 IN GREAT DISORDER

Washington. Nov. 4.-Three hun dred thousand Austrian soldiers and not less than 5000 guns have been captured by the victorious Italian armies before the armistice went into effect at 3 o'clock this afternoon said an official dispatch tonight from Rome. This included all captures since the offensive began October 24. The soldiers of the once powerful Austrian army, the dispatch said. continued to flee in disorder. Since the offensive started. 63 Austrian Hungarian divisions were put out of combat by 51 Italian divisions, three British and two French divisions, with Czecho-Slovak units and an Anlrrjcan regiment. sa4 s,-ss v, <. "The war against Anstrfa-Hun- gary. which was conducted under the high command of his majesty. the King of Italy, with all army or infer- for in number and with still inferior means since the 24th of May. 1915, has come to an end," said the dis patch. With unshakable faith and indomitable val0r. the Italian army waged a continuous and hard war for period of forty-one months and won the stupendous battle begun the 24th of October and in which, were engaged tn their entirety the re- sources of the enemy.
 "So far the enemy has left in our hands 30c,000 prisoners and not less than 5000 guns. The soldiers of what used to be one of the most powerful armies in the world, are now fleeing

 From the river Brenta to the sea the irresistible impetus of the 18th, 10th and 8th army corps pressed in-. exorably the enemy retreating across the plain. The Duke of Aosta is ad-. vanding rapidly at the head of his in- vincible 3rd army, anxious to return to the old positions which he had once heroically conquered.
 "The eAustro-Hungarian army is de- stroyed. It has suffered heavy losses in the tenacious resistance during the first days of the offensive, and in. the pursuit it lost an enormous quantity of material and artillery. "fn Albania our advance guards have occupied Scutari."

 on the Mezeries- Metz railroad and l about 9 miles from Sedan, bringing both places within range of the allied l shell fire.
 1 The days work may be said to have been complete. 1t was the principal phase of the American operation since ] the neck of the German lateral com munications between the armies to the north and west are narrowed to the strangling point.
 The attacking forces to the right and left advanced with less speed than at the center, where an Ameri- can division crashed through despite
 the most stubborn opposition offered
 bv the Germans since the beginning of the offensive. The apex of the line was driven to the heights, which are
 vital affording dominating positions for the artillery.
 Patrols went into and beyond the town itself, but it's. possession is un- necessary as long as the hills are held by the Americans. The Germans
 cannot fight over the terrain north
 and northeast because of the lack of
 communicating lines there. They must fall back as soon as the American ar tillery breaks up the demaining rail-
 roads, even if the main lines from Se- dan to Metz are not smashed first. The military authorities were over- loved with the results of the days fighting. declaring that it may even
 spell the end of the present operation, and that any others to the north, westward of directly eastward would constitute entirely new operations. The American left wing pushed for
 ward sclowly but doggedly. The Am
 ericans occupied Verrieres and Oches. The right wing worked it's way down the river Mouse an reached line be- tween Beaufort and Beauclaire and north of Hales and Wiseppe. This flank met with the most stubborn
 resistance from the enemy who fought bitterly to prevent encroachment of the important town of Stenay. American troops in mass made no effort to cross the river Mouse. Pat rols encountered heavy machine gun and artilledy fire at every attempt.
 They remained at nightfall upon the west bank.
 The center moved so fast that they took prisoner German endorsements

 Events.

Amsterdam, Nov. 4.-According to dispatch from Budapest, Count KOr- olyi has resigned the presidentcy of the Hungarian National Council, which position he considers to be in- compatible with that of the premier ship. He has been succeeded at the head of the National Council by Dep uty Johann HOch. Count Karolyi will provisionally take the portfolio of foreign affairs.
 Joseph of Austria, and his son, Archduke Joseph Franz, according to a dispatch from Budapest, have taken an oath to submit unconditionally to the orders of the National Council of Hungary and to support it in all it's decrees." It was officially announced in Der lin today that Emperor Williams military cabinet has been placed un- der the minister of war. Russian Foreign Minister Tchit- cherin has telegraphed the provi- sional Czecho-Slovak government at hPrague offering to allow the Czecho- Slovak troops in Russia to return home after they lay down their arms, according to the Vienna Journal. He said he would guarantee their safety. , Party leaders of the German Reichstag in their recent discussions decided there was no necessity for laddication of the Emperor William, the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin says: /. Germania, the organ of the Gen. trist party, already has announced that the Centrist party demands his retention of the throne. The Ma tional Liberals are reported to have taken the stand that the Emperor and the Hohenzollern dynasty must remain as a symbol of German unity. A majority of the progressive party also is said to support the Emperor and the Christian Social Workers are championing his cause.
 Count Karolyi, the Hungarian pre- mier, addressing public meeting, is quoted in dispatch from Budapest
 as saying:
 "The elementary power and pub lie opinion having desired that not
 only democracy and Independence
 should be realized but that deci-
 sion should be taken regarding the future form of government, the King
 at the governments request, has re. leased the ministers from their own. ! A resolution was then passed pro

