ITALIANS HOLD

RELENTLESS FOE
Destroy Six Out of Twenty Di
, visions of Austro-Ger-man
Troops in Ter
rific Battle.
Rome, Nov. 27. An entire division
of the enemy made an attack yester
day in the Brenata valley in an effort
to break through the Italian northern
front Today's official statement says
.these troops, which attacked in
massed formation, were driven back.
Washington, Nov. 27. Heavily re
inforced masses of Austro-Germans,
estimated at 20 divisions, vainly try
ing (o break the Italian defensive line,
have suffered great losses, according
to official dispatches today from
Rome, and between the Piave and
Brenta rivers alone have worn out
six divisions.
Troops in Good Condition.
Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Nov. 27. During a
trip of 100 miles today through the
fighting tone in the north the corre
spondent met the major general in
command of the most exposed front
between the Brenta and, Piave rivers,
where the pressure has been greatest
and the losses heaviest, and obtained
from him details of the situation.
The general spoke of the condition
of the troops and the splendid fight
they are making against heavy odds.
The general estimated these odds
at four or five to one, based on re
ports reaching him. Attacks were
almost continuous at one point or
another, but the Italians were al
ways ready to respond, and had not
only repulsed attacks, but driven the
enemy back after a series of heroic
charges.
The general summed up the physi
cal conditions of the battle ground,
which made the struggle particularly
trying on the troops, first, he said,
there was that terrible strain of en
durance and natural fatigue accom
panying nights and ' days of cease
less fighting with the relentless foe.
Then there was the temperature at
nights at about 14 degrees above
zero. This extreme cold was made
worse, he said,. because the men were
without shelter, everything having
been swept away in the terrific artil
lery action and the constant shifting
of position. , , v
In addition, the general said, many
of the commands were short of offi
cers, as the continuous fighting had
taken a heavy toll. But with all this,
the general said, the spirit of the men
was unabated in the determination
to hold at any cost.
Venetian Plains Safe.
The fluctuations of the great bat
tle have now developed to a stage
here the resisting power of the
Italian army has been demonstrated
to be sufficient to retard if not to
prevent any sudden rush through the
passes leading to the Venetain
plains. i
This was regarded as a serious
menace six days ago, but as each
day has shown the Italian lines hold
ing solid against repeated attacks
and their defenders ready even to take
the aggressive against heavy odds, the
feelings- of gravity that ' then pre
vailed is changing to one of restored
confidence and unwavering determina
tion, coupled with a spirit of
buoyancy which prevades all ranks
of the army and civilian life.
There is also the feeling that friend
ly allied support is near at a timely
moment and that the mingled ranks
of gray, blue and khaki will com
bine to form the barrier that Italy has
sustained alooe until now.
Prince of Wales a Mixer.
Many British officers were at head
quarters today and the streets showed
almost as much khaki as gray. The
Prince of Wales renewed his earlier
visit, going about the streets and
mingling with the officers at public
restaurants in the most .:, democratic
fashion. : ,
It is reported from the Fruiuli
region, occupied by the enemy, that
the civil population has been re
quired to turn over all copper arti
cles, grease and oils in its possession
within five days. Emperor i Charles
is said to have made another visit to
the invaded region, going to the coast

