General Byng's victorious army

Ten thousand German prisoners

The nose of the British wedge is

The great railway centre on which
Hindenburg depends for his COM
nunication along his whole front is
within easy gun range.
But the Germans, recovering from
their first demoralization, struck
hack vigorously, recapturing the
town of Fontaine Notre Dame, just
west Of Cambrai. London asserts
that Haig has consolidated all his
gains except at this point. Berlin
declares the British last night were
launching fresh attacks.
Dutch advices from German
sources affirm that the British en-
ployed upward of two hundred tanks
in their onslaught on Tuesday.

LONDON, Nc~Ssa.--Russisn extrem-
lists. who, having obtained control OF
Petrograd and Moscow, suggest a gen.
eral armistice, now find they are
about as capable of stopping the war
as a grasshopper is of blocking a
tank. Not even the enemy will enter

It is impossible to forecast develop
ments in Russia, but it seems reason
ably certain that Russia Will not make
a separate peace, chiefly because the
Central Powers will not permit ner
The Bolsheviki regime seems doomed
TO an early failure. 1t may be succeeded
by Kaledine's Cossack organization,
with which it is reported that Grand
Duke Nicholas has allied himself IN
the hope of restoring the monarchy.
This organization opposes the Social
lists and represents the liberal factions
supporting law and order and the pro-
lection of property, but, although IT
eniovs the backing OF south and south
west Russia. it is doubtful whether

continuation of the present situa-
ton must lead either to Generalization
or complete reorganization of the mil
lions of Russians still under arms.
An utter collapse of the machine De-
hind the lines means that the soldiers
al the front will run short Of food and
ammunition, and that they Will soon
be thrown upon their own resources.
Whether they seek a way by attempt
ing TO establish a government or 70
form themselves into organized Pill

There remains a powerful railway

nowerless to create order, and RUSSIA
must drift until leader or leaders

II il the height Of folly to expect
ANYTHING in a military line from Rus

will is for war, there remains the un-
deniable fact that she is physically IN

war because Russia is a fine political

Italian Defence
Holds Despite
Fierce Attack
Teutons Claim Mountain
Positions, but Fail to
Shake Main Line

LONDON, Nov. 22.-While the enemy
has won successes between the Brents
and Piave rivers, the Italian line as a
whole still stands firm. The vigor OF
the Teuton blows appears to have di-
minished, either because the invaders
are exhausted and are waiting for
fresh troops and big guns or because
the British success on the West front
makes the German Great General staff
proceed more cautiously with its south
ern adventure.
The Italian situation is more salts
factory than a week ago. Major Cen
eral F. B. Maurice, chief director OF
military operations at the British War
Office. said to-day, but it would be
premature to say Venice was safe.
"The chances of the Germans break
ing through are diminishing hourly
he said. ave have reached the stage
where there is every reason to have
complete confidence in the situation
The Italians have been enabled 70
bring up guns, ammunition and sup
plies in ever increasing quantities and
every hours time gained by them
means a more favorable outlook. The
time is drawing nearer when the
Franco-British reinforcements will be
brought into play"
Berlin to-day officially announced the
capture of the SUBMITS of Monies Fon-
tana and Spinuccia. Fontana lies just
west of the Piave. Spinuccia is just

are surpassed in height by many emf
nences still held by Diaz's men.
Not Admitted by Rome
The Italian official statement did not
admit the advances claimed by the
enemy. Only a "few outstanding ele-
ments of advanced line on Monte Fon-
tana Secca" were reached by the foe, il
said, while Monte Spinuccia was not
mentioned.
Mountaineers from the Tyrol and
Nurttemberg troops stormed the top
of the two heights captured, Won Luden-
dorff stated.
On other sectors of the front, Rome
told of beating of masses Of assaLlting
enemy infantry and infiicting heavy
losses. In a repulse at San Marino, a
part of the Brenta-Piave defences, the
foe lost prisoners and machine guns.
The Germans tried thrice to storm
Monte Pertica, scene of similar at
tempts on previous days. but did not
advance a foot. Assaults we're renewed
on Monte Monfenera, where a terrible
conflict has ragged for several days, but
the Italian artillery cut the advancing
lines Of field gray into impotence before
they reached the defenders trenches.
Great masses OF Teutons were driven
on Casera and Meletta d'Avanti, west
of the river sector on the Asiago
Plateau, but they were forced TO with
draw to their original positions, leav-
ing many dead and wounded on the hill
sides.
Along the lower Pisve, where great
forces face each other across the river,
the activity has diminished. Won Below
has given up his costly. attempts to
throw troops TO the west bank. He ap-
parently has determined to await the
result Of his attempt to drive 20 the
plains between the Piaye and Brenta,
and so flank the lower Piave line.

