RIVER DEFENDED

On the italian front there was
severe fighting along the Piave
River. With a leaden rain from
their machine guns the Italians
kept the Austro- Germans from
gaining foothold on the west
bank Of the Pave River near Zen
zon where attempts were made
to cross on pontoon bridges.
Rome announced the falling
back of portion of the Latin
forces on the northern wing to
stronger positions that were the

NO RE : EXPORTS

Further than this there has
been reached an explicit agree
ment under which no expdrts
from the United States to any OF
these three neutrals shall be re-
exported to Germany.
The pressure of the embargo
by the United States and the con
,erted action OF Great Britain and
the United States to effectually
stop exports by the neutrals 70
Europe has been doubly effective.
1t brought to the United States
hundreds Of thousands OF tons Of
added shipping and has further
resulted in the three neutrals en-
tering upon the agreement which
was announced yesterday.
CONCERTED ACTION
Great Britain brought Holland
to an agreement soon after the
disclosure of the use to which
Germny had put the foreign Of
flee of Sweden. 1t ordered ex-
ports stopped, and in retaliation
Holland ordered all shipping 10
England TO cease. The loss was
greatest to Holland, and she
made concessions. But it was
the pressure Of the United States
under its embargo that was most
effective. 1t became evident TO
the neutrals that Great Britain and the
United States were in perfect accord
and that for all war purposes were us
much commercial allies as they are war
allies.
Embargo Wins
Food btuffs, cattle feed and scores OF
other articles which the North Europe
countries cannot otherwise obtain they
must get from the United States, and
this the embargo prevented. The com.
missions sent to Washington were
clearly told the requirements that
would be exacted before exports could
60 to their ports. Negotiations were
taken up with the home governments.
To the demands Of the United States
the merchants and business men seri.
Ously objected, but in the end the con.
eessions were given.
Promise of the lifting Of the EN-,
barge has been given TO the neutrals.
and early shipments in the scores OF
vessels that have been lying idle In
American ports will be made, resuming
an interrupted commerce.

wv hy-what is this l asked, point

THE invention Of Maj. Squier of the
Army" he replied. by which any num-
Der of messages may be sent at the
same time over the same wire without
the slightest conflict. Really 1t consists
in making wireless electric waves
travel along, instead of inside. the wire.
In other words. he discovered the
means of concentrating the energy Of
wireless wave on a given point. instead
of letting it riot all over the face of the
earth.
1T is the principle of wireless But
in ordinary wireless less than one-mil-
lionth part of the original sending force
reaches the point for which it is in
tended. The rest Is scattered through
space in all directions. If the vibra-
tions of a current are of certain num-
Der per second. the current will follow
a wire to which 1t Is. as it were, at
tached, instead of passing of into
space
"All the energy in wireless formerly
wasted in radiation in every direction
now devotes itself solely to driving
the current through the ether about
the wire. Thus it goes until II reaches
the point where Whiting is-where the
vibrations correspond to its own and
are in tune. There it reproduces the
sending impulse. 1t is wired wireless"
