ROMAN ARTILLERYMEN IN
DEATH STRUGGLE WITH
INVADING TEUTON TROOPS
BULLETIN.
London, Nov. 26. The
fensive. It is now believed no
help is near at hand.
. x ENEMY ATTACKS FAIL
Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Nov. 26. Strong
enemy attacks with artillery preparation continued throughout
the day along the whole extent
and Piave rivers, but the enemy
attacks failed.
The fighting, while severe, was not of that whirl wind char
acter of the last two days and both sides are engaged indreorgan
izing their positions on the shifting front and taking momentary
respite from the tremendous strain of the last few days. ;
ARTILLERY GAINS LAURELS. Q-
Another enemy attempt to cross the
Piave on pontoons resulted in .
wiping out of the pontoons and the
men.
Further details of the fierceness of
the recent fighting in the north were
given to the correspondent by an eye
witness returning from the battle line,
who also told of many instances of
daring by regiments, batteries and in
dividuals.
The Italian artillery1 has especially
distinguished itself. In the fighting
around Meletta d Aventi, a mountain
battery was obliged to fall back with
the infantry, bvery officer ot the bat
terv had been killed except the cap'
tain, who was badly wounded. While
bleeding on the ground, he called up
two gunners, ordered them to set up
the wreck of the remaining gun and
directed them to fire from this point.
The last seen of him was on the
ground behind this piece.
WHOLE BATTERY BURIED.
Two other batteries were brought
into action yesterday morning. The
enemy fire was so fierce that a whole
battery was nearly swept away. As
the captain was killed, his place was
taken by a lieutenant. When the last
gun was destroyed in a storm of
shells, the few gunners about him
seized their bayonets and joined the
infantry as they swept forward in a
charge and were among those who
drove back the eneihy in one of the
fiercest attacks.
In another case an explosion almost
buried one of the mountain batteries
in debris and killed the captain. The
Austriatis tried to occupy the position
over this buried battery. But the bat
tery men first drove the enemy back,
then dug out their guns and 0 men
and carried them back eo tiia't the
guns again are in service today.
At another point all the artillery
horses were killed and it was impos
sible to move two batteries to a new
position until the gunners, had un
linibcp the pieces under fire and
had cai .-.td the v heels and trunnions
on their shoulders to a new position.
Many young Venetians are display,
ing conspicuous' valor as they feel
their city is endangered. One of these
Venetian corporals expressed their
general sentiments in these words:
"We saw the plight of the refugees
driven from the Frieuli region and we
don't intend to have our mothers and
sisters go through another experience
like that."
There have been many instances of
Austrian Raining advanced positions
wearing the Italian uniform. When
Austrian prisoners are captured wear,
injf the Italian uniform summary ac
tion at once is taken without the
formalities of trial. i '
An Austrian officer wis caught yes
terday in the unifofmof an Italian
lieutenant-colonel. Speaking good
Italian, he was mingling among the
soldiers and gathering information.
Atwther suspect.; was seen - here in
various uniforms, those of an Italian
captain, a soldier and a chaplain. He
escaped last night, hut was captured
today in the uniform of a chaplain.

TELLS OF TRIAL ON
MURDER CHARGE
Rev. Lyn G. J. Kelly, Acquit
ted of Ax Murder, Says Pro
secution Was Cruel Injus
tice; Feels No HI Will.
Red Oafr, la., Nov. 26. (Special
Telegram.) Rev. Lyn - George J.
Kelly, acquitted here' Saturday of the
charge of committing the Villisca ax
murders of 1912, this morning at the
home of Mrs. E. P. McLean, where he
and Mrs. Kelly passed the night, dis
cussed in cheerful mood his experi
ences since his prosecution began.
He said:
"I am delighted over, the outcome
of my trial. I knew I would win, but
it has been a terrible strain on me
through the last eight months of my
persecution and prosecution.
'.'The prosecution of this case
against me has been a cruel injustice
tc me, but now .that. I am tree again
I hold no ill will against any man. I
am innoceift of the crime of which I
have been so unjustly accused."
Asked what he thought of the
Montgomery county officials and the
people of this vicinity, Kelly said:
Sheriff Kind to Him.
'Sheriff Dunn has been most kind
to me and did his best to make me
feel at home while I was in jail here
and to brace me up through my ter
rible ordeal. Mrs. Dunn has been re
markably thoughtful of me, and I am
most gratetul to the relatives ot the
Moore and the Stillinger families for
the great, kindness which they have
shown me at all times."
Concerning1 any future develop
ments in connection with the case,
Kelly would say nothing. He de
clared that he was leaving the matter
entirely in the hands of his attorneys.
"I expect to make my home here
among my friends for a' while, until
I regain my health' ; he continued,
"and I shall complete as quickly as
possible the book which I have been
writing during my confinement, telling
the story of my life and my five years
of persecution, experiences and suf
ferings in connection with the injus
tice of my indictment and two trials.
To Preach and Lecture. "
"I am planning also to preach and
lecture in Montgomery county and
points in the state where I may be in
vited to speak."
The drawn and haggard, look has
gone and the little minister's face was
radiant with smiles as he looked into
the future and spoke of taking up his
work again as a free man. He was
kept" busy during the morning an
swering telephone calls and dozens of
his friends called in person this after,
noon to see him.

