MOVEMENTS THWARTED
Teutons' Bivouacs Are Swept With
Fire BY Italian Aviators-Ar-
tiIIery Gives Good
Support.

Rome, Nov. 15.-According to the
official communication, the italians
have repulsed attacks by the Teutonic
allies along the Asiago plateau front.
The communication adds that the
enemy, with the aid of large boats,
crossed the Piave river at Zenson and
established a bridgehead, but that
they were repulsed by the Italians to-
ward the river bank. The text of the
communication:
During the night the enemy, with
renewed and greater efforts attempted
to attack the Mount Galiio-Longara-
Meletta di Gallo front on the Asiago
plateau. During a counter attack, af-
ter a desperate struggle, the enemy
was repulsed and suffered very SER
ious losses. Well supported by artil-
lery of all calibres, the Ninth infan-
try regiment of the Regina brigade
and the Verona Alpine battalion dis
tinguished themselves by their brav-
cry. During the afternoon intense
enemy movements, which were the
prelude to a new attack were thwart-
ed effectually and stopped by our ar
tillery.

TO RID NATION OF SPIES
Registration of Enemy Aliens In
U. S. Is Planned.

Teuton Propaganda.

Washington, Nov. 15.-As a step
toward Kidding the country of spies
and sabotage, President Wilson is
expected to issue proclamation
soon requiring every alien enemy
within the United States to register
The government has virtually de-
cided that this procedure is the only
way open for sitting from the 1,000,-
900 Germans in the United States
the few who are believed to be caus-
ing fires in munition plants, grain
elevators and warehouses and pro-
noting propaganda injurious to
Americas prosecution Of the war.
Attorney General W. T. Gregory
took to the cabinet meeting for Presi
dent Wilson's consideration, draft OF
regulations under which the regis
tration might be carried out.
Increase In Fires.
The recent increase in the number
of disastrous fires and indications OF
renewed operations of enemy propa
gandists has prompted officials to
consider more radical steps against
German residents. Under the pro
posed registration plan, Germans
would be given specified time in
which to report their names, occu
pations and family or business con
nections to some government agen
cy. Those not registered would be
rounded up and prosecuted Officials
believe failure of some to enrol
would give valuable clues to the iden
tity of suspicious persons.

ENTIRE FRENCH CABINET OUT
Ministry Quits When Denied Vote of
Confidence.

Paris, Nov. 14.-The Painleve min
istry has resigned. The resignation
followed its defeat in the Chamber Of
Deputies by vote of 277 to 1876.
The action of the ministry came as
a surprise, for earlier in the day the
government had received from the
Chamber of Deputies vote of conf
dence-250 to 192-after Premier
Painleve had answered various inter-
pellations concerning the forthcom-
ing inter-Allied conference and the
superior war council.
Professor Paul Painleve organized
the cabinet September IA and sue
ceeded Alexander Ribot as premier,
whose ministry resigned September
z. The new cabinet which originally
consisted of state and of under-secre-
taries, came Immediately under the
fire OF Socialists, who were opposed
to M. Ribct, as foreign minister.
This cabinet resigned October 90,
but President Poincare refused to ac-
cept the resignation on the ground
that the chamber had voted confidence
in the ministry.

An Official Story Teller.

In several of the public libraries Of
Canada story telling to children has
for some years been special feature.
Each Saturday morning from fifty to
one hundred children assemble at the
library in a room set apart for the pur-
pose and called the "children's ROOM"
The ages of the children vary from six
to fourteen years. At st. John, N. B.,
story telling has been continued now
for three years. This year 1t has been
found advisable to divide the children
according to age and to hold two
classes Of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown In interest,
and the demand for books of less
trivial type justifies the work of the
committee in charge. During the sum-
mer, when opportunity offers and a
story teller of. note is guest of the
city, notice is given to the library, and
it is often possible to have a special
session.

DEMANDS PEACE TABLE PLACE
A. T. Of L. Report, at Buffalo, Asks
Representation.

Buffalo, Nov. 13.-Demand for "ade-
quate and direct" representation of
wage earners at the world peace con-
ference is made in the annual report
of the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, submitted
to the federation in convention here.
The report declares that the world
war must wipe out all vestiges of
the old conceit that the nation be-
longs to the ruler"
Questions raised by the war occupy
virtually the entire report. No room
is left for doubt that the United
States has the unanimous support Of
organized American labor in the war.
and it is asserted with equal emphasis
that the vital interests Of the average
citizen demand that he have voice
in the establishments to come with the
dawn of peace.

