ITALY'S FATE IS
HANGING IN BALANCE

cial announcement. The statement claims the defeat of the
second Italian army and that the Izpnso front of the Italians is
imperilled as far as Wippach.
Kaiser Hopes to Deal Italy
Death Blow by Striking
Terrible Blows in Alps
By Associated Press
French successes on the Aisne and
British pressure in Flanders are oft
set for the moment by the Austro
(Jlermun blow against the left wing
of the Italian forces on the Isonzo.
However the latest Teuton effort has
not yet progressed far enough to be
called dangerous to the future suc
cess of the allied arms.
General Cadorna's men were over
whelmed seemingly by the massed
blow of heavily reinforced Austrian
divisions under the command, it is
reported, of Field Marshal \on
Mackensen, the leader of two very
successful offensives against the Rus
sians. The Italian leader probably
considered it better to withdraw his
battered soldiers from the sharp
curve in the isonzo northwest and
southwest of Tolmino to a line from
Monte Maggiore to Auzza than to
attempt to hold the Austro-Gernians
where, if they were able to continue
theii' successes, the whole Italian
campaign along the Isonzo might be
nullified.
Berlin Claims Successes
Berlin claims that the advance
continues and that captures of men
and material increase hourly. The
latest official communication reports
the capture of more than thirty thou
san prisoners and three hundred
guns. Rome is reticent concerning
actual lighting operations, admitting
only that the Italians iinuer pressure
have withdrawn to the Monte Mag
giore-Auzza line, and that it ha-s been
necessary to evacuate the Bainsizza
plateau, northeast of Gorizia.
The Austro-Gernian blow appar
ently is a tinal effort to conquer one
of the strong allied nations in an
attempt to bring about a favorable
peace. The effort against Russia, de
spite the poor morale of the Russian
arihy, cannot be said to have been
greatly successful as a means to
bring about peace. In France the
Germans cannot advance but on the
contrary have slowly been giving up
valuable strategic positions. The tinal
hope apparently was in aiding war
weary Austria in crushing Italy.
Up to Caclorna
In the spring of 1916 the Austrian;',
carried out an extensive offensive
movement in the Trentino, only to be
thrown back beyond their original
positions by the Italians a few
months later. Whether the present
offensive will prove similar depends
on General Cadorna.
The lighting is in the mountains
and the Italians still hold positions
capable of a strong defense. Even
a retirement to a line running from
Ampezzo through Gemona to Civi
dale and then to Gorizia could hardly
affect the territory east of Gorizia
and southward alone the Carso.
Crown Prince Whipped
The effectiveness of General Pe
tain's smash on the Aisne southwesl
of Laon is shown by the fact that
the German Crown Prince has not
attempted counterattacks. The
French are extending their gains
eastward along the plateau north of
Ohemin des Dames, while organizing
their new positions for further ac
tion.
Under a heavy downpour of rain
the Anglo-French troops have car
ried out a successful minor move
ment in the Ypres salient, capturing
more tharl 800 prisoners. The French
on the north advanced their positions
north of Bixsclioote and west of
Houtholst forest. The British gained
ground around Passehendaele. east
of Ypres, and in the region of Chelu
velt, southeast of Ypres.
German Commander Admits
Superiority of the British
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, Oct. 27.—General
Sixt Von Arnim, one of Germany's
prominent commanding generals, in
an interview in the Korrespondenz
Norden, said the British troops were
two or three times more numerous
than the Germans and that the Brit
ish batteries were equipped with far
more heavy guns than the Germans
possessed.
A further advantage for the British
the general said, was that they had
80,000 soldier laborers for bringing
up munitions, while the Germans
who serve the guns have to feed
them.
General Von Arnim, also comment
ed on the wholesale expenditure of
ammunition by the British. He said
the transport of munitions from Eng
land, owing to the shortness of the
voyage, was difficult entirely to sup
press, but that the United States ap
peared to be greatly hampered by the
U-boat war in the delivery of muni
tions, and that the munitions them
selves were of bad quality.

