BERLIN, Oct. 2G.
Austro-German forces, in their ureal
drive on the Italian front, have already
captured 30,000 prisoners and taken
300 guns, today's official statement de
clared. "Under our pressure the Italians
have begun to evacuate the Bainslzza
and Hciligongclst plateau," the official
statement asserted.
i ROME, Oct. 2G.
Evacuation by Italian troop3 of
Bainslzza Plateau was officially an
nounced today. The pressure of the
Ajistro-Gorman drive in that sector
forced the move.
"From Monte Maggiore west to
Auzza we have withdrawn our bound
ary, evacuating the Bainsizza Plateau,"
the statement said.
The correspondents with tho Herman
rmy on tho Italian front claim the cap
ture of 12.000 Italian prisoners and a great
number of guns.
AuBtro-Oerman artillery on tho Cnrso
nlzttau. southeast of Gorizia, has becomo
very active, Indicating that the Teutons
are preparing to extend the zone of their of
fensive operations to that sector If this Is
done It will mean an extension of the
mighty battle to' a front of about forty
milts.
A furious attack was delivered against
the Italian position on the summit of
Monte San Gabrlele. at Hhe southern edgo
Of the Bainslzza plateau, hut it was beaten
off and the Austro-Germans retired, leav
ing the northern and eastern slopes of tho
mountain covered with their slain and
wounded. Home ndvlccs state that bad

specially In the Julian Alps, where the
thick fog and the heavy rain prevented
the Italian airmen from making pbserva
lions. The protecting barrage fire that tho
Italians put down when the Teutons began
to attack went wild' and was Ineffective.

LAWYERS IN NEAR-FIGHT
A heavy counter-stroke by the Town
Meeting party was launched today against
alleged Intimidation of wltneses by the
Vnro-Smlth Itepubllcan Organization's po
lice In Its war to wipe the names of tho
tiomlneer of the new tdependunt party oft
the ballot.
Counsel for the Town Meeting party, at
the outset of tho continued henrtng before
Judge Davis In Court of Common l'leas
No. 3. demanded that the court stop tho
Intimidation by contempt of court proceed
ings. Judge Davis agreed to act It evidence
were brought to him outside the present
case, and the Independent forces exultantly
prepared evidence that they declared would
put the prosecuting Itepubllcan city com
mittee on the defensive.
A persistent report sprang up that the
Town Meeting party proposes nsklng a
C ommen l'leas Court for an Injunction re
straining Director of labile Safety Wilson
and Superintendent of l'ollco ltoblnion
froni using the nollee to Intlmldatn voters
"The legal committee ot tho party has
not yet como to any conclusion, but the
matter Is being considered," said Frederick
S. Drake, attorney for the Town Meeting
party. "Let them hang themselves with
their own rope Kvery caso of Intimidation
menns a new vote for us."
Near hostilities broko out In court be
tween William A. Glasgow, of Town Meet
ing party counsel, and William T. Connor,
of the prosecution, when Glasgow threatened
to "break" Connor's face for snatching a
petition from his hand. Order was restored
before blows were struck.
Mr. Glasgow was cross-examining ld
wnrd Smith, of 6320 Webster street, one of
tho nlllants to the Town Meeting party
petition, who had Just testified that he had
authorized a worker to sign his name to a
Petition held by Mr. Glasgow. Judge Davis

Glasgow's side, snatched the paper from
his hand.

MRS. BARLOW VICTOR
FOR BUMM GOLF CUP
Defeats Mrs. Stetson in Two-Extra
Hole Match Over
Whitemarsh
whithmarsh, Oct. ic.
Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, of the Merlon
Cricket Club, won nn 'exciting match from
Mrs. O. Henry Stetson, of tho Huntingdon
Vnlley Country Club, In the flnnl round of
the Belle Stcclman Bunim Memorial Cup
nt the Whitemarsh Valley Country Club
today. It was not until two extra holes
had been played that Mrs. Barlow could
claim the victory.
In her career Mrs. Barlow has fought
many uphill battles, but she has seldom had
a harder task on her hands than today.
Mrs. .Stetson played brilliant solf on the
first nine holes and Indeed sho had out
played Mrs. Barlow to such an extent that
sho was 4 up at tho turn. This was ap
parently a safe lead, but the axiom that
you never can tell In eolf was aualn ex
emplified, for aided by a few slips on the
part of her opponent and some good play
on her own Mrs. Barlow gradually nnd
surely crept up until at the fifteenth hole
tho match was all square.
It was a rreat feat on the part of Mrs.
Barlow to win four holen out of five with
seemingly everything lost to her. It was
now Mrs. Stetson who was In n tight cor
ner, but Mrs. Stetson Is nothing It not
plucky, nnd she proceeded to win the six
teenth hole with n three to a four when
Mrs. Barlow missed her drive.
vWlth n little luck, Mrs. Stetson might
have won the seenteenth hole, but luck
on this occasion was In favor of Mrs. Bar
low, for she topped her approached shot and
herball skipped through tne mounds to the
green and was nbte to get a half In fives.
On the eighteenth both playea their third
shoto badly, Mrs. Barlow topping hers
badly.
The ball, however, ran well up the green
and knd made a fine approach. Mrs. Stet
bun was short with her approach nnd took
"two more. Mrs, Barlow was more fortu
nate for her ball Btruck her opponent's when
she 'was putting for a Ave and dropped
Into the hole. This squared the match again.
They gave each other a chance to win
the nineteenth, but It was halved in rather
noor sixes. There was nothing much to
choose between their first and second shots
on the twentieth, but Mrs. Stetson put her
third Into ground under repair and, dropping
back, she was short with her frurth. Mrs.
Barlow ran her fourth up dead, and Mrs.
Stetson w8 unable to run her putt down
and took six to the hole to Mrs. Barlow's
five and thus did most exciting match
end' Both women putted consistently well.
On the sixth hole Mrs. Harlow ran down
a very long putt and certainly saved her
self from losing the hole. On the eighth
Mrs Stetson made up for putting her sec
ond'oiSt'of land', by runnl.nP down her ap.
nroach P"U for a five. It so astonished
Mrs Barlow that she took three putts and
icst'the hole. The cards:

