Guard of Cadorna's Army only 12 Miles Distant -3,500 Additional Prisoners Taken. , A despatch from Rome says: Addi- tional points of vantage were gained by the Italian armies on the Carso plateau, and on Friday night Gen. Oedema's army is within 12 miles of Trieste, the objective of the offensive. The total number of prisoners has been increased to over 8,500, 3,500 having been added to the 5,000 taken Mr Thursday. More: guns and great quantities of arms and ammunition also fell into the hands of the Ital- ians. Thursday's operations alone, :ac cording to Italian estimates, cost the Austrians 15,000 in casualties and captured.' The 21st Austrian Regi- ment and several battalions are said to have been wiped out. Roumanian Successes Over Teu- tons in Tansylvanian Theatre Continue. A despatch front London says: —Violent fighting continues to mark the Austro -German attempts to penetrate the plain of Roumania south of Icronstadt and Hermannstadt and toward Bucharest. The stiff defence of the Roumanians is withstanding the blows of Austro -German artillery and infantry about Predeal. East of Pre - deal the Roumanians advancing in the Buzea valley have driven the invaders. back over the frontier in the region of Table Butzi. They also have taken Mount Sfrial and Taturmio along the Transylvanian border south-east of Kronstadt. South of Hermannstadt, in the region of Rothenthurm pass, the Austro -Germans have extended their lines and captured an additional 350 prisoners. West of Rothenthurm and in the Prahova valley the. Roumanians are holding their ground. Trapping a Slacker. He had no stomach for the army, but had presented himself for examin- ation with a "sure trick" up his sleeve to "work his ticket."

"First class physically," pronounced. the doctor, but when the medical man applied the eye tests time would-be re- cruit's sight appeared much worse than when the sergeant 'had him in hand. "No, no, my man; with sight like that you're no use for the army," said the medico. "But you ought to get glasses. Stay, I've a pair like micro- scopes and if you see with them yea can have them." The spectacles were produced and fitted on, the recruit at once cried, "Oh, I see splendidly!" "Do you now?" said the doctor, with sarcasm. "Take him along, sergeant, and get him sworn in.

RETURN OF THE PRUSSIAN GUARD DECIMATED AND HUMBLED BY 'PHE' BRITISH. D. T. Curtin, of Boston, Writes of Scelies at a German Railway Station. The London Daily Mail of a recent date contains the complete article by D. T. Curtin, of Boston, dealing with the rout of the Prussian Guard -"the proudest military force in the world" —or the western front, extracts of which were cabled and published. Mr. Curtin was for ten months in Ger- many, and was given unusual appal - tunnies for observation. He tells of the Guard, "came back to their home town decimated and humbled, the most amazing aggregation of broken men I have ever encountered." He watched them secretly as they were unloaded from 'the train. Having been informed that he could not see them unless he had a special pass from Ber- lin, he, by a ruse, obtained a vantage point in the station restaurant, He writes: Dejected as Well as Hurt. The Prussian Guard had come home. The steel corps of the Army of Germany had met at Contalmaison the light-hearted boys I had seen drilling in Hyde Park last year, and. in a furious counter-attack, in which they had attempted to regain the vil- Ilage,had been wiped out. These were not merely wounded, but dejected wounded. The whole atmosphere of the scene was that of intense surprise and depression. Tradition going back to Frederick the Great, nearly two hundred years ago, had been smashed —and by amateur soldiers. The cal- low youth of sixteen who served my lunch was muttering something to the barmaid, who replied that he was lucky to be in a class that; was not likely to be called up yet. The extreme cases were carried at a snail's pace by bearers, who put their feet down as carefully as if they were,testing very thin ice, and who placed the comfortable spring stretch- ers in the very few vehicles which had rubber or imitation rubber tires. The work was done with military pre- cision and great celerity, The evacu- ation of this train was no sooner fin- ished than another took its place, and the same scone was repeated. Van Load of Dead. Presently the great furniture vans returned from having deposited their terrible loads, and were again filled. One van was reserved for those who had expired on the journey, and it was full. This, then, was the battered rein - pant of .time five reserve regiments