A service flag with four stars is

SATURDAY EVENING,
i Whole Course of War May
Hinge on Outcome of Big
■Battle Under Way in Alps
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 27. —The Au'stro-
German blow on the Isonzo is featur
ed by the morning newspapers, which
comment rather anxiously. News dis
patches disclose that Field Marshal
Von Mackensen is in command of the
enemy forces, a British correspond
ent on the Italian front in a telegram
under Wednesday's date says:
"This is going to be one of those
terrible crisis when each side stakes
all upon the throw and when thou
sands of men are strained to the
limit of exhaustion for a decision
whose effect will reach far beyond
the battlefield and modify the whole
course of the war. Italy is about to
meet single handed almost the entire
Austrian army and to bear alone the
burdens she hitherto has shared with
the Russians. It is known that at
least ten German divisions are wait
ing behind the enemy front and that
the number of newly arrived Aus
trian divisions is even greater."
Grateness of Situation
Recognized by Italy
By Associated Press
Rome, Oct. 27.—A semi-official
statement issued last night says the
struggle on the Isonzo front is more
than bitter and that its alternatives
afe undecided. The situation created
by the power of the enemy, says the
enemy, says the announcement, is
"certainly grave."
The statement says headquarters
has taken necessary measures and
that if the troops remember that on
ten different occasions they defeated
the enemy on his formidable Carso
positions, he is unlikely to tread the
national soil long. The thanks of the
country are due to the Fifth Bersag
lieri brigade, which in the last few
days has held the Globocak position
at the Auzza gorge and is defending
it by indefatigable and magnificent
counterattacks during which prison
ers have been taken.
Boches Realize Their War
Machine Is Breaking Down;
Bavarians Are Complaining
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 2 7. —Reuter's corre
spondent at British headquarters in
Belgium in a dispatch received to
day says:
"The Bavarians appear to be bear
ing the brunt of the Flanders fight
ing and are openly complaining that
the Prussians are sacrificing them.
"The German barrage to-day was
erratic, the shells flinging up columns
of spray from patches of water. As
a result the British casualties were
very light.
"Most of the prisoners taken were
poor and shuddering. The more in
telligent of them were of the unani
mous opinion that Germany has inly
a chance for a tolerable peace, but
they feel that the winter will tell a
terrible tale in the fatherland. They
said they had been told that England
was in as bad a plight as Germany
in the matter of food, but they did
not believe it. All the men agreed
that the invincible German military
machine slowly was being pulver
ized."

MOTHERLY AS EVER

so deeply because of my boys, my
babies w;ho are in service," she be
gan.
"We women, we must be the
stronger, but oh, it is so hard!" The
keen, kind eyes grew misty with
unshed tears. "1 cannot deny my
parentage. I had a wonderful moth
er and father. For generations my
family were well-known military
people of Austria. I have one boy
who serves Germany. He is in the
crew of a submarine and 1 do not
know! He may be alive to-day, he
may not. My little grandchildren
over there are in need. They have
only what 1 can do for them and I
cannot get letters through. It is so
sad, so terrible but the good God
must have a reason for it all. AVe
cannot understand. My husband, the
lather of my children, died fourteen
years ago. I made an unfortunate
marriage after that but for six years
I have been free. I am glad because
no one can influence mte now not to
give, give, give of the money 1 can
make for my boys' good. I have
bought Liberty bonds, yes, but I have
given a good deal to the order of the
Knights of Columbus (I am a Ro
man Catholic), and to the Y. M. C. A.
Do you know, I think that is the most
wonderfully good thing in this coun
try? Oh, what a help it is to them,
what a comfort and inspiration! Too
much cannot be said of it or done
for it. Listen to me. The Liberty
bonds would sell faster if some of t he
horrible stories being carried about
the county by speechmakers were
left untold. I am not a German but
I have lived for years in their coun
try and I know the people. I tell
you they are not the sort to impale
infants upon the points of bayonets
for pleasure. They are cruel, I grant
you, but to adults. The Germans
reverence childhood. Because a few
officers are beasts, should the whole
nation be counted so? If I should
make you angry or you me, we would
fight it out between ourselves but
without hate in our hearts, with only
sorrow and love."
I.ov<?8 Her Children
"But you are so big hearted, so
broad minded and simple like the
really great people of the world al
ways are that you would find it dif
ilcult," ventured her interviewer.
Madame Schumann-Heink raised a
modest hand in protest.
"I great? Why, I am not learned.
I am only a singer and a mother, I
love my children so much that I want
all the world to love them, too, and
be kind to them and so 1 just love
everybody for their sakes."
A few years ago one of the sons
developed weak lungs. This "simple
mother" sent him to California and
then bought a cattle ranch for him
in Arizona. Here he regained his
health and recently passed the gov
ernment test.
"When I received word that he
was accepted, that he was well and
strong, it hurt but I wrote to him as
I jolly a letter as I could and told him
to use his two good lungs to light for
Uncle Sam and to cheer as loud as
ever he could with them when he
saw our flag," she said.
Yet there are some who dare ac
cuse this woman of pro-German sen
timents!
"Oh, those camps where our Amer
ican boys are training! You have no
idea what they are. Sometimes it
goes like wildfire down the streets of
them, 'Schumann-Heink is with us'
and they crowd around me and call
me 'Mother, Mother Schumann.
Heink.' God!" throwing wide her
arms, "I could give them every cent
I have. I could die for them inch
by inch!"
"The great singer has found time,
during her busy life to give birth to
six sons and two daughters. When
spoken to about it she smiled.
"I sang one hour before my first
baby came," she said, "and I was in
concert nine days afterward. It was
necessary. We were so poor I needed
food for my little family as they
came along. Their father was a good
man but not well. He was an in
valid for then years before his death.
He was a Mason. Surely you know
of that order? Often I pleased him
by singing at their entertainments
in those early days.
"A few years ago I closed the
eyes of one of my boys, a grown man
of twenty-eight, and I thought I
knew trouble and sorrow," the brave
voice broke, "but it was nothing
compared to to-day! Yet no tears.
We must -be strong. We must. We
must. So much depends upon vis
women but there is always the pain
in the heart."
Give Tiads Ideal
Madame Schumann-Heink thinks
it wronk to instill hate into the hoys
in training.
"Why tell tales which lower the
dignity of an enemy?" she asked.
"Give our lads instead a high Ideal
for which to fight, not with hatred In
their hearts but with determination
to win for the world what is true,
high and noble."
"If the war is not over by spring,
when my engagements shall be com
pleted, I am going over there, to the
trenches with our American boys.
What does life hold for me? All my
babies, my big, beautiful boys are at
war. When my daughter's husband
went I was in the house and it
nearly broke my heart to see him
stoop over the cradle to kiss his lit
tie one goodby—perhaps forever.
Yet no tears! Only smiles and brave
words would I allow."
"But if you go, what will your
public do? Can your voice not com
fort and help the sorrowing mothers
of America?"
"That may be. but think of their
feelings when they can say, "Schu
mann-Heink has gone to them. Sh*
will love them and mother them and
sing to them for us.' "
It came as a shock to the great
singer to hear that without her
knowledge she had been booked to
virtually repeat the concert she gave
at her last Harrisburg appearance.
"Oh, what can be done? I did not
understand and /low the printing is
out and it is too late!" she cried.
"Please do not let them think I
would treat them so intentlonallv."

