14 5 A
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—From
the Asiago to the Piave the Austro-
Germans have suffered appalling
losses without gaining any advan
tage, according to an official cable
gram from Rome today. Between
the Piave and the Brenfa the enemy
has already worn out six divisions,
these disptaches {o the Embassy say.
«The cablegram quotes The Rome
Tribuna’s correspondent as saying
the forces of Krobatin and Von Bue
low united in the mountainous zone
between the Piave and Brenta Riv
ers, made a desperate effort to break
, throuzh the line, availing themsclves
of their enormous reserves, estimated
at twenty divisions and easi'y shift
ed. With large forceg hidden in th.
; thickness of the forests, at one pointt
' & small patrol of Prussians with ma
chine guns was sent forward to gath
er information and prepare the at
tack. Shortly after the Austro-Gers
mans appeared -in thick waves and
delivered a furious assault.
Wishing to avenge the wounding
of one of their officers ,the Italians
Jaunched a bayonet attack with such
violence that all the Austro-Germans
w!lio reached the Italian line were
completely wiped out. 'The enemy
renewed his efforts and de'ivered at
tock after attack with unabated fury
In the confusion of the struggle
some enemy outposts fought among
themsclves the Thirty-first Land
sturm, in action near Monte Frior,
fighting an entire night against other
Austro-German troops, which were
' totally decimated.
Seasoned Veterans

(By International News Service.)
ROME. Nov. 27.—Seasoned French
and Brtich veterans, who have faced
German drum fire, poisoned gas and
liquid fire on the we:srn front, are
now joining the Ital.ans in counte:
attacks against the Austro-German
fnvaders on the Asiago plateau.
Advices from the front today told
of the arrival of “fresh refnforce
ments."”
The form'dable Austro-German at
tacks betw.en the Piave and Brenta
vallcys have continued with the Teu.
tons maneuvering to deliver a crown
"lng blow but so far the gallant re
pistance of the Itallans has frus
trated all German plans.
General Diaz's troops are striking
back all along the line and are deliv
ering strokes just as violent as those
of the Austro-Germans.
There is heavy fighting around
Monte Tomba, which is regarded as
a eritical point. The Germans, early
in their drive, made a slight galn, but
gince then they have been held on the
slopes by the Italians.
If the Germans and Austro-Hun
garians can break through at Monte
Tomba and overrun the plain it would
\ geriously threaten the Italian line on
the Pave by cutting the Italian lines
of communicat’on.
Bulgarian troops are reported to
have r-inforced the Austro-German
armies on the upper Pave and in the
Monte P.rtica'’s sector.

tement said.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The
work of the American naval flotilla
in European waters aagin has been
warmly commended by Vice Admiral
Bailey, the British official in charge
of the general submarine operations
of the British fleet. Information
reaching here today states that the
British Vice Admiral‘has sent to Ad
miral Benson, now in Paris, attend
ing the interalli"d conference there,
a lengthy communicatiom reciting
notable work by various units of the
American squadron and praising by
name Vice Admiral Sims and several
subordinates.
The American destroyers, in addi
tion to their general work of gscert
!ing transports and merchant vessels
through the submarine zone are tak
jlng over certain sections of the
French and British coast ag their
own, and are operating there with
seaplanes and new types of subma
rine catchers.
1’ The American-British-French an
ti-submarine squadrons now are car
rying the war directly to the sub
marine, They have adopted new
plans, which officials here said today
are most effective.
- As a result, the German U-boats
no longer find an open lane to the
Atlantic, and several of them have
recently been driven into shallow
waters and destroyed. The German
yards are reported to be again work
ing night and day turning out sub
marines of thé biggest type, pre
sumably for a general raid in mid
ocean and possibly on the Atlantic
coast of the United States in the
spring.
Democratic Leaders
To Frown on Fusion
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Fusion tickets in
the eight Middle Western States where
Senators are to be elected in 1918 will
be frowned on by Democratic leaders
except in States where the question of
the war attitude of candidates is a
sharply defined issue.
This was dit-'min°d upon at a con
ference here of Democratic national
committeemen and State chairmen from
twelve States of the upper Mississippl
Valley region. The leaders met here to
discuss plans for the forthcoming sena
torial elections.
In Wisconsin where the antiwar at
titude of Senator laFollette is certain
to be.a factor in the election. the Dem
ocratic leaders felt a rusion campaign
may be necessary. The senatorial sit
vation {n Wisconsin arising out of the
death of Senator Husting also was dis
cussed The State party men were
given to understand that a nonpartisan
and prowar campaign aimed particu
larly at Senator LaFollette or any can
didate he may sponsor is favored at
Washington.

