Bersaglieri Brigades Heroically Sacrifice Themselves in

Austrian Move Among Italians in Disguise,

(By Associated Frees.)
Italian Headquarter in Northern Italy, Nov. 4. One of
the most remarkable features of the Italian retreat to the Tag-
liamento line was the manner in which the third army, occupy
tng the southerly end of the old line, effected its escape from
the envelopment threatened by the second army enrorcea
rearward moTement
THIRD ARMY HOLDS OWN,
Whilt the tecond army was steadily
giving ground in th earlier stages of
the A uitro-German thrust the third
army held Its own, not yielding a foot,
although a heavy bombardment had
hn Vent no all along: its front.
When heavy enemy srtillery fire be
n to h heard first on its left flanks,
then towards the rear, however, it
was recognized that the position was
a precarious one tor sucn a vast
men and war material
This led to serious consideration of
the question of a retirement ana it is
believed the order was iisued at 12
or 1 o'clock or earlier the following
morning. '
FIRE IN REAR.
After the order to fall back was is
sued, however, the - duke of Aosta's
men stood to their guns, unwilling to
quit the field they had won witn sucn
heroic sacrifice, until the boom of the
enemy's guns began to be distinctly
heard towards tneir rear.
Then beean the stupendous move
ment rearward and sideward with the
memv hoverinir close along: the line
of withdrawal and Italian bersaglieri
brigades sacrificing themselves to per
mit the mam columns to get ciear
with their guns and munitions. The
movement was complicated by the
fact that few' of the main roads ran
east and west, most of them running
north and south. Also there were but
three bridges across the Tagliamento
river, which stream it was necessary
lor tne coiossai trarac ro,xross in
It is the judgment ofiiBtary ex
perts that this , removal under ordi
nary conditions would require a full
month, yet it was accomplished with
in an almost incredibly small frac
tion of that period, amid exhibitions
of fortitude and displays of endurance
and hardships snd inevitable suffering
almost without parallel. ( .
During its retirement the third
army had beepme separated from the
second, leaving a gap. Into this gap
enemy forces pushed forward and
soon put into operation a cunning de
vice. Austrian soldiers were dressed
in Italian uniforms so as o permit
them to spread out over the country
or minsle with the Italian forces on
both Sides of the gap. The Aus
trian! ' thus garbed were enabled to
advance unopposed, and then, opened
fire with Machine guns on retreating
parties. Some of the Austrian were
smuggled forward in motor j lorries
and then turned against the westward
moving force. ,-
Condition for the retreating army
became worse as the days passed and
the supplies grew scarcer, s
Many men died from exhaustion.
However, with all the inevitable mis
cry, terror and tragedy attending such
a gigantic operation, the army itself
lias been preserved with most of its
artillery and supplies, although the
best informed military opinion be
lieves .that another two hours' delay
in Cadorna's order to retire would
have resulted" in the loss of the entire
third army. ; ' : -.,., .,- 'v
Shorten Italian Front
From the strategic standpoint the
Italian retreat in northern Italy has
certain compensations. It haa short
ened the Italian front from an irregu
lar curve of 70 miles to a compact
straight line. 4.',.,.r
The old line, moreover, had no
rivers as neutral defenses. Now, how
' ever, the front Is greatly shortened
with the entire army massed and
backed by natural defenses. Thus,
, strategically, the invading forces are
at present standing with a wide and
turbulent mountain stream . before
them on the edge of winter, besides
confronting an army which is rapidly
reforming along the new line. ;
v - Loot Jewelry Store.
Reports coming in today were of
reassuring character, showing the
'Italian rear guard still holding the
enemy east of the Tagliamento. This
river is a difficult one for the enemy
to cross, as the rapids are so swift
it is impossible to float pontoons. ,
' One of, the last arrivals from the
invaded regions came into town today
after a dangerous, circuitous trip
along by-roads to avoid the enemy'
scouts. I heir unians, ne reported,
entered some of the towns early On
Sunday and soon afterward there was
a fusillade which terrified the few
townspeople remaining. Another of
the late arrivals said he saw soldiers
breaking into jewelry shops And com
ing into the street With their hands
filled with watches and jewelry, while
!l other places having things of value
were similarly raided, 5 ,
Artilleryman Falters.
While the retreat was on the enemy
continued to push forward close upon
the retiring army, the rear guard
holding the pursuing forces at most
points. One priest, garbed in the uni
form of a chaplain, did heroic service
in this respect He saw an artillery
man falter and ordered him back to
his task. The soldier made a lunge
at the chaplain, who called a carbineer.
The latter placed the muwle of his
rifle at the soldier's breast and warned
him that tny faltering at such a mc
" ment meant instant death, whereupon
ht soldier returned to his task. -v
Thus the commanders battle against
the enemy and also against the abnor
mal congestion, with all its terrors,
miseries acJ fatigues which follow in
the wake of a vast rearward move