HAJRJRISBURG t&sfs&fi. TELEGR.VPH
MADAM SCHUMANN-HEINK
TO RELATIVES OF SOLDIDRS
—JJ
Mme. Schumann-Heink was perhaps never more gracious
than during her visit to this city yesterday. More than a
thousand women who gathered in the Orpheum Theater
were signally honored by her presence. She was met at
the Pennsylvania station by Mayor J. William Bowman,
and was hurried to the theater. Advancing to the platform
just as she came from the train, Schumann-Heink captured
every heart in the audience.
"Dear Mothers and Daughters of Harrisburg," began the
great contralto singer, "I shall make you a little speech
to-day, but I am a very poor talker. There is one subject
upon which I can talk—l am a mother. There are so many
camps in which we have boys, and these boys are often
homesick. Women are not heroes, but in this war we have
to be. I have four sons serving Uncle Sam—l have one, it
he is alive—over there." Her voice broke, and it was a
moment before she proceeded.
"I sing not for my pocketbook. I sing to help Uncle
Sam and our wonderful country. I know nothing about
politics. I am simply an old-fashioned mother. We must
send cheer to our boys at the front. Just a little thing, for
they are homesick. Something plain, maybe, which the
mothers make—a wristling—is that the word? iCfy English
is not very good, it is my own English.
"We, mothers, must help our boys that they go out to
their death, if need be, with a smile. I have a son whose
wife was a little New York society girl. They are on a big
ranch. lie was called to his camp on a twelve-hour notice.
Now his little wife is a cattlegirl. Some mothers do no.t like
their daughter-in-laws. I am awfully proud of my little
American girl.
"Look what the United States is. I am not a suffragist,
but this country is great as it is, through its women."
The mother-singer, who carries with her everywhere the
love and esteem of many nations, stood quite abashed while
the Rev. Dr. Bagnell told her, "Madame Schumann-Heink,
we have always been very proud of you, since you made
America your home."
MADAME SPEAKS
TO RELATIVES
[Conttimed from First Pag**.]
rlsburg if she can be the first city in
America to have such an organiza
tion—"Daughters of 1917."
Mr. Bowman introduced Captain
George F. Lumb, who spoke of the
women's work during the Spanish
War for the boys of California and
what material results followed; ot
what a home letter did for a trooper
under his care, curing him of his
thirst for liquor and making a man
of him.
The Mayor then presented Mr. Ed
ward Moeslein, a native of Germany
but to-day a loyal citizen of the land
of his adoption. He made a stirring
appeal to the patriotism and devo
tion of his audience, telling of his
experiences in the Franco-Prussian
War, where he took part in seven
teen different engagements.
"If the people of Germany could
only be allowed to understand," he
cried, "how we are fighting for them
as well as for ourselves fighting to
upbuild that house of Christian love
and fellowship begun by Christ, they
would dethrone their monarch and
join their cause to ours and their
glorious banner would lly from the
hilltops of the world proclaiming
eternal peace."
Dr. Bugnell read a message re
ceived from the Red Cross headquar
ters in Paris, urging the immediate
need of millions of surgical dressings
or our hospitals there wotild face
disaster and disgrace. Owiifg to the
submarine, many sent have never
been received. He was about to
launch into one of the splendid pa
triotic addresses for which he is be
coming locally famous when he was
interrupted by the arrival of Madanio
Schumann-Heink, who had come di
rectly from the depot to the theater
to add her word to the urging of the
organization of the soldiers women
folk. Still in her long fur coat and
traveling hat, she stepped out upon
the stage. The audience arose to
its feet with one accord as mother
hood recognized motherhood.
Duty Come* Flrnt
"Mothers, sisters of the boys at
the front," she said, "I am a bad
talker. I am only a mother and a
singer, but 1 have seen our boys in
the camps in many of them, and they
are most wonderful! They are good,
clean, brave—but they are homesick.
We women are not heroes but we
have to be. We must be. I have
four bovs serving Uncle Sam and one
over there if he is still alive—l
know not. I try to be brave. 1 sing,
not for my pocketbook but for them.
I do not know why this awful war is
allowed. I am just a plain, old
fashioned mother and cannot under
stand. To me duty is first. If some
of you mothers are too poor to send
your lads gifts, make a loaf of the
•bread they love for them. Write
cheerful letters and send them smiles,
not tears."
The great contralto then paid a
beautiful tribute to her daughter-in
law, who has taken up the burden
of running her husband's ranch that
he may be free for the service. She
spoke of the brave women of Ameri
can history and urged the ' modern
ones not to fall short of the great
example set them.
Dr. Bagtiell thanked Madame hchu
mann-Heink in a few appropriate
words before she left the building.
TcllM of Y. M. C. A. Work
E. J. Stackpole spoke of the work
of the Y. M. C. A. in the life of the
Army and resolutions were passed
for plans for a permanent organiza
tion of local women to "carry the
homes to our boys." Mrs. William
.lennings was appointed chairman ot\
a committee of ten to organize one
of the most beautiful and practical
forms of service which has grown
out of the tragedy of war.

