The official statement to dav brought rejoicing In the capital. Ijtaly knows that great forces of men and guns from her allies are on the way to supplement her own efforts. Some British artillerymen have al ready gotten into action. On the Adriatic coast British monitors are likewise co-operating with Italian naval vessels in bombarding enemy positions around Vecchia. With the present Piave river line holding, these reinforcements in men and guns, .soon to be in action, will turn the tide completely against the Teu tons, according to the public's belief. Successful Exploit. Rut the exploit of the Italian forces which aroused the greatest Joy here was the war office official announce ment that between Salettuol and Sunte Andrea Di Barbarano the en emy yesterday at dawn had forced a crossing of the Piave, only to be driv en back later. The enemy suffered terribly from the furious Italian at tacks. (Sante Andrea is about three miles north of the Zenson Loop about mid wav in the Piave river line. It is on the main highway to Trevisopy.) The war office also asserted the en omv's none of occupation in the Zen son' loop of the Piave "was being more mid more restricted."- Violent fight ing Is in progress here? the Austro (ierninn forces battling desperately to keep their precarious foothold on the fur side of the river. - ;.. Battle, in Adriatic 7 '"'.'' Great speculation was aroused here tonight by the possibility of a sea bat tle in the Adriatic. . The war office, in paving tribute to the work of the Italian navy on the right wing of the uiniy ashore, mentioned that naval ten planes and shore batteries had re pulsed ''five enemy destroyers before Cortellazzo." ' . ( Cortellazzo Is located almost at the mouth of 'the Piave river, on the Adriatic.) Ualian naval forces are known to be in this section. During the retreat to the Piave river line the war office announced that vessels- had landed sailors who greatly assisted the re tirement of the army to prepared po sitions. . People Standing Firm.

MEETING OF CONGRESS Washington, Nov. 17. With con gress only a fortnight away, leaders were returning here today after heart to heart talks with the folks back home. Here are the results: Speaker Clark: "The people, the west. Is more loyally for the war than Washington realizes. Officials here think the people must be educated. The people think the officials ought to get busy." Senator Galllnger, republican lead er: "It will be a non-partisan ses sion.'

"Though we see tne iana 01 our father and our own hearths and homes disappear, still we cry "viva Italia.' " . ' Climax Near At Hand. . ' Washington, Nov. 17. The climax of the Austro-German drive is nearing on the Sette communl plateau, ac cording to official Kome cables, re ceived here tonight. These told how the Austro-Germans, repeating Ver dun, are hurling vast bodiesof men against the Italian position's on Monte Gropha, and all along the eastern end of the Sette communi line, in fruitless efforts break through to the Venetian plains. Entire German battalions have been annihilated, Rome reports, Possession of Monte Gropha would give the Teutons . a strong position from which to maneuver against the rest of the Sette communl line. "These operations constitute the most serious element In the present State of the offensive," it was stated. For five days the Teutons have thrown fresh battalions against the Italians on Monte Gropha, Monte Sls enol, Monte Zome and other strategic points, trying to overwhelm the .de fenders by giving them no rest be tween attacks. ' - Entire Battalions Crushed. "Owing to the difficulty of the ground for the deployment of large bodies and troops," said official Uis patches, "entire German battalions were annihilated by the effective fire of our artillery and bayonet counter attacks. In the region of Monte Fior, an entire enemy division was forced to retreat after having suffered consider-; able losses." The Italians have almost completely expelled the Teutons who forced a crossing of the Piave at Zanzon, where furious fighting Js still going on, the dispatches added. Italian withdrawal from positions on Monte Tomatlco was carried 01 successful to a prepared line. In th face of furious enemy at tacks. The Monte Tomatico with drawal was reported to be unimport ant, as the position had been held chiefly for observation purposes. Several bodies of Austrian troops were captured in the Zanzon sector.

