London, Jan. 19-Gen. Diaz's men
have just won a clean victory over
Austro-German forces, which made
an assault on the Capo Sile bridge
head at the upper end of the Piave
Delta and to the northwest of Ven-
ice. The enemy failed to take any
of the Italian defenses and lost heav-
lily in the attempt
This point is of special importance,
as its loss would mean that the foe
had taken the first line of the Vene-
tian defenses and could soon start
operations through the maze of
swamps, streams and islands that
hedge in the GOndola City.
The Italian generalissimo reported
today that the attack was made
Thursday night ION a wide 'front.'"
the defending batteries were alert
and cut most of the Teutonic storm
ing parties to pieces before they
could cross the space intervening be-
tween the opposing lines. At a few
spots the Teutons reached the Italian
barbed wire defenses, which Diaz's
statement would lead one to believe

teries. Held up there, the assailants
were all destroyed or forced to fee

machine guns.
The Italian communique also mem
tions special artillery activity near

the stream and in the eastern sector
Of Montello; also patrol encounters

daily hours would eliminate the ne
cessity OF obtaining 1000 new en-
ployes

cation in the summer: he is entitled
TO thirty days sick leave each year; he

THE w s.'ss ss29HERALD
ONE CENT

Last April The Washington Herald was
compelled by the high and uncertain cost of
newsprint and other materials going into the
making of a newspaper, to raise its price on
street sales and news stands to two cents
copy.
Conditions less abnormal now enable us
to return to the old daily price of One Cent
a Copy, and commencing tomorrow. Monday,
January n. and thereafter. the daily price
will be one cent on news stands and on the
streets in Washington and suburbs
The delivery price which has been main
tanned at 30 cents month will continue The
price for the daily and Sunday by mail will
be 45 cents month. or $500 year.
The marked improvement in The Herald
has been responsible for increased circulation
and advertising. The new price will, we feel
sure, add many thousands of readers and
friends The Herald will continue to improve
its news services and its feature services-now
the best of any daily paper in Washington
in the belief that by merit it will achieve a
distinct place in community that has been
exceedingly kind.

REDS SUFFER
FIRST DEFEAT
IN PETROGRAD
Kerensky's Former Minis
ter Of Agriculture
Heads Soviet.

Petrosrad, Jan. l9.-"Tried and
found wanting" is the verdict of the
Russian people regarding Bolsheviki
rule. 1t was rendered through the
first vote of the constituent assem-
bly, today. By vote of 244 against
l55 M. Tchernof, Minister of Agri-
culture under Kerensky. was elected
presiding officer. Thi, was but one
of the many conclusive evidences
furnished at the assembly opening
session that the Bolsheyiki, though
nominally in power represent a
minority of the people.
Stung by their defeat. the Bol-
sheviki marched in a body out of
the big meeting hall in the Tauride
Palace. With them went the left
or ultra radical wing of the So
cial Ievolutionists.
Capital In TurmaiI.
Petrograd has been since early
this morning the scene of tur-
moil closely resembling that OF the
March revolution. The principal
streets of the capital are battle
fields So far the casualty list is
rot heavy considering the fighting
that has taken place. but dark days
are ahead it is feared and there
can be no estimate of the bloodshCd
that may occur until the assembly
is permanently adjourned.
Ominous whisperings are in the
air. II only half of the rumors
have foundation in fact spectacles
recalling the Commune stages of
the French revolution will be on
the daily program shortly in this
seething city of the hungry and the
heart sick.
Kerensky Is said to be in hiding
here awaiting the psychological
moment Tor q coup. The election OF
Tchernon as the assembly presid-
ing officer augurs we'll for the ex-
premier IL he is indeed here. But
for Russia as a whole the super
crisis seems drawing near.
Open rupture between Russia and
Rumania is virtually an accom-
pIished fact. The last publicly an
nounced act of the Bolsheviki was
the dispatch OF two hour ultima
tums to the Rumanian government
to let Bolsheviki troops pass
through Jassy. But whatever hap
pens may be declared null and
void by the power that seizes con-
troll during or after the assembly
sittings.
Only unforeseen developments seem
now capable of saving the Bolsheviki
regime.
All day long the clatter Of machine
guns was heard in P,etrograd.
Many women have ben wounded.
They were caught in the criss-cross
FIRE as they searched for food or fuel.
Some hid in dark Railways eagerly
watching for a stray bullet to crasn
into a frame house or telegraph
pole. then darted forward to gather

Most of the armed clashes were
caused by the newly formed alliance
