said that similar creature was known

of animal it belonged to, he was told

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Nov. 2o.-Censored dis
patches received today from Italian
headquarters pointed out the possible
necessity of abandoning the Piave river
line in order to complete preparations to
resume the offensive. Such a withdrawal
would mean the loss Of Venice and Tre-
viso.
Coincident with this possibility signi-
ficant precautionary note sounded from
headquarters, the Italian press, accord
ing to word received here, is urging
the public not to become unduly optim.
istic. London newspapers today follow
ed this same course. So far the Piave
line has proved impregnible to the Aus.
tro-German assault. Practically the only
gains which picked enemy forces have
been able to make have been ON the
northern or left wing in the mountains
The river line itself has apparently re.
sisted all efforts at breach. One rea-
son for the note oc caution against un
due optimism was very patiently the inn

FIRE IN AN Army
/. TRANSPORT is CAUSE
OF some CONCERN
Flames Broke Out Immediate
Iy Following Arrest Of
Many Germans

Hoboken, N. j., Nov. 20.-Fire broke
Iout on the army transport Pastores,
tied up at the former North German
Lloyd dock here early today. The blaze
was brought under control several
hours later, after the entire Hoboken
fire department and two fire tugs
from Manhattan had been called to
fight the blaze. The fire was discover
ed soon after the arrest of 200 Ger
mans for violation Of the President S
proclamation issued yesterday forbid
ding them within 100 yards of the wa
ter front.
The ship had been sealed for fumiga-
ton, however, when the fire was dis
covered and police and fire officers
expressed the belief that the blaze was
accidental. The damage was slight.
Army officers held curious persons
with fixed bayonets. For a time the
advisability of cutting the ship loose
and allowing her to float down stream
was discussed. The Pastores is a Unit
ed Fruit line steamship and had made
one trip to France for the government.
The roundup of enemy aliens yas
under way within twelve hours after
President Wilson issued his proclama-
tion. Soldiers, working in squads Of
four, entered saloons, stopped men on
the street and took them from rooming
houses on the water 'front.'. They were
loaded on boats at once and hustled
off to Ellis Island, from where they
probably will be sent to one of the
southern internment camps.

ITS A GOOD JOB AND
I'm GLAD" she SAID
Mrs. Howe Deliberately Plans,
and Executes Murder In
Hotel Lobby

Visalia, Cal, Nov. 20.-"It's a good
job and 1 IN glad of it," was the only
comment today by Mrs. W. C. Howe of
Oakland, wife of the Argentine manager
for the National Cash Register com
pany, on her action last night in shoot
ing and killing w. II. Brooke, rich
orange grower, at Portervillc.
She Justified her act by asserting
that Brooks had circulated stories
which had caused an estrangement be-
tween Mrs. Howe and her husband. The
shooting was carefully planned by her.
Leaving her apartment she purchased a
revolver, slipping it into her handbag,
went TO te hotel where Brooks was
stopping, intending, she said, to compel
him, at the point of the weapon, to sigh
a statement declaring false the stories
she referred to.
When she reached the hotel she saw
Brooks in the lobby and her anger over
came her. Taking deliberate aim, she
fired four times and Brooks fell dead,
without word Mrs. Howe dropped
her revolver to the floor and calmly
waited for the arrival Of PorterviIle
police to surrender. The eoroner's in
quest win be held This afternoon.
Brooks formerly worked for the Ma
tional Cash Register company in Los
Angeles and San Francisco. Mrs. Howe
has sisters living IN Portland and Los
Angeles.
