There was no confusion save that attendant upon the forming of the lines, and the office of Lieut. Col. Teed was a busy scene up to the last mement. A cablegram was received ‘by Col. Reed from Col. De Lanaier of the Sixty-ninth Regiment of France, in response to one sent to somewhere in France @ couple of weeks ago, when the Sixty-ninth was ordered to make ready to cross the seas, The ceblegram read as follows “French comrades, officers and sol- Giers of the Sixty-ninth, touched by your congratulations, send their heartiest thanks to the officers and soldiers of the Sixty-ninth New York Regiment. They are certain that from the common effort will arise the decisive victory. Lieut. Col.

The boy's comrades made way for her. Just @ little further down a handsome young woman did a similar thing. it was her husband that she was saying goodby to, and his com- rades likewise made way for the handsome and stylishly dressed young wife. In the rank and file of that great old fighting organization were men from all walks of life—high and low— lawyers, engineers, doctors, laborers and artisana of known skill. They were all alike in their khaki and were all accorded the same tearful, sober- ing, cheering and shouting goodby on the first step of their gourney to France, BAND PLAYS “THE GIRL | LEFT! BEHIND ME.” Hundreds of relatives of the depart- ing boys had foregone the melancholy pleasure of watching the city’s leave- taking of the Sixty-ninth and hurried to the boat at the foot of Bast Thirty- fourth Street, There the pathetic scenes along the line of march were repeated with a depth of feeling a hundred fold stronger. As the regiment swung down the the waiting steamer the band played “The Girl I Left Behind Me," and marohed aboard to that thrilling air, Then the catch came into the throat of men as well as | women and the pretty waiting girls, the tear Into the eye and the tugging fut the heart, This was the real good bye to New York, and as the men marched through the lin of the surging {crowd of relatives, women and. girls became hysterioal and tried to fight t through the police patrol But they were firmly, if kindly held Dack, their tears and entreaties all unavailing.

The other boys gave way, keeping step, until relatives dragged away the hysterical women and the “boy” kept marching on--on to the boat, on to the war. It was business, this marching on to the boat, and no time was lost |from the moment that the first man stepped aboard till the last walked Then the lines whistle of the steamer sounded the soldiers’ last farewell, Tho cheors were faint that went up from the end of the slip, except thone from the | i old members of the Sixty-ninth who, under command of former Col, Ed ward Duffy, had escorted the regiment from the armory to its point of em. barkation, It was a weeping, hysterteal erc that followed, with |'s eyes, the parting steamer, but aa the la wot out into the river passing craft awakened the heavens with the sa-| tutes from their whistles and sirens, | bidding Godspeed to the gallant luda of the Bixty-ninth, the first unit of the National Guard to leave for a foreign shore to fight for thelr coun try and their flag HERE I8 PRESENT ROSTER OF| THE SIXTY-NINTH, The roster of the Sixty-ninth, now the One Hundred and Sixty-ftth United States Infantry, is as follows Colonel, Charles Hine; Lieutenant | Colonel, Latham KR.

ROME, Aug. 20.—Italy {e waging a determined offensive against the Aus. trian lines from the Adriatic to the Alps The Itallans in thelr offensive on the Isonzo front, begun yesterday, have cromed the Isonzo River and already have taken 1,600 prisone: it was officially announced by the War Department to-day. Guna and many machine guns have been captured by the Italians and the Austrians have suffered serivus losnes. The infantry battle continue: vigorously, “A battle te proceeding on the Jud Men Alps fron: says the official atement. bi rday morning, after a bombardment of twenty-four hours, during Which our artillery shelled the enemy positions with ever increasing intensity, masses of our infantry commenced the ad- vance toward their objectives. To the north of Anhovo (seven and one- half miles north of Gorisia), aftor having brilliantly overcome technical diMoulties and the resistance of the enemy, numerous pontoons were thrown across the Isonso and our troops passed over to the left bank of the river, “From Plava to the sea, after hav- ing crossed the first line of the enemy, which had been destroyed completely, our troops brought pressure to bear upon him, Resisting strongly and being supported by considerable artil- lery and @ large number of machine guns, the enemy offered desperate re- sistance. Fighting of groat magnitude tf» in progress, The blow 1s probably the hardest the Itallans have yet struck, and early reports tell of initial suc- cesses gained by Gen. Cadorna’s troops: Aveaults were launched on the Carso, Isonso and Julian fronts al- multaneously, the troops working in such concert as to weld the three at- tacks into one gigantic effort, The total length of the battle line on the Carso, Isonte and Julian fronts is about ninety miles.
