ITALIANS ARE FIRM AS
BIG BATTLE IMPENDS
ON THE RIVER PIAVE
Advancing Germans Are Almost Within Artillery Range
of Venice, Which Fears Bombardment, and Has

(Or Artortatfd FrrM.) i
Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 13. A heavy and contin-
nous bombardment is proceeding
along the lower Piave river, marking
the opening stages o! extensive oper
ations on this new line.
Whether a general engagement is
imminent depends largely upon the
enemy, as the Italians are now en
trenched behind the river and fight
ing defensive tactics, with the stream
and their re-established forces check
ing the further extension of the Aus-tro-German
offensive. The engage
ments thus far have consisted of epi
sodes at detached points, although the
shelling extends almost uninterrupt
edly for 40 miles along the lower
Piave. The crash of some enemy
heavy guns is now heard, showing
that the Austrians and Germans have
been able to bring up a few of these
monster pieces.
No longer is a secret made of the
fact that Piave is the line of defense
to which the supreme command has
been bending its energies steadily for
(he last 10 days. The upper end of
this line joins the Trentmo front,
making virtually one unified front,
ca'ninir in a huee arc from Lake
Garda to the mouth of the Piave,
near Venice.
; Protection of Venice.
Precautionary measures to protect
Venice continue, lest the enemy,
, whose long range guns are not far
off, should attempt to bombard the
famous art center. The palace of the
Doges has been covered with sand
bagsfand the delicate facade has been

course of its training, came in contact
with the enemy and acquitted itself
very .creditably in this first encounter.

cause, was hopeless,, as no news of
Kerensky came and the ammunition
was nearly exhausted. Many of them
had been paroled after the Winter
palace surrendered last week and they
feared! to trust themselves again in
the, hands of the Bolsheviki.
. ' Capture Antonoff.
In taking the exchange the cadets
had captured M. Antonoff, the assist
ant minister of war, .whom they held
prisoner. j
Panic toon seized the defenders.
The officers in desperation cut the
buttons' and insignia from their uni
forms, while others discarded their
unjforms and attired themselves in
the garments of the linemen. Frantic
telephone calls were sent in every di
rection asking for help. Finally M.
Antonoff and Mr. Williams were sent
to parley with Bolsheviki, who prom
ised the men would be spared if they
surrendered. Thisithe cadets did, one
by one. Many ot tne telepnone oper
ators remained at their posts through
out the firing. Miss Beatty cheered
and encouraged the more timorous
girls and assisted in treating the
wounds of cadets who had been shot
by the Bolsheviki.

The Testimony. ,
"Were you at your borne about
3:15 p. m. Nethaway?"
Mr. Piattl for the state asked.
"No, sir, I was not"
"Were you at your home between
3 o'clock and. the time you met
Learned?' '
"I don't see how I could have
been," Nethaway replied. "I met
Learned and went in his car iwith
him to look at some property. We
came back and he left me and I got
in my car and drove home. That
was about 4 o'clock." ' -
Nethaway testified that he left his
car standing in the shade near the

not appear. He did not worry about
her - until he returned with Mr.
Learned and found that she jiad not

