of the pontoons and
footbridges damaged by the Austrians.
Once across the river the allies have
had to overcome strong Austrian
trench positions and machine gun
posts.
Prisoners Know Nothing.
Austrian prisoners declare they
know nothing of the political situation
at home and the efforts Of their gov
eminent to arrange an armistice. The
Austrian army postoffice is said to
have stopped the delivery of mail some
time ago.
The British, Italian and French SOL
diers are in the best of spirits and
eager to continue the advance. All
the roads leading to the mountains or
the Piave are crowded with heavy
masses of troops. guns and other war
material proceeding to the front in
orderly fashion. The presept battle of
the Piave began officially October 10.
but heavy fighting did not develop I'M
til October "a. the anniversary of
retreat to the Piave.
Fair Weather Helps.
Thanks to the fair weather OF the
last few days the river has been left
several miles behind in the region
southeast of Montello. Movements
across the river in force are increasing
steadily and in the best order, not
withstanding the constant Smelling
from the Austrian artillery. Traffic
has been so well organized there has
been scarcely any interruption. The
vast network OF roads leading to the
plains of-the Piave are filled with SOL
diers and trucks carrying war mater
ial. Whenever a bomb or shell drops
on the roadways the debris is quickly
removed and the road once again is
free.
Gangs OF Austrian prisoners captur-
ed in the drive already are at work
digging graves for the burial of the
| dead.
King Victor Emmanuel saw the al
lied soldiers make the difficult cross
| ing of the Piave river. He was dressed
as usual. in a uniform made Of tn.
same material as that of the private
| soldiers.
| The king was under the fire OF thu
| Austrian guns and was at various
points where gas shells and shrapne
were falling. He spent much time nea,
where there was a heavy lombard
ment to prevent the allied passage o
| the river.

BACK IN Topeka
Mrs. Garrett Has Large Force
Fighting the Democrats.
WOman's Party Representative
To Start on Another Tour.

Mrs. Louise Garrett representing
the National Woman's Party in Kan
sas during the political campaign. has
returned from a campaign trip to
Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas
City. She will leave tonight to mako
addresses in Hutchinson, Newton, En-
poria and other towns of the state.
The Woman's Party at it's local
headquarters has just received word
that the new senator from South Caro-
lima, has declared for equal suffrage.
This stand on his part makes it neces-
sary now for only one vote to be gain
ed in the senate for the required two
thirds majority to pass the amend
ment to the national constitutions en-
franchisingthe women of America.
Use Many Clerks Here.
At the headquarters in the National
hotel. the Kansas branch of the Wo-
mans party is employing a dozen
clerks. A circular letter and some
of the party's literature will be sent to
all the women voters of this state. One
of the hand bills that will be given out
to women on election DAY, reads.
Women voters, the Democrats didn
come across for you on October 1st.
See that you don't come across for
them on November 5th." The work of
the party in Kansas looks toward the
defeat of the Democratic senatorial
candidate, inasmuch as it was in the
senate that the suffrage amendment
was defeated.
In New Hampshire the Woman's
party is working against the election
of the Republican candidate for the
senate, inasmuch as he cast his vote
againstthe amendment and his Demo-
cratic opponent is in favor of suf-
frage. Alice Paul. national chairman
of the party, has telegraphed to state
headquarters as follows:
All Blame on Democrats.
eve urge all women to remember
that the Democratic party is respon-
sible for the defeat of national suf-
frage; that the Democratic party re-
fused its support to the president the
only time he went personally and
asked the senate to pass q measure
that he stated was necessary for the
winning of the war. We are not for
the Republican party nor the Demo-
cratic party: we are not for any party.
We are only for the political freedom
of women. We appeal to the women
already enfranchised to help win that
freedom for other women by casting
your votes against the candidates of a
party that refused suffrage to Ameri-
| can women. Had the Democratic
party contributed 10 per cent of its
strength, as did the Republican party
instead of 81 per cent as it did, the
amendment would now be ready fc1
ratification by the state legislatures "

JUST LIKE THE REST
Present Flu Outbreak Investigated by
BaEferiO}OCista

London, Oct 28.-Bacterial investi-
cation shows that the present out
break of influenza does not differ from
other epidemics of the same malady,
the higher mortality rate being due to
secondary infection, according to a
statement made by William Hayes
Fisher in the house of commons to-
day.
While the rise in the rate Of deaths
is considerable he said it is not as
great here as that experienced at
Vienna, Paris and other places. A
conference of medical authorities and
meteorological experts, held today, or
dered a research made into the causes
and nature Of the disease. 1t is hoped
to trace the microbe and find a means
of destroying it.

NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORUB.
In addition to the usual method of
using VapoRub-that is. applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths-our customers are
writing us daily telling of their success
in using VapoRub in other ways. par
ticularly as a preventive. They melt
little in a spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or melt it in a benzoin steam
kettle Where the steam kettle is not
available, VapoRub can be used in an
ordinary teakettle. Fill the teakettle
half full of boiling water. put in half
a teaspoon of NapoRub from time to
tfme-keep the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arising.
According to a Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, DR.. Stiles

nose be kept creased as a preventive
measure against the Influenza germs
