AUSTMANS ASK ARMISTICE
TO BURY THEIR DEAD; WARY
ITALIANS REFUSE REQUEST
(Br Associated Frees.)
Italian Army Headquarters
A visit made today to the fighting ground at Monte Tomba,
Monte Monfenera and other
in the north and then to the Piava line, where it joins the moun
tain front, afforded opportunity
present huge struggle and obtain from officers at several div
ision and brigade headquarters,
me conaiuon or airairs.
' ASKS VnV APMTSTTCF. O
It was learned that the enemy had
asked for an armistice to bury its
dead, the request being refused by the
Italians because of the Austrian atti
tude toward a similar request a few
months ago.
The Austriajjs had then proposed
that during the armistice the Itajian
guards should be unarmed and the
Austrian guards armed. This was in
dignantly refused and the present
proposal was rejected through lack
of confidence in Austrian good faith.
WATCH AERIAL. DUELS. ,
Approaching the battle zone the
canroynading became very heavy with
machine gun and rifle fire and a steady
succession of aerial duels, as Italian
and Austrian machines flew over the
opposing lines. A large enemy battle
plane was accompanied by a line of
chasers whiah strung out like a flock
of wild geese. ,
Visit Front Lines. '
From a high point the view led out
opon Monte Monfenera and Monte
' Tomba and the succession ofr low
mountains flanking the I'iave river,
where the struggle is now centering.
General Garibaldi accompanied fjhe
party to the extreme front lines and
personally pointed out some of the
chief points of the severe fighting.
It was his Alpine brigade that threw
back the Prussian guard. Three of
these regiments of guards had been
identified, he said, as the eighth 10th
and 12th. As the general had been the
chief of staff of Madero in tfitf Mex
ican wars, he was asked how the pres
ent fighting compared with that of
Mexico. - s
'. Like Hunting Birds. '
"That was much like hunting little
birds compared with this,". he replied.
The general said his men have a
splendid morale, despite the terrific
strain upon them and that when they
were told the French and Urjtish
were coming, they begged to be al
lowed to stay in their present ex
posed positiojjf. '
"But there is one thing that will
stimulate them more than anything
else," added the general, "and that is
some American regiment, perferably
made up of Italians who have taken up
residence tn America, it would bring
inspiration to the whole army."
DENY POPE AWED
ITALIAN REVERSE
BY PEACE TALK
Rome,. Nov. 29. The papal secre
tary of state, Cardinal Gaspsrri, ans
wering the numerous criticisms re
garding the Vatican's peace attitude
issued to the press today the follow
ing statement: S
"The holy father s not preparing
any new appeal looking toward peace
His earnest desire, many times man
ifested, for a just, Christian and dura
ble peace, is unchanged and cannot
change. Who can crave anything else
and call himself a Christian?
, "Malicious insinuations propagated
in America and the tendency to at
tribute in great part to the Italian
clergy responsibility jtor the recent
situation must be denounced. In Italy
no fair-minded person is attributing
the situation to the clergy.
"The" true causes of the recent
Italian reverses are perfectly well
. understood in Italy and the shoulders
on which rests the responsibility for
the reverses are well known, a respon- j
sibifiTy which certainly, does not
touch Catholics, the clergy, and least
of all the augost person of the sov
ereign PontifLrjv... ;

