(By the International News Service.)
London, Oct. 8O.--The Anstro-Ger-
man advance continues. The armies
Of the Central Powers stand before
Udine, formerly the headquarters Of
General Cadorna. Advices from Rome
state that the Italians have turned on
the invaders and expect to stop them
by the time they reach the line of the
Tagliamento River, twenty miles be-
yond Udine. There another battle Of
the Marine is expected to decide the
fate Of Italy and perhaps the outcome
Of the war. Berlin states that the
entire 120-mile line from the Adriatic
to the Carnic Alps is moving west
ward. A dispatch from Berne, Swift
erland, puts the Austro- German losses
at 10000 men. Berlin reports an in

Washington, Oct. 21.-The Food Ad-
ministration has issued a statement In
which 1t says:
MANY Americans still believe that
the food administration Is advocating
that they save food by eating less
themselves or merely by eliminating
waste. Of which they Indignantly de-
ny they are guilty. Others regard the
propaganda to aid in the gigantic task
Of provisioning starving Europe

worthy Of serious consideration.

during the family enrolment week will
visit every household in the country
have, been given careful and specific
training to enable them to meet such
objections. They will explain that
Americans are not asked to eat less

Of those foods which must be sent to

an abundance, but which cannot be

America absolutely must ship to the

urges the increased use of corn, oats.

meat; strip and other sweets for

Washington, Jan. 8. - The leak in
vestigation seemed to make it's first
progress toward some definite point
to-day when Thomas w. Lawson,
after much questioning and urging,
promised that should the House order
a formal inquiry he would disclose
the names of the cabinet officer, the
Senator and the New York broker,
who, he said a Congressman told lin,
were engaged in a stock gambling
partnership and had protited through
advance information of President Will
sons peace note.
To disclose the names to the House
Rules Committee Lawson repeatedly
refused even when confronted with
three separate resolutions to put him
into contempt, Cor two reasons.
First. he Contended the rules
committee had no power to con-
duct a thorough investigation in
Guiding one of the Stock Ex-
change, such as he urged and he
would not be assured of an in
vestigation if he disclosed the
names.
Second, Lawson said, he con-
sidered that disclosure of the
names at this time would have
