The Germans have retreated from points along the historic Che min des Dames sector on the Aisne front in France, where for several months the French troops of Gen eral Petain had been keeping them sharply to task. .

Just where the retrograde movement took place and how far it extends can not yet be ;old. as the German official communication announcing it merely says that the Teutons, "unnoticed and undisturbed by the enemy" systemat ically withdrew theirlines from the hilly front in this region.

Further Retirement Probable. ' , Nevertheless it seems apparent that the Germans, tired of the terrible or deal they have been forced to undergo for some time from the French artillery and violent infantry attacks, have de cided to fall back upon Laon, capital of the Department of the .Aisne, which with its network of railways has been the quest of the French, xt is possi ble, and seeming probable, that the withdrawal of the Germans will com pel also the falling back of the Ger man forces in the. turn of the battle line in this region, running northward to SL Quentin if indeed it does not affect the German positions as far north as Arras.

Italy Is Welded Together With New Patriotic Spirit Men Everywhere Are Clamoring t o Go to the Front Troublemakers Who a Few Weeks Ago Wanted to Quit War Either Are, in Hiding or Are Hastening to Admit Their Error Rome, Thursday, Nov. 1. Italy is undergoing a rebirth of patriotism. Everywhere men are clamoring to go to the front. Even the Garibaldi vet erans have marched in a body to offer their lives on their country's altar. Thousands of younger veterans of the present war, interned in hospitals or invalied home, are insisting on return ing to their commands. The troublemakers who two weeks ago said they were tired" of the "war and who were willing to listen to German agents, now either are in hid ing are hastening to admit that they were misled. The new ministry is busy organiz AOTO PRODUCTION. BE GUT Manufacturers Discuss With In dustries Board the Conscrip tion of Industries GIVE FULL CO-OPERATION Government's Plan is to Divert Part of Each Plant to the Manufacture of ( Material Necessary to War. Washington, Nov. 2. Conscription of industries to supply the needs of the army was discussed today by the War Industrial Board with automobile and accessories manufacturers who pledged their full co-operation to the govern ment in whatever is necessary to win the war. The plan is to divert a part of each plant to the production of war ma terial It was made plain to the manu facturers today that while their help is required, the government has no in tention of taking any drastic action which would cripple the industry. To day's conference Is the first of many to be held withmakers of goods non essential to the carrying on of the war. All such industries probably will be called upon to curtail the production of everything not made a direct con tribution ,to the nation's fighting effi ciency, in conserving coal and raw ma terial and in relieving the strain on the transportation system. Curtailment of production of motor vehicles was said to have been taken up first because of the manufacturers' voluntary offer of co-operation, because of the highly organized nature of the industry and because the problem of obtaining raw materials also used in the manufacture of munitions had be come serious for the automobile ma kers. The extent of the decrease in production, probably will be "very sub stantial," to be effected . gradually as portions of the plans are diverted to the manufacture of shells, airplanes and other war necessities. Particular attention was paid today by the question of employing men now at work in factories where products may be curtailed and it was stated au thoritatively that no action will be ta ken in any case until a definite plan has been formulated as to how the la bor affected is to be employed in the home territory, thereby preventing costly and disorganized migrations. . Figures quoted showed that the value of automobiles and accessories pro duced during the past year was nearly two and a half billion dollars and that the industry employed, approximately one million men, who supported five per cent of the country's population. WOULDN'T PLAY NATIONAL ANTHEM; MUSICIAN RESIGNS Boston, Mass.. Nov. 2. The resigna tion of Dr. Carl Muck, conductor of the Boston symphony orchestra, who had been criticised for not playing the Star Spangled Banner at a recent con, cert In. Providence, was announced by Major Henry L. Higginson at a concert this afternoon. It also was announced that the na tional anthem would be played at all concerts.'

The business will be handled hereafter only by the Food Administration: ; ' - AY OWN ing the country on a better war basis and seeing that the army's war needs are met with. The fact that King Victor Emanuel has returned to the army shows how confident he is in the spirit of the country, since he always remains in Rome during critical pe riods.

