Official dis-" patches received - here today said the strength of the Teutonic arm ies on the Italian front is suffi cient to permit the central powers to undertake offensive - operations simultaneously on the entire west ern front from the North Sea t6 the Adriatic and prevent the allies from transferring troops from one part of the front to the other. After failure of their attacks against the Italian Velbella posi tions, the dispatches said, the Aus trians are repairing and consolidat ing their lines. The Teutons main tain unaltered their forces on the Asiago plateau and around Mount Grappa . but several German bat talions have been . withdrawn and Hungarian troops substituted. FOR SHIP PROBLEM Government Operation of All Ship, yards is Advocated by Senator Fletcher WOULD CONSCRIPT LABOR Senator Calder Wants President to Is sue Proclamation ; Forbidding : . Strikes and to "Shut Out" Tktw Wk XMsoseyv Wast'ngton, Feb. 16.- Government operation of aU shipyards engaged on government work, the forbidding of strikes and limited conscription of Ta bor were suggestions advanced today by members of -the senate ship Investi gating committees as a means of speeding up ship building. Senator Fletcher, chairman of the committee, in a statement advocating taking over of the yards by the gov ernment, the fixing of a general wage scale and the detailing of skilled men drafted into the army to work in the yards. Senator Calder, of New York, another committee member, announced that he wanted to see tne president issue a proclamation forbidding the men to strike and said those failing to obey should be denied the privilege of returning to work in the yards. "If the United States were operating the shipyards," Senator Fletcher said, "it could appeal to the patriotism of the men, but where private corpora tions are piling up profits for . them selves and the men who are doing the work are not receiving so much for their labor, it is natural mat they should feel that they are entitled to some of the profits." "SHIPS, ships, more: ships THE- CALL. OF THE IXOUU" Washington, Feb. 16. The man working in the shipyard contributes a war-time service to the nation only less important than that of the soldier or sailor, Secretary Daniels said to night, in a statement emphasizing the necessity of stimulating ship produc tion. "Ships, ships and more ships, is the nail of the , hour." said the secretary. rWe must have them to carry our armies to Europe and to keep our troops and the allies supplied with food and munitions. General Pershing calls for a bridge of ships across the Atlantic and that is wiat we are bending every effort to rurnlsh him. "We must have more ships to win the war. We must have them for the great merchant .marine that will carry America's commerce under the Ameri can flag to alf the world's ports after the war. "Every vessel that Is turned out in this country counts towartl the defeat of Germany. Every worker In a ship yard can feel that he is doing a part towards" winning this struggle only less important than that of the men on our warships or-in the trenches."

German forces are already being concentrated in Ukraine to attack the Bolsheviki, ac cording to a Berlin dispatch to the Tijd, and declarations looking to the active prosecution of the war against the Bolahekivi in north Russia also will be made at Berlin next week. The German authorities are anxious regarding the fate of German prison ers in north Russia, whom the Bolshe viki are holding as hostages, and who, Berlin dispatches say, may be killed if the Bolsheviki are driven to despera tion. Germany has already served no tice on the Bolsheviki authorities that she will enforce reprisals if the German prisoners are harmed. Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, has notified Berlin thUt Austrian troops must not be used against Russia . to support any policy which Austria has not approved but only for purposes of self-defense against marau dine hands WHOLESALE ARRESTS OF " ' GERMANS FOOD CONFISCATED Amsterdam, Feb. 16. The Bolsheviki are making wholesale arrests of Ger mans in . Russia and holding them as hostages, according to a Riga dispatch received by way of Berlin. Three hun dred Germans and many pro-German Esthonians at Dorpat have been arrest ed and transferred to Kronstadt. All the food in the Dorpat district has been confiscated, and it is almost impossible to feed the German women and child ren. , . The lives of those arrested as well as Germans and German supporters who have not been arrested, are hour ly in great danger, adds the dispatch, as the Bolsheviki threaten wholesale butchery. The Bolsheviki have offi cially declared the Baltic nobility out laws. , The Lrokal Anzelger (Berlin) says there is great, excitement' at Warsaw, Cracow and Lemberg as a result of the Ukraine treaty. The Warsaw newspa pers are appearing with black borders. Soldiers mounted and on foot, are pa trolling the streets to prevent demon strations. The director of political af fairs, Count Rostvorovski, has resigned. At Cracow the papers appeal to Po lish parties to declare a one-day gen eral strike. A general strike has been called at Lemberg for Monday, when work will be suspended in all the Polish factories, shops and government offices and the schools will be closed. PARADES MUST NOT HAMPER RAIL TRAFFIC Troops to be Moved on Washington's Birthday Only Where Railroad Energy Is Not Taxed.' Washington, Feb. 16. Railroads will undertake to transport troops to cities for Washington's . . birthday parades next Friday, only when this can be ac complished without interference with vital movement of coal, food and Im portant war supplies. ' Applications for troop movements will be "considered in the light of the specific local conditions applying to the roads over which the troops would go. Mr. McAdoo intimated, however, that most movements would be discouraged largely because of .the necessity of mo bilizing available passenger equipment for the movement on February 23 of the last contingent of the National Army to training camps. Secretary Baker recently expressed the wish -that national army units might participate wherever possible in Washington's birthday parades to show the public the results of their training. In view of the railroad transportation difficulties this will be attempted main ly in cities within easy marching dis tance of camps. -.--. . ' N C. WOMEN SEND PETITION , .

