keen in closer touch with the evacuat-

the Americans were fed by passing

During the offensive only one Ameri-
can was killed Six were wounded
slightly.
The roads are still blocked with
blown up bridges and general wreck
age. There still are thousands OF un-
counted prisoners behind the Italian
front.
Prisoners with whom the correspond
ent talked indicated the greatest in
terest in American political events.
They do not regard the United States
as an enemy.
"Wilson is our god" said one major.
"He finished the war and also is help
ing us to freedom"
General vittiro Alfier, member of
the Italian War Commission, former
Minister of War and former Food Con-
troller, died to-day Of influenza. He
had played most prominent part in
ltaly's war organization.
TRIEST, Nov. 1.-THE American Red
Cross, under the direction Of Major
Samuel l.. Fuller. is organizing relief
work here, especially for the thousands
of Italian prisoners concentrated in
1riest and Istria
Roy P. Mcconnell, of New York, and
J Rogers, Canton, Ohio, Red Cross
leutenants, were the first Americans
to enter Triest. They started with lor-
ries filled with foodstuffs and porta-
lie kitchen and made the trip close up
with the advancing Italian army. Most
of the time they were under fire. When
Monfalcone was reached the Italians
called a halt.
But" said the lieutenants to-day
Eve decided to proceed to Triest. The
Austrians received US everywhere with
fierce looks and seemed inclined &c
make trouble when they saw the flag
on our car. The Italian population
however, as soon as they recognized
the American colors, whipped off THEN
hats and embraced US, crying, Viva
American Viva Wilson!' After this we
had no trouble in reaching Triest, where
the population gave us an extraordi-
nary reception"

New Evidence Proves Kaiser
Deliberately Planned the War
Late Royal Cousin Into Conference Regarding
Conflict He Would Preciptate

Pellaviceni had told me few months
before would be absolutely indispensa-
bic to Austria Hungary.
Austria Hungary will certainly try
to provoke Europe the King replied,
'as she tried to provoke it during
August, 1912. and throughout the whole
Of 1918, but Germany will prevent it.
Austria will bark, but Germany will
muzzle her
II repeated that l could not share
the confidence the King felt in this be-
lief, whereupon he said:
"'Then | will tell you great secret.
Emperor William has decided on gen.
eral war, but it will not occur for an
other three years. BY that time we
will have completed our constitutions
reforms and will be ready
81 have often since then,"' continued
Jonescu, "tried to solve this mystery
King Carol knew at the beginning Of
July. 1914, that William had decided
on war, but did not know that it was
for that year. Was William still hesi-
tating as to when he would plunge
Europe into conflict, or was he afraid
to tell Carol the whole truth?
"Personally, / am inclined to accept
the latter Interpretation. I believe
that William wished to prepare his
cousin, King Carol, for what was com,
ing, but did not want to let him know
the whole Of his plans. What is GER
tain is that at the beginning Of July
1914. before Austria sent the ultima
tum to Serbia, William had decided to
provoke general European war"

Would Seize German Art
Mayors Committee Proposes
This Form of Indemnity

As IN Indemnity for the vandalism
practised by the German and Austrian
soldicry in the countries of the En-
tentc Allies the sub committee OH arts
and decorations Of the Mayors Com
mittee on National Defence has sug
gested to President Wilson that an
inter-Allied commission of artists be
sent through the Teutonic countries to
select works Of art to be turned over
to the Allies along with a money in
demnity.
Henry Macdonald. director general
of the Mayors Committee on National
Defence, made public yesterday a reso-
luton to this effect which was being
sent to the President
The artists said in their resolution:
1--WE believe that at least partial
reparation might be made by Ger
many's and Austria's surrender of such
works of art now held on German and
Austrian territory, as the vandals by
their own acts must be judged incapable
Of appreciating and unworthy of CON
tinuing to have and to hold"

Successes Gained by Amer
leans Among Most Vital
of the War
Foes Strong Lines
Were Shattered
Advances Made by Amer
ican Fighters Enabled
Allies to Progress

PARIS, Nov. II (By The Assoc lated
Press).-Out of the confusion and
haze Of the crowding military events
on the Western battle line since late
in September, when battle followed
battle until from Flanders to Verdun
there WAS ceaseless action, it is now
permissible to outline to a certain cx-
tent the part played by the American
armies in the final decisive battle of
the war, which ended with the armis-
tce Of last Monday.
It may be stated that twenty-one
: than 10000 American combat troops,
participated in the action beginning
September 26. known variously as the
Battle Of the Argonne and the Battle
Of the Meuse. but which history may
call Sedan-the battle that brought
Germany to her knees and, as far as
human foresight goes, ended the
worlds bloodiest and costliest war.
st. Mihiel Victory Vital
In order to understand the military
aituation which made the Argonne
operations the crux of the war it is
necessary to 20 back to the reduction
Of the ST. Mihiel salient in the middle
Ct September. This brilliant American
accomplishment Is still fresh in his
tory. 1t Cut off at one stroke men
aring enemy projection toward Ver-
dun and weakened the enemy's de-
fensive by threatening Metx, one Of
Germanys two greatest advance rail
way centres for distributing troops
and supplies along the Montmedy-Se-
dan line
Metz also was the pivot on which the
enemy swung through Belgium into
France, and therefore obviously il was
the pivot On which his retirement must
hinge The Argonne, the next step
below here, threatened the great rail
way a,terias RUNNING westward from
MatZ
With thu conclusion OF the St Nj
hial action the steady inflow OF Ameri-
can fnrces caused a displacement Of
power as between the Allied and Ger
man armies Thus 1t no longer was
necessary to pursue 8 policy of reduc-
ing a~salient or nibbling it, The
American troops had shown what they
conld do.
A broader policy Of general attack
along the entire line was then adopted
and the high command called upon
General Pershing to take the Argonne
sector, admittedly one of the most, il
not entirely the most difficult of the
whole front. The broken terrain, The
topography and the lack of roads made
problem difficult to describe Ger
many had IN four years fortified it t.

superb roads, both rail and motor, con

SURE CURES" FOR
INFLUENZA DENOUNCED
USE OF VACCINES STILL IS
IN EXPERIMENTAL STAGE,
OFFICIAL REPORT

Washington, Oct. 2o-Use OF vac
cines in combating or treating
Spanish influenza has not gone be-
yond the experimental stage so far
rs the United States public health
service has been able to learn. In a
statement tonight the public health
service warned the public against
any Of the "sure cures" being advo-
Gated for the malady, which. ac-
cording to reports today is rapidly
subSiding in all army camps and is
showing leSSening incidence in
many states among the civilian pop
'ulation.
1T must be remembered, said
Surgeon Genc-al Blue in statement
tonight that several different vac
clneS are being tried. The reports
received do not permit any con-
clusion whatsoever regarding the
efficacy OF these yaccineS or their
relative merits.
The health service urges the pub
lie to remember that there is no spe-
cific cure for influenza. and that
many OF the alleged cures and rem
edies being recommended by drug
gistS, nostrum venders and others
do more harm than good. The chief
reliance must be onmedical atten-
ton, good nursing, fresh air, nutri-
tlous food, plenty OF water and
cheerful surroundings"
Reports received today by the
public health service showed the ep-
idemic to be subsiding in seevral
states, including Oklahoma.
The reports received from army
camps continued favorable today.
and Secretary Baker indicated his
belief that the army medical author
ltles have the situation in hand. 1t
was intimated by Mr.. Baker that the
epidemic will not further delay mill
tarN plans to any extent
The number OF new cases of influ-
cnza reported from army camps to
the surgeon general today num-
bered LOOP, in comparison with g.
SIS yesterday.
