Feree Enemy Back. All the eaemy forces which last week crossed the river Piave near Zenson have been swept clear, of the western bank la a brilliant attack by the Ital tana. Large numbers of them met death along the eastern bank or were drowned ia their hurried attempt to ford the stream. Others were bayonetted or fore ed to surrender, and it was only a small portion of ths original force that was able te make their way to safety. No infantry action of importance have taken place along the western front in Belgium and France, but indications point to another attack by Field Mar shal Haig ia Flanders and possibly by General Petaina forces near Verdun.

TO CURB ACTIVITIES OF TREASONABLE GERMANS IN U. S. Drastic Regulations To Keep Tab On Teutons To Be Pro mulgated in Few Days PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY PRESIDENT WILSON Under Proclamation Unnatu ralized Germans Above Age of 14 Are Required To Reg ister With Police or Some Other Authority Designated By Attorney General (By The Associated Press.) Washington Nov. 19 Drastic regu lations to enable government sgents to keep the thousands of Germans in the 1'nited States under contfiT-t sun-- lnnce and curb the treasonsble activi ties of a few, will be promulgated in several days by Attorney Genersl Greg ory to make effective the proclamation issued today by President Wilson im posing restrictions on free movement of alien enemies. By nwans of the new regulations, the Department of Justice expects to be able to round up a number of Germans who are believed to have directed the organized cam psgns of sabotage snd iireir'srn.ln o embarrass the United States in the war. Under the proclamation unnatural ized male Germans above the age of 14, are required to register with the police or some other authority to be designated by the attorney general. In addition, they must report periodicully to some officials if the attorney general so orders. They may not travel in the United States without a permit and may not approach within 100 ynrds of any wharf, pier dock, warehouse, shed, ele vator, storage house railroad terminal or other establishment which they attor ney general may designate. They are forbidden to travel on the ocean, great lakes or any river or waterway, either on public vessels or in their own privnte boats. They may not enter or reside ia the District of Columbia pr the Pan ama Canal cone and are not permitted tiTlrmke aefi&rfllghtl in fcaUoon or airplanes. . The new order applies to Germans livrgwtthin the United States, the Philippines, Porto Rico, Alaska and oth er possessions or territories, but does not sffect subjects of Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. It is effective lmmedt stely, but the registration and licens ing for traveling will not be put into full effect for a few days. In admin istering the new regulations the De partment of Justice will abide by the government s established policy of an noying law-abiding Germans as little as possible, and the full pressure of the restrictions will be Imposed only on Germans suspected of having evil de signs against the United States. Registration With Local Police. The registration probably will be made by local police in cities and towns, although Department of Justice officials today had not decided finally on whom this task should be imposed. The same authority probably will be desig nated to receive periodical reports from alien enemies, and to issue permits for travel. Germans without evil intent, officials believe, will comply willingly with the terms of the new restrictions in the knowledge that aimilar restrictions are imposed on alien enemies by other war ring nations. Those who disobey, how ever, will place themselves open to Sua pirion immediately and the government will exercise its privilege of interning for the war any who fail to voluntar ily comply. A number of recent fires and explo sions have been attributed to the work of aliea enemies. Under the provision for the 100-yard restricted zone, agenta may arrest any who arc found on docks. piers or warehouses. One of the most impotant features of the President's proclamation, ia the opinion of department officials, is the forbidding of water travel to enemies. Much of the damage to docks and piers ia known to have been done by German scents traveling in motor boats. Ia on ocean steamships, either in trans- Atlantic or coastwise traffic, are sus pected of having carried messages which eventually reached Germany. The closing of the District of Co- lubia to Germans was urged by gov ernment agents as one means of learn ing the traffic in valuable war informa tion which ia believed to have its most Important center ia the capital. The few scores of unnaturalized Germans living ia Washington will be forced to move out immediately. Germaa womea are not subject to the regulation, inasmuch as aliea enemies were defined by the espionage act aa "natives, citizens, denizen or -subjects ef the hostile aatioa or government, be ing male, of the age of fourteen years or upwards-" John Lord IKBriea, special assistant ia the attorney general for war work, will have charge ef the enforcement af the aew rules, and will supervise the department's fore of secret agent.

