SQHOOL COMMITTEES.
New Hanover Committeemen Meet at
Court House Tonight.
The school committeemen from ev
ery district in New Hanover county
will hold a meeting tonight at 8 o'clock
at the Court House for the purpose, of
discussing questions relative to school
problems. This is in line with the
policy of Superintendent of Public In
struction Prof. Washington Catlett,
who believes that teachers should
meet and talk their opinions over with
each other.
Prof. John J. Blair, of the city
schools, will attend the meeting and
all who are interested in matters of
education are invited to attend.
miles below. The fighting has been
of the most desperate character and
while the enemy has paid dearly for
his successes, the -Italian losses also
have been very heavy.
An eye witness from the scene of
operations gave the correspopndent
details of the extent and bloody nature
of the carnage. Enemy reserves were
poured in until the Italians were far
! outnumbered. They continued to
struggle desperately, however, and in
one case a small detachment of Ber-
saglieri met the shock of an entire
Austrian regiment. Austrian Kaiser- s
jaegers displayed unprecedented fe- EE
rocity, using stilettos as well as bay- 2
onets in hand-to-hand fighting.
But the greatest single instance of
heroism and loss was in the case of E
several detachments of Alpini, which E
held Monte Castelgomberto y against E
overwhelming odds until surrounded E
completely. Thus encircled they made 3j"
repeated charges, but the heavy sur-
rounding lines held and the entire par-'E
ty was still on the mountain when the E
remainder of the Italian line fell back. f:
In another case, one brigade of Ber-!"
saglieri lost a great number of offi
cers and men in the same proportion.
The extent of the enemy reserves is
shown by their concentration in the
average amount of a division for every"
kilometre. These divisions have been
identified as the sixth, nineteenth,
twenty-first, forty-fifth and fifty-second,
in. addition to others, not. .identi
fied, and a number of German battal
ions. The artillery fire also has been
the heaviest since the new Italian line
was formed.
Conditions this morning were virtu-j
ally unchanged. Much . depends . upon
the ability of the Italians to hold the
passes to which they have now re
tired commanding the Brerita valley,
and the plains.