CZAR'S DAUGHTER'
- COMING TO U. S.
Former Russian Grand Duchess
Escapes Prison Through Fic
titious Marriage; On Her
Way to New York.
,New York. Nov. 26. Miss Tataina
Nicolaevna Romanoff, second daugh
ter of Nicholas Romanoff, leposed
emperor of Russia, has escaped from
Siberia through a fictitious marriage
to a son of a former chamberlain
of the czar and is now on her way to
the United States, chaperoned by an
Englishwoman, according to informa
tion made public here tonight by per
sons connected with the Russian
civilian relief.
The former grand duchess, who is
20 years old, made her escape from
Tobolsk, the present home of the ex
iled emperor, to Harbin, in Manchuria,
and thence to Japan, where passage
was taken on a steamship for the
Facihc coast.
The New York offices of the Rus
sian" civilian relief, including Daniel
Frohman, Ivan Narodny and Dr.
Thomas Darlington, have been in
formed the young woman will arrive.
in New York some time in December
to play a prominent oart in the work
of the recently formed organization.
According to an announcement to
night by the news bureau of the Rus
sian postoffice department, Miss Ro
manoff intends to remain one year in
this country and while in New York
her guardian and companion will be
Mrs. Margaret Barret Carver of Den
ver, who left this city, last Friday foi
the Pacific coast. - '
Secretly Leaves Tobolsk.
Mr. Frohman is a temoorarv mem
ber of the board of governors of the
Russian civilian relief.
Ivan Narodny. who is connected
with the Russian-American Asiatic
corporation, told , tonight how Miss
Romanoff succeeded in leaving Rus
sia. He said news of her escaoe was
sent to him by the emperor's former
second chamberlain named Frederick,
an oia tnena, ana tnat tne young
woman's flight had been known to a
close circle of friends.
Narodny explained that the daugh
ters of the former emperor were oer-
mitted to leave Tobolsk and to visit
relatives elsewhere, but that they
were forbidden to lcav2 Russian terri
tory, ihc plan was then conceived
of having her "marry" a son of Fred
erick, as this would give the former
grand duchess greater freedom of
movement about Russia.
The formalities of the ceremonv
were carried out with apparent reality
and only those who knew the secret
understood it was a ruse to effect Miss
Romanoffs escape. : .
."these are strange tiines in Rus
sia, Air. is a rod ny said after stating
that the young woman was on the
Pacific ocean nearing America. "Miss
Romanoff is coming to the United
States to 'work in any capacity for
the Russian civilian relief.' but she
prefers to write fairy tales, give dance
performances and talk to the women
of America about the terrible condi
tions now prevailing in Russia.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAlR
They do, not because it is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful. ' They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad
visable to use a preparation made
for shampooing" only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple home-made canthrox
mixture.. Vou can use this at a
cost of about three cents a - sham
poo by getting some canthrpx from
your druggist, and dissolving, a tea-
spooniui in a cup of hot water. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to ap
ply to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head, as with most
preparations. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disan-
pear in the rinsing water. Your hair
win De so Huffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its lustre
and softness will also delight you.

the Omaha Woman's club at the

noon. The amount was pledged fol
lowing the plea made by Mrs. J. M.

taken in the matter of the opening
of the 'meeting and so Mrs. M. D.

cessity of these "hostess houses"
which the Young Womdn's Christian

what a mistake 'it would be if the