Thirty-one suffrage pickets In the Occoquan, Va., worKnouBe, wnere they are held for persisting In picketing the White House, are tonight getting a touch of imprisonment under real war, condi tions. A cordon of American marines was thrown about the workhouse today. Confronted with the task of prevent ing the imprisoned women from pass ing information to the outside and keeping visitors out. the authorities called on the government for aid. Tonight as the women some of them from among the leading families of the country--went to sleep on their cell cots Uncle Sam's soldiers of the sea guarded them. Miss Alice Paul, on a hunger strike at the district Juil, was again forcibly fed today. She was given three meals through a 'stomach tube. This clones the first week of her hunger strike. Suffrage headquarters declare Miss Paul is being "brutally" treated, but county authorities assert she is being shown every consideration under the circumstances. Extra police are on duty about the Jail where Miss Paul and seven other picketera are confined. A delegation of women appealed to Secretary Baker In behalf of the imprisoned women today but were re ferred to Attorney-General Gregory. Having failed In their attempts to gain the release of the pickets through intervention of government officials, the women have appealed to the courts.

Tne port remained closed tonight and the customs of flee here was in receipt of orders from Washington that no port held by Vil listas would be opened.

The war de partment will not approve organiza tion of "foreign legions" in this coun try, except a Polish legion, Secretary of War Baker said today. "The war department approved the Polish le gion," said Baker, "because Poland is fighting to regain independence." The Polish legion probably will fight un der the American flag. SQMEWHER A- ISM III FLIGHT The Bolsheviki Apparently Has Full Control of Both Petrograd and Moscow THE PREMIER MAY YET COME BACK Pointed Out That Petrograd, Moscow and Finland Do Not Represent Russia London, Nov. 17. Kerensky's me teor, like a star that has risen, flashed spectacularly across Russia's firma ment and tonight had apparently lost in the abyss of Russia's international strife. Tonight It appeared that Ker ensky, once idol of the hour, unknown abroad before last March, had risen to supreme height since that time, flee ing somewhere from his enemies. The Bolsheviki apparently have strengthened on Petrograd. In Mos cow they were rapidly gaining com plete control of the city. Direct dis patches from Petrograd reported the city rapidly assuming a normal aspect, with negotiations proceeding for a permanent government to replace the make-shift constructure errected by the Bolsheviki with Lenine and Trotz ky at its head. The fact that the moderate socUI- ists were reported to have attained such strength as to force the Bolshe viki leaders to concede their party rep resentation in the future government, was one source of optimism here. Not all observers of Russia had giv en up hope of Kerensky's rehabllia tion In power. It was pointed out that several times in his rapid rise to pow er Kerensky has- overcome almost In superable obstacles. " Moreover, Petrograd. Moscow and Finland do not represent all of Russia th great peasant population of the steppes has not yet been heard from . Kerensky always has been the Idol ot the peasants and is a member of their political party. . , The only information regarding the former premier today came from Bol sheviki sources and was naturally col ored to make it appear that his down fall had been absolute and complete. 118 latest message dated November 13. said the socialists faction had agreed to a compromise ministry, com posed exclusively of socialists, includ ing some Bolsheviki, but he was not advised as to personnel, and had had no communication from those in pow er. This word indicated that the radical group anticipates that it will remain in power, and likewise showed the first symptoms of a return to some thing resembling a government. The United States government will deal with the socialists If cases touch ing American interests arise, but thus far there is no suggestion of recog nlzing the existance of a defacto gov eminent. The bloody fighting in Petrograd narmed no Americans, Ambassador Francis reported. The cadets and wo men soldiers battled with the malcon tents. A Stockholm message report ed that Lenine had tried to cash a cneck for 100,000,000 rubleswhere upon the bank immediately closed. Diplomats here foresaw that the tioishevlki and Maximalists are des tined to get the upper hand If they remain in power a time longer, ns their support Is growing constantly mrougn tneir promises of peace, food ana land. The Russian embassy remained out wardly optimistic, though it had no word from Petrograd. Hunger may yet force a revolutinn in Petropf-ad. Railway employes were scneauieu to strike todav if their de mands for Increased wages were not met by some governmental order. All messages from Petroerad wer o-roat. ly delayed and it whs not known here tonignt wnctner the strike threat had actually oeen put into effect. If the strike has been started, it means utter paralysis of all transpor tation Of food products to Pptrnirrn,1 Two weeks ago before the Bolsheviki coup, supplies were runnin nlnrm ingly low there.