AMERICAN AVIATOR
ESCAPES BY DARING
Though Wounded, Jumps From
Moving Train, Wanders 72
Days and Tunnels Into
Holland.
London, Nov. 29j Lieutenant Pat
rick O'Brien of Momcnce III.; the
first American member of the British
flying corps to escape from Germany,
has arrived in London. O'Brien veluded
his captors by jumping from the win
dow of a speeding train. . He' then
became a fugitive for 72 days and, as
his goal was within sight, narrowly
escaped electrocutiqn from the
charged wires along the Holland fron
tier. ..; -
After cabling his aged mother, Mrs.
Margaret O'Brien, at Momcnce. to
expect to see him soon, Lieutenant
O'Brien palled upon American Am
bassador Page to seek advice regard
ing his desire to be transferred to the
American" flying corps.
O'Brien, who is a sturdy young
man of 27, was flying in the Ameri
can aviation squadron at San Diego,
Cal., when he went to Victoria, B. C,
and obtained a commission in the
Canadian army. Going to France the
next year, he distinguished himself by
his great daring over the German
lines. On the morning of August 17
enemy gunners forced him to descend,
but fortunately he landed behind his
ownylines. .
Late afternoon of the next day saw
him up again over the German lines,
fighting the enemy. There were 20
German machines to six British in the
encounter, O'Brien's machine alone
engaging four enemy craft and ac
counting for one before O'Brien was
shot through the upper Up. He fell
with his damaged airplane from a
height of 8,000 feet. O'Brien say he
cannot explain why he was not killed.
When he regained consciousness he
was in a German hospital.
Later the lieutenant spent three
weeks at a prison camp at Courtrai
before ht- was started for the interior
of Germany. There were three other
prisoners under a strong guard in his
compartment when O'Brien, as a ruse,
had the window opened by complain
ing of the smoke.1 , .
When the train was sixty miles in
side Germany and traveling 30 miles
air hour, O'Brien jumped from the
train, skinning the whole side of his
face. reopAiing the wound in his lip
and losing consciousness.
It was about 4 o clock in the morn
nsr and the darkness shielded him.
When he recovered he was lying in a
field.
Then for 72 days he was a fugitive,
traveling only at night. He trudged
through, fields and swam rivers-and
canals in Germany, Luxemburg and
Belgium before he reached the Dutch
frontier. At the time of his flight he
had a piece of sausage on which he
subsisted several days, after which his
sole 'sustenance consisted of turnips
and pther vegetables found in fields.

GARFIELD ASKS'
RIGHT OF ROAD
FOR COAL HAULS
Mines of Country Operating
Below Capacity, Due to Ina
bility to Ship; Situa-
tion Acute.
(By Associated Press.) '
Washington, Nov.( 29. A general
priority order giving coat and coke
shipments the right of way over other
freight movement was requested today
by Fuel Administrator Garfield ' to
relieve the country's fuel shortage.
The situation;- already critical, has
been made woe by the coming of
cold weather with its consequent
slowing up of railway traffic. In ask
ing, the order today of Robert ,S.
Lovett, director of priority, Dr. Gar-
hcld suggested it be put into' force
as soon as possible and that its opera
tion be continued until the crisis is
over.
Mines at Maximum.
Priority for coal shipments, fuel
administration officials believe, would
go far toward loosening the conges
tion of coal cars at mines and termin
als, which many blame as the real
cause of the coal shortage. With the
railroads pooling their facilities as
planned by the railroad war board and
coal moving prompetly, the mines, it is
declared, jvould be able to produce
at very near their maximum.
The chief obstacle to maximum pro
duction now is the slow movement of
coal cars, according 'to officials of the
National Coal association, who issued
a statement tonight declaring there is
on hand in the country at present less
than a week's coal supply and assert
ing that industries arc facing an ac
tual coal famine. V
Tie-Up Imminent.
- If the situation is not remedied im
mediately, the statement said, many
of the larger industries and scores of
public utilities plants will be forced
to suspend operations, probably for
days at a time. . !

' Orkin Brothers, who are con

Women's Coats, Suits, Skirts,
Dresses, Waists and Furs at 151(j
1521. Douglas street, Omaha, have
a surprise sensation in store for
Omaha women on Saturday next.
But, Orkin Brothers are not go
ing to tell the women much about
it today; Orkin Brothers simply
wish to sort of "mystery" the lady
folk over Thanksgiving day, so
that curiosity will be aroused suf
ficiently to look for the advertise
ments which will appear in Fri
day's paper. - $
Orkins.wijl say this much, how
ever: "Everything in the House in
the way of 1 will be sold at
a discount of ."
"Well, youH have to guess the
rest, that's all! Or you'll have to
watch the papers Friday, or at-,
tend the sale Saturday, if you
would know all details. The line to
be undercut in price is so much in
demand and the discount Is so
huge that you surely cheat your
self if you do not participate in
the buying.
While the entire line of
will be featured it must not for a
moment be thought that other
lines will be slighted because of
Saturday's specialization on one
thing. Every remaining wearable

Orkin Brothers have said time
and time again that they will not
take any of the present stocks

Whatever you see at the new place
will not have been seen in Omaha
