Invaders Are Slaughtered.
Washington, Nov. 18.—The climax
of the Austro-German drive is near-
ing on the Sette Communi plateau,
according to official Rome cables.
These told how the Austro-Ger-
mans, repeating Verdun, are hurling
vast bodies of men against the Italian
positions on Monte Groppa and all
along the eastern end of the Sette
Communi line, in fruitless efforts to
break through to the Venetian plains.
Entire German battalions have been
annihilated, Rome reports.
Possession of Monte Groppa would
give the Teutons a strong position
from which to maneuver against the
rest of the Sette Communi 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 the Monte Groppa, Monte
Sissemol, Monte Zome and other stra-
getic points, trying to overwhelm the
defenders by giving them no rest be-
tween attacks.
“Owing to the difficulty of the
ground for the deployment of large
bodies of troops,” said official dis-
patches, “entire German battalions
were annihilated by the effective fire
of our artillery and bayonet counter-
attacks. Jn the region of MontC'.Fior,
an entire enemy division was forced
to retire after having suffered great
losses.
“The Italians have almost com-
pletely expelled the Teutons who
forced a crossing of the Piave at Zan-
son, where furious fighting is still go-
ing on,” the dispatch added.
Italian withdrawal from positions
on Monte Tomatico was carried out
successfully to a prepared line in the
face, of furious enemy attacks. The
Monte Tomatico withdrawal was re-
ported to be unimportant, as the po-
sition had been held chiefly for ob-
servation purposes.
Several bodies of Austrian troops
were captured in the Zanson sector.

KeKeved by Black-Draught.
Roseville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
Ms place, writes: “My husband is an

)ered himself with a piece of heavy ma-
■Mserj. across .the abdomen. He was

New Regulations Regarding Aliens
Are Most Drastic.
Washington, Nov. 19.—According
to information available here tonight,
the issue of President Wilson’s pro
clamation for the better control of
aliens awaits only arrangements for
the troops to enforce the regulations.
It is expected that the regulations
when issued will find forces of sol
diers on hand at designated places to
see that they are immediately enforc-
ed.
The taking of the enforcement of
the restrictions against aliens out of
the hands of the civil police is looked
upon here as possibly foreshadowing
courtmartial for any persons found
guilty of connection with sabotage.
It is reported here tonight that the
war college is now making the plans
for the assignment of troops to the
various districts to be granted.
The reports received here today of
another fire in a war industrial plant
in New York City hastened all of the
preparations for the enforcement of
the new proclamation and in many
quarters it was predicted that the
new control of suspects would be in
full effect tomorrow night.
The choice of troops to guard the
munitions and other danger spots is
believed to have been made on account
of the good record made by the Na-
tional Guard in protecting the rail-
roads. Though it is known that num-
erous attempts have been made
against important railroad structures,
all have been frustrated.
In addition to the requirements for
aliens to register and report at in-
tervals, all will, it is believed, be
compelled to pass a picket line in ap-
proaching water fronts and war
plants. /

Mr. Baker seems to have acquired
the habit of making decisions and then
changing them, as in the case of com-
missions for the candidates who grad-
uate at the officers’ training camps
November 27. In that instance he de-
cided to commission only about half
of the candidates, but public clamor
against such a policy caused him to
change his mind and all of those who
qualified for commissions will get
them.
..New Army Trucks a Great Success.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 19.—Test
of the new heavy duty army truck
has been so satisfactory that the
Council of Defense has let contracts
for different parts of the truck with-
out waiting the results of the twenty-
four hour runs now in progress.
In making this announcement the
Council said delivery of the trucks,
expected to begin in January, will be
made overland from the factories to
the seaboard ip, order to save the rail-
roads the burden of hauling them and
to develop drivers and to provide te.it>
for each machine. By June 3 0 a
thousand trucks are expected to be in
service.
Endurance runs show the truck
capable of averaging 125 miles a day
over heavy roads. The truck made a
record of 3.95 miles per gallon of
gasoline, hauling the full rated load
of three and one-half tons, in addi-
tion to four men.
Designs for the. light truck of one
and one-half tons rated capacity have
been completed and the first two en-
gines delivered.
The small truck will have a novel
system of spring bolt lubrication, de-
veloped at the conference of the de-
signing engineers.

that will save Russia. It points the
true path to salvation, “The road of
victory over the foe, to a constituent
assembly, through which the nation
will decide its own fate and choose
the organization of its political life.
We still hope for the leader who will
again unfurl that standard and rally
all the patriots of Russia around it.

