BOMBED BY BRITISH
on the line of the Tagllamento, with
the third Italian army nearly com
plete, the War Office announces today.
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS, Oct. 31.
(By the Associated Press.) As the
bulletins of General Cadorna, the commander-in-chief,
indicate, the Italian
troops, perfectly reorganized, are hold
ing back the enemy at a distance of
seven miles west of Udine.
Picked Troops Sacrificed.
The Germans and Austrlans did not
succeed in their plan of pushing beyond
the Isonzo into the Friuli Valley and
enveloping the third Italian army,
which occupied the region of Gorizia
and the Carso. Although they broke
the Italian line from Plezzo to Tolmino,
the resistance offered by picked
Italian, contingents, who gave them
selves for the supreme sacrifice, de
layed the southwestern march of the
enemy until the third army had time
to cross the Middle and Southern
Isonzo in orderly retreat. The main
body of Italian forces is intact, ready
to face the invaders in the counter
offensive, which is being prepared.
Italian cavalry has entered into ac
tion on a large scale for the first
time in the war. The mounted troops
have made brilliant charges.

lODO, Nov. 1. Another anrceaufnl
air raid, carried out by 12 British ma
hine, has been made on German muni
tioDS factories at Kalnerlnuten, Bavaria,
according: to an official communication
Issued tonight.
LODOX, Not. 1. "All clear" sig
nals by Boy Scout busters proved? a new
feature at the end of last nlght'a air
raid. Motor horn and whistle signals
heretofore proved unsatisfactory and
la the adoption of the Paris bugle plan
the boys volunteered.
AMSTERDAM. Nov. 1. Dispatches
received from Plrmasens, Bavaria, re
porting: an entente air raid, say bombs
were dropped on the town and Its en
virons. One person was killed and four
were wounded and some material dam
age was done.
LONDON, Nov. 1. British aviators
made a raid in Belgium yesterday. The
Admiralty reports:
"Naval aircraft bombed the Sparap
pelhoek airdrome yesterday. The tar
gets were partially obscured by clouds,
making the results difficult to observe.
"Many offensive patrols have been
made. One hostile machine was downed
out of control. All ours returned
safely."
Eight persons were killed and 21
others were injured In the German air
raid last night, according to an official
statement issued today by the British
"War Department.
About 20 airplanes, in seven groups,
took part. Three of them penetrated
to the heart of London.
The first group dropped bombs near
the coast. Two more groups were
broken up by a barrage on the south
eastern outskirts of the metropolis. The
fourth group was turned back up the
Thames half way to London.
London Is Reached.
Of the fifth group one or more pene
trated southeastern London. Some of
the sixth group reached the south
eastern part of the city. The seventh
group was dispersed before It reached
the outer defenses of the city.
Lord French's statement on casual
ties says:
"Latest police reports state that the
total casualties caused In last night's
air raid in all districts were: Killed,
8; injured, 21. The material damage
was very slight.
"A , large number of our own ma
chines went up, all of which returned
safely."
A report from Lord French says the
German aviators took advantage of the
clouds to prevent any decisive engage
ments. 4
Raiders Seem Disconcerted.
The heavy barrage put up to protect
the metropolis seemed to disconcert the
raiders, who dropped bombs indiscrim
inately. Several fell upon open spaces,
several fell in the suburbs.
As the Germans crossed the coast in
relays the barrage arose as each relay
appeared. After the experience of for
mer raids, the public now takes to
cover as soon as the warning of an
enemy approach is given, with the re
sult that before the guns set up their
curtain of shrapnel the streets were
deserted except for a few policemen.
Some persons found protection in the
subways or the more strongly built
buildings, but a majority last night
seemed to prefer the safety of their
own homes. When the bugles sounded
"all clear" there was no crowding into
the streets, but advantage was taken
of the let-down in the tense situation
for the populace to make up for lost
sleep.