MAKES GREATEST AP
PEAL, SAYS LILLIAN LORRAINE
Plain White Gingham Gown Wins
More Admirers Than Highly
Ornate Trappings
"Girls, if you would win a husband
and be happy ever after with one of
nature's noblemen, wear simple
gowns, discard jewelry, and let your
hair hang in ringlets."
• This Is the sage advice of Miss Lil
lian Lorraine, and her words should
be heeded because she speaks as one
who knows.
In other words, Miss Lorraine, the
very attractive young woman who is
the leading comedienne in the Nor
worth and Shannon musical revue,
"Odds and Ends of 1917," playing an
engagement at the Orpheum, Monday
evening, reasserts once more the old,
familiar adage that "Rags are royal
royal raiment, etc.," and that "True
hearts are more than coronets, and
simple faith than Norman blood," or
something like that.
For the astonishing truth is hereby
promulgated for the first time, that
Miss Lorraine has probably received
more proposals of marriage than any
leading woman on the American
stage.
If clothes, jewels, paint and powder
and the art of the modiste and the
hairdresser can upholster the aver
age beautiful woman until she ap
pears fairly radiant when behind the
footlights—and if all this trouble and
expense fail to win a single proposal
—then what is the use?
Meanwhile, a frail miss of 19, look
ing like a schoolgirl, her hair in long
curls, her youthful beauty framed in a
rustic setting with only a simple
white dress to emphasize her natural
attractions, romps off with the great
matrimonial, and engagement handi
cap to stakes, without an effort.
Evidently the modern man believes
In going back to nature and wooing
sweet simplicity.
Not that Miss Lorraine has suc
cumbed to any of the alluring pro
posals. She is really embarrassed over
the attention she has been receiving.
MISSIONARY SERVICE.
The W. M. A. of the Boas Street
U. B. Church will hold their an

