MILITARY CHIEFS ON BOARD

WASHINGTON, Nov. Safe ar
rival at British port OF the American
commissioners to the allied war con-
ference. headed by Col. II. NJ. House,
was announced late today by the state
department.
Members OF the mission are Ad-
miral William y. Benson, chief or
naval operations: Gen. Tasker IL.
Bliss chief of the army staff; Oscar
T. Crosby, assistant secretary OF the
treasury; Vance Mccormick, chair
man OF the war trade board; Balm
bridge Colby of the shipping board
DR.. Alonzo Il. Taylor OF the food ad-
ministration and Gordon Auchincloss,
secretary.
In making the announcement. Sec
retary Lansing said the conference
would be essentially war conference
with the object Of perfecting more
complete coordination of the activi-
ties of the allied nations In order to
attain the highest efficiency. This is
the American governments first defi-
mite announcement of the purpose OF
the meeting.
America Sends Best.
Even the fact that the Americans
We're to participate in the conference
had been named had been care
fully guarded secret until they were
thru the submarine zone and safe on
British soil The part that the United
States is to play in framing the great
allied program IL emphasized by the
fact that the mission. headed by
President Wilson's personal friend
and adviser. includes the highest Of
ficers of the army and navy.
Secretary Lansing made this state
ment:
There undoubtedly will be an eff
fort to avoid any conflict of interest
among the participants and there is
every reason to anticipate that the
result will be fuller cooperation and
consequently a much higher eff
cheney and more vigorous prosecu-
ton of The war.
Efficiency Desired.
"The United States, in the employ
ment of its man power and material
resources, desires to use them to the
greatest advantage against Germany.
1t has been no easy problem to de-
termine how they can be used most
effectively since the independent pre-
sentation of requirements by the al
lied governments have been more or
less conflicting on account of each
governments appreciation of its own
wants, which are naturally given
greater Importance than the wants of
other governments. BY general sur
vey of the whole situation and free
discussion of the needs of all, the APP
preaching conference undoubtedly
will be able to give the demands Of
the several governments their true
perspective and proper place in the
general plans for the conduct of the
war.
"In looking forward to the assem-
bling of the conference II cannot be
too strongly emphasized that 1t is a
war conference and nothing else de-
voted to devising ways and means to
intensity the efforts of the belliger-
ents against Germany by complete CO.
operation under a general plan. and
thus bring the conflict to a speedy
and satisfactory conclusion"

MANCHESTER Nov. THE Brit

drew Bonar Law, at a great war

that Great Britain could look to the
future not only with hope but with
absolute confidence. He said that

mightior force never existed"
"Great Britain has trebled the
airplane engine production since Oc-
tober, 1916" he said.
"As for the submarine campaign"
continued the chancellor, II can say
with certainty that 1t is not going
to bring us to our knees"
Has Faith In Italy
Referring to the Italian situation
Mr.. Bonar Law said:
I'VE are watching with the deep
est anxiety what is happening in
Italy-with deep anxiety but not
without hope"
lie believed the Italian army would
be able to stop the German advance
Until aid had come from Great Britain
and France.
"a great effort is being made by
small section to frighten depositors,
particularly small investors. from
lending money to the state by saying
that IL IS unsafe" he said. Nothing
could be more absurd. II is also nom
sense to say that the debt would be
repudinted If we lose this war Il
might be. No investment i'm this king
dom would be safe IL that happened.
II would not be the loss of our money
we would think about then.'

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY. Nov. 7.-On
the effectiveness with which a re-
concentration can be carried out on
the newly chosen Italian front de-
pends the issue of the military move
ment now In progress. This recon-
centration is developing with reason
able promptness considering the
magnitude OF the reorganization nee
essary after the recent retreat and
the enemy's pressure. now extending
alocg 15 miles OF the Tagliamento.
In military circles II Is felt
that something more IL needed
than assurances from Itnly's al
lies as time presses for getting
actual rcinfOrccmcnts of men
and munitions on the threatened
line. II Is considered that this
is an emergency which should
stir the allies to real action I'm
sending important help as the
enemy masses are so Ovcrwhelm-
ing that small additions to the
defensive forces will not turn
the tide ut the decisive moment.
The report indicates that the CEN
trail powers have staked everything
on trying to crush Italy while she
alone is bearing the entire cam
paign with the allied Teutonic forces
The feeling therefore Is that 1t is
no less in the interest of the allies
than of Italy that adequate rein
forcements should second the effort
to stop the immediate onslaught and
be in a position to follow up what
must inevitably develop as the result
of the present operations.
The Italian armies are continuing
their retreat westward over the
Venetian plain from the Tagliamento
river and southwark from the Dolo-
mites and Carnic Alps region toward
the plain The retreat is declared by
the italian war office to be an order
