NAVAL OPERATION OF ALL AMERICAN
 SHIPS IS PLANNED
 BY GOVERNMENT
MORE THAN 100000 MEN
(continued from Page one)

are paid now more than are naval of ficers in the lower commissioned grades.
 MORE THAN 100000 MEN
 More than 100000 officers and men, it is estimated, will be needed to man the great fleet of vessels American ship yards will turn out next year. The navy department already has trained nearly 5C,O0O men for the reserve service ana although many of them now are in active service, several thousand are available for merchant crews.
 It is considered likely that some sea- men will refuse to enter the reserves be- cause of the fact that once in and called to active duty, a man cannot resign during the war Such men would be placed on ships in other trade routes, but eventually, it appears probable, the plan will be extended to all services and men refusing to join the reserves may be forced out Extension of the plan. offi- cials believe. will work out automatically.
 The present plan also provides that a ship withdrawn from transatlantic serv- ice for another service would retain her naval reserve officers and crew.

FROM ITALIAN FRONT

Italian Army Headquarters in North ern Italy, Tuesday, November 21.-(By the Associated Press.)-A visit made to- day to the fighting ground at Monte Tomba, Monte Monfenra and other moun- tains in the fighting zone in the north, and then to the Piave line, where it joins the mountain front, afforded opportunity to see this central point of the present huge struggle and obtain from officers at several divisional and brigade head quarters, direct information in regard to the condition of affairs. The tour was made with staff officer from head quarters and covered about 100 miles with at main bases. General Garibadli, com mander of the famous Alpine brigade, declared the fighting had shown that the Italian troops could hold the line beyond any question. Speaking of the spirit of the men, he added
 If the enemy ever does get past, ow- ing to superior generalship or superior strength of gun-calibre, 1t will be only over the dead bodies of our troops for they are determined never to yield"
 The roads leading to the battle front showed increasing masses of troops being brought up for concentration on the threatened lines. Much artillery was coming in.

Inadequate Supply Of RaW Material Keeps Iron and
 Steel Industry Puzzled
Virtually Famine Conditions in Pig Iron Which Appeared Ago. Have Accented by Flood of New Inquiries Now Sweeping the Market-Coal and Coke Shortages
 Still Continue to Be Contributing Factor

relief are reflected in radical plans now in effect for unified traffic control to includ pooling of all ailroad cars and trackage east of Chicago. De- mand for basic iron especially is in tense. This grade is being sought in all directions, and buyers do not hesitate to go far outside their usual latitude to get metal, thereby paying an increased price. Orders for thou- sands of tons virtually are going beg ging because furnaces have little unsold iron for position desired. Fur thermore they are unable to get fu- ture production by normal standards, owing to the uncertainty over coke. Buying of steel corporation subsidi- aries continues to attract attention.
 More liberal attitude toward certain classes of iron and steel demand which come under nonessentials of war is being shown by government and by producers. War requirements continues to be made paramount and nothing will be allowed to interfere with them. At the same time, a clearer appreciation of the importance of maintaining established industries and of the fact that the countrys great productive capacity will permit absorption of huge tonnage of iron and steel after the peak of initial war preparations have been passed

Cleveland, November 2s.-(Special) The Iron Trade review today says; Inadequency of raw material supplies is keeping the iron and steel indus try in serious plight. The virtually famine conditions in pig iron, espe- cially in steel making grades, which appeared a week ago to have been accented by a flood of new inquiries now sweeping the market. It is not difficult to picture effect on prices this excessive demand would entail were it not for the government sup pression of the market. Coal and coke shortages continue a contribut- ing factor to the undue strain upon blast furnaces and on their own ac- count are demoralizing the opera tions of steel mills, rolling mills and other industrial plants, while condi- tions in the Youngstown district have been ameliorated to considerable de- gree, the general situation remains most unfavora ble. The car supply in the Connersville region is lowering around 50 per cent Grave aspects of present difficulties of industry have been driven home to the government.