A splendid, interesting program
has been arranged, of which the fol
lowing is a part: Principle address
given by Mrs. Dewitt Fry; reading,
by Miss Esther Smith. The musical

John Adams; anthem by choir, vocal

EAT LESS AND
WASTE NO FOOD,
IS HOOVER PLAN
j
The Cause of Common Hu-1
inanity Is Back of Great
Economical Campaign
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 27.—"The gov
ernment of the United States is ask
ing every citizen of the country to
eat less teef, pork, pork products, i
wheat, batter and sugar, and to
waste na foodstuffs, as an act of com
mon defense."
This is the explanation given to
! dt/>' by Herbert C. Hoover, food >.d
--: ministrator, of the meaning of the
national food pledge week which I c- \
gins to-morrow and continues until!
November 4. Half a million can- j
vespers are ready for the campaign
! to induce at least thirteen million of
] tho country's twenty-two million
housewives to sign the pledge to
conserve food during the war.
Must Save to Win
"Owing to the large failure of the
harvest in France and Italy, and the
inability to send the world's ship
ping to remote markets, said Mr.
Hoover, "we have thrust upon us a
large duty in providing foodstuffs for
them than we are capable of execut
ing, unless we can reduce the con
sumption of these foodstuffs in the
United States. If we cannot secure
this reduction in consumption, we
cannot maintain them constant in
the war. If we fail, the western line
will move to the Atlantic seaboard.
"Furthermore, the problem of
ameliorating the prices to the Amer
ican consumer is entirely involved in
our ability to supply the allied needs
and still leave us a sufficiency at
home. If we accept the alternative
of maintaining the allies in the war
from our supplies, without savings,
we shall have shortages in the Unit
ed States that make any hope of
price control absolutely futile.
"It is therefore, in the interest cf
every American man, woman and
child in the United States that we
should accomplish these ends—first
in his personal defense and protec
tion, and second—in the interests of
his pocketbook.
"Beyond all this, and greater than
this, is the question of common hu
manity. There are now millions of
women and children in Europe solaly
dependent upon us for foodstuffs and
if he had no other reason it should
appeal to every individual in the
United States to sacrifice something
in the name of common humanity."
GREAT SAVING.
"There's one thing I never ceas<
to congratulate myself about."
"What is that?"
"You don't need tires for the stew
lng wheel."

" WANTED—A table and three chairs, also dishes and
ice chest; need not be new if in good condition
Can you imagine how you'd go scurring out to the storeroom to look up
"that old stuff out there" if you thought you could get $4, $5, or $lO cash
for it?
But why wait till somebody comes and rings the bell and asks the ques
tion? Hundreds of people "want three chairs," hundreds want a table, too,
and dishes, and coffee pots, and urns, and hall racks, and linoleum, and odds
and ends of carpet, valises, trunks, suit cases, stoves, cutlery, furniture,
himjjs, everything you can think of.
There's always a demand and a fair price (if you reach the actual buy
ers themselves), and the only way and the sure way to reach them is by a
TELEGRAPH CLASSIFIED AD. You can make dollars (and now-days
dollars count) out of your put-away-old-things—if you want to and even
one ad will prove it. Make up a list and try it—to-day.

While there is complaint from many
quarters that the farmers have been
slow to respond to the call of the
Liberty Loan, attention is called to
the fact that little Perry county, with
much of its population rural, lias
bought bonds worth $125 for every
man, woman and child in the coun
try.
Cumberland county has made a
good showing. The city of Carlisle
has contributed liberally to the suc

Company No. T, of the Twenty

proud, having led the division. This

thusiastic and consistent workers.
These cheered the leaders to the echo
in the remarkable parade that signal
ized the achievement of over four
millions for Harrisburg.
What has pleased the people of
Harrisburg as much as anything else
regarding this campaign is the fact
that it emphasizes once more the
community spirit which pervades
every important movement that has
to do with the city and its people.
There was a lot of ginger throughout
the campaign and a lot of patriotism
as well. The same spirit was shown
in the great meeting of the women nt
the Orpheum Theuter yesterday af
ternoon. Here, too, was the spirit
of service and the hundreds of wo
men present pledged their efforts in
making successful the war work cam
