WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN
VENET1A, Nov. (By The Associated
Press) The 332d American Regiment,
which is operating with the 31st Ital-
ian Division of the Tenth Army, to-
night was crossing the Livenza River
in the direction Of Tiezzo. The Amer
leans, who were commanded by
Colonel w. NJ. Wallace, passed through
Roverbasso, southwest of Sacile, this
afternoon.
During their advance the Americans
had been fired upon by Austrian ma
chine guns using dumdum bullets.
Major Somerville, Of Seattle, has for
warded q number of the bullets to the
headquarters Of the American military
mission. The bullets were manu-
factured two years ago, and each car

one woman. She was dressed in uni
form, carried gun and had endured
the same discipline and privations as
the soldiers. Evidence received indi-
Gated that this was merely one of those
instances in which woman managed
to get into the firing line to seek ad-
venture and that the German govern
ment is not beginning to use women
in the battle zone.
When the order for the attack was
given the Americans moved forward
unhesitatingly along the whole line.
The fact that the greatest advance
was made in the centre Is due to the
plans drawn up before hand rather
than to the strength of the German re-
sistance on either wing. The advance
was carried out in keeping with the
schedule.
In the centre La Dhuy Farm. about
two-thirds of a mile from the start
ing point, was taken by 7 o'clock. 1t
was defended by infantry, machine
guns and some artillery. The Ha-
zois Wood was cleared by 10 o'clock,
500 prisoners being taken there. The
village of Landreville, one mile north
west of the wood, was occupied at
1O:45 and Remonville, about a mile
northeast of Landreville, was taken at
1880. The village of lmecourt, to
the southwest, was captured at 10
o'clock in the morning and shortly
after noon Bayonville, north of Re-
knoxville, was added to the list.
In breaking through on this front
the Americans shattered the last
strongholds Of the Kriemhilde posi-
tons to which the Germans had clung
so stubbornly. The enemy positions
were protected by wire entangl lements,
machine guns and artillery, but the
light tanks leading the infantry moved
forward almost uninterruptedly. Very

four ships of that class, the most

The reconquest of the northeastern
section of Italy, lost to the enemy last
year, continues without halt. The vic
torious advance has put such fire into
the blood of the Italian soldiers that
their superior officers must restrain
them from rushing into danger unnec-
essarily.
The pressure of the Italians on the

tinue his hurried retreat.

Secretary Carl Dodds Of the Cham

following communication:
Germantown, KY, Jan. q, 1918.
Mr.. Carl Dodds,
Dear Sir:
In response to your request Of a
few days ago through the daily papers
of Maysville as to obtaining any
names of Mason county boys who
are enlisted in service and not re-
ported in your file, take pleasure in
sending to you the name of John Paul
Jones, of Germantown, KY. Paul was
16 years old September 8, 1916, and
on February 10, 1917, enlisted in
Maysville and was sent to Columbus,
Ohio. Remaining in Columbus less
than 30 days, from Columbus he was
sent to Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio,
Texas. Soon after arriving there, he
with thirteen other boys, was strick-
en- with spinal meningitis. Eight of
the fourteen died, Paul being one of
the lucky six that lived. Three of the
siN got entirely we'll and again Paul
was one of the lucky three.
In May he was sent to Hot Springs
Arkansas, to regain his health and
strength. He stayed at Hot Springs
until October. Then he returned to
San Antonio and later In the fall he
was sent to Port Arthur, Texas, where
he is in training as we'll as helping
guard some government property.
When Paul enlisted his intention
was to be an aviator but his long and
severe sick spell affected his nerves
and he is now enlisted in Company F.
10Th Infantry.

Mr.. !. N. Wood one of the members
was reported sick and the President
appointed sick committee to visit
him.
A motion was adopted closing the
store Of all the members of the or
ganization at o'clock each evening
except Saturday, and at 10 o'clock on
Saturday evening. The president was
also authorized to appoint a commit
tee to wait on the non-members in an
endeavor to do likewise This meas
ure the grocers felt was in line with
the wishes Of the government and
they felt they would render the gov
ernment a patriotic service in doing
so as a fuel conservation measure.
A feeling of general satisfaction
was expressed in the most satisfac-
tory manner in which County Food
Administrator Cochran was treating
the grocers of this vicinity. They
were very much pleased in the way
the special food committee handled
the proposition of delivery in behalf
of the buying public.
Many cities are at present using the
Cash and Carry" system. The State
Journal carried an article yesterday
stating that the Cash and Carry" sys-
TEN is to be introduced in all the
grocery stores of Frankfort beginning

a great saving to the grocerymen OF
Maysville but they are willing that
their customers have the privilege Of
delivery service granted them as long
as the government will permit. The
carrying of small parcels by the Gus.
toners will postpone the Inauguration

Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been much thawing of snow and
ice during the past few days there is
no indication that the ice blockade in
the river will break up any ways soon,
unless there should come heavy
rain. Even then the ice would be COW
cred by water for several days before
it would begin to move. 1t is hoped
that the weather will remain warm
with no rain for the next week so as
to give the ice and snow a chance to
