BATTLE OF GIANTS ,
AT MONTE GRAPPA
ON ITALIAN LINE
(Continued From Pse One.)
then took positions back of the town
of Quero and violent artillery and in
fantry attacks were centered on Mont
fenera and Tomba. Much of the fight
ing in the mountains was at close
quarters, with bayonet charges and
desperate hand-to-hand struggles
along an extended front. . Through
Monday, Tuesday and today charge
followed charge and counter attack
followed attack. In some of the blood
iest fighting ground has changed
hands three or four times.
At the little village of Naranzine,
on the slopes of Monte Monfenera,
, the enemy first gained lodgment and
sought to surround the large Italian
force, but was thrown back by a
splendid rally of the Italian lines
which swept forward with cheers un
- til the position was clear. It was the
bloodiest kind of fighting, with
bayonets first and then with bayonets
wreched from their sockets and used
. as double-edged knives. '
Again the enemy massed forces
. higher up on Monte Monfenera.
backed by- batteries concentrated
, from all points. Before this intense
shell fire the Italian infantry gave
ground slowly until the upper slopes
were abandoned, but the righting goes
on with unabated desperation and it
.-. is still too soon to say what the out
come may be of this heaviest blow
to break through to the western
. plains. ' .
The conduct of the Italian troops is
above all praise. They are contesting
every foot of the way, fighting like
1 tigers and with spirit and confidence,
even in the face, of greatly superior
numbers. v t

Kerensky's Afde Says Rail
' roads'' Neutrality Was Cause
of Chief's Downfall; Bol
sheviki Will Soon Go.
Stockholm, Nov. 22. "No matter
how dark the situation in Russia is
today and it is dark, indeed it must
not be forgotten that Russia is a coun
try of unlimited.possibiltties, said Dr,
David boskice, confidential secretary
to A. r. Kerensky. the deposed Kus
sian premier, and his right-hand man
to the Associated i ress correspond
ent today.
"The Bolshevik! were in control of
Petrograd and many other places
when I left the capital on Friday,"
continued Dr. oskice, but they can
not maintain power. I consider four
weeks the utmost length of time that
they can last. They have no support
except that which they have won by
taise promises. Ihey are today say
ing to their adherents, 'We have given
you peace and land,' the decree issued
Friday declaring all the factories and
workshops now the property of the
workmen.
The future government, Dr. Sos
kice believes, will be a homogeneous,
all-socialist government.
In regard to whether the future
government in Russia would be
forced to conclude peace, Dr. Sos
kice expressed the opinion that this
would not be the case.
Allies Must State Aims.
"But," he continued, "the future
government will have as one of the
planks of its platform a demand that
me antes again state tneir war aims
and thus cjit the ground from under
the feet of the German militarists.
Before the present trouble began the
government hac worked out s
scheme for forming a volunteer wrmv.
The next government will carry out
this plan and will have the cordial
help of Great Britain an America.
This army probably will not be capa
ble of great offensive action, but it
Railways Caused Fall.
Dr. Soskice attributed the final
downfall of Kerensky to what he al
luded to as the misdirected humam
tarianlkm of the railway employes
Kerensky, he , said, was advancing
from Gatchina with loyal troops and
fighting had already begun when the
All-Rujsian union of railway servants
issued an order to maintain strict neu
trality by refusing to move trains
carrying soldiers or munitions for
either, side. The result of this was
disastrous to the Kerensky forces, all
ot whose supplies came from the
front, hundreds of miles away, where
as the Bolsheviki had enormous
stocks in Petrograd, only a few Wiles
to their rear. Their troops , covered
the distance on foot and theirvmuni
'tions could be transported by wagons.
Pole Aids' Sosklce. ' .
Detained in Tornea, Dr. Soskice
had abandoned hope of getting to
Haparanda when two men who heard
that he was the correspondent of an
English newspaper interceded forJiim
without knowledge of his identity and
position. One of these men, M. Radak,
is an Austrian Pole, who was expelled
from Russia! by Kerensky as a Ger
man agent. " , .
The other was known In Stockholm
as M. Ganetzky, .although "his real
name is Burstenburg. Both he and
Radak are members of the Bolsheviki
"foreign representation" in Stockholm
and publishers of the Messenger of
the Russian Revolution.
Both had been summoned to Petro
grad by Nikolai Lenine.
Germans cn Staff. '
Dr. Soskice said there were rumors
that German officers were on the
Bolsheviki staff. He instanced as evi
dence of German activities the dis
covery in the possession of one sailor
in Helsingfors of 3,000,000 Finnish
marks and of 10,000,000 marks in the
possession of another.
Dr. Soskice declined to say where
Kerensky is at present. The secre
tary, left Stockholm tonight.. Learn
ing he was in the city, Ira Nelson
Morris, the American minister,asked
him to come to the legation, where he
was closeted with the minister for an
hour. Minister Morris then took him
in an automobile to the British em
bassy. U. S. Mission Reaches' France.