London, Nov. IA Russian com.
munication received here by wireless
announces the complete defeat of
Premier Kerensky and General Kor-

The announcement follows:
after bitter fighting near Tsarkoe
Selo the revolutionary army COM
pletely defeated the counter-revolu-
tionary forces of Kerensky and Korni-
loft. In the name of the Revolution
airy government l order opposition to
all enemies of the revolutionary dem
ocracy and the taking of all measures
necessary to effect the capture of
Kerensky. l also forbid similar ad-
ventures which are endangering the
success of the revolution and the tri-
umph of the revolutionary army.
(Signed) "Mauravieff..
Commander in Chief of the Forces
Acting Against Kerensky.'
"Kerensky Retiring"
'Kerensky is retiring and we are on
the offensive" was the note of victory
sounded in a proclamation issued by
Leon Trotsky, Bolshsvih leader. An
other message said:
"Kerensky attempted to break it
by violence and Cossackdom. Both
efforts failed.
"The country sees the soviet's au-
thority is not a passing phase, but an
Interchangeable fact" Trotsky's procla.
nation continued. The opposition of
Kerensky, of the Bourgeois and the
landlords has been unavailing.
"Polkoff's detachments in gallant
blow affirmed the cause of the revo-
luton of workmen and peasants.
Revolutionary Russia and the
soviet have right to be proud of the
Polkoff detachment, commanded by
Colonel Walden.
Long live revolutionary, demo
cratic, Socialist Russia"

servation Work on Fir
ing Line.

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 15.-Aviators from the American
army have participated in bombing
raids over Germany and have been do.
ing observation duty at various points
on the battle line. These aviators are
officers of the regular army, some of
whom had been flying before the
United States entered the war. Others
of them are men who have been on
duty at training centers.
Carried in French Machines.
On the bombing raids the Afneri
cans have been carried in French
planes as bombers and observers and
have been gaining wealth of eXpe-
rience, which in the future will assist
them, as well as the new members of
the air service, who are arriving or
are to arrive.
Some of the Americans were in
several recent raids in which bombs
were dropped on German positions Of
military Importance. In observation
work the Americans have been acting
both as observers and pilots, flying in
French machines. This work has
been done at many points, but none
of the machines carrying American
aviators has flown over the sector
where the American troops are in
trenched.
No Casualties of U. S. Men.
Numbers of French machines have
been turned over to the Americans
for their own use.
No casualties among the American
airmen have been reported, although
enemy airplanes have fired heavily
upon them.
The allied officers are enthusiastic
over the work of the young fliers
and are of the unanimous opinion that
they are combining the daring of the
British flyers and the technique of the
French airmen. All the operations
in which the Americans took part
have in a measure been in the nature
of instructions.

May Talk Peace Terms.
Although it is to be exclusively a
war conference, dealing with the pres
ent and future military situation, it is
possible that the question of peace will
claim the attention of all the belliger.
ents. 1t is expected here that Ger
many will make a new move toward
peace at the conclusion of the cam.
paign in Italy.
II Germany should manifest a dis.
position to fOrego conquests, the allies
might consent to an armistice pending
a discussion of peace terms. However,
there is small belief that such a stu
alton will arise at this time, nor is
there any confidence in the story reach
ing Washington that all the European
belligerents are preparing for a peace
parley ia Switzerland in February.
In the event of a peace discussion
developing President Wilson would
have his peace commissioner already
on the scene, for that official is none
other than Colonel House. The pres.

weeks ago to begin the collection of

KILLING BABY BY DRUGS
Chicago Physician Has Another

Parents Administer Drugs Knowing
Death Will Come Within
TWO Months.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-With the full
knowledge that they will cause his
death within two months, Paul Hold
zirna, four years old, is being admin
istered deadly drugs by his parents
The drugs are being given the little
boy under instruction of DR.. Harry
j. Haiselden, who declares the child
is suffering from an extremely small
head, impaired breathing and other
incurable ailments and would be a
hopeless idiot if permitted to live
"The child's mother has endured
great mental agony since his birth
and if he lived the suffering event
ually would kill her." said DIR. Haisel-
den. She has had no rest for months
because of the constant crying of the
little one, who suffers intensely all
the time.
Some minor ailments might be
cured by an operation, but it would
not restore his mentality. The treat
ment am directing will result in his
death within two months. Opiates in
the medicine prevent the child from
suffering meanwhile. The parents
agree with nae fully and are admin
istering the medicine I give them.
"Euthanasia, or painless killing by
drugs, relieves pain and removes the
horrors of death. The patient passes
the dreamy existence of lotus eater
Indian hemp and other milder drugs
lessen a desire for food and the pa
tient passes into the next stage with

DR.. Haiselden became nationally
famous through similar action in the
Baby Rollinger case. He said today
he had recommended the same treat
ment in a number of cases.

at is to secure greater choice of