USE Of
 MONEY BY THE
 G. 0. P. LEADERS People Today Will Give President the Vote of
 Confidence. IS REELECTION
 DEMOCRATIC VIEW Republicans Claim Next Cngress and Senate. ..,...... q

Washington, Nov. 4.-In fina prediction statement tonight, Homer s. Cummings, acting Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, charged that 'lavish use of money appears to iconstitute the elevtnh hour program of the Republican leaders" and that the people tomorrow will give President Wilson the vote of confidence he has asked.
 Efforts to swing the election away from the President by the lavish use of money appears to constitute the eleventh hour program of Republican leaders," said MT. Cummings. "This Conclusion is reached after perusal of |, the statement just filed by the Re publican Committees treasurer, which shows, for example, an advance of $1O0,00O to United States Senator William M. Calder of New York on October 31.
 "The same statement shows that $23,000 was sent to T. Coleman Du- pont at Wilmington, Del, on October 29, with $5,O00 more on October 30. Illinois, however, seems to be second to New York, $34,OOO having been advanced to c. A. McCulloch, in Chi cago in four days. Of this amount $13,OOO was turned over to him on October 29 with $14,50O following on November 1.
 ''The vote of confidence President Wilson has aksed of the American people will be given him at the polls Tuesday. Reports from every section of the country, received today, plain ly indicate that the nation is thor oughly aroused to the necessity of sustaining the President in this criti- cal hour.
 "The great qualities of leadership shown by the President, now bearing fruit in war torn Europe, are appre- ciated by the people of the United States. They are willing to trust the President to continue the policies that have brought Austria Hungary, Bull garia and Turkey to terms, stripped Germany of her allies and which have sounded the death knell of militarism and kaiserism."

PERSHING'S MEN CAPTURE
 5000 ON VERDUN SECTOR

With The American Army on The Sedan Front, Nov. (By The Asso- ciated Press. )-(7:20 P. Mo7Gener- al Pershng's forces continue to take their toll of prisoners in the wake of the retreating Germans. The number captured early today was we'll above 5000. <.
 The American intelligence officers have learned that the confusion in the enemy army is increasing almost hourly. Apparently the liaison be- tween the various units has been bad. l-- broken. As confirming this, one of the prisoners taken by the Amerl- cans proved to be runner who had been sent forward from one of the headquarters twenty miles behind the line to discover what was the reason for the confusion at the front and the failure of the men to hold. It is learned that high officers of the German staff held meeting last night. which was attended by many of the field officers, to discuss the sit uation, the seriousness of which was undisputed. ., Where the Germans Will De aD!e to bring their retreat to halt IS entidely speculative, although it is not improbable that they will be able to do so within another day or two un.
 less the situation gets altogether out of hand. Although the army at the front shows extraordinary delnorail- zation, it still is functioning With enough discipline to indicate the pos
 sibility of ts steadyng down.
 Meanwhile however, the Americans are pressing their advantage with
 dash and vim.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN WO-
MANS COMMITTEE.

Let us discuss the Liberty Bond
issue this week, from religious
point Of view. Every man is born
with a natural sense of justice.
This has been violated by Ger
many. That is why persons of all
religions, all creeds, must COM
bine to resent this outrage upon
our common humanity. The depth
of persons religious convictions
may be gagged from the extent to
which he supports the Liberty
Loan-never. Forgetting Of course.
that the widows mite" is as
good as the rich mans millions.
The Kaiser, and his followers,
have by word, and deed declared
the Sermon on the Mount to be
collection of absurdities.
Born Of a race with high ideals,
a passionate love of freedom, and
a knowledge Of the horrors of OPP
preston, the Liberty Loan appeals
to every instinct of the Hebrew.
The Founder Of Christianity il
to Prussian eyes a mental weak
ling, whose teachings no sturdy
Prussian could possibly accept.
The man who feels no righteous
anger against Germany today has
something lacking in his mental
makeup. If Christ came to the
world again today which side
would He takeY
Hypocrisy is the most contemp-
tible of sins. The Kaiser calls !
upon the name of God while per-
petrating the foufest crimes.
Faith without works is dead
This is the time when men must
call up some Of that spirit which
animated the Kings and Prophets
who did not hesitate to take up
the sword to the oppressor and
the wicked. All religion il
founded upon love. Prussianism
is founded upon force.
The Cardinals. the Bishops, the
Rabbis and other leaders of relig-
ious thought all say that it is our
duty to support the Liberty Loan,
to the full extent Of our ability.
Their words should carry weight.