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 4-After trials jiuch as a
great military body ha seldom ex
perienced, the new Italian army today
is reconstituted, with regiments,
brigades and diviaions reformed and
its concentration on new lines Is being
gradually established.
The situation early today showed
the spirit and moralo of the troop
heartened, and, while conditions along
the fighting front continue grave, the
rapidity of tht reformation and the
renewal cf steadiness and stability
among all ranks ha improved the
general situation.
THIRD ARMY SAFE.
The duke of Aosta's success in
bringing the third army practically in
tact into the new position back of the
Tagliamento river, after extricating it
from the Impending danger of envel
opment, is regarded as a strategic
operation of the highest order.
. It was a ouestion of abandoning:
lines of intricate and 'solid construc
tion, more tha-. a mile in depth with
an elaborate system of emplacements,
trenches, . connections by jroadi and
railways "i; addition to enormous
stores, guns and materials and all this
in the face of a violent bombardment
and infantry rushes by the enemy, in
front, on the flank and sometimes in
the rear. ;

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Nov. - 4.--(Spcial.) The
Nonpartisan league in Nebraska plans
to organize the farmers of the state.
The corps of organizers has been in
creased from 25 to 40 and the secre
tary of the league announces that the
work is going to be pushed vigorously
from now on. Workers in the Da
kotas are being transferred to this
state and they hope by the time of
next election they will be in shape
to control, as they have in the Da
kota. The information is given in a
local paper, official organ of the league
in Nebraska.
This has caused politicians to take
notice and they are wondering what
the outcome will be. Those especially
interested are the anti-Bryan branch
of the party, who have been "viewing
with alarm the evident intention of
the Bryan wing to tie up with the new
organization. The secret meeting of
representatives of the Nonpartisan
league about a month ago with repre-
seniatives 01 tne oryans, wnicn was
published by The Bee, has caused
much anxiety among the Hitchcock
taction. -
Bryan Men Pleased.
The resignation of Governor Ne
ville and the ascendancy to the throne
of Lieutenant Governor Howard is
looked forward to with much satis
faction by the Bryan wing of the
party. Mr. Howard is known to be
Lone of the strongest Bryan support
ers in tne state and as governor he
will be able to bring much power to
the Bryan cause. As pretender to the
tnrone he is in a position to brine
mucn strengtn to tne cause and that
is one of the things which is said to
be keeping Governor Neville on the
job.
Whether it is true or not there Is
a general feeling that the mam reason
why Governor Neville did not take
the colonelcy of the now defunct
Sixth regiment was because Senator
Hitchcock and his friends were bit
terly opposed to Lieutenant Governor
Howard donninsr the srubernator al
regalia. Governor Neville is not a
mad who can be easily influenced
through any political wire pulling, but
ne could not he exnrrtri tn h tin.
appreciative of the fact that he owed
much to the Hitchcock-Mullen-Corey
conglomeration and would not care to
iiicatt hi in? uiauci aim v
against their wishes.
The governor is catr otic. He wants
to get into the fray for his countrv
and looks upon that as of more conse-
3uence than paying alleged political
ehts. Consequently there is every
chance that Nebraska will soon have
a new governor and the initial of his
front name will be something like
"Edgar Howard."
Real Fight in Party.
With the ascendency of Mr. How
ard to the governorship will come the
real scrap in the democratic party,: If
the Bryan wins- succeeds In tieinsr to
with the Nonoartisan league things
will look pretty blue for the anti
Bryan crowd. They will be handi
capped greatly by the fact that the
new governor will have the whip hand
over the present appointees of Gov
U.S. Artillerymen Leaving
for the Front in France
Italian front, although the enforced
retirement to it was marked by heavy
losses in men and material, affords the
strategic advantage of being straighter
and shorter than the old line and,
therefore, theoretically far easier to
defend.
With the known strong concentra
tion of Austrian and German forces
against the Italians, however, there
exists the menace to this line of a
flanking thrust from the north. Close
attention, therefore, is being paid to
the Trentino front, whence a heavy
blow is not an unlikely development,
provided the Teutonic intention is to
pursue the campaign m Italy beyond
the stage already reached. - ,

