Small rains have been reported for the Teutons on the northern front and one point along the southern reaches of the Piave river. Enemy Suffers Reverses. On the Asiago plateau, where it was feared the invaders might break tirough the Italian line and force a i retirement of the armies guarding the western bank of the Piave, the enemy igain has met with several severe re verses, the Italians meeting- Rigorous attacks and repelling them with se rious losses. Indeed, near Ganove, to the west of Asiago, feo strong and bril liantly executed was the Italian coun- ;er thrust that the forces - of General Kai even were able to liberate' Ital ians who had been cantured hv the I Aistro-German army Jn the attemot- Id flanking operations before the Ital ian line was stiffened last week.

"Washington, Nov. 13. France's con fidence that the Teutonic drive into Ita ly has been stopped is expressed in a war office statement cabled today to the French embassy here. "The Germans have greatly exag gerated the importance of the Italian defeat," says the statement. "In real ity the Italian armies are far from be ing defeated. "The second army only has seriously suffered. On the 24th of October a vio lent offensive of the Germans between Prezzo and Tolmlno took the positions of the' Kolovlst and gained the high valleys of Judrio and Natisone. On the 25th and 26th after the loss of Matajur and Mont Magior, the second army ex ecuted a retreat under the protection of rear guards which comported them selves admirably and the retreat took place in good order. "The line of the Piave is actually solidly held. The Italian general staff is awaiting the enemy.

Washington, Nov. 13. The United States regards China's protest against the agreement with Japan as being in the nature of a declaration of prin ciple 'not necessarily fcalling for a re ply from this government. China's protest has given notice that she does not recognize as binding upon her agreements between other nations. The text of the memorandum hand ed Secretary Lansing by the Chinese minister was made public today at the State Department. It follows: "The government of the United States and the government of Japan have recently, in order to silence mis chievous reports, effected an exchange of notes at Washington concerning their desires and intentions with-re-gard to China. Copies of the said notes have been communicated to the Chinese government by the Japanese minister at Peking; and the Chinese government in order to avoid misun derstanding, hastened to make the following declaration so as to make known the views of;the government: "The principle adopted by the Chin ese government toward the friendly nations has always been one of justice and equality; and consequently the rights enjoyed by the friendly nations derived from the treaties have been constantly respected, and so even with the special relations between countries created by the fact of territorial con tiguity it Is only insofar as they have already been provided for in her ex isting treaties. "Hereafter the Chinese government will still adhere o the principes hith erto adopted, and hereby it is again declared that the Chinese government will not allow hersef to be bound by. any agreement entered into by other nations." . NEW YORK STATE WOMEN TO HOLD VICTORY" RALLY. New York, Nov. 13. A "victory" mass meeting in celebration of votes for women won in the recent election will be held November 20 on the eve of the opening of the 49th annual convention here of the New York State woman suffrage party. Women have already become an Im tont nniitical factor in the state. Governor Whitman, it is announced, is taking steps to extend to them the right to take part In the spring pri maries and Mayor-Eelect John P, Hy lan announces women will be named on the new board of education. It is re ported women also will be offered other important city positions by the new mayor. Soldiers Move South. Camp Dlx. Wrlghtstown, N. J..

They are part of the quota of .5,000 to be transferred from Camp Dix. PROBABLY MAKE cm the Drive front allow of better means of resist ance. "The English and French armies are in reserve behind. "The morale of the army has been strengthened and is becoming excellent. "The country, at first strongly shak en, is becoming more settled as the po litical parties are getting more united."

Secretary Baker indicated his opinion that the drive was primarily a political movement. This opinion is shared by numerous American officers and in some quarters it is believed a fourth peace offer is to be expected at any moment from German sources. It is suggested that it may come in some indirect fashion to be disclaimed in Berlin if it brings no results. Observ ers fail to see that the Teutonic offen (Continued on Page Two.)

New York. Nov. 13. Great Britain's declaration I n favor of the Zionist movement to establish a state for Jews in Palestine carries with it a proviso that the movement shall not in any way conflict with the rights of non Jewish communities now existing in Palestine, it was announced here to night by the provisional and Zionist committee. The full text of the British proposal, as cabled to tne committee, also provides that the movement, to be sanctioned by Great Britain must not affect the rights and political status enjnyed by Jews in any other country. The declaration was formally an nounced a few days ago by Arthur J. Balfour, secretary for foreign affairs. ANOTHER GAS WEIA STRUCK IN BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 13. Gas was struck in the second natural gas well In Birmingham district last night. The flow in the new well, while not yet ac curately determined, is considered as great is not greater than the first.

