ICY GALES FAIL

Fierce Fight at Oslavia
Goes on for Nine Days
in Sixty-mile Wind.
INVADER PUSHES
NEARER TOLMlNO
Losses Terrific, Swiss Reports
Say, but Fury of Attack
Is Undiminished.

Paris, Dec. 3.-Dispatches from the
Isonzo front received in Zurich state
that despite the icy cold Of the bora
which is blowing at the rate OF sixty
miles an hour over the bleak heights
o: the Carso, the Italians constantly
are making attacks along the whole
front. Their heaviest assaults are no"
directed on the Gorilla Lridgehead.
Especially violent and sangunary
fighting is proceeding near oslaVla'
where il has continued uninterruptediy
for nine days and nights. the l'ahahs
apparently hoping to lfeak through 'he
whole line of Austrian defence mere
The Italian losses are said TO nave
been terrific, and in some places the
bodies of the fallen have been founu
living in heaps. The sufferings OF the
campaign have been intensified by the
violence of the bora, which has been
more terrible than tic heaviest snow
storm. At times the men have peeh
forced to lie down avoid being
blown over the rocks.
While the artillery duel continues
around Gorilla. the Italians push
slowly toward Tolmino. The capture
of an Austrian trench Oh Santa Maria
Hill is announced By Rome. =,
In the Ledro Valley, Rome says, Al
pinists descended precipice by means
of ropes and surprised the. Austrlans.
In the fight that ensued the Italians
drove the enemy back and occupied his
position.
ITALIAN OFFICIAL.
The following official communication
was issued at Rome:
In the Ledro Valley one of our de-
tachments Of Alpinists descended q
precipice north of Pre- by means OF
ropes and surprised the enemy, who
had been reinforced, and drove him
back. afterward firmly occupying the
position.
Minor actions ending in our favor
are reported from northwest Of Ro-
cegno, in the valley of Sugana, in
the z-Fischbach Ridge and the
valley of Seebach in Galietz.
Our infantry occupied in front OF
Tolmino a part of an enemy ,,9,, en-
trenchment on Santa Maria Hill,
capturing rifles and munitions.
The enemy developed an intense
artillery and machine gun fire against
our positions on Montepiano at the
head of the Rienz valley without
making any attack, however. This
fire caused no damage.
Along the Isonzo front persistent
fog and rain hampered artillery ac-
ton. The enemy tried to profit from
weather conditions to make surprise
attacks against our new positions
east Of Oslavia and along the north
ern slopes of Monte San Michele,
but everywhere was repulsed imme-
diately.
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL. q.
The statement issued at Vienna says:
After the repeated unsuccessful
attacks of the last few days against
the bridgehesd of Tolmino and our
mountain positions north thereof,
quiet prevailed there yesterday. Near
0slavia last night we again repulsed
an enemy attack. Attacks on Monte
San Michele and the northern slope
of that mountain also failed.

ments which approached with sanc-
bags were annihilated.
Gorilla again has beel subjected

ment, which, in the centre Of the
town. caused considerable fresh dam
age.

BY Cable b TIE Tribune
London, Dec. IA curious effect

UNIFORM MOTOR LAWS
RULE In CALIFORNIA

Probably the most important legal
victory won by motorists Of any state
in the last decade is found in the de-
cisiOn of the appellate court Of Califor-
MIA that the state speed law sUpersedes
those of unchartered municipalities
whenever the two conflict.
This decision makes California the
first state of the union to have a nearly
uniform speed law, something for which
motorists have been fighting for years.
It does away with the small town
"cop" who makes arrests for private
gain rather than public good.
The value of this decision to Califor-
MIA can be fully realized when one con-
siders the number of eastern tourists
who will visit the state next year. I'm
der the old conditions, these motorists
would have met different speed regu-
latiOns in almost every town. But with
the state law fixing the speed at so
miles an hour in the open, 20 miles an
hour in closely built up town and
Is miles an hour in the business dis
tricts, every driver will know just
where he stands.
California motorists have never been
speed maniacs, but they have right
eOusly opposed small town speed limits
which work a hardship on the motor
car owner. They keep well within the
state limits.

BRIDGE SHURT
BY HIGH WATER
Borderland Route Gets
Blow as Result of Floods
in the ella River.

Phoenix. Ariz., Jan, 2.-High water
in the ella river destroyed all the pre-
liminary work that had been done
toward the construction of the state
bridge near Wellton, Yuma county. The
false work" was covered 25 1eet deep
with water, it is reported. State en-
gineer Lamar Cobb has not received a
detailed report but he estimates that
the total damage amounts to $1,000.
It is understood here that the bridge
being constructed by the government
across the Colorado river at Yuma has
also been damaged
This WelltOn bridge was to have
completed a most important link in the
BOrderland highway. It would enable
autOmObilists to cross the ella river at
WelIton, and continue westward to Yuma
on the south side Of the river, through the
ella valley. AT present, the AUTOMOBILE
list leaves the ella at PalOmas and tours
north and west out through a desert
to reach Yuma. With the WelltOn
bridge completed. the trip would be
down the ella valley almost all the way
from Phoenix to Yuma.