Fishermen believe that they can make an acre of water produce ten times as much as an acre of land. Today a special committee for the United Anglers' league called upon Dr. Moskowvits, city commissioner of markets, and submitted plans for the establishment of fish farms. HE ALLIED WAR COUNCIL TO CREATE UNITY IN AIMS AND PURPOSES All Allied Powers Expected To Lay Cards on Table and To Agree on Aims of War America Expects No Gain and Has Clear Idea of Purpose of This War Every Department To Be Brought To Highest Efficiency Washington, Nov. 17. Military unity, unity of purpose during the war and unity of aims and conditions, is what America expects to see grown out of the allied war council soon to convene In Paris. -All ot the allied powers. It is expected, will lay all of their cards on the table. The United States has but one aim in the war the crushing of Hohenzollemism. If any other nation has any select trea ties or agreement, the United States will expect that they be made known. To Clear Atmosphere. That the American mission, he'aded by Col E. M. House and now In Eng land, will enter the council with this view, was learned on high authority by the United Press today. It Is hoped that tne allied atmosphere, which has been clouded from time to time, will be entirely cleared by the council. The "pulling and hauling" that has marked the conduct of the war to date will disappear, it is believed. House Mission Is War Mission. The American mission headed by Col. House, is a war mission, in that its business is to try and find out the quickest way to win the war. It is, therefore, a military mission and to all intents and purposes will discuss only military matters. This must be interpreted, however. In a broad sense. The thought and condition of the peo ple of the various countries have their bearing on military success or defeat on the battle front. These subjects. therefore, will come up for discussion along with various others that enter into the broad field. America Expects No Gain. The people of the United States know what they are fighting for. It has been made clear that America expects no gain out of the war other than that which will be gained by all humanity in stamping out the world s menace to democracy. Complete un derstanding among the peoples of the allied powers is one of the factors that will aid in winning the war. And out Business Men Must Stop Thinking About Profits, Says Ford Transporta tion Basic Need Now Washington, Nov. 17. Machinery will win the war, Henry Ford de clared here In a statement made pub lic tonight. ' Ford, who has become connected with the shipping board, to speed production of America's merchant Ves sels to beat the U-boat, asserted that "the nation that knows best how to use tools and machinery will win." To be victorious he declared busi ness men must stop thinking about profits. "I despise the profiteer,-' Ford said. ' He urged standardization of shipping. Predicting that this would be the last war. Ford urged that the government should preserve its great cantonments when peace comes, for training men In Industrial pursuits. , "The factories and personal organ ization of the Ford motor company are at the disposal of thP United States government and its allies," said Ford. "The production of automo biles for pleasure must be reduced. The idle carR standing along the streets show that enough cars have been built to last for a while. "Transportation for armies and sup plies Is a basic' need of war time. Railroads alone cannot handle the freight. The Germans are reported to have moved recently an army of 800,000 men from the eastern to the western front by auto trucks. The Ford plant can produce 2,000 one ton trucks daily and Its production can be increased In a few weeks to 3.000 Each truck can haul eight soldiers with full equipment. During the first month our shops could furnish trucks to haul an army of 490,000, there after for 720,000 men In each month "We are ready to furnish the gov ernment these trucks at Bhop cost without profit.- I will take no profit for anything produced for any gov ernment during the war. I despise the profiteer who makes money out of the war. The tractor for plowing needs Immediate "attention. We can save ships by sending tractors to plow 'the land In .Europe to grow crops there." Gettlug IiOoso Change. Washington, Nov. 17. A fresh money channel into the war pool which will win' the war was being dug across the United States tonight It was the channel which will divert the nation's loose change Into the war chest here, and It was being dug by 48 state directors of the new war sav ings certificates, campaign returning to their respective states after con ferences here. leftist 'Vjfcii'iai .lHHi s MACHINERY IN 1 of the allied council may grow a clear statement of war alms, based on an exchange of views and conditions over the Paris conference table. Allies Must Pull Together. The feeling of officials in Wash ington is that there can be no more than one "central power" for direc tion of the war. The allies must pull together. This might be accomplished through some central directing body composed of representatives of the various nations or through some medi um that may be established as a re sult of conferences of the council Win War Only Interest. V s1'"8 inierraieu in It Is an established fact that the just one thing now winning the war. members of the North Carolina Meth The members of the American mis-! odist conference are standing behind sion have that alone in view They i the government in this hour of crisis have been conferring with British of- i and it is equally apparent that the iiciais tor tne past wees; ana me con-, struction put upon the work ahead of them gives promise of the Paris coun- en uemg une ul me iuubi iiiipui luiii i conferences since tne Beginning ot tne war. , As casualties arrive in increasing numbers and the course of German propaganda appears to point certainly to another "peace drive" irom uer- many during the winter, the determi nation of the government to speed up every wheel of its war machine is be coming more pronounced. "Drafting" of Henry Ford into the government ship building business is but one of the steps being taken to bring every department up to the highest efficiency. Political Offensives. The "political ''.offensive" against Germany is also to be continued with renewed vigor. News of first real fruits of this came this week in of ficial reports of German prisnoers sur rendering, giving "republic" as their pass word to their French captors. These surrenders were the result of pamphlets dropped over the German lines .offering special consideration, to Germans who are willing to work for a German republic. GARFIELD URGES ECONOilN FUEL Fuel Administrator Asks Manufacturers To Volun tarily Control Consump tion of Coal Washington, Nov. 17. Fuel admin- lafpfAn i iu. i , , istrator Garfield tonight issued a plea to manufacturers and the public for "an iron hand" economy. Should this ! not be forthcoming, he emphasized, the government must begin arbitrary limitation of coal supplies. This, resort, to be avoided if possible." I Technical advice on the use of fuel' was the service Dr. Garfield offered ' industrial concerns, many of whom have already begun a voluntary cur tailment of their coal consumption, he said. If voluntary economy does not pro vide enough for war purposes and to keep the people warm "there will come a time when some limitation will have to be imposed upon the manufacturers of non-war products," Garfield warned. "In such an event the business world may feel sure that all the bearings of such limitations will bei given thorough consideration and that the necessary coal will be ob tained with the least possible inter ference with industry." Dr. Garfield's promise to give non essential business the utmost consid eration followed a. similar announce ment today by Priority Director Lov- ett, of the war industries board. "I feel safe In saying the board will take no action designed to elim- inate any non-essential indilstry wlthout reasonable notice and an op- portunity to be heard," said Lovett "It is the desire and policy of the board carefully and liberally to con- serve the Interest and welfare of In- dustrles.'

