2 Italian Torpedo
Boats In Bold Raid
Get 2 Battleships

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Two
Italian torpedo boats under Lieut.
Commander Rizzo composed the
forces which made the daring raid
into the inner harbor at Trieste
sunday night. Dec. 9. and torpedoed
two Austrian battleships, one Of
which was seen 10 sink. Further
details OF the exploit were given in
dispatch received Monday by the
Italian embassy.
The raid was planned when II
was learned that the Austrians
were preparing 10 send from Trieste
with their 240 milimetre guns to
lombard the Italian coast posi-
tions
A division Of torpedo boats under
Capt. Pignatti was assigned to the
task and the captain selected Lieut..
Commander Rizzo with two boats
TO make the dash into the harbor,
while the remainder of the divi-
sion kept outside in support.
Steal Through Fog.
BY slow and silent movement
through a heavy fog the little craft
reached the extremity of the Mug
gia pier, where the officers exam
ined the disposition of the numer-
Gus distractions which barred the
passage Mine fields and other OBJ
structions were located. and two
hours were spent cutting eight large
wire cables stretched across. the
passage other distractions were
weighted and sunk sufficiently TO
permit the boats TO pass over them.
During all this time Austrian out
posts were very near and search
lights were being played on the
water, but in spite of this the tor
pedo boats succeeded in entering
the inner port without being sight
ed.
Two Austrian battleships were
discovered at anchor at the further
end of the harbor near Point Sab
ba. Proceeding cautiously, the
Italian vessels approached TO ac-
certain whether there were any pro-
tecting nets or other distractions,
then took up positions for the at
tack.
FIRE -FOUR 1OrlDcuOeS-
Finally at $3.50 a. m. Monday the
two torpedo boats simultaneously
launched four torpedOes aimed at
the battleships. All four torpe-
does exploded. RiZzo reported that
the battleship Wien, nearest the at
lacking vessels was observed 10
sink in FIVE minutes. while the 9TH
er battleship certainly was struck,
though owing to the great distance
it was impossible TO discover the
damage done.
At the sound Of the explosions
Austrian batteries opened fire and
searchlights swept over the waters.
The lights located the attacking
vessels and the Austrian guns were
brought TO bear on them and tor
pedoes fired but the Italians es-
capped and returned safely TO base
with the supporting squadron.

CAMP UPTON, l.. l., Sept. 2O.-Ihc
fighting efficiency of Camp Upton AT
this gunless and bayonetless stage OF
training was immeasurably increased
to-day by reinforcements drawn oy
draft from the ranks Of the Gopher
Hudson Duster, McManus and Cherry
Hill free companies, or gangs.
It is a good thing, should one dwell
within the confines of the West Side
district that is called Helps Kitchen, to
be able to claim membership in, or at
least a working arrangement with, the
Gopher gang. By the same TOKEN
given residence in the gas house en-
virons, far to the east, it is just as
well to be "a McManus." Afiliation
with the Hudson busters and the
Cherry Hills, in and around their in
dividual domains, is desideratum
equally vital
Usually you don't boast of being a
Gopher, or Hudson Buster, or
McManus, or a Cherry Hitler except in
the most confidential way; for to say
too much in public about such things
is to invite an attention from the po-
lice which often is source of en-
barrassment.

Gould Pulls Weeds
In jersey Camp; Wife
to Meet His Mother
Laborer In Next Bunk Calls
Him "Gouldie" May Go
To Engineers

CAMP DIX, n. j., Sept. 20.-Kingdon
Gould, who arrived yesterday with q
draft contingent, woke up this morn
ing "Gouldie," and started his military
career by pulling weeds in front Of the
barracks. A carpenter has the bunk
on one side of his and an electrician
that on the other. They were the first
to call him "Gouldie."
In answer to the question as to his
occupation, which was put at mastering
quarters, Gould replied that he had
been a mining engineer and hoped to
be a pretty good soldier. 1t is thought
that soon he will be transferred to the
engineers.
"This clean barracks and the snappy
military atmosphere appeal TO me very
much" said Gould to-day. Now that
the time has come for me to give ser
vice to Uncle Sam / feel happy. | will
make my comrades work hard to beat
me into the non-com. rank"
Some of Gould's friends predicted
that his entrance into the army would
result in a reconciliation with his fam
ily, from whom he has been estranged
since his wedding, two months ago
His mother, Mrs. George Gould, and his
wife are expected TO visit the camp to-
gether tomorrow.

Gas Companies Urged
ByU.S. to Make Toluol

Testimony before the Public Service
Commission yesterday showed that the
government is urging gas companies
to produce toluol and other substances
used in making high explosives. Such
byproducts would mean reduction IN
the present standard candle power, 1t
was stated, but the Consolidated Gas
COMPANY will not willingly accept a
corresponding reduction in the price OF
gas.
The company's counter suggestions is
that the standard be changed from can
die mower to a British thermal unit
basis, which, it is said, would still re-
suit in good light if NANTES were used.
William F. Hine, chief gas engineer
for the commission, testified that the
production of the residuals, considered
of prime Importance by the govern
ment, might reduce gas TO eight candle
power. The present standard Is
twenty-five.
John A. Carver, counsel for the Con-
solidated, admitted that the purpose of
the company was TO reduce and change
the quality of gas, but desired still TO
charge so cents for it in Manhattan
and The Bronx.
"What this amounts to, then" said
William L. Ransom, counsel to the COM
mission, ais a proposal by the COM
panies, in fact, to raise rates.

