Action Kbits uiul Howl William Marconi, inventor of the wireless, has arnived ,at headquar ters and taken a place on the staff of General Diaz, eommander-in-chiet. Tile action ebbs and flows around the slopes of low mountains just west of the river—Monte Tetnlia, Monte Monfenera and Monte Cor.iella. Monte Monfera is just on the edga of the river and It Is here that some of the most desperate lighting has occurred. It is the key to the situa tion, as at that point the rivor turns into the Venetian plains, and the whole battle hinges on control of the river passage leading to the plains. The flrpt assaults began five days ago, when Von Beulow's Germans on icwer Piave were swung northward for this supreme blow. The attack has been intensified steadily each day until yesterday and to-day, when they reached the maximum. Infantry in Waves Beginning with artillery prepara tion, the Austro-German infantry ad vances came in successive waves, first at the northernmost mountain, Cornelia, where the Como brigade of Italians held the line until crowded back by greatly superior numbers. The enemy then took positions back of the town of Quero and violent artillery and infantry attacks were centered on Monfenera and Tomba. Much of the lighting in the moun tains was at close quarters, with bayonet charges and desperate hand to-hand struggles, along an extended front. Through Monday, Tuesday and to-day charge followed charge and counterattack followed attack. In some of the bloodiest fighting ground has changed hands three or four times. At the little village of Naranzine, on the slopes of Monte Monfenera, i the enemy first gained lodgment and | pought to surround the large Italian j force, but was thrown back by a i splendid rally of the Italian lines, which swept forward with cheeks until the position was cleared. It | was the bloodiest kind of fighting, i with bayonet first and then with bayonets wrenched from their sock ets and used as double-edged knives. Fna bated Fury Again the enemy massed forces higher up Monte Monfenera, backed oy batteries concentrated from all points. Before this intense shellfire the Italian infantry gave ground slowly until tlie upper slopes were abandoned. But the righting goes on with unabated desperation. The conduct of the Italian troops is above all praise. They ard con testing every foot of the way, 'fight ing like tigers and with spirit and confidence, even in the face 01 greatly superior numbers. The battle in the mountainous re gion in the north, between the Piave and Bretna rivers, is nearing its culmination.

It was contend ed by counsel for Wendt that he was a degenerate, 'but the District Attorney said that the murder was characterized by cold-blooded bru tality. in the case of Robert Alex ander, Cumberland, sentenced for burglary, it developed that he had been convicted for another cinne clmmitted while on parole. The con tention was made that his first sen tence was so severe that he should bepardoned after serving a part of the second. The mother of D. O. Downing, Clearfield, sentenced to from two to five years for assault with intent to kill', offered to take him to her farm in Blair county if he was released. The board held the case under ad visement, pending information front men interested in the case. VORI OIJv KXIHIIISES MANAGER HUMS Norfolk, Nov. 22. By overwhelm ing majority, yesterday, the voters of Norfolks endorsed a new charter, providing for the city manager form of government, similar to that in force in Dayton. Ohio. The charter requires approval by the state legislature, which meets in January. Grappa, and has become a struggle of giants. It is now clear that, notwithstand ing.the great number of troops em ployed by the enemy and his ad vantages of terrain, he is able to advance only very slowly now that he is not being assisted by the ele ment of surprise, by treason and other circumstances which favorea him at first. Even if the Italians should be obliged to abandon the Piave river line they may be expected to fall back more slowly and offer more tenacious opposition. Berlin , Nov. 22.—Via London. — The supinuts of Monte Kontana and Monte Spinucca, on the northern Italian front between the Brenta and Piave rivers have been captured, it is announced officially. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH TffiPITZ REGRETS AMERICA'S ENTRY INTO WORLD WAR Says Germans Will Be Suc cessful if They "Stick to Their Guns" < Amsterdam, Nov. 22.—"America's entry into the war is disadvantageous to us in moral and many other ways," said Admiral von Tirpitz, former German minister of marine, in ad dressing a meeting of the Fatherland party at Dresden. "We ought to have reckoned with the fact that the American trust magnates were bound to desire bur defeat. "I regret we did not remain firm in the face of President Wilson's throats. If we had done so things probably would have been very dif ferent, but now we must take them as they are. "I would point out, however, that from> a military viewpoint America's entry .into the war Is of little signifi cance to us, because it is the tonnage question that is decisive." The admiral expressed regrets that Germany had been late in using that "powerful economic weapon," the U-boat, but said that notwithstand ing all the counter measures which the delay gave Britain time to de velop. the Germans would be success ful if they stuck to their guns. 1 1847 ROGERS BROS.
