MUST GO PROMPTLY T0 ITALY'S HELP| “Italy, Stand Firm, for Help Will Surely Come” REALZE THE GRAVITY Gallant Italian Army Has Proved Its Courage and Devotion So Often in War That Unfortunate Episode Leaves No Stain on Honor. London, Oct. 29.—The following ar- ticle is printed conspicuously by the Times today: “There is reason to believe that the critical situation on the Italian front has recelved and is receiving the prompt and sympathetic consider- ation of the French and British gove. ernments. It is understood that the Itallan commander-in-chief already knows that he may rely on the most prompt and fullest support, it may be in the power of the Allies to give.” That Great Britain and France must, go promptly to Italy’s help is the view expressed by several morning newspapers. The Times, which prints a statement implying knowledge that such help is contemplated, says edi- torially: “Our word to the people of Italy is to stand firm for help will surely | come. Italy must not and will not be deprived of the fruits of the ultimate victory for which she has battled so long and so arduously. In the truest sense the Isonzo is our front as much as the Somme and now that it has collapsed we must do our utmost without delay to repair it. There is need for alarm but there 1s the utmost need for promptitude and broadness of vision. While all the newspapers recognize the gravity of Italy’s peril strong con- fldence is expressed in General Ca- dorna and the Italian army with the conviction that they ultimately will emerge victorious. Itallan persever- ance and successes of the past are re- called with warm admiration and the weakness of some links in the de- fensive chain is condoned, America’s Entrance. The entrance of units of the Amer- jcan army into active service on the western Tront, afthough ‘over-shad, owed as a news item by the Austro- German invasion of Italy recelves prominent notice in the newspapers ag a2 much more than plcturesque event. The Daily News says: “It would be idle presumably to ex- | MINISTER IS WHIPPED AFTER KIDNAPPING Head of People’s Church in Cincinnati Is Taken to Woods By Modern Klu Klux Klan. Cincinnati, Oct. 29.—Herbert S. Bigelow, head of the People’s church here and a leading member of the People's council who was kidnapped last evening just before he was to ad- dress a soclallst meeting in Newport, Kentucky, was located early today near Florence, Ky. He had been taken into a woods near there, where, after being stripped, he was thrashed with a black snake whip by a party of men dressed 'n “long white robes resemba ling those described as being worn by the renowned Klu Klux Klan,” accord- ing to a telephone message from a newspaper man at Florence. Previous to twelve lashes being ap- plied to his back, one of the party, the report stated, raised his hand com- manding silence and then read from a paper he held as follows: “In the name of the poor women and children of Belglum this man should be whipped.” After having been whipped Bigelow was turned loose and directed toward Cincinnati,’ He lost his way, how= ever, and wandered in the woods until he found himself in Florence. ‘When Bigelow was released his cap- tors, who had traveled in automobiles warned to him to stay away from Cincinnati. Reaching Florence, which is about 20 miles from this city, Blgelow was taken to the home of Dr. H. K. Grant, where he recelved medical attention and then spent the remainder of the night writing in detail his experiences of the evening. Bigelow was taken into custody by five men as he was entering a hall in Newport, Ky., shortly before 8 o'clock last night, to address a meeting of so- clalists. At the time of his appre- hension handcuffs were put on him and he was hurriedly thrust into .a waiting automobile and spirited away. Recently federal authorities con- ducted a raid on Bigelow's office in Cincinnati, whers documents con- cerning the activities of the local Peo- \ple’s council were seized. Sunday af- ternoon, at his People’s church ser- vices, Bigelow prayed for ‘“‘the repose of the soul of Emperor William and the proud men surrounding him.” GUNMAN BOUND OVER DESPITE WIFE'S PLEA Mrs Fabrizzio Objects to Testifying Against Hus- band Who Shot Her. pect Germany in the intoxication of her Itallan victory to appreciate its full meaning. This does not alter the facts, either iImmediate or prospective. Germany has called in the new : world to redress the balance of the old. The balance will be redressed.” The Daily Express, remarking on American energy says it bodes ill for Germany and gives added certainty that victory, however long delayed, is assured. It warns that this does not justify a relaxation of British ef- forts. The Graphic says: “The descendants of the embattled farmers of Concord have fired a shot, which like that of the Minute Men, will be heard round the world. The advent of the United States has morse than made up for Russia’s temporary weakening. It should have a steady- ing influence in view aof the blow at Italy and should be recalled whenever there is a tendency toward pessimism.” Rome’s Statement. Rome, Sunday, Oct. 28.—The Italian war office has issued an amended ver- sion of the official statement on opera- tions issued early today. As amended the first sentence of the announcement reads: The violence of the attack and the failure to resist on the part of some units forcing our second army allowed the Austro-German forces to break into our left wing on the Jullan front.” This version eliminates the words “which is cowardice retired without fighting or surrendered to the enemy.” OCABINET MEETING Paris, Oc. 29.—Before the meeting of the cabinet last night, to determine upon co-operation of the Allies on the Ttalian front, Premier Painleve con- ferred with General Petain, the com- mander in chief and General Foch, chief of staff of the war ministry, the Petit Parisian says. The war com- mittee met again this morning. TO ASSIST ITALIANS London, Oct. 29.—Steps. already have been taken for rendering the fullest possible assistance to the Italians. STATE CAMPAIGN. McCall, Up For Re-election, to Make But One Speech, ‘Boston, Oct. 29.—The campaign for the state election, over-shadowed since the primaries by the Liberty work, started on fits last week today. Governor McCall, seeking re-election at the head of the republican ticket, will make but one political speech. He will appear at a rally in this city on Saturday night, with Senators Lodge and Weeks. Frederick W. Mansfield, the dempcratic nomince for governor Gov. loan Charged with assault with intent to kill his wife, Giovanni Fabrizzio of 86 Pleasant street was bound over to the December term of the superior court this morning by Judge James T. Meskill. Bonds were fixed at $2,000. The assault took place on the morning of October 16 when Mrs. Florence Fabrizzio was shot five times following a family quarrel in which the husband alleged that his wife had been unfaithful. Attorney Conti .of Hartford appeared for Fabrizzio. Officer Richardson was first called to the stand by the state. He testi- fied that about 8:30 o'clock on the morning of the 16th he was called to the Fabrizzlo home and found Mrs, Fabrizzio on the kitchen floor bleed- ing. The woman told him that her ‘husband had shot her. She was then taken to the hospital. Mrs. Fabrizzio next took the stand and said “I don’t want the case tried and I don’t want to appear against my husband.” When told that she must testify she proceeded as follows: “During the night we quarreled and he called me a lot of names. In the morning he got up and said he did not want to go to work. I told him I wasn't going to live with him and he tried to hit me with a chair but the boarding boss took the chair away from him. He was around smoking for a while and then went out. He came back after a short time with some candy for the children. I then went into the pantry to get some salt to do some cooking with and when I came out into the kitchen he shot me. I fell to the floor and he fired three shots at me while I lay. on the floor. I was shot in the head, mouth, shoul- der and back."” Bhe added that six shots in all were fired but only five of these took effect. Attorney Conti, for the defense, brought out the fact that Mrs. Fah- rizzio went to Rochester some time ago with a man called *“Joe” and lived there with him. Her husband went after her. The attorney for the defense asked that the bonds be fixed as low as possible in order to give the defendant and him a chance to be able to interview several witnesses be- fore the next court session.