of the Prussian Guard which had charged the British lines at Contel- maison three weeks before in a des- perate German counter-attack to wrest the village from the enemy who had just occupied it. • Each train die - charged between six and seven hun- dred maimed passengers. Nor Wes this the first day of the influx. Flower of German Manhood. The Guard had its garrisons chiefly in Potsdam, but also partly in Ber- lin, and represents the physical flower of German manhood. On par- ade it was inspiring to look at,ind no military officer in the world ever doubted its prowess. Nor has it failed in the war to show splendid courage and fighting qualities. Eng- lish people simply do slot understand its prestige at home and among neutrals. The Guard is sent only where there is supreme work to be dope. If you hear that it has been hurled into a charge you may rest assured that it is striving to gain something on which Germany sets the highest price for the life -blood of the Guard is time dearest that she can pay. Kaiser Sacrificed'Phemn. In the battle ei the Mayne the active regiments of the Guard form- ing a link between the armies of Billow and Hensen were dashed like spray on ;legged cliff's when they surged in wave after wave against the army of Feel) at Snaring and Fere Chamnpenoise. Germany was willing to sacrifice those superb troops during the early part of the battle because she knew that Von Muck had only to bold his army to- gether, even though die .did not ad- vance, and theoverthrow of poen would mean a Teuton wedge striven between Verdun and Parris. One year and ten months later she hurled the Guard Reserve at Con- talmaison becaut3o she was determiei- ed-that this important link in the chain of concrete and steel that celled back and forth before Bepaume-Pe- ronne must remain snbroken. The newly formed lime of Britain's lone bent, but did not break under the shock. They were .out -numbered but, like all the rest of the British that the back -from -the -front German sol- dier has told me about, these fought on and on, never thinking of surren-r. de Couldn't Beat Tommy Atkins. I know from one of them that in a first onslaught the Guard lost heavily, but was reinforced and again advanced. Another desperate en- counter and the men from Potsdam withered in the hand-to-hand carnage. The Germans could not hold what they had won bank, and the khaki suc- ceeded'the field -grey at Contalmaison. The evacuation of the wounded occupied hours. I purposely missed my train, for I knew that I was prob- ably the only foreign civilian to see the historic picture of the proudest soldiery of Prussia return to its garrison town from the great- est battle in history. Empty trains were pulled out of the way, to be succeeded by more trains full of wounded, and again more. Doctors and nurses were attentive and al- ways busy, and the stretcher-bearers moved back and forth until their faces grew red with exertion. All In. But it was the visages of the men on the stretchers that riveted my attention. I never saw so many men so completely exhausted. Not one pair of lips relaxed into a smile and not an eye lit up with the glad recognition of familiar surroundings. It was not, however, the lines of suf- fering in those faces that impressed me so much as that uncanny sameness of expression, an expression of hope- less gloom so deep that it made me forget that the sun was shining from an unclouded sky. The dejection of the police, of the soldier onlookers, of the walking wounded, and those up- turned faces on the white pillows told as plainly as words could ever tell I that time Guard had at last met a force superior to themselves and their war machine. They knew well that they were the idol of their Fatherland and that they had fought with every ounce of their great physical strength, back- ed by their long traditions. Thcyhad been vanquished by an army of mere sportsmen. Grim Tribute to Britain. My thoughts went back to Berlin and the uniformed scoffings at the. , British army and its futile efforts to push back the troops of Rupprecht on . the Somme. Yet here on the actual outskirts of the German capital was a grim tribute to the machine, that Great Britain had built up under the protection of her navy. In Berlin at that moment the after- noon editions were fluttering their daily headings of victory to the crowds on the Linden and the Fried- richstrasse, but here the mammoth vans were moving slowly through the streets of Potsdam. To the women who stood in the • long lines waiting with the potato and butter tickets for food on the Iother side of the old stone bridge that