 MENACED

Military interest centers at present on the Italian front where the central powers are declared in Rome dis patches to be developing their maxi mum military efforts of the war.
 The terrific struggle still finds its focal point on the Asiago plateau, where Field Marshal Conrad von Hoet- zendorf's army, reinforced to great strength, is trying to force the passes which lead to the Italian plains. His troops so far ill the fighting have cap tured some 16,000 Italians according to the German reports and have sue ceeded in pushing some distance into the Italian defensive positions.
 The bravery of the Italian troops who have sacrificed themselves in large numbers in blocking the enemy advance, has kept the holding line in tact, however, as it receded Even the heaviest enemy masses thrown against the defenses seemingly regardless of losses have not suffIced to effect break in the chain of strong positions in which the Italians are now contin- uing their stand.
 There has been little fighting in the last 24 hours in the other war theaters. The Cambrai area. in which the line has shifted rapidly as the British and German armies swung back and forth over it in the last few weeks, is wit messing let up in the intensity of the activities, probably preparatory to the breaking out of new engagements.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Dec. B. Swamped by mountainous seas, driven by one of the worst northeast gales this section of the coast has experienced in many years, the tug Eugene F. Moran foundered three miles off the upper beach late today and sank with all hands on board. The captain and ten men were lost Members of the crews of the tugs tow, who were rescued after a thrilling battle with the heavy seas by coast guard crews, were unable to identify any of the victims.
 The tug, owned by the Moran Tow ing company of New York, was bring ing two barges from New York to Philadelphia when she foundered. At the risk of his life the captain of the tug cut the two big hawsers hold ing his tow, probably preventing a heavier toll of life.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Engineer- the war department were granted vir- tual exemption from the selective draft act today under certain prescribed con- ditions. The action resulted from a conference between Secretary Baker, Provost Marshal General Crowder and officials of engineering societies.
 The students are viewed as military assets of the future and are granted preferred classification, as are medical students in certain cases so they may complete their courses. They revert automatically to their former classifi- cation on graduation and may be called out immediately as enlisted men of the engineer reserve.
 The problem of engineering students in the draft was presented by Milo $. Ketchum of Boulder, Colo, president or the Society for the Promotion of Engineering, and c. R. Mann, dean of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They filed with MT. Baker copies of resolutions adopted by various engin- eering societies, urging special consid- eration for engineering students be- cause of the value of such men when trained to the military establishment
 About 5000 students in IF recog- nized engineering colleges and schools are affected.
 After the conference, General Crow der issued an amendment to the selec- tive draft regulations giving such stu dents the same classification as student doctors. Where they can present cer- tificates showing that they are enlisted in the engineer reserve they will be placed in class five by local boards. These certificates must come from the presidents of the institutions they at tend, stating that they have shown ability that places them among the

STATES s. PROVOST. RESIGN s.
Provost Marshal General Crowder, Washington, D. C.

Provost Marshal General Crowder,
 Washington, D. C.
 Owing to the density of population back east have rendered resignation to Governor Campbell take effect as soon as possible including disburs- ing officer. Arrange release as soon as possible.
 F. S. BREEN. With the above laconic message, Colonel Fred S. Breen, state dis bursting officer for Arizona under the selective service law, Thursday re- signed from that office. No reply to the resignation had been received by Colonel Breen from Washington at a late hour last night nor had he been informed of any successor to take over the duties of the office. The resignation of Colonel Breen comes as the outcome of the recent announcement of the office of the provost marshal general that it was the intention of the department to fittingly acknowledge and reward the men in charge of the operation of the selective service law in each state by commissioning them in the national army.
 In fulfillment of their previous an nouncement, the following telegram was sent to Colonel Breen:
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 4, 1917. r. $. Breen,
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 You will be appointed captain of infantry National army to date from December 4 and assigned for duty with governor of Arizona in cOnnec- tion with selective draft. Grade for this office in states of less than one and one-half million population is that of captain. Assume your duties at once and wire acceptance to the adjutant general army Room 455. By order Secretary of War.
 MCCAIN Instead of wiring his acceptance of the offer of a captains commis sion as an acknowledgment of the prodigious amount of work trans acted in his office during the past seven months, Colonel Breen tele- graphed his resignation to the de- partment and kept on with his work while awaiting its acceptance.
 From the wording of the telegram or resignation, 1t may be that Col onel Breen felt that Arizona haC not been treated in just the righ spirit by the high officials at Wash ington. If he did, however he kep it entirely to himself.
 T have spent the biggest part O a year in the office" said Colone Breen yesterday, "and I'll step ou and give some one else a chance I will do my bit some other way 'I was willing and still am willir; t1 work for the government fo nothing in the task of selecting thi big army" declared Colonel Breen "but I would not accept a captain commission as a fitting reward fo the labor"

 While off the Delaware capes the ship was reported to be sinking. Dis tress signals were answered by the steamship Philadelphia and when she arrived the life boats had been lowered and the crew of the little fighter were preparing to abandon the craft. Water was pouring rapidly into her hold. A machinists' mate was said to have been placed in irons but this was not | confirmed. An examination showed that one Of the Jones' sea cocks had | been damaged.
 After temporary repairs the destroyer started to Philadelphia under her own steam, but on her arrival here she be- 1 gan to settle. Another examination showed that several sea cocks had been 1 opened and that there was 2 feet of | water in her hold.