T BY UNI LABOR Vote of Confidence Comes Af ter More Than Three Hours of Debate ONLY NEGLIGIBLE NUMBER PACIFISTS Supporters of Resolution To Stand By Government in Vigorous Prosecution of War Did Not Mince" Words in Condemning The Attitude of The Pacifists (By The Associated Press.) Buffalo, N. Nov. 19. Union labor today put its stamp of approval on the attitude of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in working hand-in-hand with Presi dent Wilson and placing the needs of the nation above all other considers- tions in questions involving ths work ingman's part in a vigorous prosecution of the war against Germeny. The vote of confidence came after more than three houra of debate in which the pacifists element at the eon vrntion of the Federation was given ample opportunity to express itself Out of a total of 450 delegates only 15 were recorded in opposition. Ths garment workers of New York, under the leadership of Bose Shapiro, waa the only organization refusing to go on rec ord on the roll call. The tent of strength came upon a report from the committee on resolu tions. The committee reported favor ably a resolution indorsing the "pa triotic work ' of the alliance for lalwr and democracy which Mr. Gompers took an active part in organizing as an off set to the People s Council, a pacifist orgsnization. The attack on the resolution was led by Delegate Barnes, of I'hilsdelphia. Ua waa supported, in nddition to Mis. Shapiro by Delegate Burke of the Sul phite workers; Joseph P. Cannon, of the sniae workers, - niaae slassa- The alliance and Mr. Gompers were de fended by Delegates Walker of Illinois, Brown of Washington, Matthew Wall of the photo engravers, George Berry of the pressmen. Mat 8. Hayes of the typographical union, and Vice Presi dent James Duncan. What Opposition DIaenaeed. i The opposition discussed the -high cost of living, the Arizona miners' strike, the Pacific coast shipbuilders fight, the street railway strike of Springfield, Ills., and the suppression of foreign language newspapers, but Pres ident Gompers gave them full rein. The supporters of the resolution did not mince words in condemning the at titude of the pacifists. "Labor has a big duty to perform," said Mr. Berry. ''We cannot afford to place ourselves in such a position that he will be misunderstood. If the reso lution is rejected, it will go abroad to the world that we have turned down the government. I( is time v.e should stand up and be counted. "If we have traitors in our ranks I am ready to eliminate them. We can not take half way measures. We must show where we stand for the democracy for which we have been fighting during the last 37 years." Delegate Walker, who was at the Min neapolis meeting of the alliance for la bor and democracy said the fact that the alliance had declared against trea son and sedition seemed to have been unfavorably received by a great many people. Weald Suppress Sedltlonista. I have not changed my mind about that." Mr. Walker continued. "Intern ment should be the fate of thoae who preach sedition and, if that ia not suf ficient to suppress their advocacy or Prussian autocracy. I am in favor of taking whatever steps are necessary to suppress them. "Pacifists skulking under the cloak of unionism are going aa far as they dare ia the war of preaching sedition. This war is no child's play. It means more to ns than any issue ever raised ia the history of the bumaa race." Delegate Brown suggested that when a vote waa taken there should be a roil call. Let us stand up and be counted, he demanded. Mr. Hayes protested against what he termed the "holier-than-thou" attitude of some of the speakers. None of the members of the, Federation could be called traitors, he ssid. J "When President Wilson declared war," he aaid, "our duty was plaia and that waa to stand np and fight this war, ao matter how long it takes; We are making economic history mere rapidly than we realize ourselves. Whea sueh a maa aa Lloyd George says that the world cannot revert to old conditions he stated a great truth. It is realised aew that the old individualistic idea of capitalism doe. not work out in war." Predict. GevernsseBt CeatreL Mr. Hayes predicted government eoa trol of industries,, mine, aad the rail roads as the only solution of the eco nomic question to be met at the close of the war. President Gompers eloeed the debate ia a riagiag speech ia defense of the alliance and hia own position. FIVE SUBMARINES DESTROYED SATURDAY - (By The Associated Press.) London Nov. 19.