sore arms at that school.
No Tetanu Germs.
"As far as examinations have been
made here, there has been no trace
of tetanus germs in the points. I ear
nestly request all physicians to return
their National vaccine points at,once.
All points used in Omaha in the
future will be tested by the ' city
bacteriologist before being used."
Dr. Connell said he heard that a
federal inspector was here on the
case, but he had not seen that of
ficial. The vaccination of children at
Madison school was ordered by the
health department on October 3, on
account of exposure to smallpox. The
vaccine points were bought from a lo
cal supply house by the health de
partment When a few children re
ported sore arms, Dr. Connell at first
attributed the trouble to lack of at
tention by the children and their par
ents, but as the situation grew worse
his interest was aroused.
No Late Vaccinations.
The health commissioner stated
that during his administration of ll
years between 25,000 and 30,000 per
sons have been vaccinated in Omaha
and cases of sore arms have been
rare. No general vaccination of any
school or place was performed after
the Madison school children were
treated.
Anna Bratton, principal of Madison
school, has Seen so worried over the
situation that she was attended by a
physician yesterday. She was. not
vaccinated, but severat of her teach
ers whose arms were inoculated are
nervous lest serious results might de
velop. . - -.;

jobs will probably be grounds for re
moval and the placing in their stead
of Bryan men who can be depended
upon.
It is probable 80 per cent of the
present democratic office holders are
anti-Bryan men. Placed as they will
be in a position where they must quit
their jobs or bow the knee to the new
king, it is natural to suppose that the
jobs will look more inviting to them
than the uncertain future if they op
pose the powers which will then be.
, Howard and Norris.
There is a pretty well grounded
rumor that the Nonpartisan league
looks with considerable favor . upon
the candidacy of Mr. Howard for the
democratic nomination for the United
States senate. It has been intimated
that he may be the choice of the
league. But now appears Senator
George W. Norris on the scene with
a very emphatic declaration that he
is in the race for renomination. While
soliciting the support of republicans
for the senatorial nomination at the
hands of the republican party in the
past, it is a well known fact that Sen
ator Norris has strong nonpartisan
ideas and has advocated them in the
past. This ought to give him prior
rights to nonpartisan support over Mr.
Howard, who has always been a
strong partisan Bryan democrat, and
should both of these men win out in
their two party organizations, it would
look like the new Nonpartisan league
would have a strangle hold on the
United States senatorship unless op
ponents of the nonpartisan idea
pooled their issues, which is not very
likely.' ,.. ?- . . ' .
Methodists Plan Drive to
Get Pensions for Preachers
Hastings, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.)
Fifty ministers and many prom
inent laymen met at the First Metho

of $20,000,000, of which it has in its
treasuries $2,500,000. The Nebraska
conference is seeking a fund of $500,
000, of which it has at present about
$50,000, The Hastings district begins
its big drive November 11, according
to a statement issued by Rev. Dr.
Gettys of Lincoln, corresponding sec

Two Sams and Primrose
Start Something at Gayety
Sam Lewis and Sam Doty opened at
the Gayety Saturday with "Hello,
America," a rollicking show, with an
abundance of humor melody and girls.
The patriotic stage setting of the first
act, showing the Statue of Liberty in
the background, makes a big hit with
the clientele of Omaha's , burlesque
center.
This combination of Sams brings
a lively entertainment to Omaha this
season. From the first raising of the
curtain till the going down thereof,
there is not a dull moment The lead
ing comedians are full of unction.
Lewis appears as" Isadore Kerensky,
while Doty is Antonio Marconi. They
make their first appearance in the
show as immigrants just landed, at
New York.
The feminine aggregation is about
as sprightly a lot as one would meet
in a day's walk, or a day's ride. Prim
rose Semon as "Miss America," shares
honors with the two Sams. Her
Borneo song, with an Apache dafice
accompaniment with Doty, brought
repeated encores last night. Ida Hay
ward s the Junoesque member of the
bevy of maiden She wears a lot of
stunning clothes, one costume being
audacious in its style. Miss Semon's
"I'm an American Girl," also won ap
probation. A scene, "Somewhere in
France," showing heroes of the war,
made a hit and a patriotic spectacle,
"Allies Forever," won approval. The
show abounds in music and mirth and
is better than the average burlesque
entertainment
Lewis and Doty, the comedians,
have been here before and seemed to
be among friends at both perform
ances yesterday. Manager Johnson
of the Gayety extends an invitation
to the visiting state teachers' this
week to attend "Hello. America."