GERMANS UNSUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT SEVERAL RAIDS north. - west and east of Hheims last -ttts Germans, after lively bom bardments, carried out several raids," says today's official announcement. , .. ."Their efforts brought them no suc cess. Elsewhere the night was calm." DRIVE LAWFUL BUS Money and Property of Germans Not Violating Enemy Trade Act Not to be Seized REPORTS ARE MISLEADING Have Resulted in Heavy With drawals From Banks and Pos tal Savings Deposits Washington, Nov. 13. Heavy with drawals of bank and postal savings de posits by aliens in some localities caused A. Mitchell Palmer, alien prop erty custodian, to issue a formal state ment today reiterating assurances that the government has no intention of in terfering with the money or property of Germans or citizens of countries al lied with Germany living and doing lawful business in ths country. Mr. Palmer said many published statements regarding this matter had been so misleading as to give rise "to fear that they may have originated in a deliberate wish to disturb and Injure American business interests. No Cause for Alarm. "Reports have appeared in the press," said the statement, "with regard to the plans and purposes, of the alien prop erty custodian with respect to the property of aliens- residing in the United States which . have - caused un necessary and il.l-founded alarm. This alarm has led in localities to heavy withdrawals of postal savings and' bank deposits. . "The statement most calculated to mislead and cause uneasiness is to the effect that the fact that as to whether any one is an enemy or' the allyjof an enemy under the terms of tle. trading with the enemy act recently passed by congress-is one of residence or place of business or business connections rather than nationality fcrcitizeiMhlpi-i' Ubey the J-nw -That's Ail. "A subject of Germany or. of any of Germany's, allies residing In this coun try, even though he has "made no decla ration of his intention to become a cit izen, is permitted to continue In trade and commerce and to retan possession and control of his property while he remains in the United States and obeys i its laws and he is not regarded as an enemy nor placed in -that category by the trading with the enemy act. "The broad purpose of congress as expressed in the trading with the ene my act is, first, to preserve enemy owned property situated in the United States from loss; and secondly, to pre vent every use of it which may be hos tile or detrimental to the United States. Will Take Care of Property. "The trading wlthlhe enemy act au thorizes in certain cases a license to permit enemy-owned business to be car ried on. Where such license is not ap plied for or is not granted, the alien property custodian is directed to exer cise In regard to enemyowned property the welldefined authority of a common law trustee. Thus probably waste and loss of a great deal of valuable prop erty and property rights, which could not, while the war continues, be con served by the enemy owner, is avoided and a trustee appointed and paid for by the United States is charged with the duty of protecting and caring for such property until the end of the war. There is of course no thought of the confiscation or dissipation of the prop erty thus held in trust." ANOTHER LUGKENBAGH Five of Crew Killed, the Otherf Escaping in Boats Twenty-Four Survivors, Picked Up In An Exhausted Condition By a Dan ish 'Ship, Are Landed at An American Port. An Atlantic Port, Nov. 13. News of the destruction by a German subma rine of the ;American - steamer D. N. Luckenbach on October 27 was brought here today by 24 survivors of the crew.

STEAMER SEN ROW American Army Aviators In French Planes Drop Bombs On The Germans With the American Army in France, Nov. 13. (By the Associated Pressl American army aviators have partici pated in bombing raids over Germany and have been doing observation duty at various points of the battle line. The aviators are officers of the regu lar army, some of whom had been fly ing before the United States entered the war. Others of them are men who have been on duty at - training centers. On the bombing raids the Americans have been carried in French planes as bombers and observers and have been gaining a wealth of experience which in the future will assist them as well as the new members of the air ser vice who are arriving or are to ar rive. Some of the Americans were in sev eral recent raids in which bombs' were dropped on German positions of mili tary importance. In observation work the Americans have been acting both as observers and pilots, flying in French machines. This work has been doiae at many points but none of the has flown v over the sector where the American troops are entrenched. Numbers of French machines have been turned over to the Americans for their use, but thus far none of them has been Engaged ip. aerial fighting of importance. No casualties among the American airmen have been reported, although enemy airplanes have fired heavily upon .them. The allied officers are enthusiastic over the work of the young fliers and are of the unanimous opinion that they are combining the daring of the British fliers and the technique of the French airmen.

