 VENICE PROTECTED
PctrOgrad Still in Hands of ReyOi- MtiOniStS--Inllabitant of City Described as Terror
 Stricken.
Associated Press Summary.)

NAsSOclated PreSS Summary.)
 The Italians apparently are holding the Teutonic allies fast along the greater part of the curving battle front, extending from Lake Garda, south of the Trentino region, to the Adriatic sea. Small gains have been reported on the northern front and at one point along the southern reaches of the Piave river, on the Asiago plateau, where it was feared the in- vaders might break thru the Italian line and force retirement of the arm- ies guarding the western banks of the Piave.
 The enemy again has met with sev- aral severe reverses, the Italians meet ing vigorous attacks with their cus- tomary stamina and repelling them with serious losses.
 Brilliant C0uater Thrust.
 Near Canove, to the west of Asiago, so strong and brilliantly executed were the Italian counter thrusts, that the forces of General Diaz were able to liberate Italians who had been cap tured by the Austro- German army in the attempted flanking operations be- fore the Italian lines stiffened last week. To the northeast of the town of Asiago the Germans report the cap- ture of the town of Fonzao, and north west of Asiago, on the Sette Comuni, the fortified position of Monte Lon- SgaTa. 4 e --'-. ----.' s'''---a'
 On the southern Piave, between Monte Sandona and Benson some 23 miles nothcast of Venice, the enemy forces crossed the stream and estab- lished bridge on the side of the Piave.
 The Italians. however, immediately turned upon the invaders and forced them back toward the bank of the river.
 Protecting Venice Treasures.
 Realizing the close proximity of the enemy to Venice, preparations are be- ing made to protect the city and it's historic buildings from the shells of the guns of the invaders.
 Sandbags have been piled high around the palace of doges and cam panile. Doubtless most of the, numerous works of Art for which thee, ity is famous already have been removed to places of security.
 Recalcitrants in Controlj
 Out of the maze of contradictory statements regarding the situation in Russia the salient fact seems to stand forth that the Bolshevski forces still are in control of Petrograd. A wire less dispatch received in London an-. nounces the complete defeat of the fol-l lowers of Premier Kernesky and Gem eral Korniloff, Monday, in fighting near Tsarkoe-Selo, while in Petrograd the recalitrants are declared to be, maintaing the upper hand against the military cadets and other adherents of Kerensky.
 Dispatches from Denmark assert that advices received there are to the effect that the soldiers and. sailors in Petrograd are committing all kinds of excesses, and that the populace is terror stricken.
 Except on the Austro- Italian front there have been no military operations of great importance.

HOT FIGHT FOR
HOUSE CONTROL
Both Party Leaders, However,
Are 0ptimiStiC-RepubIic-
ans Now in Lead.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Op-
timistic forecasts Of the control of
the next house came quickly from
democratic and republican leaders
Friday night when they heard Of
the presidents call for an extra ses-
sion Of congress April 10. Many un-
biased observers however, foresee
only long and bitter fight. unless
a coalition agreement prevents.
Both Speaker Clark and Rep
Woods OF Iowa, chairman OF the
republican congressional committee.
predicted victory for their resDec-
tive parties. Each said his party
was assured of at least Els votes
and that this probably would be
its minimum strength
q. O. Il. i'm Lead by One.
The official standing Of the incom-
ing house is as follows.
Republicans. 215; democrats. pa:
prOhibitiOnist, /; progressive. 1;
progressive protectionist. ! socialist.
1; Independent. 1; vacant, 1.
The vacancy is in the 18th New
York district which is overwheim-
ingly democratic Under the New
York law this vacancy can be I'LL
ed before the extra session begins
if a special election is called before
next Friday. II has been generally
believed Gov. Whitman would call
the election, which would make vir-
tually certain a tie at 215 between
4 Il
bership on the opening day OF the
session. Then the winning side would
have to gain the votes of three Of
the five so-called independents in
order to have a majority.
Three Republicans Ill.
Republican leaders are worried
over the illness of three of their
members and the statement Of a
fourth that he does not favor Rep.
Mann for speaker. Representative
Hill OF Connecticut, Sulloway of New
Hampshire, and Graham OF Penn
sylvania. are i'll. Though their CON
dition is not thought TO be serious
there are fears that Reps. Hill and
Sulloway may not be on their feet
again for some time. Rep. Heintz of
Cincinnati. who succeeds former
Rep. Allen, a democrat, recently
stated in a letter in reply to a qUes-
ton as TO. how he stood on the
speakership that he did not favor"
Mr. Mann. He did not say, however.
that he would not vote for him, and
the party leaders are centering hope
for his support.
To Call Caucus.
All of the newly elected demo-
cratic and republican members
probably will be summoned here for
caucus and a week or 10 days be
fore congress is reconvened. Demo
Gratis are assured that all of their
members viii caucus but several
former progressives now enrolled as
republicans. il is understood, will
decline to be bound by caucus rules.

IS Bushels of
Potatoes Taken
In at Lasalle

Two thousand youngsters stOrmed
the Lasalle theater yesterday, seek
ing admission TO the photoplay
house. The announcement had
been made that children under Is
years of age would be admitted to
the matinee for one potato. Judging
from the market reports, potatoes
nave a value of about five cents
each and it was thought that they
might be easier to obtain at home
than the customary nickle.
At o'clock. when the matinee
was over and the last child had en-
tered on the potato scale, il was es-
timated that 10 bushels of good
sized. clean tubers had been collect
ed for the Orphans home. Three
barrels were filled 10 OVERLOOKING
Cartons. boxes. buckets and bags
were pressed into service TO care for
the overflow. The front of the the
alter looked like a wholesale pro-
vision house. Two policemen were
required TO control the crowd.
The fairy tale feature. Modern
Mother Goose was one that ap-
pealed TO the little folks. They
came in droves and cheerfully con-
tributed their potatoes which we're
generously turned over to the Or
phans' home by the management.
Many amusing incidents occurred.
one yOungster brought a potato
measuring nearly eight inches in
length and secured admission for
himself and three other boys. One
lad had three small potatoes. about
the size of marbles in a grimy sack
and got by the doorman. But one
complaint was heard. That was from
little boy who got crowded into
one corner back of the organist. He
couldn't see the picture and said he
would rather have his potato back
so he could fry it and eat it.