BRITISH ATTACK GAINS MILE
WEST OF PASSCHENDAELE;
GERMANS ON AISNE IN PANIC
Haig's Forces, Co-operating With Poilus,
Drive Forward Once More "Pill Boxes"
Quickly Captured English Cavalry
Again in Action
Another Rieat drive on tho Flnndcra front the second within live days
and the seventh within n month was launched today by Field Marshnl Haig's
forces in co-operation with the French army on the British left. The attack
began early this morning northeast of Yprcs, in the same sector in which the
Allies, by successive smashes, have forced the enemy back from the region of
the Pnsschcndnele Ridge. The fact that this blow was struck despite adverse
weather conditions shows Haig's intention of keeping up his terrific pounding
until the enemy has been driven from Roulers, the key to the submarine bases
on the Belgian coast.
Haig reported the usual "satisfactory progress," but a dispatch from tho
front this nfternoon says a gain of 2000 yards was made within nn hour
west of Passchendacle and that the British were generally advnncing from
Houtholst Forest as far south as Gheluvelt. British cavnlry is in action for
the first time in months and is doing good work.
The French have carried out their part of the work with complete success,
carrying Draibank village, Papegeod wood and several farms and capturing
many prisoners. Tho poilus advanced on a wide front and were compelled to
ford two rivers.
In the meantime, the mngnitudc of General Tetnin's victory north of tho
Aisne grows. More than 12,000 prisoners and 120 big guns were taken by
the poilus, nnd the demoralization of the German army is such that they
are reported abandoning their guns in an effort to retreat across the marshy
Aillette Valley and the Aisne and Oise Canal. The likelihood of a general
German retreat In this sector increases hourly.
ALLIES DRIVE FORWARD
DESPITE RAIN TO SPLIT
FOE'S LINE AT ROULERS
LONDON, Oct. 20
British nnd French forces In Flanders
Joined In another great drive today.
"Northeast of Ypres Hrltlsli nnd French
troops attacked at 5 : 5 this morning nnd
made satisfactory -irpgress," Field Marshal
llalg reported,
"Bain fell heavily durlrfl, theJaUer,, Port
of tho night nnd Is contlhutng todiy," the"
official statement ndded,
The co-operntlon between the French nnd
British wan perfect, nnd the nttacks were
preceded by a heavy bombardment which
crushed the Oermnn trenches and dugouts
under the blast of steel.
A number of German prisoners were
taken and severe casualties were Inflicted
by the Allied nrmles.
This Is the second blow struck by com
bined French nnd British forces ngalnst
Germany's vital spot In Flanders In five
days. A terrific drive launched Monday
carried tho French Tricolor and the British
Union Jnck forward on the I'asschendacle
rldgo nnd drove the enemy back nearly a
mile further.
A dispatch from the front says:
"Fifty-five minutes nftcr British forces
went ioer the top enrly today in a con
certed Anglo-French drive, German pill
boxes 2000 yards distant succumbed to the
fury of their attack.
"Half nn hour later the samo fighting
British were swarming In desperate battle
around I'oldhoek chateau.
"In fighting nt Gheluvelt today the
British were fighting nstrlde the Ypres and
Mlnln road for the first time In months
Halg flung his cavalry Into the fray nnd
they fought successfully. They were nlso
reported In nctlon around Passchendaele.
"The 2000-yard Initial gain was to the
west of Fasschendnele. From there tho line
of the attack nppnrently extended to ns far
north as Houthulst forest, where at the
time this Is written British forces havt
made good progress. To the south there wns
