ALLIED BOARD

LONDON. Nov 19-ln the House OF
Commons today former Premier AS
quith opened the debate on the Gre
alton Of an allied war council and the
recent utterances OF Premier Lloyd
George.
MIR. Asquith deprecated the setting
up of any organization to supersede
or interfere with ".the unfettered ac-
tivity and independent position Of the
general staff. He opposed interfer-
ence with the ultimate responsibility
of each allied government for its own
forces and to its own peoples.
Mr.. Asquith said he looked at the
rev machinery without bias to see
how far it would conduce to increase
efficiency of prosecution of the war by
the allies. The new scheme had been
launched. he declared, in an indict-
ment of the general strategy of the
allies on the ground that it had been
in several instances dilatory or mis-
directed. He felt he would be failing
his duty if he did not call attention to
it

George said the machinery for con-
sultation among the allies had become
inadequate and that they had suffered

CONDITIONS CHAOTIC IN
CAPITAL, SAYS FRANCIS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1e.-Ambass-
ador Francis at Petrograd reported to
the state department in a message
dated last Friday and received today
that he had recommended that all un-
attached American women and Ameri-
can men accompanied by women and
children leave the city Arrangements
have been made for them to travel Oh
the trans-Siberian railroad in two
special coaches. The ambassador re-
ported conditions in the Russiac CAP
ital chaotic but fairly quiet. There
was no central head of government
and the embassy dealt directly with
the superintendent of passage service
o. the railway in arranging for the re-
moval OF the Americans. The depart
r1ents of government were closed or
being operated without chiefs.
Mr.. Francis said he feared no dam
age to the embassy but conditions
were so unstable that he deemed it
best to get the Americans out If
possible. Information at the state de-
partment indicates that there are In
Petrograd about 200 Americans.

PHELPS PLEASES
STATE TEACHERS

William Lyon Phelps, Lampson, pro-

polls the weekend OF November 8.
The audience of teachers which heard
Professor Phelps lecture. THE Bible
as Literature" in Tomlinson hall, on
this occasion is said to have been the
largest which this building has even
accommodated.
Probably the one trait which has
done most to gain popularity for the
lecturer is the informal manner in
which his lectures are delivered. Al
though Professor Phelps is a highly
cultured man he does not permit this
fact to rob him Of his interest in the
commonplace, every day matters of
life. His lectures and writings abound
wit heVidence of this fact.
AS an example of his original point
Of view Professor Phelps portrayal Of
the story Of David and Goliath might
be cited. He says, II will never be
convinced but that 1t was a mucker
trick Of David's to hit Goliath in the
eye with rock, with the accuracy of
a newsboy before Goliath could get
close enough to strike him"

SIGNS OF REVIVAL OF
WEST FIGHTING SEEN
(Rv Associated Press1


In the Trentino and along the Piave
the Italians have the Austro-Germans
in check for the moment and there are
indications of reawakening Of fight
ing activity on the western front, es-
pecially in Flanders and around ST.
Quentin.
East and northeast of Ypres the
British are now well established on the
Passchendeele ridge. These positions
have been under heavy bombardment
by the Germans for several days, ap-
parent evidence that the Germans are
nervous and hope by their artillery
fire to check new British thrust.
Around St. Quentin, northwest of
the Ailette where the French gained
q notable success recently. German
and allied patrols have been busy.
North of ST. Quentin both the British
and Germans carried out raids.
Thrust Is RepuIsed.
French artillery has been sheiling
heavily the German positions south OF
the town for several days, and a thrust
by French troops, evidently as feeler,
was repulsed by the defenders, Berlin
reports.
Although the Teutonic pressure
from AsiaSo east to the Piave contin-
ues very strong, the Italians hold val
iantly to their positions and the invad-
ers have been unable to make much
progress On the Asiago plateau the
Italians repelled violent attacks and
near Casera recaptured an advanced
position, taking 100 prisoners. Be-
tween the Brenta and the Piave the
invaders have occupied positions from
which the Italians withdrew.
Austro-German efforts to force the
Italians back from the western bank
of the Piave at Zenson and Fagare
have failed The invading force which
crossed at Fagare has been driven
back across the river, while efforts to
debouch from the bridgehead at Zen
son were repelled by Italian counter
attacks. On the right bank Of the
Piave the Italians have taken nearly
1900 prisoners in two days.

QUAKER BOYS
WELL TREATED,
WRITES MORROW

Officers in army training camps do
not strike Quakers or any other men
in the camp, for disobedience, Harry
H. Morrow, a Quaker, who is station
ed at Camp Chester, Montgomery,
Ala, says in a letter received here.
Morrow is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Morrow of Chester.
The statement made by delegate
to the Five Years Meeting of Friends,
held recently in Richmond, of the
harsh treatment of Friends in army
camps is denied by Morrow, who says
that the man who made the statement
"does not know very much about army
life
II have yet to hear of such case
in any camp I have been in since 1
have been in the army" he says. 81
wish to state that they do not punish
manner, but they are given a fair trial
and if found guilty are punished ac-
cordingly."
Driving For General.
Morrow says that as he is driving
the automobile for the brigadier-gen-
eral he is in a position to know how
soldiers are handled.
81 suggest that the man who made
the statement enlist and find out for
himself l have yet to hear of com
missioned or non-commission officer
striking any one. If some people
would shoot like they talk the war
would soon be over"
Morrow says that the only "kicks"
that can be heard in camp are those
of men who fail to receive mail from
home. The men certainly feal, blue
when they don't receive mail he says.

From Sub Attack

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Nov. 49,
Fires kindled on the matches Of an
American freighter saved it from sub
marine attack recently, according to
officers Of the steamer which arrived
here yesterday. Shortly after leaving
an European port U-boat was observ-
ed approaching. The captain ordered
small blazes made on the matches, US
ing material almost non-combustible,
but which produced heavy smoke.
When the submarine came close the
steamer was stopped the captain told
the U-boat copmander he carried ex-
plosive and that on account of the fire
he was about to abandon ship. The
submarine Immediately departed, its
commander evidently believing an ex.
