REPORT OF SPY WORK
LEAKING THROUGH
New Photograph of Russian Women Soldiers
VANCOUVER, WASH, Oct M.
Through the barrier of strict military
regulations that amount to practically
a censorship there Is leaking, with in
creasing persistence, information that
alt Is not well at the United States
military barracks at Vancouver that
the enemy may be a work with poison
and knife, and that he has already
accomplished more or less material
damage.
Moreover, to stem the tide ot vague
and exaggerated rumors that looms
ahead, army officers at the barracks
are admitting that there is "some
truth" in some ot the stories afloat
Commenting on these widely circu
lated reports, carrying widely vary
ing versions, concerning depredations
at the barracks, closely resembling
the work ot spies, Colonel W. K. Jones
commanding officer, at his headquar
ters this morning, admitted that there
had been reason for suspicions, but
said that tor the most part the re
ports are incorrect and exaggerated.
It waa rumored a spy, supposed to
be a civilian, had been shot and killed
by a sentry while attempting to enter
the bakery, that the bread and water
had been poisoned, and that several
horses and mules had been gouged in
the hips so badly that they had to be
shot
Another report said that 1500 loaves
ot bread had been found poisoned with
strychnine and that tuberculosis
germs had been found in the water.
Other reports said that two or three
soldiers and one officer were involved
in the plots.
It was also said that a soldier's hat
and hatcord were fount near the bak
posed to have occurred Tuesday
last week.

entered the danger zone, a lookout
sighted a submarine on the port bow,
but before he had time to report its
presence the submarine fired a shot
which missed the stern ot the ship
by but a few yards. The captain im

submarine was such that escape was
nearly impossible.
The gun crew ot the submarine
and the steamer then began to ex

the steamer opened fire at a range
of 9000 yards, but all the shots fell
short The submarine kept maneu

the steamer's guns, at the same time
maintaining a running fire in an ef

ship, after altering her course,
started at full speed in an attempt

ROME. Oct. 30. The Italian retreat
continued yesterday, the war office
announces. The Italian cavalry ta In
contact with the vanguards of the ad
vancing enemy.
The Italians destroyed bridges
over the Isonxo and fought rear
guard actions, by which means they
checked the Autro German advance.
Italian resistance to the Anstro
German onslaught along the Isonxo
apparently la, stiffening as General
Cadorna prepares to reform his
forcoa along the strong defensive line
of the Tagllnmento river. The entire
Isonxo line has been turned and the
Carso plateau has been given up to
the victorious Teuton soldiery, who
are now before Udlne, the former
Italian general headquarter.
Despite the crushing blow suffered
by the Italian forcea on the North
ern Isonxo and the consequent re
tirement all along the river, Oeneral
Cadorna has the Tagllamento line
from which to boat back the invaders
from the Venetian plains.
Berlin docs not report any great
additional number ot prisoners, and
this, coupled with Cadorna's official
statement that his troop are check
ing the Austro-German. may mean
hat the force of the first blow has
been spent
Teuton activity Is reported in the
region of Ploecken psss. In the Car
nlo Alps, north of Tolmlxxo, where
the Tagllamento turns westward, A
strong advance here might make the
Tagllamento line untenable, as also
would any Austro-Oerman effort in
force southward from the Carnlc
Alps and Dolomite Alps. The Italian
high command must consider to the
possibility of a blow from the Tren
tlno. From Swiss sources, it Is re
ported that the Austro-Swlss frontier
has been closed and that German
reinforcement are being hurrtod to
the Italian front. This may mean
either supports for the Invaders
west of the Isonxo or material for
a new drive from the , mountains
southward brihlnd the Tagllamento.
Meanwhile, there are no reports
of any activity In the Trentino ana
Groat Britain and France nave
taken steps to reinforce the Italians.
What form this help I taking has
not yet been disclosed.
