Lack of Confidence in
Government Is Voted by
Italian Lower Chamber
By Associated Press
Rome, Oct. 26.—The Government
has been defeated in the Chamber of
Deputies when a vote of confidence
failed by 314 to 96.
The Italian parliament reopened its
sessions less than two weeks ago. A
dispatch from Turin on October 17
said that the position of the Govern
ment was endangered because of the
serious riots in Turin during the lat
ter part of August and because of the
general food crisis throughout Italy.
The food controller. Guiseppe Canepa.
l esigned owing the to food situation.
The dispatch said that the govern
ment would be called upon by parlia
ment to justify its action.
The Rome correspondent of the
Petit Papislen reported Thursday that
political circles in Italy were con
vinced that Minister of the Interior
Orlado shortly would be called upon
to form a nstional ministry.
When the Salandra ministry re
signed in June. 1916, It was succeeded
by the present Boselli cabinet, which
was reconstituted June 16. 1917.

Progress
of the War
On All Fronts
By Associated Press
From the heights of the Aisne the
German Crown Prince is being driv
en back relentlessly toward the
fortress of Laon and perhaps to a
general retreat along a line from St.
Quentin to the Champagne. His
strongholds wrenched from him, 12 -
(HO of his troops prisoners, many
thousands slain and wounded and
120 big guns lost, the predicament i
of the Crown Prince is most serious
General Petain's great smash of
Tuesday opened the way for iurthar
advances and Thursday under
Flench pressure the Germans were
forced back to the Oise-Aisne can;.l.
evacuating valuable positions in their
retiiement. More than 2,000 addi
tional prisoners and many blfr guns
fell into French hands.
Can Smash I.aon
T,aon. the fortress at the southern
end of the' Hindenburg line, is now
but eight miles from the French lines
and Petain's big guns can smash it
ai will. East of Chavignon the cen
ter of the French advance stretches
the Ailette river, on the southern
bank of which the Germans have
been lighting desperately to hold
hack the French for several months.
From the newly-captured positions
the French can sweep the German
defenses with torrents of artillery
tire.
Every foot gained by General Pe- ,
tain in the Chavignon salient weak
ens the line northward through La
Fere to St. Quentin. The French al
ready are on three sides of La Fere
and St. Quentin has all but fallen
into allied hands several times sinre
the German retreat of last spring.
A retirement from St. Quentin and
La Fere to a line running north
from Laon would endanger the entire
Gernr.an positions on the western
front as far north as Ypres.
llammcr Both F.nds
Probably the two most important
salients on the western front, from
the sea to Verdun, are those east of
Ypres and south-southwest of Eton. I
Field Marshal Haig is hammering at ,
the one and General Petaln is smash
ing through the other. A German |
retirement all along the line might |
result in surprising eventualities and
there are reports from Germany that
such action is not without the realm
of possibilities.
Italy's armies are fighting against
the massed attacks of the Austro-
Germans along the Isonzo north ot
Gorizia. General Cadorna apparent
ly has checked the Teuton efforts on
the Bainsizza plateau at the south
ern end of the line. Near Flitsch, at
the northern end and south of Tol
mino, in the center, the Austro-Ger
mans made gains.
Berlin Claims Victory
South of Tolmino the Italians
were clinging to the eastern bank of
the Isonzo and the Teuton thrust
forced them to cross to the western
bank. Berlin claims the capture of
10 00C prisoners and much material.
The fighting on this front Is all on
Austrian territory and the terrain is
very difficult, which should be help
ful to General Cadorna. who has
proved himself a master of moun
tain warfare. Behind the Italians
are many high mountains and the
country here is more sparsely settled
than that farther south around
Gorizia.
New Drive Opens
Although the Germans on the j
Aisne front were still smarting from
the heavy blpw General l'etain had
administered to them, leaving him
uninterrupted in organizing the cap
tured ground, they were called upon
to face to-day a resumption of tho
entente offensive in -Flanders.
Both Field Marshal Haig and the
Paris war office report the launch
ing of the new attack, which is de
clared to be developing satisfac
torily, although under the most ad
verse weather conditions.
Tho French were obliged to wade
through water up to their necks in
crossing the St. Janzbeck and the
Coverbeek rivers, but nevertheless
they made Important progress on the
left flank of the lield of attack, cap
turing Draeibank village. Papegoed
wood and many farms where the
Germans had organized points of
support. Hundreds of Germans fell
into the hands of the French as
prisoners.
The front of th thrust apparently
is a far more extended one than
that of last week, as the London
official statement mentions the at
tack as being launched "northeast
and east" ot Ypres. If the Britisn
have carried the field of attack to a
point as far south as directly east of
l'pres the battle front of the day
is on a line approximately ten miles
long, extending along nearly the en
tire curve of the new Ypres salient.

