BOSTON. Nov 26.-Social diseases in the army have become more than question of morals and pity; they have become also a question of winning bat ties, Bishop William Lawrence of the Massachusetts Episcopal diocese de- clared in a frank address before the Episcopalian club tonight. Speaking on making an American soldier" he said that the meeting of vice condl- tions in Europe was one. of the most baffiing problems with which the mill tary and sanitary authorities had to deal and that they needed the strong and intelligent support of the whole people.
 "The loose living swashbuckler as an effective soldier has gone by the board" he said. '1 believe that the time has come when the people should know the facts not in sensational head lines but as plain facts"

IThe great body of our soldiers and sailors of our new army and navy are straight and clean said Bishop Law renee "On the other hand there are in our communities a certain number of professionally loose women, and an appallingly large number of girls from IA to 20 years of age who, attracted by the uniform and romance, emotionally stirred by the unwonted excitement either yield to or throw themselves al | the young men.

 Colonel Roosevelt declared thai what had been accomplished by the Canadians and by their sister col- onies was without parallel in his- tory. He added:
 T did not accept any invitation to speak formally in Canada until the entry of my own beloved country into the war gave me the right to come here with pride; for now, friends, your countrymen and mine have common duty, to fight this war through to a finish until we win the peace of overwhelming vic- tory. Our common purpose is to break the offensive strength of the Prussianized Germany of the Hohen- zollerns, so as to redeem Belgium and secure ample atonennent for her wrongs, so as to restore to France what Germany took from her, so as to free every people now tyrannized over by Germany or by her vasal allies.

GOVERNMENT MAY BEFORCED ID TAKE
 OVER RAILROADS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Govern- men operation of the railroads during the war loOmed as an increasing possi- bility today in the, minds of officials who with the railroad heads are trying to work out a plan for relief of the eastern traffic situation. Apparently it is conceded that if the pooling system about to be undertaken by the rail roads themselves does not solve the problem the government will take over the operation of the roads as one sys- tenn.
 Vice presidents of the eastern lines met here today with members of the railroad board and worked on details for a general pooling in the east of as much of the entire trackage and equip ment as considered practicable. They named a committee to be put in full charge of the pool with A. w. Thomp- son, vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio, as chairman. Other mem bers are c. R. Gray, president of the Western Maryland; A T. Dice. presi- dent of the Philadelphia and Reading P. E. Crowley vice presiderb of the New York Central; Elisha Lee, acting vice president of the Pennsylvania lines (eas); G. L. Peck, vice presi- dent of the Pennsylvania (west); A. J. Stone vice president of the Erie.
 The committee will establish head quarters in Pittsburg and will sit con- tinuously until the present congestion is cleared It's first meeting win be held there Wednesday.
 The pooling plan calls for joint use of tracks, locomotives, cars and em- ployes in the congested centers. It will not be permitted to go so far, even the railroad heads admit, as to threaten the revenues of any lines and this is the point advocates of government op- eratiOn emphasize as illustrating the need of government operation. Under government supervision, the roads could pool their profits which under the present circumstances would con. stitute violation of the antitrust act
 A pooling of profits would permit O. an actual operation of all lines as ont system and it would make little diff. ference whether one particular proper ty paid if the roads as a whole wer, | making money
 Government operation along tn, lines contemplated by officials in favo of it would not take the actual oper ation from the hands of those now il | charge of the roads. A railroad admin | istratOr if named by the president would be a leading railroad man an,
 no changes would be made in the man | agement of individual lines. But tn | railroad administrator, clothed witt the powers of the government, coul | take measures which the railroad wa | board fears to take because of the na | ture of the anti-trust laws, such as tn | elimination of economic waste due t | parallel lines.
 If government operation appear
 wise, special legislation may be aske
 of congress. although some official
 think the president has ample power
 now under the defense act.

GENTLEMEN WILL
 FIGHT OPENING TO SHEEP HERDS

Declaring that the very existence of the cattle ranges of the southern part of Arizona is threatened with being over-run and destroyed by sheep, the cgttle,nen of that portion of the state are uteI airing tr ai;pGAl to the federal officials to prevent the opening of sheep trail through the Apache Indian reservation.
 At a meeting of the PinaI Cattle mems association held at Florence on Saturday night and largely attended by prominent cattlemen of the state, the proposed opening of this sheep trail through the Apache Indian reser- Vation was the most vital topic dis cussed.
 It was stated by the cattlemen that the sheep would pour down through the proposed sheep trail from the nor thern part of the state on to the cattle ranges that heretofore have been free from the threatened invasion. The association decided to make an or ganized attack against the opening of the trail.
 Prepared with ample facts, com mittee representing the cattlemen will appear before the federal department heads and protest against the threat ened invasion Of their cattle ranges. Other trails besides the one through the Apache Indian reservation were proposed by the sheep men, it was stated at the meeting.
 "The cattlemen of Gila and Pinal counties believe that such trails opened up to the sheep would flood the southern part of the state with the effect of practically putting the cat tlemen out of business" declared Ed w. Stephens. secretary of the state live stock sanitary board.
 While the sheep men need certain range and protection added MT Stephens, ''it is also true that the cattlemen must also be protected 1T their ranges and interests. They are going to send committee to Wash ington and take up the matter witf the proper officials. I have every req son to believe that the heads of tht | departments regulating the affairs O. the live stock industry will give the cattlemen relief, and at least close tn, doors to the transient herds of sheeI | from New Mexico and the drouth stricken sections of Texas.
 Sheep men, as a rule, are ready ant willing to treat the cattlemen fairly, said MT Stephens. While the shee] and cattle mix on the forest reserves
 of the northern tier of counties of Ari zona, and the forestry service ha given out the statement that the sheel are of a benefit instead of a detriment
 that might be so in the northern
 rocky counties where the grasses ar
 deep-rooted. But 1t is not so in tn
 southern part of the state where tn
 soil is loose and the grass come
 from seed"

