And to top it off, on Thursday the

The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1918-10-12

The sensational news Of the earlier
part of the week came from Palestine
and Macedonia. In the Holy Land
General Allenby, by a sudden, swift
and skillfully conducted attack,
smashed the Turkish forces between
the River Jordan and the Mediterra
mean from the Jaffa-Jericho line clear
up beyond the Sea of Galilee. Feint-
ing with his right in an attack direct
ed toward Afule, In the hill region of
Samaria, he delivered his main blow
with his left, which moved swiftly up
the coastal plain, occupying in turn
Caesarea, Haifa and Acre. This force
then quickly shifted its course toward
the northeast, turning the highlands
of Samaria and compelling the Turks
to make q precipitate and perilous re-
treat. In fact the enemy was routed
and made little effort to rally and
check the victorious progress Of the
British. Allenby's men drove forward
with amazing rapidity, capturing the
railway running from Haifa through
Afule and Nablus toward Jerusalem
and occupying Nazareth, the home of
Jesus.
Meanwhile the Arabs of Hedjaz
were moving northward along the hills
east Of the Jordan, driving the Turks
before them and threatening to sever
their line of retreat to Damascus.
Still further north another force Of
tribesmen raided the railway june
tion of Derau and destroyed the rail-
way there.
Probably $4,000 prisoners were taken
by the British In Palestine and 1t
seemed likely that almost the entire
Turkish force caught in the trap
would be captured or destroyed. The
seventh and eighth Turkish armies
were virtually annihilated. There is
added satisfaction In the fact that Ii
man Won Sanders, the German general

HUNT BEGUN FOR

Aurora, III, Oct. 29-Two police
men were probably fatally wounded
early this morning by two men who

and answers of the men to Ques-
tions were unsatisfactory. The Off
GERS, Alfred Olin and Lester We'd

lice station. They were fired on
and thrown to the roadside. Olin

men were riding in Aurora when
they shot two policemen early to-
day, the Chicago police are looking
for William Van Gundy, to whom
the automobile license was issued

police say they have not seen Van
Gundy since they arrested him two
weeks ago on a charge of having
burglar tools in his possession.

Part of Foch Plan

With the Allied Forces on the

/ Associated Press. American sol
diers are in reserve along the Piave

this morning near the river
Washington, Oct. 29-American
troops are on the verge of active
participation in the great war on
the third major front This was
the Interpretation given here today
Of news from the Italian headquar-
ters that Americans are standing in
reserve behind the British and ltal-
ian forces now driving across the
Piave
The news is considered suggest
I'VE not because of the size OF the
American contingent in Italy or the
direct effect il may have on the
battle; but because it indicates that
the Italian drive is a definite part
OF the great offensive that is rap
IDLY bringing complete defeat to the
central powers. 1t has added
meaning to officials here also since
Austria is now pleading for an i'm
mediate armistice
So far as official announcements
show there are but two regiments
Of infantry and necessary auxiliary
troops in the American force in
Italy. These units and any others
that may have been sent will oper-
ate as part of one of the Italian
CT British organizations when the
time comes to throw them into the
line. The same practice was fol
lowed in France. where two Italian
divisions have been employed at
various times on the front as units
Of a Franch army corps.
The sending of American troops
to Italy was not with the idea of
adding military strength, but to
demonstrate the unity of command
and purpose on all fronts. For that
reason the force detached by Gen
eraI Pershing for this expedition is
believed not to have exceeded bri-
gade of infantry at most. The ar
tiIlery contributed to the Italians
is largely British. Some American
air units are in Italy and have par
ticipated in the work at the front.
lJalldn announcement lOudS lHdC
{. total of 5000 Austrian prisoners
had been captured since the drive
was started shows that definite
progress is being made and it. is
possible, officials here believe, that
4 breakdown of Austrian morale
may develop at any time. While
stiff resistance is reported from
Rome, the number of captures on
very limited battlefront appears
5 signifcant.
