60,000 MORE ITALIANS

GREAT FORCE OF CADORNA'S
TROOPS CAPTURED ON LOWER
TAGLIAMENT0, SAYS BERLIN
German War Office Announces Total of
Prisoners Taken in Offensive Has
Been Increased to 180,000, With
1500 Guns
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.
British and French re-enforcements hac arrived at the Tafrliamonto front In
Italy, Home cables today stated. The Allied troops were enthusiastically
Welcomed by the Italian populace and soldiers. The dispatches gave no indication
of the strength or nature of the re-enforcements. Italian correspondents at the
battle front were quoted as firmly of the belief that the invading Austro-German-Turkish-Dulgar
horde will be stopped.
BERLIN', Nov. 1.
Sixty thousand Italian soldiers "laid down their arms cast of the lower
Tagliamento," the official statement announced today.
The War Office announced .the total of prisoners taken in the great Italian
drive had now reached 180,000 men, and 1500 . ;::s were taken.
"The Italians retired fighting to the wes'.in bank of the Taglinmcnto," the
Berlin War Office declared, "at the Pouzano, Dignano and Codroipo bridgeheads,
violently resisting and covering the retirement of the Third Aimy.
"The bridgehead positions at Dignano and Codroipo were stormed nnd wc
penetrated from the north the rear guard positions cast of the lower Tagliamento."
The 00,000 men who "laid down their arms" cast of the Tagliamento River
probably refers to a big body of the troops of the Third Italian Army, which
dispatches have indicated was likely to be trapped near the coast.

of Life
RETURNED SAFE TO PORT
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.
The American transport Finland was to -pedoetl
In foreign waters while homeward
bound, Secretary of tho Nay Daniels an
nounced today.
There was no loss of life and the trans
port letumed to a foielgn port under her
own steam. The damage to tho ship was
flight.
Secretary Daniels's statement was as fol
lows :
The Navy Department lino recelcved

Innd wiih torpedoed while returning from
foreign wutera.
The duntnge to the fthlp wn allclit nnd

The Finland Is the second transport to
be attacked while returning from Its mis
sion to Kurope. Tho Antilles on October
17 was torpedoed and bunk with tho loss
of sixty-seven lles.
Tho dispatches to tho Nay Department
regarding tho attack on the Finland stated
that no submarine was seen, ns was the
case In the attack on the Antilles. Whether
tl.c Germans aro using a new system In
hiding their assaults on transport ships It
a question puzzling naval authorities.

EIGHT KILLED,
21 INJURED IN
LONDON RAID
More Than 30 German
Planes Attack Coast of
England
THREE REACH CAPITAL
LONDON'. Nov. 1.
The most picturesque nnd noisy raid Loik
don and Its environs have et seen and
heard took n toll of eight lives and Injured
4
twenty-one, according to odlclal announce
ment today. The casualties cover the whole
district bombed, from the coast to London.
More than thirty German planes. In seven
groups, wcro sighted late last night over1
the Kent nnd Ksscx coasts and the Thames
estuary. All endeavored to fly up the
Thames to London. At least three pene
trated the capital's air defenses and drop
ped bombs In tho heart of the city. They
went through the 1 ottest fire of antiaircraft
guns that the Dritlsh liao ever loosed
against aerial assassins.
"Hv cry where the material damage was
slight," the ofllclal announcement nsscrted.
"Our machines nil returned safely."
All seven groups of the German machines
followed a systematic course up the
Thames, apparently all aiming to reach
London by sighting their way on the banks
of tho river.
British anti-aircraft guns and British
Aircraft lurassed the German visitors all
along their route of flying. The roar of
shells was continuous nnd car-splitting
Tho purr of tho German aircraft engines
was plainly audible in London.
Warnings sent the city's populacq scur
rying to underground refuge, while tha
tvhofeT?iyv?Wn'ShtiiaTclnlgsT
flaresx, bursting shells and rockets.
Thousands of shells were fired In the
continuous fulllado with which British
autl-nlrcraft guns punctured the sky.
London's ofllclal statements do not give
tho number of German machines In each
group. On other occasions, however, the
Germans have been accustcmed to fly In
groups of from five, to ten machines. This
would mean that tlif total of the air nrmnda
which Grmany sent 6ut on her latest baby,
killing expedition 'nilght have run any
where from thirty-five to seventy planes.
HALF OF U-BOAT
FLEETDESTROYED
British Now Sinking Subma
rines Faster Than Ever,
Geddes Tells Commons
FOE SPEEDS UP BUILDING
LONDON, Nov. 1.
Kngland has sunk nearly half of Ger
many's submarine fleet during the war and
Is now sinking them at n faster rate than
ever before. Sir Krlc G;ddes told the House
of Commons this afternoon In his maiden
speech as First Admiralty Lord. Notwith
standing this fact, ho said, Germany Is like
wise speeding up on the building of sub
merslbles. Sir Krlcs facts were the first revelation
from official sources of comparative figures
showing the success of Bngland's wrir of
extermination against the submarine. Eng
land has heretofore kept strictly silent on
how many submarines have been bagged.
Geddes announced sweeping changes In
the Admiralty, tending to divorce naval
experts from purely administrative details,
so that they can concentrate on naval prob.
lems. He announced that It had been de
cided to construct four new national ship
building yards to speed up cc-nstructlon
of merchantmen.
The First Lord said he was "satisfied
the disposition of foices was the best pos
sible" In referring to the conyoy plan for
merchantmen.
Defending the lack of co-operation by the
Ilrltlsh navy with tho Russian Baltic Sen
fleet In the Gulf of Riga against the German
fleet, Hhe speaker declared responsible naval
opinion had been against that step on nc
count of the mine which would be en
countered, as well as th; Ions; time neces
sary for such a voyage.