and build for the future.
The healthy growth of Atlanta as the city of homes, is due
to this ownership of 'and by Atlanta citizens. By the same
token, it makes Atlanta a good p.ace in which to own prop

abandoned the th-ory that Mrs. H.
W. Finch and her two-year-old
daughter, missing from their home at
No. 67 North Howard street, Kirk
wood, had been drowned. The search
was taken up in Atlanta.
A hat and two coats found on the
river bank near Bolton Monday were
identificd as those of the mother and
baby. The conclusion was drawn
that Mrs. Finch, whose health had
been poor for some, had sought the
death of herself and her baby. At
once the dragging of the river be
gan.
Early Thursday, however, Captain
Cheshire, of the' County Police, di
recting the search, was given evi
dence that Mrs. Finch probably had
returned to Atlanta after placing the
garments on the river bank. The in
formation came from a resident of
Cobb County, a fruit tree agent, who
said that late Saturday afternoon, as
he stood at the end of the River car
line, a woman carrying a baby ap
proached “him and asked the best
way to get to Atlanta. Both were
bareheaded, he said.
The Cobb County man told Captain
Chrghire he instructed the woman to!
walk down the car line to Fisher |
avenue, which is the 5-cent fare lim
it, and there to board a car bound for
the city. She left him going in that
direction, he declared.
Another indication that the mother
and baby were not drowned was'
found in the lack of any signs ofl
their bodies In the river, although an |
exhaustive search was made for a!
mile or two up and down the river |
from the bridge at Bolton. The wa- |
ter was extremely low, because the!
dam at Bull Sluice, above Bolton, is|
closed every night, and the bed ofg
the stream is visible in most places.
Mrs. Finch is the wife of an ad-l
juster of commercial accounts, who
is connected with the law offices o(]
Councilman W, 8. Dillon, |
Mrs. Finch was said to have bern
in ill heal'h of lote, and her husband
an adjuster of commercial accoun's,
w 0 is connected with the law oFices !
of Zouncilman W. S. Dillon, feared
she nad taken her own life and that
f the baby girl.
Mr. Fincn discovered the disappear
ance of his wife and baby Saturday
night on his return from a tfip out
of the city. No note or other clew
had be n left, the first intimation as
to the possible wherecabouts of moth
er and babec being the reported find
ing of the coats and hat. :
These articles were identificd |
through a purchase ticket of a down- |
town department store, which wasl
found, in the pocket of Mrs. Finch’s
coat.” I
Mrs. Finch has two other girls, aged
5 and 7, who were left at home when
she went away with the baby.

Four United States soldiers, possi

methods of escaping prisoners in the
event that Huns get them, “dug out”
of the police barracks early Tuesday
morning—tunneled thelr way through
a thick but very fragile brick wall,
and escaped.

is again the goat. ‘
Tom is out of luck, it appears. Slx
days ago R. C. Jester, an uuto thlet,\
escaped by the same method. It did
not appear to have been Tom's tanlt.‘
If you can't trust a brick wall, what
can you trust? is the way Tom looks
at it. |
But Jester escaped and Tom was
suspended for five days. Tom got
back on the jcb at midnight between
Monday ana Tuesday. It was just
in time tor him to be another goat;
for at 3 o'clock it was discovered that
the four soldiers had tunneled
through the brick wall In another
place and made their way out of what
is called the “city corridor,” whero
the prisoncrs not held on State
charges are lock:d up.

And now Tom is suspended again,
because of course somebody has to be
punished when things go wrong, and
they can't find the brick masons who
put sour mortar in that wa'l some
gcnerat'ons ago, so the bricks would
all loosen up like a Marcel wave in
the surf and come apart with a little

The soldiers are is follows: ‘

J. H. Corder and Walter Fowler,

The four men were locked in one
big cell in the city corridor, guarded
on one side by steel bars and on the
oth~r (presum~blv) by the brick wall
at the end of the corridor. About'