spans the Havel they were mere- ly ordinary cumbersome furniture 'waggons. How were they to know that these tumbrils contained the bloody story of Contalmaison? CONSCRIPTION IN ENGLAND. Government Strict With Men ':Frying to Evade Service. The Daily Mail of London conducts a eolu'num under the title "Far and Near," devoted to minor happenings and to news briefly told. The follow- ing extracts frvni this column in re- cent issues will show how strictly the English Government is looking 1 after. the "conscientious objectors" and other men who are trying to evade service in the field: Two London objectors who: had gone north to evade service were at Glasgow fined £2 each and handed over to the military authorities. "I have no patriotism. I would rather be a slave than fight for free- dom," said Robert Taylor, aged 23, who at Nottinghem was fined a2 and handed over to the military authorities. Jelin Donaldson, the professional • hntt.distance running chaneplon, was handed over to the military authori- ties at Manchester, the magistrates deciding that though an Australian he bad become an ordinary resident in England. For attempting to evade militery service by altering his birth certi- ficate se as to make his age appear to he forty-one instead of forty, George Kirby, horseman, was at Epping, Essex, fined 40 shillings. For refusing to join top when call- ed, Rees Jones, of Llansaint, was at Carmarthen fined 'f10 and handed over to the military authorities. His father and a neighbor named Powell' were each sent to prison for three. months for assaulting the police who went to arrest him, Dr. Amaro Sato recently appointed Japanese Ambas- sador to the United States. The newly appointed Ambassador, who is a baseball fan, brought from Japan to the United. States a message • of peace, good -will, and desire for con- tinued friendliness through the ages. GUNS SHORT-LIVED. Progress.of Erosion Impairs Accuracy of Fire. The life of a gun depends upon the progress of erosion, which sooner or later is certain to impair the ac-,' curacy of fire. Erosion is caused by the action of the explosive gases at high temperature and pressure. As - cording to the Iron Age, the hot gases cause a thin film of steel to absorb heat. Tile film expands and becomes set. Upon the release of the pressure it contracts, which causes minute cracks that grow larger with every discharge. As they increase in size they form passage- ways for more hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them still further. The inner surface thus becomes roughened and the bands begin to corrode. Finally, the bore becomes so enlarged that it allows the gases to escape. The shell does not 'then acquire its, proper rotation and its flight becomes erratic. All guns ex- cept small ones are now constructed with linings in the tube, which, when the bore is worn out, are removed and replaced, by new ones. The cost of relining a gun is approximately 30 per cent. of the cost of the gun. There appears to be no limit to the number of times that a gun can be relined. The small arms used in the United States are considered to be worn out after 5,000 to '7,500 rounds have been fired. Small naval guns can be fired about 1,000 times before they are regarded as worn out. Large 12 -inch and 14 -inch naval guns are considered to have a life, on one lin- ing, of from 150 to 200 rounds. Low- velocity guns, such as howitzers and mortars, have correspondingly'•longer lives than high velocity guns of the same calibre, because the pressures they develop, and hence the tempera- tures, empera-twes, are lower. WILL WIPE OUT FOES. But French General Says Much Fight- ing Lies Ahead. Vire are only at the beginning of the end of the war. Theantagonism ' dis- played played by the rival forces is such that only the destruction of one by the oth- er can be conceived, writes General Gabriel Malletini, a French military critic of highest repute. France must be prepared for a third year, which will be more terrible than .the first two. But it will be the last, we hope. If the allies' effort is guid- ed by one hand throughout; and if they throw all their forces into the prepara- tion for it, they will be able to deliver the supreme blow. Duration of War. A proper man is young always, Herr Fosehwitz, aged 50 years, and captain in the Landwher, married about the time the war began a wife not yet 20. Since the war has been dragging on and he has continued at the front, he has spoken often to his comrades about a matter very near his heart. "If 'this fighting business keeps up much longer,"says he, "when it's over. I'll find myself