Italian Army Headquarters,
Wednesday, Nov. 21.-The greatest
mass attack which the enemy has
made is in progress along the upper
Piave river at the point where it
bends to the northeast in the Bel
luno Alps. AS the action proceeds
the enemy is bringing forward fresh
masses of reserves, including picked
troops of the Prussian Guard, be-
sides some of the best German
troops drawn from the western and
Russian fronts. The enemy also has
10000 mountaineers from Lower
Hungary, troops which are noted for
their brutal vandalism.
Fleet I'm Action
The action through the day was
shifted westward from Monte Tomba
and Monte Ferena to the slopes of
Monte Pertica. where the enemy
rushes have been checked. The Ital-
ian positions remain substantially un-
in the region of Monte Crap
pa, which dominates the whole range
of lower hills.
The monitor fleet which is cooper
ating with the Italian fleet off the
mouth of the Piave is shelling heav-

HARRISBURG Is
PLEDGED TO HELP
HOOVER PROGRAM
DR.. Cairns Brings Message
Telling How Easy 1t Is to
Save Food For Allies

"If each person in the United
States saves one pound of wheat,
seven ounces OF meat, seven ounces
of fat and seven ounces of sugar each
week we shall have ample with which
to provide food for our allies across
the ocean and thus help win the war.
If we do this we are acting as pa
triots. If we do not we are helping
Germany"
This was the message DR.. T. Alex,
Cairns, personal representative of
Herbert Hoover brought to the
members of the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce whom he addressed at
luncheon here to-day.
At the conclusion of the address
President Andrew Patterson asked
for a vote of support for this pro-
gram on the part of Harrisburg and
the response was unanimous.
DR.. Cairns said that the food saw
ing campaign is meeting with hearty
cooperation all over the country.
Businessmen are asking the commits
sioner how they can help and are
then going out and complying in
every way possible with the recon-
mendations of Mr.. Hoover and those
assisting him. He advised the extern.
sive use of vegetables, seafoods and
fowls as substitutes for meats and
sugar, of oats, buckwheat, barley,
beans and corn to take the place of
wheat Rabbits, he thought, would
help out too. Cottonseed, peanut and
other vegetable oils, he recon-
mends as substitutes for lard in
cooking and said that they are quite
as tasteful and healthful as animal
fats. If not more so.
The great burden of the shortage
of food, if we do not conserve, wise
ly, he said, would fall upon the wom-
en- and children of the land, for the
soldier must be fed first and those
at home afterward.
S. S. Pomeroy, well-known
grocer, was the chairman of the
meeting and in presenting DIR. Cairns
to the audience said that he, together
with all other dealers in foodstuffs,
is trying to assist the government in
every way in its conservation pro-
gram.

The harsh. strident voice of dis

among the members of the Ancient

sprang to lfe-all in a few moments.
1t was all over such a foolish ques-
ton, too. Not content with watching
the progress of the artisans who are
rapidly constructing the Penn-Harris

But the worst happened this

roadway.

British Army Headquarters
in France, Wednesday, Nov. 21,
The present battle more than
any other in the western theatci
has taken on the SAVIOR of fight
ing in other wars when men
struggled in the open and
cavalry made thrilling charges
against enemy guns. Many
military critics have long con-
tended that cavalry was a thing
of the past but the mounted men
have refuted this claim.
Field Marshal Haig has clung
to his horse troops throughout
the weary months of trench
fighting. He believed that some
day he would have a chance 10
use them and his Judgment has
been vindicated.
Field Marshal Haig's Blow
against the Cambria front rep
resents true strategy. He had

Sammies Newly Returned

MEN ADMIRE NEW CAPS
All Soldiers Want Permission

All the Time

With the American Army in
France, Wednesday. Nov. 21.-By
the Associated Press. )-The detach-
ments of the American Army who
have lust returned from a tour of
duty in the front line trenches were
badly in need of shaves when they
arrived at their billets. Their first
thought was to procure a razor and
attack the growth of several days.
The soldiers are ready to swear
by the new caps which they wear
under their shrappel helmets. Most
of them removed their helmets as
soon as they were out of the firezone
and officers remarked that the cans
greatly improved the appearance OF
the soldiers. The men wear them
cooked smartly over one ear. Each
cap has little regimental numeral
near the front.
Want Action
Troops belonging to units which
have seen moro action than the 9th
ers had stories to tell and the less
lucky comrades, as they call them
selves, listened attentively during the
long ride on the trucks on the return
10 tne DllletS. Most OF the motor
trains arrived at the billet town.
after nightfall The soldiers were
dismissed promptly but each took a
bath before he went to sleep.
The officers all spoke enthusias-
ucally of the morale, energy and
fighting spirit of their men. One
said that his hardest job in the
trenches was refusing permission to
go on patrol, adding:
An want to go all the time, which
is impossible"

The Strength Of Public Opinion

From common public expression it
would seem that the refusal Of the Ma

metts with popular approval Public
opinion Is so seldom strongly with a
corporation in such controversy as to
suggest that in this case, at least. the
strike was ill-advised and upon a triv-
ial excuse.
1t might not be out Of place to sug-
sest to union labor that in these times,
moro than any ether, real reasons and
very strong ones. should be had before
a public service is crippled by union
acton. II is time when patriotic
Americans are unwilling to exasperate
an already sorely tried public. Such
performances as tied up the L. A. &

of thousands of daily patrons and busi-
ness depending upon it, Injuries labor
unionisIn in public estimation, and
hastens the day when compulsory ar
hitration will be insisted upon, es-
pecially in controversies involving
public utilities.
Another significant side to this and