Baker Enlarges Estimate to Army of
3,000,000 Men.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 19.—Fol-
lowing protests by members of the
General Staff and Congressmen
against Secretary Baker’s plan to
submit estimates of the army for the
next fiscal year, calling only for 1,-
600,000 men, Mr. Baker has changed
his plans and the estimates are again
being revised to provide for an army
of 3,000,000 as originally asked for
by the General Staff and beads of the
War Department Bureaus.
Whether Mr. Baker feared to ask
congress for enough money to main-
tain an army of 3,000,000 or whether
he made a miscalculation as to what
is needed, or whether he was struck
with a sudden idea of economy caus-
ed by the President’s orders that es-
timates be kept as low as possible, is
not known. He might have had no
fear concerning any amount neces-
sary, for Congress is prepared to go
Russia’s Road to Salvation.
In the face of the present situation
in Russia, the Komiloff revolt of two
months ago appears in a new light.
Had it succeeded, or had Kerensky
agreed to Komiloff’s demands, what
a different story there might be told!
The proclamation which Korniloff is-
sued on Sept. 12 takes on new elo-
quence today. Here is what he pro-
claimed :
“All in wfiose breasts beat Russian
hearts, all who believe in God, let
them flock to the temple $nd pray
God to perform a great miracle—a
miracle of saving the fatherland.
“I, General Korniloff,son of a peas-
ant and Cossack, declare to all that I
require nothing personally—nothing
but the salvation of mighty Russia—
and I swear to lead the nation by the
road of victory over the foe to a con-
stituent assembly through'which the
nation will decide its own fate and
choose the organization of its politi-
cal life.’

Villista Bandits Closing in on Juarez.
El Paso, Texas, Nov. 19.—Juarez is
tonight surrounded by Villistas and
refugees from that town are arriving
here.
Martin Lopez, who led the attack
on Carranzistas at Ojinaga, is at
Guadalupe, twenty miles east of
Juarez, with 500 men and another
force of Pancho Villa’s men are re-
ported at Rancheria, thirty miles west
of the Mexican border town.
The advance guard moving on
Juarez can be seen from El Paso and
their camp fires are burning on the
foothills.
Villa in person is leading his main
force to attack Chihuahua City and
he will assist in the attack on Juarez
as soon as the former town is in his
hands, according to Villistas here.
Cottonseed Cake Can Be Shipped At

Col. Ike T. Pryor yesterday receiv-
ed the following from E. B.. Spiller,
secretary of the Texas Cattle Rais-
ers’ As^ocjation? who is now at Hous-
ton:
“Cottonseed cnke seized at Galves-
ton, 43 per cent protein, $52,5Q per

Antonio Express.
Dallas Won’t Allow Woman's Party
Orator to Speak on Streets.
Dallas, Nov. 19.—Miss Maud
Younger of the National Woman’s
party, will not even be permitted to
speak on the streets of Dallas, ac-
cording to a statement issued by
Mayor Lawther, Monday. “If these
women picketers really want to pick-
et for their country, let them offer to
picket the munitions plants,” said the
mayor.
The use of the nty hall had already
been refused Miss Younger, who was
scheduled to speak there Monday
night. Miss Younger visited the may-
or in person to protest against hia
action.
Japs Attach Much Importance to Plan
Tokio, Nov. 19.—The Japanese gov-
ernment is understood to attach the
greatest importance to the Paris con-
ference in the view of the probabil-
ity of questions arising concerning
Japan’s military aid. Today Viscount
Montono returned from the headquar-
ters of the army maneuvers where he
audienced«the emperor and sought
sanction to increase the representa-
tion, which consists of the ambassa-
dors at London and Paris. The gov-
ernment decision against a military
expedition is unchanged but conceiv-
ably matters mfiay arise at the confer-
ence may lead to a modification of the
present views.
Back in 1912,
Two ladies were discussing M?,
Taft and Mr, Roosevelt,
The first one said, “I don’t like Mf-
Roosevelt. He is too bellicose,”
The second replied, “Oh, no, you
are thinking of Mr, Tuft.”