His subject will be '. why North Carolina has' not secured can tonments, while Virginia' and South Carolina are full of them. tie will ask also the exact number of camps in Virginia and South Carolina. ' ' Keeps on Gettin Camzs. Last Wednesday there appeared a story in a Virginia newspaper from its staff correspondent in Washington stating that. Virginia was to -get -an other camp, makink a total of eight which the . state will ' have" annexed since the war started. The latest camp which the Old Do minion State will ' get is a concentra tion tamp for the aviation corps of the army, which is to be located on one of those old colonial farms just out side of Richmond.

Senators and members of congress are hearing from the home folks and many of these letters are anything but complimentary to those . representing the -state in congress.

Some of these complaining about the failure of the state to secure canton ments say the real reason Is some of the representatives here have paid more attention to "standing in" with the administration - than they have to the interest of the state. They con tend; that had a stiff protest been made against moving the proposed camp from Fayetteville after Mr. Baker, had declared that it was the best suited place for a camp east, of the Missis sippi! river, the camp wOTRd have been established at Fayetteviire and other camps selected In North Carolina.

NEUTRAL SUBJECTS 480 Vessels Carrying 2,000,000 Tons of Supplies Bunkered and Started Across RAIL SITUATION IMPROVED Garfield Points Out Some of Bene fits Derived From Suspen- WAS A "DEMOCRATIC' MOVE There "Was No Crushing of the Weak", All Faring Alike New York, Feb. 16-Some hitherto unannounced details of the causes and results of the five-day industrial sus pension and heatless Monday order were disclosed here - tonight by Fuel Administrator Garfield, in an address to the alumni of William College. Dr. Garfield's i theme was the spirit of America and he praised ' the people for the tranquility with which they met the economic crisis. - As a-result of the closing order, Dr. Garfield said, 480 ships, carrying more than 2,000,000 tons of food, fuel and munitions and other war -supplies, which ' had been tied, up in Atlantic ports, ' were bunkered and sent to sea from January 17, ". the day the r order became effective," to January 29. A nor mal number of ships only remained at anchor, he. declared, and the flow of supplies necessary, to the American expeditionary, forces ai.d the allies had been re-established. In addition, the fuel 'administrator continued, the'- rails were cleared for important shipments of steel and oth er commodities of - factories without which the most essential war indus tries inevitably would, have been closed, but not in ,ah orderly fashion. Dr. "Garfield called ; attention 'to the fact that the ' nation's ' foreign ' com merce had increased . from i two bil lions of dollars .'In 191-3 to nine-billions' of dollars, and said there "" had been-' placed on the . railroads little more than one-half of the number of locomotives needed to. care1 for the' in creased traffic, the remainder being sent to France and Russia. ' -'. Almost without exception, he ' con tlnued J the manufacture of war ' ma terial was at Its . height ' about the first", of .last. December. Then came the' worst weather the 'country had ex perienced; in 20 years. The railroads found the struggle against over-production and blizzards too much for them, the administrator" said, and some relief .was - necessary. ! . .. , "To cite a" few ,only 'of the most im portant, articles,"' said Dr. . Garfield, "the shipments of . steel plates essen tial to". the building, of our ships fell off nearly. 