are only a few districts in the state that have feed enough, and to these favored areas, the poorer ranges are pouring their stock
 "The range conditions in the south and east portions of the state. espec- ially in Pima county, are very fine Quite a number of cattle that had been sold to go out of the state have been resoId to local men in and around Tue son. The first buyers found that there was no feed where they had intended to ship the stock.
 "The cattlemen are praying for rain. If rain comes there will be lots of feed for the cattle, but if it holds off much longer, there are bound to be large losses. In many localities in the state, the cattle are just existing. Soap weed is saving many, and all others get is cacti. The cattle certainly look tough between Phoenix and Florence and all so from there to Tucson.

Italian Statement


 ROME, Nov. 26.-Today's official announcement follows:
 Yesterday enemy masses. supported by heavy artillery, again attempted to attack our positions between the Brenta and Piaye rivers. On our left wing the enemy's efforts were di- rected against the Monte Pertica area. They were crushed promptly, and a deadly and well executed counter at tack on our part was made in answer to every fresh attempt by the enemy. At Tasson, the Monte Rosa battalion of Aipini annihilated it's assailants.
 At our center where the enemy's pressure was strongest, the fifty sixth division lived up to its enviable repu- tation. Enemy columns which with stubborn fury attacked from the north west, and north, in the direction of Monte Casonet, Col del Torso, Monte San Larolo and Monte Spinoncia, were moved down by our fire, repeatedly met by furious counter attacks and de- finitely repulsed, leaving more than 200 prisoners in our hands.
 "On our right the enemy attacks started from the eastern slopes of Monte Monfenera. The assaulting waves were first checked by our ar tillery and afterward counter at tackled, several times and repulsed by our gallant alpinio. A few score of prisoners were taken"
 The Italian government has recently taken under special consideration the International Institute of Agriculture in the belief that in a measure it is being used as agency for the central empires. The government has been discussing the most appropriate mea- sures to end any attempts of this kind. but has not yet determined whether to suspend the work of the institute until after the war or place the insti- tute under the management of a royal commission The headquarters of this 1 organization is Rome.

ITALIANS NOW REINFORCED BELIEVE PERIL OF TEUTONIC
 INVADING ARMY ISPASSED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Apparently the peril of the Italian troops guarding the Piave line and the hill country in northern Italy against the Teutonic allies is at an end. Large numbers of British and French rein forcements-infantry and artillery-at last have arrived upon the scene, after days of anxious waiting in which the Italians have borne ,.e 5runt of the terrific fighting on both fronts solely on their own shoulders and kept back the enemy from a further invasion of the Venetian plann.
 Although faced everywhere by su- perior numbers of men and guns, the Italians have valiantly defended every foot of ground in the hills and along the Piave and in the former region in recent days actually have taken the offensive against the invaders and pushed them back from strategic points of vantage they had gained under ter rife sacrifices in lives.
 For eight days the allied reinforce ments marched to the rescue, bringing along with them large numbers of guns and huge supply trains. All the troops are declared to be in fine fettle and 1 eager to test their strength against | the enemy.
 ! Just where the British and French forces will be thrown into the fray has not been made known, but doubtless large numbers of them will be used to strengthen the Italian front on the north from Lake Garda eastward to the Piave, where the Austro- Germans have been making their strongest ef- forts to pierce the Italian line.
 At last accounts General Bynss s British troops before Cambrai were holding in their entire,y the Bourbon positions west of Cambrai. Since their repulse of Sunday the Germans had failed to renew their counter attacks. Only minor operations have taken place on any sector of the front where Byng's men last week carried out their swift and spectacular operation which re- suited in the smashing of the famous

 The Germans, not knowing that British cavalry was in operation in that section, still remained in the big ditch and the Canadians reached the edge of the miniature precipice without see ing the enemy. They saw them then, in numbers, and realized for the first time that they were headed for a drop of several feet to the level of the road. Not horseman hesuared. They took the flying leap straight down amongst the surprised Germans and began their work of death. Half hundred of the enemy lay dead when the remainder took to their heels and fled toward Runilly.
 The cavalry commander then was out of touch with the remainder of the advancing British forces and decided to remain ;n the sunken road for a time until he could get orders Ac- cordingly he sent back a courier to carry information as to the location of the squad.