tied to an old woman." They say money talks. Perhaps that is why a doctor examine a pa- tient's tongue the first thing.' RHEUMATISM GOES IF HOOD'S IS USED The genuine old reliable Hood''s Sarsaparilla corrects the acid condi- tion of the blood and builds up the whole system. It drives out rheuma- tism because it cleanses the blood. It has been successfully used for forty years in many thousands of eases the world over. There is no better remedy for skin and blood 'diseases, for los of appe- tite, rheumatism, stomach and kid- ney troubles, general debility and all ills arising from impure, impover- ished, devitalized blood. It is unnecessary to suffer. Start treatment at once. Get a bottle of Flood's Sarsaparilla from your titer - est druggist. You will be pleased with the results. ALLIES EXTEND SOMME LINES French Troops Advancing at Verdun Now Dominate Vaux Vit@ode.' A despatch front London says: The British and French have extended their lines in the sector south and southrwest of Transloy. In a surprise attack Haig's troops advanced from their trenches east of Gueudecourt on Thursday night and seized a German trench. The enemy's counter -assaults failed to dislodge the British from the position. They were' completely re- pulsed, says the official reports. At the same time the French clashed with the enemy in hand -to- hand fighting for the possession of houses on the outskirts of Sailly- Saillisel taken by the Germans earlier. Poch's troops completely cleared these positions and strengthened their grip on the lines outside the town. This move, coupled with that of the British to the west, marks another step in the allied encirclement of the important position of Transloy and the Bethune road south of that point. With clearer weather the combined forces are ex- pected to deliver their final blow against Transloy and prepare for an advance on an extensive scale against Bapaume from the south-east. { 1,820 VESSELS SUNK SINCE WAR BEGAN. Losses of Entente Allies About 75 Per Cent, and Neutrals 18 Per T+. Cent. A despatch from New York says: One thousand eight hundred and twenty ships, with an aggregate gross tonnage of approximately 3,328,584, have been sunk by belligerent nations during the 27 months of war, ending November 1, according to figures com- piled from cable despatches and mail advices, and published here on Fri- day by the Journal of Commerce. The losses during October were larger than for any one of the precede ing five months, according to the sta- tistics, amounting to 127 vessels of a total of 227,118 tons gross. The Octo- ber rate of destruction was consider- ably in excess of the monthly average throughout the war' period. Norway lost the largest number of ships, 56, according to the statistics, but their gross tonnage was only 57,333 as compared with Great Britain's total loss of 115,546 gross tons, of 38 ves- sels destroyed. A table showing the total shipping losses since the war began, estlmates those of the Entente allies at about 7o per cent., and those of ' neutrals at nearly 18 per cent., with Teutonic losses less than 7 per cent. HERO OF DOUAUMONT SUCCUMBS TO WOUNDS A despatch from Paris says:—Gen. Ancelin, Commander of the belgaf which led in the assault on Fort Deus aliment, in the Verdun region, on Oct- ober 24, has died of wounds. Gen. Nivelle, the Commander at Verdun, in announcing the death to Mine. Ancelin, mentioned the fact that her husband had prepared for the victory and cap- ture of Douauniont. Gen. Ancelin was a Breton officer, and had served ad first assistant to three Ministers of War, Berteanx,Etienne and Willerand, in the direction of the army adminis- tration. He was in charge of the re- organization of the French cavalry be- fore the war. Like Herself. Mrs. Youngbride (in fish store)- Haven't you any lobsters that are riper?

A despatch from London says tees Although lighting continues at various points along the Macedonian front from Lake Presba to Lake Tabinos,' there has bean little change in the gen- eral situation. British troops have buken Alitsa, on the left 'bank of the Struma, from the Bulgarians. The British official communication says: 'On the Doiran front there has been only artillery activity, On the Struma our 'troops ambushed soineena• enemy patrols near Salmah, and took prisoners. Bursuk has been success fully bombed by our aviators." British troops, following up their successes against the Bulgarians on the left batik of the River Struma, in Greek Macedonia, have taken by as- sault the village of Alitsa; says the official statement issued on Friday by the French War Department.
