New Forces Thrown Against
' Cado'rna Offensive Rounded
' J Up and Taken Along the
I Gorizia Front.
; Cdine,- -lu!y, Sept.,. J. Notwith
standing bad weather conditions,
fighting still continues all along the
Italian-Austrian line and consists for
the most part in isolated hand-to-hand
"encounters --.between amall' detach
merits of Italian and Austrian soldiers,
the 'latter 'imprisoned by Italian artil
lery fira in galleries, the mouths of
which have been closed by shell fire.
Austrian defenders remain in these
- galleries several days without food or
munitions.
- The attacking forces are. etraighten
inar out the new line bv cutting out
salients still held by small groups o
, . iistrians, who are unable either to
advance or retreat and are obliged to
surrender.. 'Counter offensives by the
Austrian!, in which they are sup
yported by reinforcements, are being
continually repulsed and outlying por
tions of lost positions, remain in Ital
ian hands.
' Fresh Troops Taken.
The prisoners taken during the last
fpur, or five days are for the most
part fresh troops In excellent physical
condition and well (quipped, showing
the immense effort the enemy is mak
ing to save the situation. Notwith
standing that the Italians had not lost
a yard of the gained ground, serious
attacks on a comparatively large
scale north of Monte San Gabrielc
and east of Gorim have been repulsed
with heavy, losses to the enemy and
bow that the Austrisns appreciate
the importance of this position, which
gives access -to the whole plain of
.Gorizia., v T- .
; The enemy, atiu .maintain tire on
Monte, Santo, although he has n'o
hopes of conquering it. Along with
these individual combats continues
the-artillery duel with the Borovich
army,, possessing .more thn 4,00Q
cannon ef U calibers. J The Austrian!
have transformed the ' fsvoritO play-
gouftd, in. the ?anovia woods,

artillery park.'., from which they pour
' a contiguous rain t fire to the

h The Omaha branch of the Federal
Reserve bank of the Tenth district
will open formally for business in
Omaha Tuesday morning in the Far-

O. T. Eastman, manager of the new
branch bank, with some of his force
worked most of the day today, which
was a legal holiday, getting the rec
ords, the ledgers, and other details
into shape for the opening.
The ledger accounts of the Omaha
banks on the books of the Federal K
serve bank in Kansas City, have been
transferred to Omaha on loose leaf,
sheets, and here inserted and clamped
into the -big new ledgers at the branch
bank. This saved all the transcribing
of items from" the books at Kansas
City, to the books at Omaha, and thus
eliminated the, ppssibility of errors,
Ready for Business.
Beginning Tuesday morning all na
tional banks in Nebraska will do their
federal reserve business with the
Omaha branch, such as the rediscount
ing of paper, the d'epositing of drafts
for credits, and in fact all business
which they formerly transacted with
the Federal Reserve bank of Kansas
City.
The moving of the loose leaf ledger
accounts to Omaha by. express auto

End of War in the
Coming, of "Amexes"
Paris, Sept 3, "It it a pity that
so much blood has been shed in
vain." -
A German officer, taken prisoner
in the recent French advance north
of Verdun, is thus quoted by the.
Echo de la Rochelle, and a staff
officer who interrogated the Ger
man is given as authority for the
, interview.
The German paid homage to the
heroic courage of the French sol.
. diera, but tried to discourage the
idea that help would be forthcom
ing from the United estates, declar.
ing that President Wilson was fool
ing the allies.
To convince him, the German was
taken before General ' Pershing,
when tears rolled down his cheeks,
and he remarked, sadly: "Since that,
is the case it is all over. We are
lost."
