But now the famous Bersaglieri bri- gade was hrought up fresh from its heroic rear guard defense of the main army as it retired on the field. Some of the other troops were from nearby towns and they were stirred to the last desperate effort to save their homes. The Fearful Charge. The Italians charged shortly after dawn, their line moving straight up the hill to the cemetery. Against ma- chine gun fire and guns on the bank, the Italians moved with bayonets, grenades and torpedoes. It was_one of those charges inspired by love of home and country which will live al- ways, and it was lirresistible. The enemy wavered and broke just as the Italian artillery on a nearby height got the range of the cemetery. - But the main fighting was hand to hand, with the enemy being pressed back steadily to the river, where they were cut down, drowned or captured. By ten o'clock yesterday all had been swept away except a few straggling groups, but by noon not one of the enemy’s force was left on the western bank. b In addition to some 1,500 killed the enemy lost 1,500 prisoners including two colonels and some thirty other officers. All the Austrian machine guns were captured and are now being used by the Italians. Furious Fighting. The fury of the fighting is shown by the fact.that the old Sega mill on the river’s brink was taken and re- taken six times during the ebb and CITY ITEMS Good Overcoats at Besse-Leland’s, all prices.—advt.

L Extensive plans will be formulated at thte meeting of the ladies’ auxiliary of the Camp Devens Athietic Fund ! committee to be held at 30 o'clock | tomorrow cvening in Mayor Quigley's flow. The mill is full of bullet holes, but shows no evidence of shell fire, indicating that the fighting was en- tire at close quarters. Ttalian stretcher bearers did noble service yesterday afternoon in caring for the great number of Austrian wounded who lay along the shore. Two of these stretcher bearers waded out to the sand bar in mid-streams where severely wounded Austrians had dragged themselVes. They were brought back and cared for by the Italian hospital corps. One of these Austrians wounded seriously in the leg was supported between two Ttalian soldiers on the way to the receiving station. The Italians recovered their dead, some of them at the water's edge. ‘One gunner was found hanging lifeless over his machine gun. This summarized a most desperate fight to preserve the Piave line. Situation at Venice, Venice, Italy, Sunday, Nov. 18 (By the Ass'd Press)—The rumble of guns is heard throughout the city by night and day as the fleet and the Venice coast batteries shell the enemy at the mouth of the Piave. At 3 o'clock yes- terday afternoon an Austrian airplane flew over the city, but it dropped no bombs. The batteries of Venice did not fire; but when the machine flow over the gzrand canal, Talian torpedo boats discharged a score of shots. The city's water supply has not been interrupted, although it is feared the mains coming from the north will be cut. The American wife of a prominent Milan writer named Barelli has had an unusual experience. She was at Venice, while three of her horses and two bloaded hounds were at Mestre, a suburb. The railway refused to take the hor and dogs, owing to the needs of the military. She mounted one horse, took the two others and dogs by leash and rode night and day ta Bologna, 200 miles over roads packed with military traf- fic and refugees. SAILOR BOY TAKES BRIDE.

Miss Margaret | | | | | s | s | WHY CAMPAIGN SHED HAS NOT BEEN USED s Too Much “Red Tape" Causcs Lawyer to Give Up Unique Adver- tising Campaign. Work of dismantling the small building at the southern end of Cen- tral park erected last week for use in the Y. M. C. A.-K. of C. campaign Legan this afternoon. The Ilumber has been returned to the dealer and j @ liberal allowance has been made, so that the net cost of the structure was but little to the campaigner: From the very first, the hut has caused a great deal of trouble. Ori- sinally it was built to aid in the cam- paign and, following simiar customs in New Haven and elsewhere, Lawyer George LeWitt decided such a build- ing would add materially to the ad- Vertsing needed to being the aims of the campaign before the public. It was his intention to have the interior fitted up similar to the Y. M. C. A. huts on the firing line and to have a group of Boy Scouts in attendance to distribute advertising literature and assist in booming the campaign. In the first place, hawever, City En- gineer W. H. lall and Building In- spector A. N. Rutherford descended upon Mr. LeWitt for attempting to build the structure without a permit and in violation of the city ordinance. Eventuaily the permission of the board public works was obtained, but the building inspcctor refused to | issue a permit, although he consented | to wink at the building when Mayor Quigley suggested that it would be all right if it remained standing only during the campaign. Then the work went merrily on and the Boy Scouts began to distribute their literature. Again what Mr. LeWitt calls “civie red tape” interfered in the form of a big i policeman. There is an ordinance prohibiting the distribution of liter- ature in the form of hanabills, eotc., on the city streets and the policeman | decided to enforce it. Rather than | enter into any other “red tape” con- troversies, Lawyer LeWitt closed the structure and did not use it during | the campaign except as a billboard. Thus it appears why the structure was erected, what it was erccted for and why it never was used. AN, of INDICT EA Publisher of The Socialist Sheet, Before Grand Jury.