..:y, Misses Wife.
' "I then drove around home. The
door was locked and I took out my
keys and went in. But she was not
there."
Mrs. Herdman in the morning ses
sion testified that at the time the
nego, Smith, stepped up on the porch
and knocked at the door that the door
was slightly open but that the screen
was shut
Nethaway testified that he then
called up her sisters, Mrs. Bagero
and Mrs. Dalby and asked where his
wife was. Then he drove back to his
office in Florence and "took off his
coat and vest and washed his hands."
rrom the office he called the sisters
again and then got in the auto and
started for home.
There were three soldier boys on
the street that I tried to get to ride
with me, but they wouldn't come.
Then I saw the Holseman boy and
got him to go with me. I told him
that I was worried about my wife be
cause I couldn't find her. Then we
picked up another fellow that 1 didn't
know and I got him to go with me."
Nethaway Reaches Scene,
"We got to the bridge and I told
the boys to go up each side of the
track. I went up the middle of the
track looking on both sides. I went
clear home.' I saw Herdman and
asked him if he had seen my wife.
He said that he had seen a negro go
ing away from the house 15 minutes
ago.
"Werej'ou worried about your wife
at this timet."
"When I heard about that negro
you bet I was worried," Nethaway
answered.
He testified finally to the search
with Herdman along the banks where
he found his wife's body.
Mrs. Herdman Testifies.
Mrs. Jessie Herdman, wife of the
telegraph operator at Briggs station,
and her husband were the principal
witneses for the state during the
morning.
"I saw Mr. Nethaway come home
in his car about 3:16," Mrs. Herdman
testified. "He left again in about five
minutes. He left hit motor running
while he went into the house. He
drove away in a hurry.
"We were lying down and heard
a noise down the tracks. 'What was
that?' I said to Mr. Herdman. 'It's
only some pigeons out on the tracks
he, replied.'- ,
Mrs. Herdman testified that the
heard the Nethaway dog bark and
upon looking up saw Smith walk up
on the Nethaway porch and rap at
the door, The dog came running up
to him and he patted it on the head.
He left immediately and came to the
Herdman yard, where he drank from
hit hand at the pump and, went away,
she said, ,
Thomas A. Edwards testified to
finding Mrs. Nethaway't hat bv a
path where someone had walked up
the hill through the grass. The hat
was half way up the hiU between the
right-of-way and the place where the
body was found. The little blue and
white hat was exhibited in court
Nethaway Showa Strain.
At this point in the testimony the
veins stood out on Nethaway't fore
head ad he buried his face in his
handkerchief. His sister put her arm
about his neck to steady him. '
Edwards testified that he later
found a piece of Mrs. Nethaway's
skirt at a soot near the right-of-way

Food Prices Hit
My Lady's Poodle
New York, Nov. 12-The latest
rise in the price of food in New
York will affect pet dogs at several
of the leading hotels. Announce
ment was made today that the price
of dog food has been raised to
equal that charged for guests. Shin
bones will now cost 50 cents apiece
and the price for chopped meat has
been boosted from 20 cents a pound
to 75 cents.

the people doffed their hats as a fu
neral cortege with four white horses
drawing a white canopied hearse and
black-garbed mourners following on
foot, crossed the Morskaia directly in
the line of fire.
Bullets spattered against the facades
of the buildings and one military ca
det fell in a crumpled heap across the
street from the Associated Press of
fice. Another fell with a shot through
the head as he was warning the on
lookers to seek safer quarters.
The military cadets within the tele
phone exchange surrendered shortly
after dusk, when their ammunition
became exhausted. The citv then be
came quiet except for occasional spas
modic firing.
Two other clashes between the
military cadets and the Bolsheviki oc
curred at the Fontakna bridge, where
a military cadet car was captured and
the inmates killed, and at Vladmirsky
the military school, which was bom
barded and captured only after a
brave defense. The military cadets
correspond to the West Point cadets
in America.
The committee of public safety is

1 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS are absolutely LEAK
TIGHT.
2 -AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS are CONCENTRIC and
made of one piece that is, the same
thickness at all parts of the circumfer
ence. This leaves no place for oil or
carbon to accumulate in back of ring
and the grooves in the "piston can not
be worn out of parallel.
3 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS obtain their tension
through a patented hammering pro
cess. This tension is permanent, be
cause the compressed metal on the in
side of the ring cannot lose its tension,
no matter how hot the ring may get.
AMERICAN RINGS, therefore, never
have to be replaced on account of loss
of compression.
4 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS exert a uniform pressure
at all points of the ring. This keeps
the cylinders round and the cost cf re
boring them is eliminated.
5 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS, because of their perma
nent tension and the powerful com
pression they create increase the
motto's power by 10 to 30 per cent
(actual tests).
6 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS, being absolutely LEAK
TIGHT, will save from 25 to 50 per
cent gasoline, and 50 to 75 per cent
oil (actual tests).
7 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS, being CONCENTRIC, fit
the cylinder grooves evenly at all
points and prevent the collection of
carbonthis means no more carbon
trouble.
8 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS, being LEAK-TIGHT,
prevent oil from getting into the cyl
inder heads this does away with
smoking and avoids spark plug trou
ble. 9 AMERICAN HAMMERED PIS
TON RINGS are guaranteed npt to
wear the cylinder walls. Every ring is
tested for hardness of metal. If the
metal proves too hard or too soft the
ring is discarded. The metal in every
AMERICAN RING is sufficiently hard
not to wear rapidly, but not hard
enough to wear the cylinder wall. It is
cheaper to have the piston ring wear
than the cylinder wall, as it costs less
to buy piston rings than to have cyl
inders re-bored. - ,

TON RINGS, having proved them
