London, Nov. l9.-The next forty
eight hours must bring the climax in
the Italian campaign.
Rome reported today that the Ital-

has been assumed on the Asiago Pia-
teau. But some hours later the Ger
man war office was able to report
new progress in the drive on the
Northern front designed to cut into
the rear of the Italian Piave line.
Scarcely five miles now separate the
Teutons in the north from the Vene-
tian plain. They have taken Quero,
the much contested town nestled
among mountains on the West bank
Of the Piave's upper course, captured
the Cerneole mountain. and wrested
positions from the Italians on Monte
Tomba, five miles to the Southwest.
The Italian position on this narrow
front is thus rendered extremely pre-
carious.
1,1OO Taken Prisoners.
Eleven hundred Italians were cap

The Italians on their part took six
officers and 202 men in their counter
offensive on the Asiago in which they

trenches lost to the invaders during
the last few days.

Representative Buchanan Does
Not Like Port Procedure

Failure TO comply with the request
that he open his trunks for the usual
inspection by inspectors at San Franc
cisco, on arrival there from Honolulu
last week, brought Congressman James
Buchanan into disfavor with the Coast
authorities, but in the end he not only
produced his keys but opened the lock,
as we'll t4fE.
The congressman was asked TO do
what other passengers were doing. He
refused on the ground that it Was IN,
necessary, He was Informed that il
was one Of the rigid requirements of
the port, no matter who the trunk own
er might be. He still refused, The in.
spector said the trunk would remain
there until il was opened and its con
tents inspected, stating that il was the
Mediterranean fy menace which causes
his request. A superior officer Of the
Inspectors department was appealed to
and he backed upon the subordinate.
Finally, the congressman threw his
keys, ON the trunk aud told them TO
open the trunk. The inspector said II
was not his duty to do this and said
he. would wait until the NJ G, got busy.
The latter finally opened the trunk, the
Inspection Was made, the trunk locked,
and the congressman angrily walked