Prisoners Taken Said to Number
More Than 180,000.
BERLIN, Nov. l. The Austro-German
forces Invading: Italy have In
creased the number of prisoners taken
to more than 180,000. They have cap
tured 1500 Italian guns.
The Teuton Fourteenth Army yester
day gained another great victory. Por
tions of the Italian retreating forces
made a stand at the Tagllamento River.
The bridgehead positions at Dlgnano
and Codroipo were captured by the
Germans.
The Austro-Germans penetrated the
rearguard positions of the Italians to
the east of the Lower Tagllamento,
where they cut off and captured 60,000
Italians.
Following is the official statement
of the German War Office:
"The fact that our operations against
Italy have been so successful may be
attributed to our rapid blows in the
east and to the endurance of our troops
on all fronts., notably In the west.
Yesterday the allied troops of the
Fourteenth army gained a further
great victory. Portions of the enemy
army made a stand at the Tagliamento.
In the mountains and in the Frlull
plain to the Udlne-Codrolpo-Treviso
railway the enemy retired to the west
ern bank of the river. Bridgehead po
sitions on the eastern bank were held
by him near Finzano, Dignano and
Codroipo. He offered violent resistance
at rearguard- positions, projecting
thence toward Udine via Bertilo. Poz
zuolo and Lavariano, to cover the re
tirement of this third army to the
western bank of the Tagllamento.
"The bridgehead positions of Digna
no and Codroipo were taken by storm.
Brandenburg and Slleslan divisions
penetrated the rearguard positions of
the Italians east of Lower Taglla
mento and drove back the enemy, while
an Austrian corps pressed forward
from the Isonzo against the last of the
crossings held by the enemy near
Latisana-
"Cut off by our thrust from the
north and outflanked on both sides,
more than 60,000 Italians laid down
their arms. Several hundred guns fell
into the hands of the victors. The
number of prisoners captured during
the week of the 12th Isonzo battle is
consequently increased to more than
180,000 and the total of guns taken
is increased to more than 1500. The
other booty captured Is proportionate."
The statement adds that there were
no important developments on the
other fronts.
BRITISH GO'S ARE SAVED
Description of Destruction oC Ital
ian Stores Permitted.
LONDON, Nov. 1. All the British
guns with the Italian army were saved,
according to a British correspondent at
Italian headquarters, who says that the
spirits of the British gunners are good.
Lack of transport, ' which could not be
allotted to them, was their whole trou
ble. One gun was so near to having to
be abandoned that the breech mechan
ism was destroyed. However the gun
was saved eventually.
The correspondent, who accompanied
the retreat of the Third Italian Army
from the Carso, says the troops were
cheerful and good-tempered and it was
evident that firmness of command could
reorganize them into a fighting force.
The right wing of the Second Army
also fell back regularly from Sabotlno
and Gorizia, Troops on the left of the
Second Army also were retiring steadily
from their mountain positions so as to
get into line with the left of the new
defensive front.
The Italian General Staff permits
sending a description of destruction of
Italian stores. The correspondent says:
"The sky was constantly springing
into a livid flare like an instantaneous
sunset, followed by a deep grumbling
roar. Black clouds of smoke were out
lined against the glowing heavens.
Ammunition depots were being blown
up, stores were being burned and
bridges destroyed. The glare of ex
plosives gave light of ghastly bril
liance over the throngs of the retreat
ing army.
"A rain storm broke and lasted for
three hours, often with extreme vio
lence. It added to the hardships of the
retreat, already severe enough, and
must have meant death to many of
those wounded while covering the re
treat. But it delayed the enemy's ad
vance by swelling the rivers, softening
the ground to mud and making air
reconnaissance and bombing raids on
congested roads and railways impos
sible. Such are the outlines of the
story, of which fuller details are not
permitted.
"The situation undoubtedly is grave,
but the silence which the interests of
the army now Impose must not be con
strued as an indication that things are
worse than they actually are. The blow
has been severe, but it will not crush
Italy."
SITUATION CONSIDERED GRAVE
England, Times Correspondent Says,
Will Send Troops to Italy.
LONDON, Nov. 1. The military cor
respondent of the Times says of the
Italian operations:
"The fact that General von Below
with an inconsiderable force of German
troops has burst through the Julian
front and that Austrian columns have
found other badly defended points in
the Carnic Alps is certainly very un
fortunate, and we have no need to
minimize the gravity of the situation.
Italy's Eastern frontier temporarily is
lost.
The correspondent says that although
the season approaches for the opera
tions in France and Flanders to die
down, there is nothing to prevent
fighting on the Italian plains through
out the Winter. This is advantageous
to the side with the greatest resources.
He adds:
"The Germans beckon us to the
Italian front, and with a hearty good
will we shall oblige them."

