lierlin, Oct. 31.—The number of It-
alians made prisoner Iby the Austro-
Germans has increased to more than
1'20,000, says the official communita-
tion issued this evening. The com-
munication adds that more than one
thousand guns also have 'been taken.
"During yesterday various engage-
ments took place on the hills of St.
Daniels <ft. l Fruili, along the Ledra
canal at Pasian Schiavonesco and at
Pozzuolo del Fruili.
"The brave behavior of our covering
units and cava lit/ has permitted the
ether troops to continue the movement
towards positiohs on new line."

A race is on between six Italian

bank tin Austrian* over 100 years ago
made their last stand in Naipob oil's It-
tlian campaign. This time the Italians
mean to make their stand on the west
bank against the combined milium
forces of their former allies.
Meanwhile a game of sup^rstrategy
is being played. iCadorna is stakiug

Hideniburg-LudenJorff-Macksen. trio.
Down from the Carnic Alps a great
Teuton army has swept into Dhe north-
ern flat lands of Ven tia. In its head-
Jong southwestern dash lurks a menace
even graver than that borne 'by the
whirlwind Teuton advance from till
isonzo.
For this army from the Carnic Alps
is th Teutons' "favorite" in the race,
it is heading for the undefended north-
ern course of the Tagllamento in an e'"

and take the Italians in the rear, either
b fore or after they have c rossed from
the eastern shore. At the same time
this army is trying to outflank the It-
alians now in the Dolomites and bring
about the shake-up of the whole Tren-
tino front.
| Italian \riny in Danger.
j The Teutonic center which took
Gtorizia early SEunday unorning, has
captured and' passed I'dine, heretofore
Gonizla early Saturday morning, has
vital stratajgic real road intersection.
Straight westward from Udine to the
Tagliainwito is only fourteen miles.
Italy's Carso army is in the gravest
danger of being cut off by this Teuton
center. From today's official Berlin
bullentin it appears tiiat a considerable
part of this arqr. is not yet beyond the
Isonzo, while 5he TVutons are at least
fifteen miles to the west of that river.
The second Italy Army, which crack-
ed unci - r the brunt of the initial Teu-
ton .oi«v, is in similar plight.
"^he retirement of the defeated Ital-
ian Army," says Berlin, "is being
stemmed at the few crossings of the
rive r, which is greatly swollen-"
The Italians are making heroic ef-
forts to impede tihe Teuton pursuit.
Rome says official they are succeed-
ing in this.
Italians Sillier Terribly.
"The successful action of our cover-
ing units," says the Italian War Office
statement, "has dietined the advance
of the enemy.
"Our cavalry is in contact with the
hostile 'vanguards."
Stiriies of terrible suffering anionk
the Italians in their retreat are told in
dispatches from the front, stories
which generally accentuate the alcnost
superhuman gallantry with which Ca-
dorna's men Hung themselves into the
T uton cyclone. llunser, the insep-

torrential dowupours of rain and utter
lack of adequate artillery defense were
in conspiracy against them. Yet these
men, most of them fathers of families,

thing but occasional long rangi bom-
bardments, fought every inch of the
way with death-defying valor.

dispatch that all the British batteries
were saved.

He was struck in the leg by a shell

was taken to the field hospital, where
it was said his wound was not ser-

CITY T \ kKN IN FOOD I'LEDGK
Pupils of the ( it) Schools Swept the
City in a Half-day's Drive.
The House Wives Food Conserva-
tion Pledge drive was made by the city
school children in a half a day. The
pupils of agricultural and economic
departments of the High School, those
of the Eighth Grade, Central School
and the Seventh and Sixth grades of
the other school did the work. There
were 100 from the Central School and
about 125 each from the others who
went out Thursday morning and visit-
eed every house in the city. In the
afternoon they went out and sought
out the houses where they did not
find the wives at home in the fore-
noon.
The drive met with great success.
There were very few who refused to
sign the pledge. There were, however,
some queer questions asked. One wo-
man said she would have to ask her
husband before she would sign. An-
other said she didn't like to sign any-
thing because she didn't know what
the government would do under that
signature.
The High School pupils took the
business sections and (he others the
residence. The parade did not take
place because there were not enough
automobiles assembled to get the chil-
dren out.
Great credit is due the children and
teachers of the city schools.

Court tor the Western Oklahoma Dis-
trict today foi the first time in the
case of C. 'B. Shaffer, wealthy oil man
of Chicago, vs. E. B. Howard, State
Auditor, w'lio is seleing to collect $70,-
000 income taxes from Shaffer. The
case was heard fay. Judges .7. H. Cot-
teral and R. K. Campbell of the eWst-
ern and Eastern Districts of Oklahoma
and Judge Kiimlbrough Ston of the
Eighth Circuit of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Shaffer was represented by M. E.
Rosser of Muskogee and claimed that
the incoune tax law discriminates be-
tween the nonre8i'dlent and the resi-
dent. It is also contended Chat income
is intangible and its "location" impos-
sible of definition.
After hearing arguments of attorn-
eys on both sides, the court gave each
side five days, in which to brief the
case and produce authorities that had
ben cited during the argument.

of the time since.
The German expressed the greatest
surprise that he had been taken pris-
oner by Americans. He said he had
heard there were a few American sol-
diers in France, hut didn't dream they
were on the fighting line. The offi-
cers, he said, never imparted such in-
formation to the men.
Asked about conditions in the inter-
ior of Germany, the prisoner smiled
wanly and said he was sorry, but he
didn't know.
"it has been nine months since I
heard from m> folks at home," he told
the Americans.
He added that the military authori-
ties had cut off all communication be-
tween the men in the trenches and the
"folks back home."
The German was acting as a mart
carrier when he was captured. He
said he had started for some distant
trenches. He was unfamiliar with
the trench system in that sector and
found himself out in No .Man's Uind.
The Americans who were on a
scouting expedition in front of their
own barbed wire defenses, suddenly
loomed up ahead. They spotted the
German at the same moment he saw

Most people insdst upon confusing it
with the Y. ,M. C. A., Red Cross etc.
In a campaign here last week, we
raised our quota of $-50,000 and helped
Kansas City, Kansas, raise theirs of
$10,000. About forty other cities near-

November 5th has been set aside as
campaign week in all cities that have
not yet met their obligation.
Your local commercial bod y has been
asked lo conduct a campaign for $l.-