50 per cent during the pe riod from the beginning of December to the middle of . January. ..Had this decline been permitted to ; continue, our most : essential .war industries in evitably would have been closed down, but not. in an. orderly fashion. Co operation demands the share' of losses as well as gains. It is noteworthy that the upward . trend was . resumed for the week beginning, January- 26. "The fuel administration, believing in the democratic, ideal, asked not that some, but that 1 all particlp"ate in' the sacrifice necessary to save us from our own prosperity" and, the . American spirit , arose and asserted itself. There was ,no ' crushing - ot the " weak in . a great scramble,, but , all stopp ed except the. few appointed to absolutely nec essary work., , : ''The reaction' of , the American peo ple in the face ' of" the greatest, crisis which, this generation, has been called upon to face, proved "that they were true" Inheritors of the 'American spirit and practical .advocates - of the prin oiple ; of djmocracQi , . r WHOLE ICUMBER 39,326 PRESIDENT IS TO TAKE ACTION III Officials Say Developments Yester day Give Promise of an - ' , Early Settlement . WAGE BASIS IS ' FORMED Members of Carpenters Union Not in Accord With the At- i titude of Hiitcheson . 1 . Washington, Feb. 16. Efforts by tbe , government to end the strikes of car penters in eastern shipyards brought. two important developments today which officials declared promise to ef fect an early settlement. President Wilson prepared to take some action In the situation, the nature of which has not been disclosed, and the shipbuilding - labor adjustment board handed down a wage award cov ering . Delaware river and Maryland shipyards which will form the basis of a - general eastern shipbuilding wage scale. : The president is expected to express definite views on the situation, in reply to a telegram he received tonight rrom William L. Hutcheson, president of the brotherhood of carpenters and joiners, , asking an opportunity personally to put. the situation before him. Several Other Developments. Other developments in connection with strikes during the day were: ' Indications that the heads of other unions will not support Hutchesoh's position and assurances from- New York metal workers that - they ' will continue work awaiting an adjustment by, the wage adjustment board. A; statement by the shipping board tha,t ho. effort will - be made to cTJeree the strikers by threatening ' to call them, into the military service. .'

"':. 1 V'""-' "f '' - 'T--: " ' " A request by shipyards that they be permitted tocrush the strike in their own way. . ' '. V ; President's Plan Not Reveald." : There was no indication tonight as to what measures the president has in mind, and at the White .House, it was said no reply would be sent tonight to Hutcheson's telegram. . The president has given his personal attention to the situation since yesterday. Hutcheson's refusal to leave a set tlement to the labor adjustment board drew from officials of the board tonight the statement that "the carpenters' or ganization alone of all the trades en gaged - in shipbuilding has declined to let it adjust, difficulties. . Hutcheson, they say, agreed, to let the .board fix wages and hours of .labor, but stead fastly refused to leave to It the ques tion of conditions of labor, including the question of .the open or closed shop. Little- Sympathy for JXnrtelieson Officers of the American Federation of-Labor, it was declared tonight, have little sympathy with Hutcheson's atti tude and are likely to repudiate him. Local organizations of the carpenters on the Pacific and Gulf - coasts and along the South Atlantic, despite or ders from Hutcheson, are leaving to the adjustment board, its ' members said tonight .all questions affecting their relation with their employers.1 The Delaware river and Maryland award given out today establishes a uniform wage scale and working con ditions In 60 per. cent of the Atlantic coast yards. It gives carpenters ' a minimum wage of 5.60 a day and the striking Baltimore carpenters, al though not parties to the agreement, will be permitted to accept its . provi sions if -they so desire. The award will be used as a ' basis for arranging other agreements. ..The r adjustment board will go south next week and the week after expects to take up con sideration of any district scale.
