open. 1t is terrible to contemplate
the cry I'VE ask and give no quarter"
but who will say that in view of the
terrible things that have been done by
the Hun that the phrase does not ring
with a lot of satisfaction and a sort
of a comfortable sound. And after
we hurl it into their teeth let our boys
demonstrate it once or twice and the
battle line will be even nearer Berlin.
A just God will grant us quarter
while he sees that the accursed enemy
gets none. so let's get on to the Rhine
at once and clean this thing up for
good and all.

AMERICANS ON VERGE OF
ACTION ITALIAN FRONT
SIGNIFICANT NEWS FROM
THIRD BATTLE AREA.
Washington Officials Say Drive
Is Definite Part Of Great
Offensive.

Washington, Oct. 30. - American
troops are on the verge of active par
ticipation in the great war on the third
major front. This was the interpreta-
ton given here today Of news from
Italian headquarters that Americans
are standing in reserve behind the
British and Italian forces now driving
across the Piave.
The news is considered significant
not because of the size of the Amer
lean contingent in Italy or the direct
effect it may have on the battle, but
because it indicates that the italian
drive is a definite part of the great
offensive rapidly bringing complete de-
feat to the central powers. 1t has
added meaning to officials here also
since Austria is pleading for an i'm
mediate armistice.
So far as official announcements
show, there are only two regiments Of
infantry and necessary auxiliary troops
in the American force in Italy. These