CORK, Ireland, Oct. 16. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) The
Sinn Fein Is keeping $2500 a week from
the hands of the Cork merchants. That
amount was spent each week for four
months by American naval officers and
sailors. It ceased when the Sinn Feiners
began to attack American bluejackets
and it will not be resumed until the
streets of Cork are again made safe
for the Americans. At present no naval
man below the rank of a destroyer
commander 'may visit Cork without
laying himself open to a general court
martial. The same rule applies to the
British naval forces.
Indignant over revenue loss, trades
men urged Mayor Butterfield to seek
to have the ban lifted. The Mayor Is
powerless in the face of the decision
of the American and British naval au
thorities not to allow their men to visit
Cork. They are absolutely certain that
trouble will not follow.
Appealing for the return of the
American sailors. Miss Marie Lynch,
head of the "Poor League Guardians,"
said :
"Many wild stories, unproved by any
specific facts, were spread regarding
the conduct of some American sailors.
Upon Investigation there I found there
was not the slightest proof. I am quite
aware that many good people were led
by specious arguments to believe these
wicked tales against the sailors, and

Navy, composition and organization, is

and constant supervision is exercised
over every man by the officers In
charge.
American Friendship Valued.
"I feel sure when some of our city
fathers conclude their Investigations
that they may be led to assume that
some mischievous people, for ulterior
motives, have sought to cause a breach
In the friendship between America and
Ireland. May I hope the good sense
and intelligence of our people will de
feat such object and that we shall en
deavor to make an 'amende honorable'
to our American kinsmen and continue
to extend to them he 'cead mile failthe'
which America has so justly earned at
our hands."
The Cork County Eagle, In an edito
rial account of the anti-American dem
onstrations which preceded the Ameri
can decision to put Cork out of bounds,
says:
"Many strange things have happened
in the city of Cork from time to time,
though none more discreditable than
the wanton, blackguard attack made
there o The sailors of the United States
Navy on Monday night. To cries of
of the city, bearing a Sinn Fein flag
In front, not only hissed and jeered
American sailors whom they chanced
to meet, but displayed their hostility In
a more decided fashion by stoning some
unfortunate young men who had taken
shelter from the rowdyism and whose
only offense was that they wore the
uniform of the American Navy.
. Rowdyism Is Deplored.
"What political wisdom could bring
even the most brainless, thoughtless
youth of Cork to insult the representa
tives of the great people whose land
has made welcome the oppressed from
every clime, but in a particular and
special manner the exiles of Erin?
Try to picture what America will think
of the people who, not content with
their cries of 'up the Huns,' must em
phasize that action by hunting, as If
they were wild beasts, through the
streets of their city the men who are
facing the deadly perils of the Atlantic
that these wanton scoundrels who at
tacked them on Monday night might
have American flour to keep them from
starvation?
"The Cork republicans salute the
greatest of the world's republics with
paving stones. Let us at least take this
poor consolation to heart we can nev
er go lower than this exhibition of
Monday evening."
WOMAN SLAYER ACQUITTED
Jury Out Only-12 Minutes in Case
of Mrs. Kalzacortas at Caldwell.
CALDWELL. Idaho, Nov. 1. (Spe

the jury In the District Court yester

tions with an American woman. This
and the husband's demand that his wife

hours on penalty of death formed the
basis for the defendant's plea of self
