City to participate in the conferences
which the Mexican envoy came here
to hold.

resented the idea of having to deal
directly with the War Trade Board,
which controls the export situation.
The State Department has not been
advised on the subject, but 1t is as
sumed that, as Mexico is sorely in
need of American corn and other prod

PARIS, Dec. rs. Representative
George II. Tinkham. of Massachusetts,,
who was injured VIXEN an army auto
mobile in which he was riding along
the Italian front dropped twenty feet
and was wrecked. arrived in Paris to-
day. He will be a passenger on the
next steamer leaving France for the

CHEESEMAN'S right hand is still in a
sling. one of the fingers having been
broken and the hand cut. His left ear
also was injured.
Representative Tirkham. who has
visited the entire Italian front, says
he feels convinced that the Austrian
advance has been definitely checked for
the winter.
The Italian army" he said, "is fight
ing with the greatest courage and the
high command is exercising the finest
strategy. If any trouble arises in Italy
it will be from the economic situation,
not the political. The supply of grain
available does not exceed an amount
sufficient for three months and the
country's hopes are fixed on the United

WASHINGTON, Dee lS.-Disclosure
Of the details surrounding the now IA
nous Hale interview with the Kaiser
in 1905 has aroused the kcenest inter

Battle in West
RACES Where u. S.
Troops Began War
Sector Held by Americans
Is Scene Of Artillery
Fighting
No Hindenburg Stroke
French Repulse Thrusts of
Germans South of Juvin-
court
No Hindenburg Stroke

LONDON, Dee. fS.-The battle of the
big guns continues with varying inten-
sity along the Western front, but as
yet there is no sign that Hindenburg
is prepared to strike his predicted blow
or that Haig plans immediate infantry
actions. No more than local patrol
engagements took place on the front
to-day, according to the official reports.
OF interest TO Americans particular
ly is the statement in the Paris COM
munique that artillery fighting was
carried on actively during the night in
the region Of the Rhone-Rhine Canal"
This is the sector where General Per-
shing's troops obtained their first taste
of actual warfare.
Whether American forces still hold
this part OF the line is not known, but
for several days there have been indi-
cations that the Americans had been
withdrawn, one German statement re-
cording the capture of French prisoners
fcom that sector.
The frequency of German raids on
this section of the front recently has
led to the belief that the enemy is try
ing 70 ascertain the exact position or
the American forces in the front line, If
they are still opposed to the Germans
there.
The Paris bulletin also chronicles the
repulse of enemy thrusts south of
Juvincourt, the carrying out of sue
cessful raids on the enemy's lines near
St. Quentin and an increase in artillery
ire on the right bank of the Meuse.
Field Marshal lIaig reports the fail
ure of German raid on the Cambria
salient.

Wheat Bread Greatest
Need OF Italian Civilians

ROME, Dec. 15.-Wheat bread is the
most important need of ltaly's civilian
population, according to the report Of
the committee on refugees Of the
American Red Cross.
1t was found that the half million
persons, mostly women and children,
refugees from the invaded districts,
now scattered through every section Of
Italy, had diminished the already
meagre bread allowance of one pound
a person a day. which constitutes the
normal ration of the ordinary popula-
tion.
The committee has obtained a CON
tribution OF 100000 lire for the aid Of
the population Of Venice, 10000 Of
whom are being moved to Rimini and
other points. It is probable the entire
population will be moved.