of supply for American manufacturers
are South America Mexico and Africa.
The Brazilian rubbers are normally
considered more expensive and the
African and Mexican rubbers. are of
inferior quality. Six or seven years
ago the greatest part of the crude rub
Der used in this country came from
Brazil On account of the increased
consumption, due largely to the manu-
facture OF automobile tires. production
since that time has been increased by
the addition of the cultivated rubber OF
the far east, until at the present time
so percent of the crude rubber used
in American factories comes from the
British empire. During this time con-
sumption has fully kept pace with the
increased supplies.
The normal consumption OF rubber
in the United States at the present
time is about 10000 tons annually. OF
this amount about $4,000 tons is plan
tation rubber, which normally sells
from about 45c to 55c pound. Already
the embargo has forced the price up to
about soc. Normally about 200 tons Of
crude rubber per day is consumed in
the United States. On account of this
great increase in cost Of rubber and
its collateral results the Increased cost
to the industry is approximately a
quarter of a million dollars per day As
to what the ultimate perdiem cost to
the industry viii be, if the present en-
barge is allowed to remain, no one can
predict
1T is not only in the increased prices
Of rubber goods that the people of the
United States viii suffer through this
seemingly unwarranted embargo. Full
" 125,000 people are directly or indi-
rectly employed in the rubber manu-
featuring industry. Already owing to
the slowing up Of mills, due to the lack
of supplies, it has been necessary to
lay off a good many employees"

PRISONERS WORK
WELL ON ROADS
It Does Them Good, They
Are Glad to Get Outside
and Roads Get Attention.

This is the first time I have ever
been taken on the level; the wardens
trusted me. and am going to act on
the square"
Thomas Mott Osborne. the newly
appointed warden Of Sing Sing, at re-
cent Columbia university meeting OF
the national committee on prisons ana
prison labor. emphasized these words
from one of the honor men in the
Auburn road camp. During the sum-
mer Mr.. Osborne spent two weeks
working with the men in this honor
camp, and he assured the large gath
ering Of the committee that he had
never had a more wholesome expert
ence.
'The Auburn camp Is unique" he
stated. Gin that men were selected for
this work who had long terms to
serve SO as to put the scheme to the
severest test Out Of the 20 men at
none had less than two years to serve.
One man had been 19 years in prison
and had never seen an automobile. An
other, a young Italian serving long
term for burglary, had special reasons
for attempting escape, as he was 1nnO-
cent of the crime for which he was
convicted, his proof Of innocence being
that at the time when the burglary
was committed for which he is serving
time, he himself was committing an

away.
These prisoners were all held to
the right Mr.. Osborne explained fby
the realization that they were the rep
resentatives OF the other 400 Auburn
prisoners The work done by these
prisoners is about the best that has
been done in the state, as viii be testi-
fled to by the residents Of the district
around Meridian n. Y, where the work
Of the camp was done, while it has
given great satisfaction to the county
authorities.
you would realize the advantage to
society of this method Of handling
prisoners" ne concluded, 'if you could
see the result in the men themselves.
Giving them healthy outdoor work
helps to restore their moral tone and is
undoubtedly a great help in the i'm
provement of their attitude towards So
ciety. The success in the work done
by the prisoners Of Dannemora, Sing
Sing and Auburn prisons points the
way for outdoor work which ought to
prevail in all other prisons"

AUTOMOBILE IS
CAME DESTROYER
Arizona Game Warden Says
It Enables Hunters to
Kill Game Quickly.

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 2.-That the au-
tomobile will bring about the eXtinc-
ton of all big game in Arizona unless
prompt preventive measures ara aiken,
is the statement of state game warden
G. NJ. Willard in his annual report to
the governor. He recommends that the
shooting of all big game, particularly
deer and turkeys, be prohibited for a
period of years.
The automobile, states the warden,
makes it easy for spOrtsmen to reach
the districts where game is fairly plen-
tiful. The number of hunters is in
creasing rapidly and the game is de-
creasinE. He ventures the assertion
that a permanent closed season will
meet with no opposition except from a
few game hogs"
Warden Willard scores careless hunt
ers, particularly those of the Salt river
valley. He states that nearly every
farmer in the valley has lost live stock
as a result of prOmiscuOus shooting,
and occasionally a human life is the
toll The present law makes it a mis-
demeanor TO discharge a firearm within
80 feet of a public highway and warden
Willard would make it more drastic.
The organization strongly urges the
establishment Of a state game farm for
the propagation OF imported birds
found adapted to natural conditions in
Arizona.

WORK ON Good
ROADS GROWING
Only Six States Now With
out a State Highway De-
partment in Operation.

That remarkable progress has been
made in the building of good roads
throughout the United States during
the past few years is proved by data
recently obtained by the American
Highway association
It has been found that more than
a. 600 miles Of surfaced roads have
been constructed during 1913 and 1914
and that during the ten year period
from 1904 to 1914 more than $4,000
miles have been completed That this
progress has been really amazing may
be understood from the fact that in
1904 there were only $4,000 miles Of
surfaced roads Of all types IN the
United States
That the movement is attaining mo-
mentum as it goes is proved by the
fact that while the average mileage
constructed per annum during the past
ten years is $500 miles, the total COM
pleted for 1914 exceeded $4,000 miles
The report will show that something
like 10000 miles Of highway have been
completed with the aid of state funds
Of which over s200,000,000 have been
expended. The state aid movement be-
gan in 1892 and has therefore con-
tinued for p years. Only recently has
it got well under way as the results
accomplished for 1913 and 1914 COM
prise a total Of 10000 miles Of state
AID highways completed, or in two
years time one third of the entire mile
age constructed with the aid of state
funds has been completed.
Only six states now out of a total of
48 are without state highway depart
ments ard 30 states have granted
actual money aid to the building Of
roads. The Year Book, which is the
official reference publication for all
good roads informa ton, is a large
cloth bound volume issued early in
each calendar year by the American
Highway association.