WAVE OF ACTIVITY ON ALL THE FRONTS Secretary of War Baker Gives Out His Weekly Resume on War ITALY MAY STEM THE TIDE On the Western Front, Statement Says the Casualties to the Enemy Are Rising, While the Germans Are Fighting Stubbornly. ‘Washington, Oct. 39.—Important | developments are impending in the great war, Secretary Baker indicates in his officlal review of last week's operations on all fronts, which con- cludes with the brief statement that certain units of the American forces in France have taken their places on the battle front to complete thelr training. This is the war departs ment’s first mention of the fact that General Pershing's men are on the firing line. It is the wave of activity during the Wweek on nearly every front, however, that .caught the secretar Bignificant operations are in progress, he says both east and west, on the Itallan fronts, in Macedonia, Ru- manla, Mesopotamia and even in East Africa. On the western front, he sald, a new strategio retreat of the German forces appears to be the next move expected and they must move back under critical circumistances from between two wedges, those of Flanders and the Aisne, which have | been driven relentlessly into their line by British and French.

But once before Italy stemmed the tide of an Austrian rush, under less favorable conditions for the defenders, he points out, and hurled the enemy back_with only a taste of victory during the first deys of his terriffic onslaught, Winter is now coming to the aid of the Italians. The secretary’s review follows: “Renewed activity prevails in all theaters of war. Inrportant develop- ments would appear to be Impending. “Along the western, eastern and Itallan fronts, in Macedonia, Ru- mania, Mesopotamia and in even in East Africa, significant operations are in progress. “The two outstanding features of | the situation of the weck are the re- lentless British offensive in the salient, resulting in substantial of terrain of important str value and the sudden well-aimed and sustalned thrust of the French north of the Aisne. “It is evident that the Allies drives ening in scope and in intensity.

New York, Oct. 29.—Fully 4,600 press feeders and pressmen, according to union estimates struck here today, tying up, it was claimed, virtually all printing establishments in the city. The walkout came as a result of re- fusal by employing printers to grant demands for a flat wago increase of $4 a yeck. Pr¢sent pay is $18 to $22 a week for feeders and $20 to $35 for pressmen. It is sald the employers offered & “war relief” scale of increases rang- ing from 60 cents to $2 a week. One of the lapgest printing concerns in- volved is that which is engaged upon the contraet of printing the ballots for the approaching city election. HIGH POWER MOTOR BEING MADE HERE ’ ST AR B New Britain - Machine Co.

New York, Oct. 29.—The League of Small and Subject Natlonalities, con- sisting of representatives of a score or more persecuted and pillaged provinces and dependencies, opened a congress and to assert their right to a separate representation at interna- tional peace conferences after the war. Interest in the meeting was height- ened by an attack on the object of the league, made last night by a commi of Arabic, Armenian, Greek and Slavic interests, on the ground that it ‘“can serve no purpose but that of the Ger- man government.” The objectors, in an open letter to the press said: ““We make no wholesale accusa- tions against the personnel of the gathering or the speakers at the con- ference. It was, apparently, origin- ally initiated by honest but naive and easily deluded persons, and | prominent Americans have consented | to speak.

Revision and verification of Liberty Loan subscriptions in this city, made today, shows that New Britain invested $8,312,150, proof that this community, the home of representatives of nearly every race under the sun, is a unit in fighting the War Lord of Europe. The maximum for the Liberty Loan alloted to New Britain was $3,135,000. It was not a “rich man's” campaign by any means. The recapitulation shows that 7,310 men and women who /| work in the factorics subscribed more than half a million. The remainder was subscribed by manufacturers and private individuals whose wealth per- mitted them to invest heavily in the bonds.