Hundreds of Prisoners Taken
by Petain's Poilus in
Great Victory
By Associated Press
Paris, Oct. 26. The village of
Draeibank, Papegoed wood and a'
number of fortified Jarms were tap-'
tured by the French in an attack
launched this morning on the Fland
ers front, the war office reports. Hun
dreds of prisoners were taken.
The French forced a crossing of
two rivers, wading through water up
to their shoulders.
On the Aisne front the ground'
newly won is being consolidated and
no important fighting occurred dur
ing the night. The Germans re-1
newed their attacks in the Verdun
sector and were again beaten hack,
suffering large losses.
I.aon Is Near
The French have reached the
Aisne canal and Laon, eight miles
away, is in sight. Following up the
victory of Tuesday, the French took
Monkey mountain east of Vauxailion,
the village of Pinon and the forest
of the same name, as well as the
village of Pargny-Filain.
Certain demoralization in the Ger
man command is shown by contra
dictory orders found on prisoners.
The question is asked where another
tetreat is intended.

cinity of Vaurains and St. Quiliain
farms the correspondent obtained
ample evidence of the extent of the

Amsterdam. Oct. 25.—German
newspapers are uneasy over the
French advance northeast of Sols
sons. Those at Cologne say it is
impossible to minimize the impor
tance of the French blow. The
Volkszeitung, says:
"We must not exaggerate the
meaning of the French advance. It
is only an initial success. * * *
We must not forget what resistance
our brilliant troops have offered to
the numerically superior enemy."
The Frankfuerter SJeitung charac

Germany, but not desperate, and be-*
lieves France's aim is the capture
of Laon.

Silk Underwear Worn by
Allied Troops in Battle
By Associated 'ress
New, York, Oct. 26.—The fact that
troops of tiie entente allies are wear-I
ing silk as protective armor agutnst
blood poisoning from wounds, has
partially 'accounted for the huge
shipments of American silk fabrics
abroad since the beginning of the war
in the opinion of silk trade authori
ties who have Just returned to this
country from France. The destina
tion and use of this silk has hereto
fore been regarded as a trade mys
tery.
It was learned early In the war.
according to these authorities that it
soldiers wore silk next to the skin
there was less <lang;er from blood
poisoning if the silk were driven into
the wound than in the case of cotton
or woolen fabrics. This discovery
icsulted In the manufacture of a spe
cial silk, prepared by a secret proc
ess, which is now generally used by'
the allied armies.
MA YOR WANTS "DA Y OF PR A YER"
OBSERVED BY
A proclamation by the Mayor of Harrtsburg urging local recognition
or Sunday, as a "Day of Prayer" was issued this morning us follows:
"Our country is now actively engaged in prosecuting its part in the
Great World War ugainst the German Empire, !n order to pie.s:i'vo l.'ie
.Me of this country from those who have planned and plotted our Ulti
mate destruction us a nation, ynd nine in order to make a supreme eX
foi t to secure a righteous peace for .lie world.
"Our country's reason for entering this war is a holy and righteous
one. We are neither desirous of .adding to our possessions; :ior plan
ning to extend our commerce through concessions obtained by force and
bloodshed. We endured countless outiages against our people, and the
cruel murder of many of them without rushing hastily into war. Our
great hope is to rid our sister nations In Europe of a monstrous invader
who respects neither persons nor risht and deliberately violates uoth
human and Divine principles and laws.
"In accordance with the lofty and unselfish aims of our country,
government and people are leaving nothing undone that will enable tlio
soldiers we are training and sending abroad to fight our battles, to lead
clean, healthy lives devoid of conditions that destroy character and ruin
the body. No great "people ever devoted themselves so carefully to
the spiritual and physical welfare of their as we are doin,;.
"It is therefore appropriala mid important that the people of this
nation should seek through prayer the guidance and protection of God
in the great enterprise vve have undertaken.
"I therefore gladly join our President in urging our people to
faithfully and solemnly observe Sunday, October 28, as a general Day of
Prayer for the protection of our soldiers and sailors and our govern
ment and cause and for greater strength and comfort of those of us
at home. "J. W. BOWMAN

ENTHUSIASM RUNS
HIGH AT MEETING
OF THOSE BEHIND'
Schumann-Heink Addresses
Mothers, Wives and Daugh
ters of Men in Service
One of the most enthusiastic audi
ences ever gathered in this city,
greeted Madame Schumann-Heinle at
the Orpheum theater this afternoon.
The demand for admission tickets at
the Y. M. C. A. last night indicated
the degree of Harrisburg's apprecia
! tion of the honor conferred upon the
I mothers of this city by the great
contralto singer.
At an early hour this morning,
practically all of the seats on the
first floor of the theater had been
taken. Thousands of those who de
sired to attend the meeting were pre
vented from doing so. The world
war has not yet advanced to the point
where every American woman can
name a son, a husband, a brother or
a father In the service of the coun
try. Perhaps that time will come—
Madame Schumann-Heink earnestly
hopes not.
No specific plan of procedure was
laid for this afternoon's meeting.
Months ago, Mayor J. William How
man expressed the wish that the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters
! of Americans who are in the United
States service might meet together,
for those who have given loved ones
can appropriately gather in a com
mon cause. Discussing the matter
with C. Floyd Hopkins, manager for
Wilmer & Vincent, Mr. Hopkins ex
pressed the opinion that Madame
j Schumann-Heink would very gladly
meet the women of Harrlshurg. The
famous singer gave a prompt and
gracious consent, and Wilmer &
Vincent contributed the Orpheum
theater without charge for the oc
casion.
Knows What War Means
It is not surprising that Madome
Schumann-Heink should take a por
tion of a day from her busy life to