Taking Secret Vote STRIKE VOTE MAY FOLLOW; Average Increase of 42 Per Cent Will Be Asked and Would Mean An Ad dition of About S 108,000,000 to Payrolls. New York, Nov. 13. Demands for wage Increases averaging 42 per cent are involved in a secret vote being taken this week by conductors and brakemen on all railroads in the Unit ed States, it was learned in railroad circles here today. Advance copies of the demands have been received by eastern railroad: officials and it was ex plained that the vote now being taken is preliminary to a strike vote. It is estimated the proposed increase would mean an aggregate increase throughout the country of $109,000,000. According to the -information given railway officials the men in the move ment include 32,000 passenger train employes, 85,000 freight men and 53, 000 , yardmen, i The demands are said to, involve mileage rate increases of from. 20.6 per cent for conductors to 51.5 per cent for baggagemen. It is proposed to raise the minimum monthly basis for con ductors from $135 to $162.90 afcd for baggagemen from $82.50 to $116540. In through freight service the con ductors ask for an increase in the mileage rate of 32 1-2 per cent and the brakemen 42.T per cent. Local freight conductors demand an increase of 28.9 . per cent, and brakemen 43 per cent in their mileage rates. The de mands for yard conductors and brake men involve an increase of 44 per cent in daily rates of pay. TOYS IN ABUNDANCE. "Made In AJmerlca" Substitutes the "Made In Germany" Mark. Washington, Nov. 13. There will be no shortage of toys to fill the stock ings of American children this Christ mas, despite the almost complete ab sence of the familiar "Made in Ger many" mark. An announcement made t.oday by the department of comerce said American manufacturers had de veloped an industry which could not only supply home demands, but export a surplus something never before known in the American toy trade. BRITISH CASUALTIES FOR THE WEEK ENDING TUESDAY London,- Nov. 13. The British cas ualties reported for the week ending today were: Officers killed or died of wounds, 297; men, 4,376. Officers wounded or missing, 789; men, 19,594. This gives a total of 25,056 casual ties, as compared with 21,891 . casual ties the previous week. AN ADDITIONAL LOAN, OF 3 10,000,000 TO FRANCE Washington, Nov. 13. A loan of $310,000,000 to France to cover expen ditures in this country during Novem ber and December was made today by the treasury. - This makes - the total credits' extended to France $1,130,000, 000 and the total of loans to all the Al lies $3,876,400,000. which'; the Americans took part have in a measure been in the nature of instruction. AMERICANS AND FRENCH FRATERNIZING IN CAMPS Washington, Nov. 13. American and French troops are fraternizing about the camps in France in a way that promises well for future joint opera tions. Private letters from American officers lay stress on' the amicable re lations that have been established be tween the men despite the differences in language. The soldiers go about in groups dur ing their leisure hours often with a French private strolling on either side of a big American and all three laughing uproaringly over their at tempts to understand each other. The villages where the Americans are quartered are full of such scenes daily. When there is a boxing match or oth er trial of strength the mixed audi ences cheer the victor impartially, al though each side shouts encourage ment to its own men during the fight. Thus a spirit of friendship of mu tual respect is being developed among the men that are to fight side by side that no provision of the leaders of the two armies could have secured and in it officers here, see a thing of priceless military value. PERSHING'S MEN TO HAVE A GENUINE THANKSGIVING With the American Army in France, Monday, Nov. 12.

I BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE Cites Work the Women Are Dolne in .the War V. D. C. Convention Is Formally' Opened With "Wei Come Night." Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 13. "Wel come night," which opened the twenty-fourth annual general convention of the United Daughters of the Con federacy here tonight, was featured by an address by Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the secretary of the navy. The theme was the part women should play in the war. Addresses of welcome were deliver ed by Governor Rye, of Tennessee; ! Mayor Littleton, of Chattanooga; Gen eral George B. Harrison, commander inlchlef of the United Confederate Veterans, and representatives of oth er organizations. Mrs. A. A.t Camp bell, Wytheville, Va., responded to the address of welcome on behalf of the convention. Let Daughters Forget Luxuries. . "Let the daughters of the mothers of the Confederacy forget luxuries in the spirit of their mothers," said Mrs; Daniels in 'opening her address, "and let them, like their mothers, glory in the willingness to make sacrifices without complaint. The work women are doing in this war touches every phase of the struggle. They are the mothers of the soldiers and sailors and have sought to train them so they Will be ready for any duty. They give them to their country with faith and prayer, but not without tears and ap prehension. In a million of homes preparation has been made for the son called to the colors. and in more homes the deft hands of women have been knitting for soldiers and sailors, vlt is a service in which love goes with every stitch." Mrs. Daniels declared it was not alone by labor and service and sacri fice and love that women are doing their bit in the war, but that they were leading Jn councils for defense, in food conservation, in preaching and practicing economy, in Red Cross work and many other activities. Emphasises Moral Cleanliness. In conclusion Mrs. Daniel? laid especial emphasis on the duty of wom en to work for clean environment for training camps and for the placing of wholesome entertainment that will make for moral cleanliness. "We, as women, must put aside many of the false ideas that have seal ed our tongues In the past. Science has spoken at last and on the word i of the world's foremost physical au thorities we know that continuance i3 not frowned upon by nature, but com manded by nature.' , We know there is no basis in truth for the double stand ard. No reasons, whatever save in the world's false teachings why our sons should not live in the same cleanliness that we expect our daughters to. It is not enough for the nation to call upon Its courage It is just as important to strengthen . its moral fibre." Mrs. Daniels called upon the women, to uphold the hands of the authorities (Continued on Page. -Two.) MRS N ADVANCED STEPS : IN THE LOCATION OF U-BOATS MADE And Once the German is Located, His Destruction is Compar- atively Simple DESTROYER BEST WEAPON Daniels Discusses the 40,000 Sepa rate Suggestions Made to the Naval Board Washington, Nov. 13. Important progress has been made In the problem of locating submarines, after which their destruction is a comparatively simple matter. Secretary Daniels said today in a statement discussing the 40,000 separate suggestions, plans or models of devices submitted to the na val consulting board since the United States entered the war against Ger many. The idea that the submarine will b : overcome by a miracutous invention is not now seriously considered," the sec retary said. "The more intimate knowledge the civilian obtains on this subject the more convinced he -is that the submarine can be conquered by persistently hunting him down by the weapon of which he is most afraid. This is the armed service boat, equip ped with all the latest scientific de vices and typified in the modern tor pedo boat destroyer. Foreign naval au thorities have frankly stated their ad miration of the degree of perfection of American designs. "In regard to the protection of ships against torpedo attacks, the undenia ble evidence of recent months of sub marine activity has demonstrated that the' immunity of a' vessel depends' Very largely on its speed and maneuvering ability. There: is a possibility that some artificial means of protecting cargo-carrying vessels may be found practicable. In no other, field have so many suggestions oV so many duplicate inventions been presented, to the board." . The secretary said that the thought on submarine defense may be subdi vided into three groups: 1. Methods to accomplish the destruc tion of submarines, involving detection and destruction after detection. 2. Means of avoiding' submarine at tack, involving instructions for mer chant vessels, proper handling of ves sels, camouflage, smoke screens and other confidential information known to American naval authorities. 3. Protection of ship's against torpedo hits. ; . All of the 40,000 suggestions submit ted have received careful consideration, Mr. Daniels said, and much valuable aid has been given to various branches of the war service. Many proposals, how ever, have been found to be Impracti cable, largely due to the failure of In ventors to properly Inform themselves on certain fundamental principles. The naval consulting board and the navy department have prepared and are giving free distributions to free pam phlets which give general information to inventors that they may avoid acting upon misconceptions as to fundamental principles with consequent waste of ef fort. OFFICIALS INDICTED FOR GOAL SEIZURES Federal Grand Jury Puts Emer gency Practices Under Ban Wllloughby, Ohio, Officials, Should They Be Convicted, Face Penalties of Big Fines Or Imprisonment, or Both.