Wilson to Rule
On Alien Draft
Chamberlain Measure Will
Be Discussed by Cab
met To-day

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.-Secretary
Lansing will lay the question of draft
ing aliens for military service before
the President tomorrow. 1t is ex-
pected that the proposal will be dis
cussed at the Cabinet meeting and the
conclusions reached Immediately COM
municated to the House. The Presi-
dents views, it is expected. will serve
as basis for amending the Chamber
lain alien draft bill, passed by the
Senate and now pending before the
House.
The Chamberlain bill is now be-
fore the Military Affairs Committee.
Representative Rogers, of Massachu-
sets, will appear before this commit
tee tomorrow to propose changes IN
the measure agreed upon yesterday at
a conference between representatives
of the State Department and the For
eien Affairs Committee.
The Rules Committee of the House
met to-day TO draft special rule pro.
viding for immediate consideration OF
the alien draft measure. After a dis
cussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of early &C
ton on the proposal. it was agreed TO
DELAY action on the rule until reports
ON the Chamberlain measure were re-
ceiyed from both the State Department
and the Military Affairs Committee.
II il expected that the alien draft
legislation, modified to meet the wishes
of the President, will be considered by
the House early next week.

with the work of examining the re-
mainder of the 100000 registered
men to determine the liability Of the
first contingent of 6S7 900. There were
examined in round numbers 100000,
which leaves 100000 to go before the
boards.
The task of assembling the great
civilian body at the environments where
they are to be turned into soldiers was
a tremendous one and one for which
no model existed.
THE problem was not a simple one"
said General Crowder. "such as the
movement of body of soldiers from
one given point to another, but arrange
ments had TO be made to pick the men
up from the 4,557 points throughout the
country where the district boards had
been established. Necessarily this
meant that the tendency was for con-
gestion to increase as railroad centres
were neared. All possible eventualitics
had to be considered by the Railroad
Commission, which worked out this end
of the mobilization, and the system we
followed will serve as a model for fut-
ure mobilization Of this sort.
Governors or the various states, il
was learned tonight, are almost unRni-
nous for the continuation of draft ex-
aminations until the physical fitness for
service Of the remaining registered men
has been complet d. The final decision
on the question will be left to Presi-
dent Wilson, but in view of the belief
row that further calls may be expected
as soon as training facilities are avail
able, 1t is expected the President will
support the War Department in its de-
ciSion TO continue the examinations.
Solomon Guterman, S25 East Six
teenth Street, yesterday notified Board
lis that he was a conscientious OBJ
jector and would not go to camp. The
notification came in a letter mailed In
Newark. n. j., and on its receipt the
police were notified to use every eff
fort to secure Gutterman and bring
him to the list Armory.

1,725 More Men Leave
City to Join New National
Army Recruits at Camp

The forces now training for the new
National Army at Camp Upton were
yesterday increased by 1,725 men from
Boards lO1 TO 1913. inclusive, all To-
Gated in Manhattan, and Boards &c to
AZ in Brooklyn. Of this number, $40
men left by way of the Thirty-fourth
street ferry TO Long Island City; Dos
departed from the Pennsylvania Sta
ton, and the Brooklyn quota of 5S1
entrained at the Carlton Avenue yards
of the Long Island Railroad.
The number of men who failed to
report for transfer to the training
camp with yesterdays contingent was
far less than that Of Wednesday, when
lis absentees were reported after the
trains had departed. Late last even
ing only eight missing men from yes
terday's quota had been listed at the
Office of Roger Wood, director of the
draft in New York City, and it was
believed that most of these would be
found to have missed the trains
through a misunderstanding. Many
boards reported that more men than
they had summoned had appeared, anX-
ious to so into training at once.

Col. w. 6. Fisk
Retains Command
OF 9TH Regiment
Unit at Camp Wadsworth
To Be Known as the 10th
in the 9th Division
Tetar Correspondence

Camp Wadsworth, S. c., Sept. w.
In tho reorganized 9th Division the
four regiments of infantry, to be
known as the 1O5th, 106th, 10Th and
1Osth regiments, will be commanded by
Colonies James NJ. Andrews. ofiTroy;
Edgar S. Jennings, of Buffalo; Willard
c. Fisk. of New York City. and Frank
II. Norton, of Brooklyn. This means
that the colonies of the regiments now
known as the I'd, Sd, 1th and Zoa'
which are to be the active regiments
and recruited up to $500 men each'
will retain their commands.
Not all the lieutenant colonies OF
the four regiments will be retained,
however, il was learned to-day. There
will also be some shifts and transfers
among majors and captains. Further
announcements as 20 personnel cannot
be made until the rules to be foiioWeG
in making promotions are received
from the War Department.
The staff officers are waiting Tor IN
structious. In the case OF vacancy
in the lieutenant colonelcy, Tor IN
stance. il is not known here whether
the promotion will go to the senior
major Of the regiment or to the senior
major of the division. The same un-
certainty exists as to promotions from
captain 10 major. J..
There is some perplexity as to
whether the many vacancies IN the
rank Of second lieutenant Will be
filled from the Reserve Corps or
wbetbcr non. commissioned officers and
nr;vates of the four regiments will be
given a chance for promotlon' lRerG
IS general hope among the New loTA
men that the latter lule WILL De Ioi-
lowed go far as the four active fesi-
ments are concerned at least.
Brigadier General Charles h. Phil-
Inns. commanding the artillery at camp
Wadsworth, is anxious to get all the
artiII.rv units in camp so that real
10y NAV be taken up. The legal for
rnsIit;es connected with securing the
hip tract of lard in the upper part Oh
this county for use as an artiiiery
range are about completed, and Will De
closed up as soon as they are approved
by the War Department, -,
In talking of the work OF the artil-
lery to-day, General Phillips said that
the work of the field artillery IN
France now is hardly recognizable as
field artillery work OF former years
Owing TO the new problems in fire con-
troll. direction and discipline involved
and the difficulties in obtaining ranges
and rapid action, more accurate meth
