ITALY PROTESTS
 ARIZONA STATUTE Joins With Great Britain and Japan, Claiming
 Treaty Violation.
 ] ----- JAPAN BEHIND ACTION
Situation Created by Japan Believed to Possess All Elements of Grave
 SituatiOn If Nations Press Point.

i Washington, Dec. 4.--ltaly today joined Great Britain in protest against the Arizona state law, which
 these nations claim violates treaties | in that it discriminates against their
 subjects in the United States. The protest of the Italian govern
 ment was filed by it's ambassador.
 Soon thereafter Secretary Bryan went to the white house and had long conference with President Wilson. On
 his return to the state department he found awaiting him the Japanese
 ambassador.
 Secretary Bryan refused to discuss his conference at the white house or his conference with the Japanese ambassador. All state department l officials are also maintaining silence on this issue.
 ] The Japanese ambassador, on leav- ] ing the state department, would say only that there were subjects of Japan in Arizona, but would not ad-
 init that any new protest against the
 states discriminatory law had been
 made by Japan.
 i Most of the officials believe that the present SlludtloH, CIedlcu ny 1oPa"' her ally. Great Britain, and Italy
 has in it all the elements of grave
 trouble if the protests are pressed to
 the point of getting an early answer from the United States. i What the nations are endeavoring to get from the United States Is a
 declaration as to how far the federal
 government is responsible for the acts of Arizona.

Allies Armies Reported Really for Final Test of
 Strength with Invaders.
FIGHTING IN WEST
 COMES TO A HALT
Russians Sending Prisoners and Tro- phiCs Oi Victory t0 Fighting Zone Resembles CharnaI House
 Says Petrograd Report.

Paris. Dee. I-General Joffrc's allied forces are ready for a final lest of strength with the Germans. The counter offensive, which is to be the supreme effort of the French commanderin-chie to compel the WitaGrawal Of the invaders from France, Alsace and West Flanders, is generally developing and the arrival of the propitious moment is all that is awaited for the great drive.
 Simultaneously in Flanders. alorg the Aisne and in Alsace, on three dis tinct fronts. where the fighting of the rast two days has developed great Higo', the fury of the grand assault IS expected 10 break forth.
 For two week3, every since the campaign on the eastern frontier be- gan to turn in favor of the Russian arms, the strength of the allies army mas been rolling up until today .Tof- ire has at his command grand army, as perfect in equipment. in training and in morale as modern science of war can develop.
 Already unofficial reports. partly confirmed by official statements tell ef fighting of unprecedented propor- i1ons in Flanders and of other great battles in Alsace. The Arras engage ihent, terrific though it has been dur Ing the past few days, dwindles in importance when compared with the significance of the new battle along the Yser.
 Today's official report from tho fA attmept to retrieve their lost terri tory between Becelare, five miles dne cast of Arras, and past Passchendaele seven miles northeast of that town. These are points on the allies salient thrown out to protect Yprcs from German assault. The infantry of the invaders attempted to advance under vigorous firing, but they were met and thrown back by the British and Scotch batallions holding these posi-
 The German bombardment was maintained from Ypres as far across the stell-swept field as Roulers. Tha malr' activity of the Germans was evi. cent on all the stretch of railroad which connects Ypres and Roulers.
 In the fighting to the north of Arras, the French troops were able to continue the work of strengthening the positions taken from the Germans in the fighting Monday, particularly Vermelles, between Lens and Le. Bassee.
 German infantry essayed two att tacks against the French trenches in the Argonne region, but both met with failure. Most violent was the as- sault on Lacoure, northeast of the forest of Laguerrie which is west of Verdun. This, like the other assault to the south, failed before the stub Torn French resistance.
 In Alsace the fighting is developing With surprising activity. Official statements from Bordeaux claim the French have advanced steadily in the q rection of Altkirch.
 Unofficial reports are that the ef- ftnsive movement is also gaining in 'he direction of Muelhausen
 The sporadic engagements in which inc French and Germans have met curing the past week apparently have led to a general battle. which is now in pl ogress, and which is reported to be of greater magnitude than any yet fought on the French right.

Flying Squadron Against Liquor.

Brooklyn. N. Y., Dec. 4.-BrOOklyn was visited today by the Flying Squadron of America, self-styled "En- emies of J. Barleycorn," in the fight
 for prohibition which that body is making. Over two hundred cities are upon the list to be visited by that or ganization. They will remain here un- til Dec. 6. A number of prominent speakers and workers for the cause of abstinence are accompanying the squadron. According to the members, it's object is to be without prejudice to, or interference with the funda- mental principles or policies of any organization now in the field; it does not represent any political activity, but is merely an attempt to crystal li7e into action the sentiment of those opposed to liquor.

Active Leaders of Movement

[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Philadelphia. May H.-Prospects that an
independent Republican ticket will be
placed in the field by petition in time to
make an active campaign In the state
became strong in this city following the
result of the first statewide primary.
Active leaders OF the movement have not
been affiliated with the Washington
party. as the Progressives are known,
but believe that the light vote at the pri-
mary polls gives strong indications Of a
desire on the part of thousands OF Re
publcans in the state TO break away from
the Penrose machine. The ticket pro-
posed is to be headed by j. Benjamin
Dimmick for United States Senator and
ex-State Treasurer John c. Sheats for
Governor
Mr. Dimmck has thus far declined to
announce his future plans. declaring In
statement issued at his home at Scran-
ton that he intends TO wait for the COM
prete returns before making any an
nouncement. This is taken to mean that
he is holding under consideration the
proposition to head an independent ticket.

The Governor publicly announced that

to the Legislature advocating such bond
issue OF s20,TOoOO in spite Of the constitu-
ton and In face of his former statement
He denied allegiance to Tammany
Hall, but his subservience to the leader
of Tammany has been shown throughout
the year by his appointments. II was
further shown at a meeting OF the trus-

at the request OF the Lieutenant Gov
ernor. he left his office toe como TO the
meeting of the trustees and add his vote
TO that of the Lieutenant Governor TO
place Delaney on a commission TO IN

The Assembly majority's attitude re-
suited In reducing the aggregate appro-
priations from a little less than o00,rp
in 1913 70 about 100000 in 1914. showing
that the waste OF public funds has been
checked.
The fact that the Speaker became
member of the trustees of public build
ings transformed that body from a part.-

been paying 30 per cent more than the
