CONSOLIDATE REGIMENTS
PROTESTS OF STATES AGAINST
PLAN ARE USELESS.
War Department Finds 1t Necessary
to Consolidate National Gua,,,
Regiments from Several States to
Organize Army for Service il
France.

Washington, Sept 29.-Consolida-
tiOn Of National Guard regiments
from different States is in some cases
essential to the early dispatch OF Nat
ional Guard divisions to France. For
that reason the policy of consolidating
guard units as military requirements
direct will be carried out, despite
protests received from States author
tiles.
This was the impression gained at
the war department tonight Of the
visit of Governor Gardner of Missouri
to Secretary Baker to lodge in person
his objection to steps taken by army
officials with regard to consolidating
units of the Missouri National Guard
with Kansas guardsmen. He will see
Mr.. Baker again Monday, but there il
no prospect that the consolidation
policy will be modified.
Secretary Baker told Governor
Gardner that officers displaced by the
consolidation would lose nothing in
rank.
The chief objection Of the military
authorities to filling up existing guarG
regiments with National Army men
from the same State, thus preserv-
ing every guard organization, lies in
the fact that the reoipent 1youId h.
composed OF two-thirds wholly un-
trained men.
Should the guard regiments be fill
ed with National Army men, theii
departure to France would be DELAYED
many months while the green mer
are trained. and the war department
wishes to expedite the preparation o1
guard divisions for active service.

While the British are apparently

ed last night on both sides of the

Intense for the past few days. Paris

After yesterdays three futile at
tcmpts to drive the British from the

ed themselves with bombarding last
night. The British official statement
is silent on the British response.
1t is believed that Gen. Cadorno's
last success on the Italian front will
be held up as the new ground is held

Front and Capture Hundreds OF
Prisoners.
Washington. Oct. 1.-The Italians
have started another big offensive
against the Austrians on the Isonzo
front, where for a fortnight virtual
Culetude had prevailed. On the
BainsizZa plateau positions have been
stormed and taken by Gen. Cadorna's
forces and 1.4O9 prisoners capture.
BY their new successes the Italians
have brought their line almost to the
fridge Of the Chiapovano river, near
Podlaca and Madoni, which also gives
them possession of nearly all of the
southeastern portion OF the plateau.
The Austrians, realizing the strate-
sic value of the Italian gain have de
iivered extremely heavy counter-at-
tacks but to no purpose. Likewise
fruitless attempts have been made to
dislodge the Italians from the south
elm slopes of Monte San Gabrielle.
Daily the Italians continue their
aerial borbardments of Austrian DO
sitions with large quantities OF explo-
Hves. The great fortress Of Po!a again
has received visitation and enc

northeast Of Triest, on the Gulf of

der of Fl. A. Garfield. fuel administra-
tor. limiting the profits of retail coal
and coke dealers throughout the
country to a basis which Is expected
to bring about an immediate reduc.
ton In prices to the consumer. The
order. effective tomorrow, directs that
retailers shall fix their prices so as To
limit their gross margins over cost To
the average Of such gross margins
during the year 1915. plus q maxi
mum of so per cent. of the 1915 mar
gin. provided that in no case shall the
average margin Of the month Of July

Local committees appointed by the
federal fuel administrators In each
State will see to 1t that the dealers
comply with the order and the dealers
themselves will be called upon to re-
turn sworn cost sheets showing the
facts upon which they have based
their prices.
DR.. Garfield selected 1915 as a nor
nal year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises In
prices did not begin until 1916. Tho