Hoover Wants
LaW to Limit
Hotel Portions
Also Urges United States to
Fix Hog Prices and Deal
in Sugar
tStaf Correspondencei

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-Important
amendments to the food control law
will be proposed by the Food Ad-
ministration soon after Congress con-
venes week from Monday. Among
them are the following:
/. To regulate portions of food
served in hotels and restaurants; a
step toward fixed rations in public
eating places.
2. To stabilize the prices of PORK
products. possibly beginning with a
fixed price for hogs.
3. To deal in sugar. vegetable oils
and few other commodities as now
is done in wheat.
"While the hotels and restaurants
are effecting big savings on the wheat
less and meatless days. they still can
do much more" said Representative
Anderson, of Minnesota. after a con.
ference with Mr.. Hoover to-day. "The
portions at first-class places are too
large. They are not too large for
the price charged, but they arc much

u. S. Transports
In Collision; Escape
U.Boat's Torpedo

A FRENCH PORT, Nov. 22.-The
latest American transports 70 reach
here had an exciting trip through the
submarine zone. The first night in
the zone two transports collided. One
was slightly damaged, while the other
had small hole torn in her bow and
a few projecting guns damaged. Tenn
rorary repairs were made and the
ships proceeded.
The following night a submarine at
tackled the transports. The wake Of
q torpedo was seen off the bow OF
one of the vessels, but no coming
tower or periscope was visible. The
transports raced ahead and succeed
ed in reaching port safely. where the
collision damage was repaired.

more than the average persons can
eat.
"The size of meat portions should
be reduced and the price correspond
ingly. This would encourage the eat
ing of more vegetables and mean a
big saving in meat which is needed
for our soldiers and our allies. Il
seems that the only way this change
can be brought about is to authorize
the Food Administration to regulate
the size of portions
IL the consumer is TO get cheaper
meat Mr.. Anderson thinks 1t VIII come
only through an abundant supply at q
stabilized price. He said there is no
hone for a reduction until the packer
knows what his animals will cost and
that there will be no shortage. In
order TO get a plentiful supply the
grower must be insured fair margin
of profit. Just rs the wheat grower
has been.
To Eliminate Speculation
"The fixed price for wheat is 100 per
cent more than normal times, but by
eliminating speculation the 1000 ad-
uinistration has succeeded IN holulhR
the bread price down TO 80 per cent
above normal Mr.. Anderson said.
"The same thing can be done with
hogs. We can give the farmer his
price and at the same time reduce the
cost of ham and bacon to the con-
sumer simply because specul lation is
eliminated. thus enabling packers and
dealers 70 work on a smaller but GER
tain margin.
"The food administration needs au-
thority 10 deal in sugar. in order to
keep down the price. Cuba supplies
about three -fourths of the sugar con-
sumed here annually. Dealers there
have shown a disposition to boost the
nrice of their new crop. II Mr. Hoover
had the power to so into the Cuban
market and buy sugar in great guam
titles for this government he could
head off such moves as the one now

Germans Are Forbidden to

Enemy aliens will be barred from any
building which commands a view of
New York Harbor or the East and
North rivers, it was announced last
night.
If this order is not included in the
regulations which the President is ex-
pected TO issue to-day or tomorrow,
Thomas d. Mccarthy. United States
Marshal, will himself make the rule eff
fective here.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-11-23
Order Thought Essential

Such an order is considered by local
Department of Justice officials to be
essential to carrying out the provisions
of the proclamation creating 10O-yard
barred zone around docks and piers.
To permit enemy aliens to occupy of
fees from the windows of which they
can watch the maritime activities in
the harbor would vitiate the rule.
This proposed order will affect thou
sands of Germans where the 100-yard
zone order will affect but hundreds.
