Battle RACES on Fifty -
Mile Front in ItaIW

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Over a total Of
fifty miles the great battle which may
decide the fate of northern Italy was
developing today.
German and Austrian troops are tests,
ing the strength of the Piave river line
in six different points, according to-
Rome dispatches. They are pouring a
tremendous and concentrated artillery
fire against the italian defenders At.
four places the enemy apparently had
obtained a foothold.
Austrians from the Trentino region;
now at Asiago are Utterly slipping for
ward over the Alps by inches, suffer,
ing terrible casualties from the stub
born italian defense.
1t is this menace of a turning move
ment on the northern end Of the great
line that was regarded here today as.
of most gravity in the italian situation
Every inch the Austrians drive forward
here increases the danger to the rear
Of the Piave river line.
On the right wing of the fifty mile
line the Germans were today Within
fifteen miles of Venice. Fighting was
1 nprogress in the Vecchia marshes.
At Gallo, the Austrians, with 5000
troops, were reported trying to slip be-
hind the main body of defenders.
The strength of the Italian resis-
lance in this fateful battle was evil
denced in scores of details reported
today. Of forty-four armored cars sent
out to harass the enemy, only twenty
eight returned.

London Is Optimistic
Regarding Russian News

LONDON, Nov. 15-The Bolsheyiki
adventure in government is all but end
ed, as London read the meager Russian
news today. There was no direct word
from Petrograd, but cumulative evil
dence seemed to point to the provisional
governments gradual return to power IN
the capital.
AS Russian observers here saw the
situation the nations salvation now de-
ponds on the elements composing the
Miximalist, Radical, Bourgeoise, Peasant
and Cossack parties, and the cooperative
unions The last named include nearly
third of the total population of Russia.
1t was believed here that when the
provisional forces do regain complete
power, the Maximalists and the Radical
parties would unite on a cabinet which
would adopt a vigorous military and
foreign policy.
Whatever government emerges the
chief problem for immediate and press
ing settlement, will be some solution of
the present economic crisis. Means must
be adopted to increase food production.
AS. Russians khere. it, the pro-
visional government must uproot seeds
of anarchy sown by German propagan-
dists and radical fanatics, then follow
up with restatement of war aims.
According to indirect word from
nave USCu HlduS
to convene the constitutional assembly
soon.
On all sides here it was emphasized
that Russia has nothing to fear from the
prominent part the Cossacks are taking
in putting down the Bolsheviki revolt.
The Cossacks from their earliest his
tory have been communistic in their
ideas and intensely democratic.
Word was again received from Petro-
grad by wireless today that no report
from army headquarters had been is
sued.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-Although Pc
trograd has not been in communication
with the Nystad cable station in Fin
land for several days, Scandinavian re-
ports persist that Premier Kerensky has
regained control of the capital. Reports
come also from Sweden that the Boil
sheviki maintain their hold on Petro-
grad and are preparing for a stout re-
sistance against the forces of Kerensky
and Generals Kornilon and Kaledines.
In Moscow the Bolsheviki apparently
have been overpowered, an unofficial re-
port received in Copenhagen being to the
effect that General Korniloff has taken
the Kremlin where the extremists were
besieged several days ago. Another ru-
NOR says that Siberia has announced its
independence and proclaimed former
Emperor Nicholas as emperor.

Throughout the campaign Persons and
Durham have been working hand in

the nomination of Persons On the other
hand 1t is suggested that the Holder

him in the lead. but neither would have
enough votes to win out This being
the case the nomination would doubtless
depend upon the Muscogee vote.

grown successfully about as far north

Nd RAILROAD STRIKE
PROBABLE; SAYS LEE;
DICTATOR IS URGED
With Magnates CIamoring for
Increased Rates and Train
men Demanding Higher Pay,
President May Act

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 15.-"There
is not going to be a railroad strike
don't even imagine it for minute"
With that statement, w. G. Lee, pres
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, which is voting on a demand
for increased wages, registered today
his faith in Resident Wilson's policy.
Lee was asked whether he thought the
presidents policy led to a government
dictatorship over the railroads.
81 wouldn't want to gamble that it
doesn't" he replied.
Lee again asserted that the trainmen
are entitled to "a full stomach" He tr>
timated the trainmen will firmly demand
higher wages. He said "and you know
as we'll as l that the railroads won't
grant them without increased revenues. -
This led to the inference that Lee ca
poets the deadlock which President Will
son spoke of in his letter to the chair
man of the United States board of me-
diation and Cancellation when he ques-
toned the possibility of being obliged
to take unusual measures to operate
the railroads "
Lee nailed as a pipe dream" the sug-
gestion that the president might draft
the railway employees and force them
to work at army wages.
I'VE have talked to the president
about that" he said, but would not state
what assurances. if any, the president
gave.
There is no law for such action, "
said Lee. THE governments policy
points the other way. The whole trend
has been to raise existing wages of nee
essary employees when the government
asks their unstinted cooperation to win
the war"
Points to- England
Lee pointed to Englands railway die
tatorship, sanctioned by both the rail-
roads and the employees, which meant
bigger profits and higher wages
"And let no one question the patri-
otism of the railway trainmen," declared
Lee "The full stomach is all we de-
mand."
Lee then told for the first time of the
cancellation of law governing his
brotherhood to encourage enlistments of
trainmen in the nations fighting forces
The insurance department, said Lee,
has been governed by a law which auto
matically cancels the insurance of MEM
bers if they go to war.
81 set that law aside by executive &C
tion," said Lee. I'm case a trainman
enlists his insurance dues are paid by
the grand lodge, and his insurance
holds This will cost us millions or
dollars, but it is an act of patriotism
on the part of the trainmen and there
have been no objections"
Lees executive order closed with the
statement:
1--WE have felt the great patriotic
heart of the railway employees of the
United States and Canada. If we have
erred in the interests of liberty and HUI
manity, we ask your tolerance. 1t often
has been said by our enemies that or
ganized labor is a menace to good gov
eminent Now that we are fighting the
enemies of democracy our loyalty will
be proved"