Police man's Action Incensed Ne groes and Caused Riots IDENTIFIES 3 OF ACCUSED Corporal On Military Duty Abused by Houston Officer Wfcen the Latter Was Asked Why He Arrested Negro Soldier. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 2. Positive identification of three negroes of the Twenty-fourth infantry who partici pated in the Houston riot August 23, which resulted in the death of 22 per sons, was made today by Captain Haig Shekerjain, of the 24th infantry, testi fying at the court-martial of 63 ne groes charged with mutiny, murder and rioting. - The "shooting up" of Houston, ac cording to Captain Shekerjian'a testi many, was precipitated by the action of Policeman Sparks, in abusing Cor poral Charles "gp.ltlmoore, of the 24th infantry, when he' arrested him on the streets of Houston on the afternoon preceding the night of the outbreak. At the time of Baltimoore's arest, the witness testified, Baltimoore was on military duty and wore a police badge that was plainly visible to Policeman Sparks. The trouble started, Captain Shek erjian testified, when Baltimoore ask ed Policeman Sparks why he arrested a negro member of the 24th infantry. Baltimoore, according to Shekerjian said Sparks "cursed him" and told him it was "none of his business." Bal timoore then told Sparks that he was on guard duty and would have to re port to' his commanding officer why the soldier had been arrested. To this, according to the witness, Sparks re plied he did not have to tell "a nig ger," and hit him on the head twice with his pistol. Baltimoore then ran down the street and into a- house while . Sparks fired three shots after him. Baltimoore took refuge under a bed, Sparks fol lowing, pulling him out and striking him twice more with his pistol. Bal timoore then was taken to jail. Mean time the report reached Camp Logan that Baltimoore had been shot and killed. This incensed the negro troops, Shekerjian testified, and notwithstand ing the fact-that they were later told that Baltimoore was not killed, they mutined, went to Houston and shot up the town. Sparks Was Suspended. Major Snow, he said, sent him into the city to investigate. He conferred with Chief of Police Brock, in whose office Baltimoore arid Sparks told their stories, Sparks saying that Baltimoore used insulting language to him. An officer with Sparks at the time denied this, the witness said. v Chief -Brock then suspended Sparks. Captain Shekerjian took Baltimoore to camp, he said, instructing him en route to belittle the whole affair. At camp, Shekerjian said, he called all the first sergeants into his tent and explained that Sparks would be pun ished and instructed the non-commissioned officers to explain the situation fully to the -men at "retreat." "Major Snow had previously. cancelled all passes for the night, he said. Shekerjian said that later in the evening he learned the negro soldiers were obtaining ammunition and seem ed' possessed with the idea that a mob of -Houston civilians was coming to the camp. "I pushed.

(By The Associated Press). The immensi ty of the convulsion through which the Italian army is passing makes in dividual impressions count for little. Yet, as an eye-witness at the extreme front up to the day of retirement and then as a participant in the retreat to the new position westward, the correspondent's experience "is typical of those of hundreds of persons that the army removed from the danger zone. It can be stated that we were situ ated ' with General Cadorna and the General . Staff. His sturdy, figure was often seen -as he went to and from the front where the Duke of Aosta, commander of the Third army, and General Capello, commander of the Second army, were in personal charge of the walli-of steel that the Italians had erected .inside Austrian territory. Nearby at that time was the official station where our dispatches were1 rigidly scrutinized. The ' whole city was given up to the supreme military administration, with the streets crowd ed with all ranks of soldiery. This gives a glimpse of the scene which changed . with such suddenness when the . crisis came ; last Friday night. From that hour the corres VQXL&sstfy&tor Vake frequerit- notesv from which the entries should give the main sequence of events. At noon' on. Friday there was a suc cession of air raids, i The alarm was sounded by triple gongs, followed by sirens a"nd . bells. The streets were cleared,! the shops were closed and business was suspended. The first definite information was thus given that the Austro-Germans had crossed the Isonzo in a huge of fensive. Friday night the gravity of the situation led to the consideration of a retirement of the army and the removal of the headquarters westward. The commander of the troops in this section read to them with emotion. Gen. Cadorna's stirring appeal to the soldiers to stand firm, and all joined in loyal shouts of: "Long live Italy." Saturday morning the correspond ent was summoned at daybreak and informed that all must leave at once, as the headquarters had been remov ed." The railway was given over to the troops, artillery and stores. - Pri vate trains and the telegraph had been suspended. All sorts of vehicles and horses were' impressed for military requirements.