'OUR BOYS' GIVEN
WAR CROSSES AND
THANKS OF FRANCE
In an Impressive Ceremony
French General Presents
Decorations to Americans
Who Withstood Raid.'
(By Associated Press.)
With the American Army in
France, Monday, Nov. 26. An im
pressive ceremony marked the pres
entation of the French cross to the
American soldiers who withstood the
first German raid early this month.
Fifteen officers and' men, cited with
their company by the French general
commanding the sector, were deco
rated today.
It was late in the afternoon when
the regiment to which the company
which suffered the casualties is at
tached marched to the top of a big
grassy hill. There, under skies
threatening rain and with the cold,
wintry wind blowing, they formed
three sides of a hollow square. At
the base of the square the regimental
colors and the Stars and Stripes
cracked in the wind. The regiment
was called to attention as the gen
eral commanding came up and took
his position in the open side of the
square.
Congratulates Company.
The general first read the citation
for the whole company, which was
standing near the colors, breaches in
the ranks showing where tjne men
now prisoners in Germany or in hos
pitals had formerly stood. Then he
congratulated the company and pre
sented the company's citation and
cross to the lieutenant commanding.
Next the three lieutenants stepped
from their positions, saluted and re
ceived their individual crosses. The
general congratulated each.. Next
the noncommissioned officers and
men marched up, were congratulated
on receiving the honor and then re
lumed to their places in the ranks.
The company lieutenant was given
the cross and citation for a corporal
who was unable to leave the hospital
because of a severe wound. To the
regimental colonel the general en
trusted the decorations awarded the
three men killed in the raid, asking
him to see that they were sent to the
next of kin in the United States.
Daniels Opposes Decorations.
Washington, Nov. 27. Decorations
ot any officers or men of the Ameri
can navy by foreign governments for
war services will be opposed by Sec
retary Daniels. He declared today
that if asked for an opinion he would
advise a strict adherence to the. pro
vision of the constitution which pro
hibits it.
Italians Threaten Life
Of Milwaukee Attorney
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 27. Another
bomb plot has been disclosed in Mil
waukee. This was made known today
when a death letter was opened at
police headquarters and the new de
velopment may lead to the discovery
that a combined plot had been made.
The letter had been written to At
torney Thomas J. Mahon, who de
fended the three deputy, sheriffs and
federal agent -in the suit started by
former Sheriff E. T. Melms, charging
them with unlawfully disturbing a
peace meeting in Bayvievv. 'The let
ter had been mailed from Bay view
Saturday night. It was written in
Italian and was signed "Deo" and
said:
"Prepare for death. You have been
marked."
Attorney Mahon's home is being

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 27. (Special.)
The State Railway commission of
fice was today the scene of another

Holmes of the Rock Island railway
appeared before Chairman' Thomas
Hall of the commission and accused
the latter of being prejudiced to such
an extent that he would not appear
before him.
This is the second time members
of the commission have been accused
of prejudice in hearings before the
commission. About a mdnth ago
Commissioner Victor Wilson was ac

a result the commission has declared
that Mr. Hainer can no more appear
before the commission until an
apology is forthcoming. The apology
to date ha9 not arrived.
Enter Red Ink'.
The controversy today resolved it
self into a contest of words and
vigorous piuni'ings upon the hard
wood table in the office of Commis
sioner Hall. Commissioner Hall ac
cused Attorney Holmes of having
taken a bottle, of red ink before com
ing to the state house.
On being accused of drinking red
ink, Judge Holmes got red-headed,
so to speak, and shouted. "I came up
here like a gentleman. You have
seen fit to insult me, but I'll be gol
durned if I'll submit anything to you
when you've prejudiced the case
against me."
The controversy was over an appli
cation of the Rock Island railroad to
take off two trains before a hearing
could be had. Hall refused to do so
intimating that the ' railroads were
trying to , cut down service in order
to make money, under the guise of
patriotism and conservation of fuel
and equipment.
This started things and though
Commissioner Wilson tried to pour
oil upon the troubled waters,' the wa
ters were too agitated and refused to

Judge Holmes accused Hall fii
"using Allen like a dog," in his
lusion to a conference had by Super
intendent Allen of the Rock Island,
with Chairman Hall some time ago.
"If we can't get the approval of
this commission to take off those
trains, we'll take 'em off anyhow,
shouted Holmes.
' "Try It and See."
"Tnct trv it and see what will hap
pen," Hall retorted. - . j
"Don't you say things to me again
like you have been saying," shouted
Judge Holmes, as she shook his fist
under the probocis of the chairman.
"You're not big enough to say 'em,
and nobody else is big enough to say
'em. I'm not going to come up here
and be insulted by you."
"Maybe I ain't big enough, replied
Chairman Hall, "but the state of Ne
braska is, and I want to say that two
little dinky railroads, one of which
you represent, have caused this com
mission more trouble and annoyance
per mile of track than all the other
railroad in the state combined."
The verbal and semi-fistic encounter
continued for some time longer and
finally ended where it had stacted, no
blood having been shed and outside
of ruffled feelings, no real damage
done.
