TEUToN FORCES CROSS THE
TAGLlAMENTO, CAPTURE 5000
Cadorna's Right Wing Is Menaced by
the lnvaders-Move Westward
italians Inspired by French.

Austro-German forces operating
against the Italians along the Tag
liamento river from the region of the
Carnic Alps southwark to the Adri-
attic sea are proving serious men,
ace.
The invaders of Venetia have driv-
en- their way across the river at Pin
zano and are proceeding westward,
while to the north, on the Italian left
wing, intensive operations are being
carried out by the Teutonic adde's,
the two maneuvers having as their
objective the cutting off Of the entire
right wing of General Cadorna's ar
my.
The Berlin war office in it's an
nouncement of the fording of the
river says 5000 Italians were made
prisoner and additional guns taken.
The Italian official communication
merely says the enemy succeeded in
bringing some of it's forces to the
right bank of the stream

LLOYD GEORGE AND
PAINLEvE GO TO ROME
to Aid ltaly-cadorna's Forces
Hold the Invaders.

Great Britain and France are rush
ing to the aid of Italy in her critical
hour. Not alone have men and guns
been sent to the battlefront along the
Tagliamento river, where the Italians
are holding the Teutonic invaders at
bay, but the war brains of Great Brit
ain and France are on the way to
Italy to consult with the Italian lead
ers.
Premier Lloyd George and General
Sir William R. Robertson, chief of
the imperial staff at British army
headquarters, are the leaders of the
British delegation, while Premier
Painleve is the chief representative of
the French mission. No details of the
plans of the joint mission have been
announced, but undoubtedly the pur-
pose is to give Italy what she re-
quires in the way of material for an
intensive conduct of the war and also
to assure her of great reinforce
ment in man power, guns and ammu-
milton.

NEW SHiPYARD WAGE
SCALE Is ADOPTED
Employers and Men Told They Must
Meet War Conditions-Ships
Are Insisted on.

San Francisco.-Uniform minimum
wage scales for the Pacific coast ship
building yards, a guide for all ship
yards in the country, were announced
Monday by the United States ship
building labor adjustment board. The
decision effects an increase of from
10 to 80 per cent over the old scale
here. although its uniformity makes it
lower in some localities than the tenn
porary scale now in force.
The decision, the first one to be
handed down by the board, declares
that employees discrimination, inter-
fering with the defense of the nation
in time of war. against so-called 'un-
fair materials, would be intolerable."
Ex-Governor Henry Mcbride of
Seattle, for the Puget sound district
and Richard w. Montague of Port

ITALIANS TRYING

REPULsE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS
OF ENEMY TO EFFECT
CROSSING
GREAT MENACE TO NORTH
German Withdrawal From Chemin
des Danes Is compIeted-Many
Aerial DueIs-British Forces
Attack Defenses OF GAIA.

Standing on the line of the Tag
liamento General Cadorna has so far
been able to hold intact his north and
south front along the river, despite
several attempts by the Austro-Ger-
man invaders of northern Italy to eff
feet a crossing.
1t is pointed out that the new
Italian front, although the enforced
retirement to it was marked by heavy
losses in men and material, affords
the strategiv advantage of being
straighter and shorter than the old
line, and therefore, the pretically, is
easier to defend.
With the known strong concentra
ton of Austrian and German forces
against the Italians, however, there
exists the menace to this line of a
thanking thrust from the north. Close
attention, therefore, is being paid to
the Trentino front, whence a heavy
blow is not an unlikely development,
provided the Teutonic intention is to
pursue the campaign in Italy beyond
the stage already reached.
Germans Announce Withdrawal.
Berlin announces the completion by
the Germans of the withdrawal of
their line from the Chemin des Danes
plateau. The Paris account of the
movement shows the German retire
ment to have extended along 13-mile
front from the Oise-Asne canal to
Corbeny. The crown prince withdrew
his line a maximum distance of a
mile to the north bank OF the Ailette,
commanding the approaches to the
fortress of Laon, the keystone of the
German line in this region
This movement was obviously
forced by the recent success of the
French in their drive southwest of
Laon, which gave them enfilading
positions for their guns and made a
large section of the German lines I'M
tenable.

MILLS URGED TO INCREASE
4. GRAIN CARRYING PRIVILEGE
Federal Administrator Outlines Plans
to r. Insinger-Ask
Dealers Aid.

Owing to complaints of large
number of farmers in the Inland EN-
pire that they were unable to sell
their wheat and get prompt returns,
r. 1nsinger, Spokane, wrote to Nj. II.
Houser, northwest agent for the food
administration grain corporation at
Portland, and received the following
which is only a part of the reply:
"Am very sorry that there should
be any serious complaint in regard to
the farmers ability to sell their
wheat. l assure you that it is no
fault of this office. We have at all
times pointed out the different con-
ditions as they exist here in compari-
son with east of the Rocky noun
tains, where the grain is delivered
more slowly and where there are
much better terminal facilities than
we have.
There already has been consider
able wheat come to terminal and
more is coming. We are urging the
interior mills to increase their carry
ing privileges, which they can do for
the asking, and beyond this we are
intending to reimburse the interior
warehousemen and dealers for carry
ing this grain wherever it will be
needed for the interior mills. This,
of course, necessitates the grading Of
all the wheat, and will leave two
courses open, either for the interior
dealer to make settlement on basis
of agreement between him and the
farmer on his grade, or leave a small
balance until the final grading has
been passed, but in the meantime pay
the farmer up very closely so that
there will be little if any held back.
This | think would obviate serious
complaint"