MUNITIONS FACTORIES Several Tons of Explosives Drop ped by British Airmen German Billets and Airdromes Behind the Lines in Flanders Also At tackedNumber of Machines ' Are Missing. London, Nov. 1. German munitions factories in Bavaria have been attack ed by British airplanes, a substitute official . statement issued tonight says. British airmen also dropped bombs ,on German billets and airdromes behind the lines in Flanders. The statement reads: "On Wednesday a"d vantage was tak en of the changes in the weather and both our own and enemy airplanes were in the air all day. The -visibility was not very good for artillery work, but a great deal of bombing was car- nea out by our machines and many photographs were taken. "The airplanes also co-operated suc cessfully in a raid carried out by our infantry yesterday afternoon northeast of; Loos, reported? in last night's offi cial statement, firing several thousand rounds, from their machine guns and dropping bombs on -hostile troops in the communication trenches. . ,' "During the day five tons of bombs were dropped by us on Roulers, caus ing fires and explosions, and on many hostile billets.'

'i '':'; INTO con 0 III AVAR BOMBED War Strained Russia Will Still Fight, But the Allies Must Take Up the Burden Petrograd, Nov. 1. In view of re ports reaching Petrograd that the im pression was spreading abroad that Russia was virtually out of the war, Premier Kerensky discussed the pres ent condition of the country frankly today with The Associated Press. He said Russia was worn out by the long strain, but that it was i ridiculous t to say the country was out of the war. The premier referred to the yeas In which Russia - had fought her own campaigns alone, with no such assis tance as has been extended to France by Great Britain and now by Ameri ca. He said he felt help was needed urgently and that Russia asked it as her right. He urged that the United States give aid in the form of money and supplies and appealed to the world not to lose faith in the Russian revolution. Russia, M. Kerensky added, was tak ing, an enormous part In the struggle and those who said she was out of it must have short memories. "Russia has fought consistenly since the beginning. She saved France and England- from disaster early in the war. She is now worn out by the strain and claims as her right that the allies now shoulder the burden. "At present Russian public opinion STEPS TO SOLVE Defense Council Recommends Gov ernment Aid in Providing Homes for Workmen ORGANIZATION JS JR0P0SED Would Administer Funds and Conduct . Real Estate and Building Business Base Contracts On Housing Situation. Washington, Nov. 2. Government aid, financial and othrwise, in quickly relieving . the housing problem which ill many communities is hindering war work, is recommended in-a report to the National Defense Council by its committee on housing.- - The report, made public today, has the approval of President Wilson. The committee asserts that an or ganization of "reasonable permanency and authority" is necessary to quick ly and effectively administer such funds as may be available for housing purposes and it recommends ' that the organization be granted powers to con duct building operations to deal in real estate and securities and to bor row and loan money. The committee further suggests that the government loan funds for hous ing at low rates of Interest to. those communities which can show the need of - this form of aid. It also recom mends that i n future government agencies making war contracts give due consideration to the labor supply and housing conditions and that fu ture contracts be distributed as far as possible, to prevent undue concentra- tion of workers in any one locality. FIRST OF NEW PLANES HAS PROVEN A SUCCESS I American Air Fighters Will Soon Be Coming1 From Many Factories at a Rapid Rate. Washington, Nov. 2. The first fight ing airplane, wholly made In America of American materials, has taken the air in successful test flights. In mak ing this fact known today officials , of the aircraft production board said few changes in the design of either the plane or the "Liberty motor" are be lieved necessary and that production In quantity of the fighting machines soon will be in progress in many factories. By July, the government expects to be able to supply any demand for ma chines which, United States forces in Europe will need when spring comes aya halnir hiiilt Abroad American engineers expect that the w aircraft' program can be made what ever the allies require, originally the figures were set at 50,000 motors and 22,000 planes by July 1. ' 4,64140 HAVE SIGNED UP. Total of 633,000 Pledge Cards Sisrned as Yesterday's - Record. Washington, Nov. 2. Signing of more than 632,000 pledge cards during the day was reported to the Food Ad ministration . tonight by voluntary workers throughout the country who are enlisting housewives for food con servation.' This brought the . total for the week to 4,641,190. Final figures of the week's campaign probably will not be known for several days after 'the week i over. .:. From seven states there have: come only un official estimates : and they have not been recorded. . The food, administra tion hopes the j campaign willibrlng, at least iu,uuu,vtfw signatures. , HOUSING PROBLEM is greatly agitated by the question: Where is the great British fleet now that the German fleet is out in the Baltic?' " "Russia," the Premier repeated, "is worn out. She has been fighting one and a half years longer than England." "Could an American army be of use if sent to Russia?" "It would be impossible to send one," said Kerensky. "It is a question of transport. The difficulties are too great." "If America cannot send troops, what would be the most useful way for her to help Russia?" he was ask ed. "Have her . send boots, leather, iron and," the Premier added with empha sis, "money.". "ANOTHER" GERMAN MUTINY. Three Officers and Number of Sailors Were Killed. London, Nov. 2. -Three officers and a number of sailrs f the German navy were killed in "another" mutiny at Kiel early in September, according to a dispatch from Amsterdam to the Daily Express, 'which claims to have authentic details. The outbreak oc curred aboard the battleships Kron prinz and Schleswig-Holstein, and started when the men revolted against being drafted into the submarine ser vice. DOES RUSSIA WANT GOLD OR SUPPLIES? Formal Request for Transporta tion of the Metal From America May be Made A.rNEW- LO NU Kb ADVANCED Shipment of Gold to One of the Allies Would Set a Precedent and Would Be Adverse to the American Policy. Washington, Nov. 2. Premier Ker ensky's statement that America's most I effective help to Russia would be the : sending .of money was regarded here as forecasting possible formal request for the transportation of gold to Rus sia, but it was thought more likely that what the premier had in mind was the establishment of credits here to be expended in the purchase of sup plies to be shipped to Russia. "Have her send boots," the premier was quotea as saying-in response iu . - . J. question as to how America coma nei best, "leather, 1on and" (with empha sis) "money." . Sending of actual money out of the country to any of the allies would es tablish a precedent here and would be diametrically opposite to the Amer ican government's ' present policy which aims at the conservation of the huge store of gold piled up since the War started. As a means of making such conservation effective, gold was placed by presidental proclamation on the list of commodities which must be licensed for export and the Federal i Reserve Board, under Secretary Mc j Adoo's supervision, has announced a policy of holding gold exports to the minimum. American gold, officials asserted to day, can do Russia more good if it remains in this country. There is un animity of opinion among officials that Russia's need would have to be supreme to warrant the actual trans portation across the ocean of a ship ment of American gold of any consid erable amount. The American government apparent ly is willing to grant further requests for credit. It has granted Russia's requests with alacrity in the past and Secretary McAdoo has announced re peatedly that the Treasury would place money wherever it would be most effective in fighting Germany. So expeditiously has the Treasury acted in establishing Russian credits that until today Russia had not ex pended the first of three credits es tablished for her benefit in this coun try, totaling $325,060,000. The formal transfer today to Russian account of $31,700,0.00 from the Treasury to the Federal Reserve bank of New Tork brought the total she has withdrawn up to 1190.900,000, or ?i ,i,3',uuv more , , t . , than tne nrst crean ui eranted her. There still remains available for Russian expenditures of munitions, leather, iron, railway equipment and other needed commodities, $154,100, 000 without the authorization -of. an other credit and there is every indica tion that if another credit were needed it would be granted ; promptly.

The capsizing of one of the boats in launching might account for the drown ing of the men. It is assumed that two of the armed guard were killed by the explosion of the torpedo and that the missing one' probably was blown overboard by the explosion, as was a seaman on the de stroyer Cassln when she was torpedoed recently.
