MORE GUARDS FOR
 NEW YORK PIERS
Ordered Placed at the Chelsea and
 Southern Pacific Docks.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Orders for placing military guards at the Chelsea and Southern Pacific piers in New York harbor went to the commander of the eastern department today from Secretary Baker. This is in line with the plan for using troops to enforce the alien enemy proclamation along important waterfrontS.
 The military patrol will be extended to other points on the New York waterfront as rapidly as the places to be guarded in this way are determined. Regulars probably will be used for the present until the proposed new fedezF1 police force of a semi-military char acter can be substituted
 Brigadier General Carter, in charge of the army's participation in the en- forcement of the alien enemy law, ex- plained today that the soldiers would be posted in front of the piers only and that police, watchmen and other civilian guards would continue to guard the piers themselves. fhe troops will be instructed to keep en- emy aliens of other persons without proper credentials from passing through their lines or from coming within 100 yards of the entrance of the piers.

Apparently the peril of the Italian the hill country in northern Italy against the Teutonic allies is at an end Large numbers of British and French orcements-infantry and arulle-%a. last have arrived upon the scene, after days of anxious wait ing in which the Italians have borne the brunt of terrific fighting on both fronts solely on their own shoulders and kept back the enemy from a fur Iher invasion of the Venetian plain
 Although faced everywhere by su pertor numbers of men and gun power, the Italians have valiantly defended every foot of ground. in the hills and along the Piave, and in the former re- gzon in recent days actually have taken the offensive against the inVad- CTS and pushed them back from strate- gic points of vantage they had gained under terrific sacrifices in lives For eight days the endorsements marched them large numbers of guns and huge supply trains. All the troops are de- clared to be in fine fettle and eager to test their strength against the enemy.
 Just where the British and French forces will be thrown into the fray has not been made known. but doubtless large numbers of them will be used to strengthen the Italian front on the north from Lake Garda eastward to the Piave, where the ustro-GermanS have been making their strongest ef- forts to pierce the Italian line

SACRIFICED HIS LIFE
 SAFEGUARDING MESSMATES
How Osmond Kelly Ingram, a Gum ner's Mate, Was Lost Overheard.
OSnond

Washington, Nov. 26. - Osmond Kelly Ingram, of Pratt City, Ala, the Sunners mate lost overheard when a German submarine attacked the American destroyer Cassin in the war zone on October 16. deliberately sac rif1ced his own life. to reduce the risk to his meSsmateS.
 A detailed report from Admiral Sims, made public today, shows that Ingram, standing aft on the destroyer where some high explosive depth charges were stored, saw the torpedo coming. Instead of rushing forward to save his own life by getting away from the explosion, Ingram stuck to the spot, throwing overheard the high explosives, which he knew would fur ther endanger the lives of his fellows if they were detonoted by the ex- rlosion of the torpedo. He was the only man lost, being blown overheard by the explosion.
 The Cassin got in under her own steam, and the ga1lantry of her crew in effecting temporary repairs was commended by Admiral Sims in special report

Federal Operation
 of the Railroads
DURING WAR LOOMING UP AS
 A PossiBILITY
IF POOLING PLAN FAILS
Vice Presidents of Eastern Lines Are Working With Members of Railroad Board on Details for a General Pool ing of the Lines.

Washington. Nov. 26-Government operation of the railroads during the war loomed as ain increasing possi- bility today in the minds of officials who, with the railroad heads. are try ing to work out a plan for relief of the eastern traffic situation. Appar- ently it is conceded that if the pooling system about to be undertaken by the railroads themselves does not solve the problem, the government will take over the operation of the roads as one sys- tenn.
 At Work on Pooling Details.
 Vice presidents of the eastern lines met here today with members of the for a general pooling in the east of as much trackage and equipment as is considered practicable. They named a committee to be put in full charge of the pool, with A. w. Thompson vice president of the Baltimore and are c. R. Gray, president of the West ern Maryland; A. T. Dice, president of the Philadelphia and Reading; P. E. Crowley, vice president of the New York Central; Elisha Lee, acting vice president of the Pennsylvania lines east; G. l.. Peck, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines west, and A. J. Stone, vice president of the Erie.
 The committee will establish head quarters in Pittsburgh and will sit continuously until the present conges- tion is cleared. It's first meeting will be held there Wednesday.
 What Pooling Plan Calls For.
 The pooling plan calls for joint use of tracks, locomotives, cars and em- ployes in the congested centers. It will not be permitted to go so far, even the railroad heads admit. as to threaten the revenues of any lines, and this is the point advocates of government np- eration emphasize as Illustrating the need for government operation. Under could pool their profits, which under present circumstances, would consti- tute violation of the antitrust act.
 All Lines as One System.
 A pooling of profits would permit of an actual opera ton of all lines as one system and it would make little differ ence whether one particular property paid if the roads as a whole were making money.
 < Government operation along the lines contemplated by officials in favor of it would not take the actual operations from the hands of those in charge of the roads. A railroad administra tor if named by the president, would be a leading railroad man, and no changes would be made in the management of individual lines But the railroad da- ministrator, clothed with the powers of the government. could take meas ures which the railroad war board fears to take because of the nature of the antitrust laws. such as the elim- ination of economic waste due to par allel lines.
 If government operation appears wise, special legislation may be asked of congress. although some officials think the president has ample poFers now under the defense act.

London, Nov. 26.-A despatch to Reuters Limited from Petrograd dated November 21 says:
 'The commanders at the front con- tinue to send in most ominouS deS- patches concerning the exhaustion of supplies and reports of forthcoming hungry hordes of soldiers invading the centers of population"
 A despatch to the Exchange Tele- graph from Copenhagen gives similar reports. It says advices received from Russia describe the situation as more desperate than ever and assert that the country is on the verge of a bloody civil war.
 According to this despatch the Rus- sian newspaper Vo1ka Marodna as- serts that the Russian armies on the northern front have for several days been without food and that soldiers daily are leaving the front in hun dreds or are dying in the trenches from cold and hunger. The newspaper adds that mutinies due to hunger have broken out on several parts of the line.
