U. S. TO CONTROL
BUSINESS DEALS
THROUGH BANKS
Government Will Use Fed
. eral Reserve System
if Necessary.

1t will not be business as usual"
for the rest Of the war. The govern
ment and business itself have already
given indications that business must
bow to the war and travel ways far
from usual.
Further indication OF this state Of
affairs is afforded last night in bull
letin from the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States. 1t warns all
business men that no new enterprise
must be undertaken unless 1t can pass
the acid test of the Council of Ma
tional Defense-"win it help win the
war"
The frivolous, the unimportant and
the luxurious must give way to the
immediate and the necessary. AL
ready the manufacture of pleasure
cars, building OF theaters, highway
construction and candy manufacture
have felt the weight of the govern
ment's power. On the first CT Novem-
ber the powerful control Of all the
channels of food distribution reposed
in Herbert Hoover will be put into
effect.
Merchants Cooperate.
Mr.. Hoover and the other govern
rlent authorities in charge OF business
here admit that the vast majority OF
the business men OF the United States
have already co-operated heartily
with the government. The issue of
Judge Lovett's priority shipment or
ders in favor of coal and sugar and
against highway and automobile and
theater material and the licensing
system of Mr.. Hoover. however, show
that when business will not Of itself
cooperate it will be forced to do so.

Army Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Sunday-Von Mackensen's drive
against the Italian army has been
checked. is the belief here today,
although the commanding officers do
not underestimate the gravity OF the
situation caused by the German and
Austrian surprise attack.
The tremendous concentration ef-
fected by the enemy at this point is
indicated as clearly showing the eo-
vantage the allied artillery could

Germans in a series OF desperate en-

enemy in the early part of the battle.
The British have outposts on the
crest Of the ridge less than a mile
from the town, representing an ad-
vance Of loo yards from the line they
held when the advance began. The
Canadians are digging themselves N
across the neck Of the Bellevue spur,
maintaining their position in the face
of fierce counter attacks.
The capture of this territory In
volved bitter fighting, and is regard
