of Turkish and Bulgarian soldiers

ing Italy. New arrivals of fresh
troop^ from all the central powers,
including Austria, Germany, Bul
garia and Turkey are joining the
invading battle front every flay
and are bringing with them large
quantities of materials and artill
ery indicating that the aggressors
intend to greatly increase their j
forces which are already battering

national protective defenses. tier

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa., Nov.
6.—An explosion occurred thus
morning in the powder plant of the
Aluminum Bronzing Company of
this city with fatal results. One
man is dead, four are fatally

from serious injuries are the result
of the explosion which is supposed
to have been brought about by an
incendiary whose purposes were to
put the plant out of commission'.
The men killed and injured were
employes at work in the plant and
great indignation is felt as a result
of the outrage. The fire which pre
ceded the explosion wa-i set or ori
ginated in the bronzing department

wreck their other properties.
USE CAVALR
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.—
An official cablegram from the Ital
ian capital at Rome would indicate
that reports of intensified infantry
fighting in Northern Italy are
greatly exagerated. General Corsi,
one of the highest military critics
and authorities on war matters
point,, out the extensive use of the
cavalry arm by both armies and
contends with much show of reason
that the use of cavalry is practic
able only when the massed bulk of
opposing armies are still far re
moved from each other, and argues
from this premise that the panicky
reports in circulation yesterday are
due to the fact that no
body in Italy expected
the retirement of General CadornaV?
army before the enemy for so great
a distance. In short the General
accounts for ihe great alarm of the
people by the fact that they had not
accustomed themselves to the
thought of the wholly unexpected
German invasion.
BERLIN, Nov. 6.—This capital
is elated by the report just issued
from the war which claims a great
victory for the Austro-German
force*; in crossing the Tagliamento
river in Northern Italy, it being re
presented that the achievement
was in reality accomplished against
great odds. It was also claimed
• that fifty thousand Italian prisoners
were taken in the first battle on the
Tgaliamento.
