Correspondent Declares There
Is Danger of Anti-war

LONDON Nov. 1. —Baron Mayer
Des Planches high commissioner of
Italy who is in London tells’ the
Pali Mall Gazette:
“Our sense of security and our cer-
tainty of confidence comes from the
knowledge that the greatest of our
allies Great Britain and France will
be able to render us assistance which
it was impossible to give the Rou-
manians last year.”
Regarding the political effect of i
the invasion the commissioner says:;
“AH of the news we have re- (
reived from Italy some of an inti-
mate nature goes to show that so far I
from frightening the public this 1
menace has had a very desirable et- 1
feet in closing our ranks. Even the
Socialists and the Clericals two wide.
1? opposing parties have fluring the
past week become unanimous In
their desire that Italian soil shall be
protected.
Forget All DifftTrmvs.
’’This menace has caused them to
lorget all trivial dissensions and has
wedged more securely the chains of
national strength which a month
ago might easier have been endan-
gered by party prejudice.”
Tho commissioner adds that Great
Britain can best save Italy by send-
ing sufficient wheat and coal.
Julius Price who was described .is
’’The Official Correspondent of the
British Press With the Italian
Army” on leaving London writes
to the same newspaper:
“Rumors of rioting have been rife
lately in Turin and elsewhere and 1
am convinced that unless the Italian
people fee’ and know’ they can count
upon being actively supported by the
rilles especially Great Britain and
France it is certain that the serious
fact of a separate peace looms large
In the near future. .There is not a
moment to lose.”
A well known diplomat who per-
haps more than any other person has
an intimate knowledge of the Ger-
man secret service state.; there is
Ganger unless prompt and drastic
measures immediately are taken of
tho situation in Italy developing
along much the same lines as that in
Russia has done.
(.ennans Spend Great Sums.
”Jn Italy as in Russia hundreds
cf thousands of pounds have been
expended by Germans in tho promo-
tion of sedition among u large bodv
of pacifists and Socialists who stand
ready to sacrifice the interests of
democracy for an immediate peace.
Tho mental attitude of all democratic
be Gies in all allied countries is con-
stantly under the review of the psy-
cological bureau in Berlin which is
composed of fifty or sixty professors
and political intellectuals.
“The campaign which appears to
have undermined to some extent the
loyalty and spirit of the Italian army
has been inspired from this «iuar-
ter in conjunction with the secret
service of the Berlin foreign office.
The methods used so Niiccessfully in
destroying Russia’s military slreugth
are being practiced not only in Italy
but in every one of the allied and (
neutral countries. The disaster on
the Isonzo is a serious warning to
the manacc our eastern allies have
encountered since the beginning of
tho war.
“At all costs the allies must take
immediate measures io find out and
close these poisonous channels.”
Recalls Work of Salmtagr.
The same writer recalls the work
<.f sabotage in industrial plants in
A merica Australia ami New Zealand.
Ho also refers to the investigations
resulting in the arrest of Joseph
Garber a German Pole of Scranton
i’a. which he says proves the exist-
ence of German financial support for
the T. W. W. movement in the United
States.
Tho writer suggests investigation
( f the influences behind strikes in
Great Britain especially affecting
tho coal and airplane industries.
The naval correspondent of the
Evening News draws attention to the
conflict of opinion and sounds a
warning. The same newspaper in-
sists the new army must be judged
solely by results. It says the naval
high command is not wholly satisfac-
toi y.

EXPERTS WANTED FOR
MOBILE REPAIR SHOP
Ordnance Mechanics to Ride
in Trucks Fitted With
All Tools.
. The ranks of the Nlntieth Division.
<’anip Travis are being searched to
find forty-four enlisted men who
will meet the requirements demand-
ed by regulations providing for an
automobile ordnance repair shop.
The repair shop will be on wheels
end in fact will consist of six large
army trucks fitted out as "first aid
stations" for the small arms of the
division. Only expert and e-tperiem ed
mechanics are wanted for the de-
partment
The repair shop on wheels is a
new idea In the army. It was used
to some extent on the Mexico-Texas
border when the troops were strung
along thia side of the boundary line
last summer but under present plans
it will be carried far l»eyond what
’vas expected of the trucks at that
tune. An erganization is now being
formed at tho camp which will man
the trucks and make tho repairs. Its
personnel will consist of three offi-
cers and 4 4 enlisted mon most of
whom are to be r. m-commissioned I
efficers. Tho organization will be
made up of machinists auto repair
men and other skilled workmen. The
equipment will consist of six repair
trucks divided into three sections.
Tim trucks will be fitted out as
complete repair shops. Their func-
tion will be to go from organization
tr. organization and keep in repair
all small arms and ammunition.
They accompany the division and
art* supposed to be rea«ly to go at
a moment's noth e to make repairs
As the work required to be done can
only be by specialists it is planned
to send the enlisted men to the re-
pair shops of the Rock Island arse-
nal and to other large repair shops

struction.
Under the old plan all repairs to
; rms and equipment of any kind
was made at the arsenal which re-
sulted in delay and expense. The
new plan is tor the trucks to go
from organization to organization
and make such repairs as the or-
janizution mechanics are not cquip-
ed to make.
The plan has worked out admir-
ably in Europe army officers say
c.lthough it is almost a new plan so
far as the American army is con-
cerned.
Applications of men of the di-
vision for transfer to the department
are now being considered and it is
expected the most likely men will
bo selected within a few days and
sent to the large arsenal plants for
inLtruction.
