succeeded In bringing back to his sta

JAP TROOPS IN EUROPE
Clsmenceau Would Welcome Oriental
Intervention In the War.

Intervention In the War.
Paris, Dec. 26.-M. Clemenceau, In
his "I!homme Enchaine." takes up
M. Pichon's campaign on behalf Of
Japanese intervention in Europe, say
Ing that no question of principle can
be raised, as the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance, In the widest sense, is not mere
iy a promise Of military assistance at
especially determined points.
when Lord Kitchener said the
war might last six months or taree
years." M. Clemenceau said, "he
probably never reflected that he was
laying upon us the heaviest burden
Of ruin and suffering. We are ready
to bear them without complaint, con-
fdent OF final victory. But the gov
ernment's duty Is to reduce the length
of such punishment by every possible
means. England's territory Is intact,
although some parts nave been bonn
barded. The economic situation due
to the war is entirely to our detri-
ment. while England enjoys consider
able compensations."
M. Clemenceau then combats the
objections to Japanese assistance in
Europe raised by M, Hanotaux. who
said that the victory should be espe.
cially French. On this point M. Glenn
enceau says THAT would be difficult
In that England, Russia. Servia and
Belgium already are engaged and H.

NAVY NEEDS 200 AIR CRAFT,
Chief Of Asronautieal Bureau Tells 81
Their valus In War.

Chief Of Asronautieal Bureau Tells 81
Their valus In War.
Washington.-Capta Mark L. Bris-
tol. chief of the aeronautical bureau Of
the navy department, declared that the
navy needs 200 air craft, 100 for active
service and 100 to be held in reserve.
1T would require an appropriation
Of $2.OOO,0OO to bring the aeronautical
branch of the navy up to the proper
standard of efficiency" Captain Bristol
says.
"The air navy Of the United States"
said he, must consist of aerOplanes,
semirigid or nonrigld airships--the de.
strOyer, cruiser and battleshlps of the
air, respectively. The aeroplane will
be used for scouting to discover the
enemy's feet, especially submarines
and mines, and to attack the dirigibles
and aeroplanes of the enemy.
1T Is the torpedo boat of the air
against the airship cruisers and battle
ships. Having discovered the subma.
rines and mines, It directs the air
cruisers to attack these craft. and at
the same time protects the cruisers
from the enemy's air craft. The air
cruisers also will lay mines, probably
will be used to drop aerial torpedOes
on the surface ships Of the enemy and
be utilized over land for reconnaissance
and dropping bombs.
"The uses to which air craft can be
put In war will be better known after
the European war. 1t seems that the
air navy win be Just as essential a
part Of the country's lighting force as
the battleships and submarines.
ITO be successful against any enemy
the country must have command Of
the air the same as command Of the
sea.
"Any nation that has suitable all
craft could detect submarines. The
<aeroplane can see submarines and
mines very plainly and guide the diri
gible to them. which can descend close
to the water and drop high explosives
to explode the mines or destroy the
submarines. We can pick up the mines
at their usual depth, even follow the
anchor line of the mine down to q
considerable depth below the mine"

REPuLsE ATTACKS
French Report Slight Progress before
Nleuport.

Paris. Dec. 26.--Tne official COM
7rnunique says: 1--WE have made slight
progress before Nieuport toward No
tire Dame de Lorette. North of Lens
an attack by the enemy has been re-
pulsed. We carried another drench
near Puisaleine and we retained the
position In spite of several counter at
tacxs. The enemy made vigorous but
vain attacks on tae Tete do Faux. In
the Vosges."
II appears from the official an
pDuncement that the Germans pressed
'1he attacks. fact which Ia under
Standable in the light OF the an
s'puncement from Berlin that the re.
ssurn OF the kaiser to army headquar-
'fers would mean fresh effort by his
armies.

ITALY OCCUPIES
ALBANIAN TOWN
Marines Landed In kv|ona, FOL-
loving Uprising Of Mos|sms
AUSTRIA WILL RESENT ACTION

Step Taken viii Lead to Italy's Inter
vention In the Great War, Accord
ing to Popular Opinion In Rome.
MosIem Rebellion, Which Is Spread
ing In Albania, Attributed to Aus
tria's Activity.
Rome, Dec. 26.-Italy took steps In
Albania which can hardly fail to in.
furiate Austria and lead to Italy's IN.
tervention in the war.
For the protection of Italian inter.
Asts marines were landed at Avlona
directly across the Adriatic from
Otranto, and took possession of the
city. There was no fighting. For the
Sresent, and possibly for all time,
Avlons is as much an Italian city al
Naples. The pretext for the step was
the activity Of Moslem rebels, who
instigated by Austria, 1t is alleged,
were killing the ahderents Of Italy'a
friend, Essad Pasha, and were loot.
ing just outside the walls Of Avlona
An official dispatch sent from the
italian warship Misurata, at Durazzo.
says that the Albanian rebels at II
rama are threatening to move against
the government Of Essad Pasha. Es.
sad, who was elected as provis-
ional president by the Albanian SEN
ate, left for Kroja, where he will or
ganixe campaign against the rebels.
A rebel force Is concentrating at
Dibra, forty miles farther into the
interior from Kroja. Essad plans to
march against the rebels vita a
strong force of train ,"nssops.
There is no longer dllooGt here that
the revolutionary movement in Alba
MIA is spreading rapidly and that Aus
tria, Jealous Of Italy, Is back Of the
revolt It is known that Austria is
arming the rebels and supplying
them with funds in the hope that
italy will be prevented from gaining
actual control Of Albania and that the
situation will be kept uncertain until
the end Of the war, enabling Austria
to turn her full attention to her trou-
blesome Adriatic provinces. 1t is
now very evident that exactly the
contrary has happened, and that Aus
tria's diplomacy has given to Italy a
very real excuse for selling Avlona
and gaining footnold In Albania.
It Ia understood here that the land.
ing of troops in Albania will mean
active participation by Italy in the
general war Italian statesmen say
privately that Austria will never tol
crate the step. Without question the
government Of Austria will within q
few days demand from Italy an ex
planation Of the reasons why marines
were sent ashore from the varsity
Misurata and will, very likely, insist
that the marines he withdrawn and
tnat the Italian flag be lowered II
is impossible for Italy to comply with
such requests. The temper OF the
people is such that there would be
an explosion II the government made
a weak reply.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Tne circum.
stantial reports Of the last few days,
attributed to financial circles" al
leging that Austria Hungary was
ready to sue for peace. are emphat.
ically repudiated in a statement IT,
sued here by Baron Dumba, the Aus
tro-Hungarian ambassador, who de.
clares that not only lner treaty alli-
ances with Germany, but also her
own honor ana self-interest, prevents
Austria-Hungary from breaking from
her ally and seeking now to make a
separate peace for herself. The am
bassador declares that the wish is the
father to the thought In those re-
sponsible for these reports, particu-
larly with reference to the statemen.
that Galicia is to be oeded to Russia