Conference To Send Very Best Men To Preach To Soldiers CARRIED HIS POINT BY MAJORITY OF 26 1 Report of Board of Educa-1! tion Shows Colleges Are . In Good Condition 1 conference proposes to do its dead Ipvel best for every movement that tends toward the uplift of the people uiiu tne salvation or the men, In yesterday morning's session the annual report of the board of missions suggested that the churches grant leaves of absence to pastors, loaning them to work in the various armv camps. The report was read and the motion to adopt was about to be put when Rev. Dr. Plato Durham asked recognition and the appeal that came from the eloquent lips of the speaker was like unto flames of fire and the thunderings' of an earthquake. "Our boys are going to hell at the rate of 10:000 a year and here you are talking about loaning a preacher to a camp for a month. If you had studied over the plan for a year-you could not have gotten a worse one. The leaders of the Young Men's Chris tian association asked you not to make the plan. You propose to send a man a month. If he is suited to the work and wins the heart of the boys, about the time he gets acquainted he must go back to his charge. It is ridicu lous. The worst thing you can do-. "Other denominations are sending: their best men, paying their salaries. ; Will you publish to the world that you have no men to send? The spir- itual life of the men in the camps is ', in the balance. I honor Charles W. , Byrd. He said to me, 'just tell me to go and I will go.' I "I have gone. I preach every Sun- i day at Camp Gordon. I preach with- 1 out money and without price. Let me 3 tell you, it takes good men. Scores I of men have been sent home by the $ Y. M. C. A. leaders because they could not 'put it over.' Every man j can't talk to soldiers. If you have a ? pastor who has power over men, send 5 him and let him stay." , - J Dr. Durham offered a motion that i the entire section be referred back to the board for revision. C. H.
