We once had a very. very good
friend who happened to get a bit
overloaded with joy water and in an
ugly mood took exceptions to some
thing we said. He showed some
fight and demanded an apology. l
told him that we were more than will
ing to comply with his request and
that il we had said any thing for
which we were sorry we were ex-
tremely glad of it. The tipsy friend
looked very hard at us and
as he slowly sfasped our ex-
tended right hand, he said, 81 don't
list zactly understand the 'pology, but
guess its alright and here goes" y
So when we are absolutely conscious
of the fact that we are right in what
we say in these columns in matters
effecting the public good even II it
happens to wound the feelings Of
some friend, we can repeat the above
mentioned apology with emphasis
If we have said any thing we are
sorry for we are rather proud OF it.

NO QUORUM RULE
GAGS REPUBLICANS
Critics of President i'm Senate Unable
To Give Voice to Campaign
Material.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Senate demo-
Gratis upset republican plans for bring
ing up questions of peace and politics
today by raising the point of no
quorum and forcing adjournment un-
til tomorrow. This program had been
agreed upon by the democratic steer
ing committee to be followed daily un-
til after the elections unless the repub-
licans in the meantime consent to the
recess over the elections, which they
have blocked so far. Twenty one dem
ocrats voted for adjournment and IL
republicans against it.
Senator Brandegee Of Connecticut
republican, insisted upon a roll call,
saying he desired to place the demo-
Gratis on record as opposing a discus
sion of the presidents recent political
letter and the peace notes.
The democratic leaders argued that
senate sessions without a quorum in
town would only interfere with the
finance committees work on the war
revenue bill. ....
The house, awaiting action by the
senate, interrupted it's recess program
by adjourning until tomorrow.

10 AUSTRIAN
DIVISIONS IN
ALLIED TRAP

Washington, Oct. 31.-Fifteen Aus
trian divisions operating between the
Brenta and the Piave on the Italian
front have had their retreat cut off
through the capture of the mountain
pass of Vadal by Italian and Allied
troops.
official wireless dispatches from
Rome today say the advantage is be-
ing pressed to the utmost and that a
crisis is near. Enemy losses are de-
sribed as appalling.
Occupation of the valley of Quero
by the italian army corps operating
north Of Valdobbiadene threatens
Feltre and exposes the Austrians in
the Grappa region to a fianking move
ment, which it is said will compel
Immediate retirement.
The Third Italian army on the low
er Piave is reported advancing stead
lily in the face of desperate enemy re-
sistance.
In all, more than 1000 square l1ilo-
metres of Italian territory was re-
conquered yesterday and apparently
the whole front is being driven north
ward.
The dispatches fatty deny the Aus
trian claim that territory across the
Piave is being evacuated voluntarily.

Allies Win Monte Cison.

Italian Headquarters on the Piave,
Oct. 80, (By the Associated Press)- -
Allied troops have taken Monte Olson,
thereby opening the roads to Feltre
and Vittorio.
Both these cities were Austrian
bases The capture of Monte Cison
also divides the Austrian army, fore
ing the troops to the north to follow
a long, slow line of retreat through
the mountains of Trentino. The gen.
eral line of retreat where the largest
number of troops could be moved,
would be along the roads and rail-
ways toward Belluno and over the
plains toward Udine.
Venice now is safe since the Third
army has driven back the Austrians
in the lower plain. Italian cavalry Is
advancing rapidly at many points.
The number of prisoners is growing
hourly and possibly may total 10000.
Opposite the Tenth army, in which
American troops are brigaded, it is
estimated that four and onehalf Aus
trian divisions have been partially de-
Stroyed.
The bird army under command of
the Duke of Aosta, has succeeded in
establishing bridgeheads across the
lower PiaVe at Romanziol, Salgareda
and San Dona di Piave, under violent
Austrian artillery fire.

Lieutenant jackson was formerly
connected with the New Britain Hec-
aid as manager of the circulation de-
partment and correspondent in Plain
Vile He attended the first officers
training camp at Plattsburg and was
commissioned a first lieutenant on
. being graduated He was assigned to
Camp Dix, New Jersey, and later TO
Camp Gordon, Georgia. AS an officer,
he won high praise from his superiors
and earned the respect of the men un-
der him He was such a favorite with
his command at Camp Gordon that,
on leaving, he was presented with a
number of valuable tokens gifts from
the men and other officers at the
- camp. He was considered especially
efficient as a drill master, and many
men now fighting for Uncle Sam can
credit him with teaching Ih en- the fine
points of soldering.
Wearing the khaki several thousand
miles from the firing line did not ap-
peal to Lieutenant Jackson and he ap-
piled several times for active service
overseas While at Camp Gordon he
was promised that he would be sent
over last summer, and the latter part
of July he came home on short leave
of absence, reporting at an Atlantic
port and going to France.
Almost from the day he landed he
has seen service on the firing line.
Soon after reaching Paris he was di-
rected to report to divisional head
Quarters several miles away. AS q

find his way. On reaching regim entail
headquarters he was instructed TO re-
port to his company, Company E, of
the L. S. infantry. After many
experiences climbing over shell holes
and through barbed wire entangIe-
ments, he reached his company, which
was in the thick of the fighting. 1t
was his first experience under actual
fire, and his description written to
local friends, was vivid and intensely
interesting. Bombs were crashing all
about him and big shells were rocking
the earth even as he wrote. After the
heustomary service in the front line, no
was moved back to the reserve
trenches and later to rest camp.
