WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
BELGIUM, Oct. 30.-tBy the Associat
ed Press Field Marshal Haig this
morning struck another daring and
successful blow at the redoubtable
German defenses on the Passchendaele
ridge and on the Bellevue spur, which
juts out from it.
The attack was launched at 5:55
o'clock and at an early hour the Ca
madam troops had swept forward along
the Passchendaele elevation and had
taken their stand in the neighborhood
of the Crest farm, which is only about
400 yards from the heart of the town
of Passchendaele North of here the
overseas men had fought their way
along the Bellevue spur-known also
as the Meetcheele spur-for distance
of several hundred yards and repulsed
heavy German counter-attacks deliv-
cred from Masselmarkt.
German machine guns, which had
just been captured at Crest farm, as
sisted in repulsing this counter-attack
by pouring heavy fire into the adj
vancing ranks.
Futher north British troops were
pushing out along the front that ex-
tends TO point near Poelcapelle, but
no news has been received from this
operation. the greater portion of which
was being conducted over terribly
marshy ground, especially along the
Lekkerboterbeek.

Ask Increase of
Fifty Per. Cent
(By Review Leased Mire.l

CHICAGO, Oct 30.-Demands for a
80 per cent wage increase will be sub.
mitted to the railways of the United
States by the members of the Switch
mems Union of North America. as a
result of the action taken by a spe-
cial committee at a two days meet
ing which ended here today. The
Adamson law enacted in 1916 to avert
a threatened strike reduced the daily
hours of labor of the switchmen from
ten TO eight, but did not increase their
earnings.
The increase was demanded, it was
announced, because of the steady rise
in the cost of living, which the union
men say has made their wages insult
ficient for fair living.
The demands are for so per cent
increase for switchmen, switch ten
ders and carmen, time and half for
time over eight hours labor in any "a
hours. The membership of the union
is about 10000 men.
Their wage scale is approximately
the same as seven years ago, except
for the reduction in the hours of la.
Dor brought about by the Adamson
law. The Chicago standard now in
force provides $3.50 day for a day
helper, $3.50 a day for day foreman,
1910 for a night helper and "a for a
night foreman. Switch tenders now
draw anywhere from $50 a month up,
according to President Heberling. and
sometimes work as high as II hours
a day.
The special committee which au-
thorized the demands comprised about
so men and contained representatives
from nearly every railroad system OIL
which the switchmen are members OF
the union.

Head of Parliamentary Mis-
sion From Japan Says That
Japan and United States
Should Be Friends in Every
Way.
(By Review Leased Wire).

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-Japan's full
cooperation with the United States in
the world-war until Germany is
crushed was pledged by DIR. T. Masao,
chairman of the Japanese parliamen-
tary mission of five, at luncheon
given in honor Of the mission here to-
day by the Japan society.
"The Japanese are determined to
cooperate with the United States until
the last" Dr. Masao said, "and viii
not stop until our monster enemy
Germany-the pirate of the seas, the
assassin of the air and violator of all
dece1cies on land, has been complete
ly crushed. When this monster enemy
of ours has been thoroughly beaten
down then, and then only, shall we
have lasting peace"
In explaining that the purpose OF
the missions visit to this country was
to enable the Japanese to get better
acquainted with the United States,
the speaker said:
Want Mutual Respect.
There is no reason why there
should ever be any lack of mutual
knowledge, mutual confidence and mu-
tual respect between Americans and
Japanese. Let us hope that our as
sociation and fellowship as allies III
this war will produce so powerful a
confidence in each other that the
Americans and the Japanese shall al
ways be allies-after the war as well
as during the war"
Lindsay Russell, president of the So
ciety, in his address of welcome urged
upon the members of the mission for
their consideration on their return to
Japan the following three conserva-
tive ideas"
A reduction OF cable tolls between
the United States and Japan; the ex-
tension of japanese publications print
ed In English for foreign consumption
and a more general knowledge by the
people of Japan of the English Ian.

tional intercourse.

