Italian Headquarters.-,Br bat

The reformation of the Italian army
along the established position is pro-

The agreement for central mill

and Incorporates the Italian as part
of the western front, thus terminal
ing the Italian front as a separate
entity. 1t also establishes reciprocal
control, in which not only the French
and British have voice in the Ital-
ian campaign, but Italy has voice
in the French and British campaign.

ASSIGN VESSELS TO ITALY
United States Government Places
Many Transport Ships at Dis
posal of Italians.

Washington.-Seve ships with 0
tonnage of about $4,000 thus far have
been placed by the American govern
ment at the disposal of Italy for the
transport of supplies. Before the
month is over another $4,000 tons, it
was said, will have been turned over.
The Italians are chiefly in need OF
coal, steel and grain, and the first
ships given them are carrying coal.
Later an arrangement probably will
be worked out by which Italy's coal
requirements will be furnished by
Great Britain. Under this plan some
5000 miles of transportation would be
saved.

Consideration is being given to the
substitution of metal tubing for spruce
wood in American airplane manufac-

necessary because the spruce supply,
which was interrupted by labor troI-
bles in the northwest, now is almost
normal. The French are using an al
