WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.
General Cadorna's Italian army will make its first determined stand against
the Austro-German invasion of Italy on the Tagliamento River, official Italian
cables indicated today.
Cadorna isnow making a tremendous effort to save the third Italian
ihnv. stationed at the Gulf of Trieste's end of the Italian lines, the cables added.

Whether the famous Italian general, out

number of big guns the Allies are able to

The boys who are enduring the hell
of the trenches for our sake cannot
hold out if ill-fed. The situation
which we have to face right now in
this Food Pledge Week is obvious.
Either the stay-at-homes must

go short so that the stay-at-homes

both ways and must make your

a thlrty-slx-iiole course here today were all
even at the finish of play, and an extia

evened the 'score on the eighteenth.
The match was for the benefit of the sol
diers' tobacco fund.
Barnes won outright nve holes, ioos
three, Evans two and amateur Maxwell one
In the morning round. Barnes had the best
score, getting a 75 for the'" irst rouni.
The driving from tho tee vvai excep
tionally long In lew of the heavy atmos
phere and the course. After Evans got
started, having driven down from Bethle
hem In an open automobile, he held his
own against Barnes, probably the longest
driver In the country. On two or three holes
the four tee shots could have been covered
with a blanket. All four players averaged
more thin 200 yards on their drives and
even on the holes against the wind their
shots were close to that figure
Despite the threatening weather a large
sized crowd attended the match, and when
the afternoon round began the throwing was
considerably larger.
The amateurs were handicapped by
Evans's lack of knowledge of the course,
as he saw It for the first time this morning.
As a result, Barnes and Loos had a lead
of Ave holes on the first eight and It was not
until the ninth That Evans won the first
holefor his side with a bird two. He and

FARM HELP PROBLEM FOR NEXT YEAR SERIOUS
WOODBURY, N. J Oct. 29. One of the leading farmers In this section sas
that the farm-help problem for next year Is going to be far more serious than It has
been this year, unless the war ends. A good farmhand can get his own price as a
rule now, because there Is considerable work to do yet in handling late produce,
much of which is still In the ground. This applies particularly to potatoes. This
farmer further says that there U not one man In a hundred In South Jersey who has
made arrangements for help next season. Not that he has not fried, but because the
men will not hire out. Ninety per cent of the farm help In Gloucester County now
Is from the South. Much ot It will be retained through the winter, if possible, In
order to have a little guarantee for next year.

STATE POLICE ASKED f6r
Warning to Citizens
of Philadelphia
THE Town Meeting party today
issued this warning:
It has been openly stated today
that a circular letter will.be issued
and sent to every voter in Phila
delphia, signed with tho. name ot
the Town Meeting party commit
tee, requesting the voters to mark
and vote the "Anti-Contractor"
ticket instead of the Town Meet
ing party ticket because the Town
Meeting party fears and believes
that ticket is illegal and cannot
stand.
This circular is fraudulent ana
a forgery, and the Town Meeting
party repudiates it as such.
The Town Meeting party is .cer
tain of the legality and status-of
its ticket and ballot.
This said circular is being issued
to deceive again the voters and
deprive them of their ballot. It
is n palpable fraud and in a re
markable way shows the trickery
to which the other side is resorting
in an effort to avert an honest
election.
The Town Meeting party has no
doubt that the citizens of Phila
delphia will fittingly resent this
and similar insults at the polls on
November 6 by voting the full
Town Meeting party ticket.
The existence of the Town Meeting party.
Is assured. Judge Davis, sitting In Com
mon 'Pleas Court No. 3 today, decide dbat
the names or the new part "a candidates
might be placed upon the official bal ot
His decision was a blow to the Vare
Smith machine In Its desperate efforts to
smother the Town Meeting party kefor
election day. The very couft Which the
Vare-Smlth fnctlon appealed to declared the
candidates of the people's party put for
ward In nn Illegal way has upheld the In
tegrity of tho new reform movement.
Judge Davis's ruling makes it certain that
the names of the candidates for the row
offices William R. Nicholson, for City
Treasurer; Thomas K Armstrong, for Re
ceiver of Taxes, and Walter George Smith,
for Register of Wills will be p'aced upon
the general ballot at the election on Tues
day November 6
Judge Davis's decision was In line with
his ruling last week, to the effect that tha
rights of the electors of the city would b
protected by the court
Judge Davis declared that he would per
mit of the Town Meeting nomination papers
to be amended, but Indicated that he would
not permit some of them to be filed at all.
He said.
"In view pf the vast amount of testi
mony nnd the necessity of going over each
and every nomination paper that was filed.
It has been Impossible to go over them
thoroughly. I wish to make this announce
ment: "I shall allow amendments to be mad
where the affidavits, through inadvertence
or other good cause, have not been prop
erly sworn to; that In to say. I will allow
the documents to be nmended when prop
erly sworn to by five qualified elector!
appearing regularly before a notary. Th
amendments must be attached to the nomi
nation papers to' which the objections
specifically have referred. I will hear ar.
guments on any other question. Further,
I will Indicate which papers the court will
allow to be amended. I will try to do
this by this afternoon or tomorrow. But
there should be no anxiety on the part ot
any one as to the party name going on
the ballot"
COURT LIMITS DEDATE
Judge Davis, then limited debate to one
half hour on each side.
His decision limited the argument simply
to the question of which petitions could ba
amended. Counsel for each side Immedi
ately filed briefs stating that they had gone
over the petitions and the names as thor
oughly as they could, and giving the court