WASHINGTON IS
SEEKING WAY TO
HELP ITALIANS
President Wilson and His Cab
met Discuss Situation of
Italy and May Send Coal,
Which Nation Sorely Needs.
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-The Ital-
ian situation was discussed at length
by President Wilson and his advisors
at today's cabinet meeting. discussion
touching immediate military aspects
and the extension of assistances by the
allies. Furnishing of supplies, espe-
cially coal, badly needed for Italian
munition factories, is said to be regard
ed as this countrys particular sphere
of immediate action.
While the administration shares con-
Germ over initial success OF the Teu-
tonic drive, officials are said TO reject
the opinion, advanced in some quarters
that events in I5aly can become deci-
sive of the war or even an important
turning point. II is felt that setbacks
in Italy will act as a spur rather than
a discouragemen., both upon Italy
and the other allies. There is no ap-
prehension that Italy will break Town
or weaken in adherence to the COM
mon cause against Germany.
News Awaited.
Further advices concerning the re-
treat are anxiously awaited in official
and diplomatic quarters. Army Of
ficers as well as officials of the Italian
embassy appear to be entirely conf
dent that General Cadorna will be able
to hold the Teutonic forces in check
on the new line at which he has pre-
pared for a stand.
Word that the British artillerymen
with the Italian army had brought
their guns through the retirement with
out the loss of battery was welcom-
ed today as indicating that General
Cadorna's men were holding their or
ganization in the face of the smashing
Austro-German assaults. The British
guns are all "heavies." If all OF them
have been saved, American officers
think there is every reason to believe
that much of the Italian artillery vital
TO defense in a final stand also has
been brough. back.
Losses Overdrawn.
Today's reports are taken to Indicate
that the artillery losses of the Italians,
claimed by the Germans to be enor-
nous. comprise smaller pieces and
mountain guns. On the new line, laid
out years ago as the Italian defense
front. there are emplacements, chart
cred ranges and other factors which
will aid in stemming the tide of the
enemy advance. The British big guns
will become doubly useful there.

SALVORSAN AND
OTHER DRUGS TO
Be MADE IN US.
German Patents and Copy
rights Thrown Open to
Americans Under Certain
Restrictions. VIII Aid the
Nation.
(By Review Leased Wire }

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The vast
store of German scientific information
in this country was opened today to
American manufacturers in regula-
tions issued by the federal trade CJm-
mission under which enemy-owned pat
ents and copyrights will be licensed for
manufacture by citizens in the United
States.
When the regulations had been made
public, the commission met group OF
medical men to consider licensing the
manufacture of certain drugs, princi-
pally salvarsan, used in virulent blood
diseases and non-toxic substitutes for
local anes .hetics Of which the supply
in this country has run low since the
war interrupted commerce.
Many Articles Effected.
Approximately 10000 patented and
copyrighted articles are said to be af-
fected by the COMMISSIONS order.
These include dyestuff formulas of
vital Importance 10 American indus
tries and mechanical devices of wide
use, though the humanitarian ef
fects of the order attracts the widest
attention. German though. for many
years has been in the forefront of
medical research, evolving remedies
for disease and for all kinds of pain,
all of which, patented in the United
States now will become available in
this country.
Discussion covered ques lions Of
manufacture, of control of the product
distribution of manufacture of control
of the product, distribution and price,
1t was said to be likely that any licen-
ses issued for the manufacture of sal
varsan would carry provision that
certain per cent out of the outcome be
turned over to the public health SER
vice.
No Exploitation.
Whether prices for drugs manufac-
tured under license will be determined
by the commission was not announced
but it was in timated that the commits
sion would safeguard the public
against exploitation. The trading
with the enemy act, by authority of
which the patents and copyrights will
be taken over, confers on the presi-
den-, who has delegated the trade COM
mission TO carry out the law, power to
fix conditions of licensing which
might be construed as authorizing
limitations of prices if the public well
fare demanded 1t. Prices of drugs
have undergone tremendous increases
since 1914, many remedies having in
creased as much as 1000 per cent.
The regulations issued today follow
the law closely in safeguarding the in
terests of patent owners who must be
reimbursed for the use of their inven-
tions and provides that licenses will be
issued only where the interest of the
public demands it, to supply a demand
not now being met The licensee
must give evidence of ability to manu-
facture tine article.
Will Aid Defense.
When the commission will issue the
first licenses for manufacture of adtic-
les patented by alien enemies of their
allies probably will depend en- the
time required for American producers
to meet the license requirements. Ply
sicians at today's conference were said
to have pointed out that an early sup
ply Of important drugs would be a
contribution to the national defense.
