JURY COMPLETE;
 COURT THRoNCED
 AS TRIAL STARTS
First Witnesses Give Testi mony For State in De
 Saulles Case.

Mineola, L. l., Nov. 22-The selection of a jury to try Mrs. Blanca De Saulles for the shooting on August 8 of her di- vorced husband, John L. De Saulles, Yale athlete and club man, was completed at noon today. It had required the questioning of 136 talesmen during the 8 1-2 days of the trial to secure the jury, which was immediately sworn in. Court then recessed until 1:3O o'clock.
 The last juror selected was Alexander F. Norton, who de- scribed. himself as "a retired New York fireman" He said he had five children.
 The prosecutor announced that he expected to complete the examination of witnesses for the state tomor- row.
 Mrs. De saulles will be the first witness placed on the stand by the defense. Henry A. Uterhart, one of her attorneys, announced that she will maintain that she was mentally deranged when she shot her former husband.
 In anticipation of the introduction of the first testimony the larges, number of spectators during any of the four days of the trial had assem- bled today.
 Court officers carefully scrutinized all swho were admitted to the trial chamber this morning. Those whom they did not recognize as being con- nected with the conduct or the case or who could not present satisfactory credentials were subjected to ques- tionirR. Several were denied admit tance. It is said that this precaution was taken because of the receipt, since the opening of the trial, of sev- erai crank letters by Justice Man. ming. who is presiding. e %
 Charles; A s. DeSaulles, a brother of the murdered man. made his first appearance at the trial today. sa.
 Only one chair in the jury box re- mains unocupied with the acceptance by both sides ar George Siles, car riage trimmer. Unlike the 10 other men with whom he was seated, Siles has, no children! He is 60 years old
 Indication that the proceedings in the suit for divorce brought by Mrs De Saulles would be brought into the triad was disclosed when it became known that the prosecutor had sub poenaed. from New York all the pa pers and records bearing on the suit. The decree in this suit awarded to De SauIles custody for a larEur share of the time of their little son Jack. It was a quarrel over possession of the lad that led to the shooting.

HUNS MASS TROOPS
 FOR BIG NEW DRIVE
(Continued From Page One. }

(Continued From Page One.)
 A number of American Red Cross ambulances passed through headquar- ters today toward the Piave front. The men and cars seemed to be in good condition.
 15 The action ebbs and flows around the slopes of threelowmountains just west of the river-MOnte Tomba, Monte Monfenera and Monte Cornalla Monte Monferena is just on the edge of the river, and it is here that some of the most desperate fighting has oc. cured. It is the key to the situa- tion as at that point the river turns into the Venetian plains, and the whole battle hinges on control of the river passage leading to the plains.
 The first assaults began five days ago, when Won Bellows Germans on the lower Piave were swung north ward for this supreme blew. The attacks have intensified steadily each day until yesterday and today, when they reached the maximum.
 Beginning with artillery prepara- ton, the Austro- German infantry ad- at the northernmost mountain, Cor
 
 Italians held the line until crowded The enemy then took positions back of the town of Quero, and violent ar- tillery and infantry attacks were cen tered on Monfenera and Tomba.
 Much of the fighting in the noun tains was at close quarters. with bayonet charges and desperate hand f. C{v- rrorJA nI0 o nxfn 6n1 front. Through Monday, Tuesday and today charge followed charge and counter attack followed attack. In some of the bloodiest fighting ground has changed hands three or four times.
 At the little village of Naranzine, on the slopes of Monte Monfenera, the enemy first gained lodgment and sought to surround the large Italian force, but was thrown back by a splendid rally of the Italian lines, which swept forward with cheers un- til the position was clear. It was the bloodiest kind of fighting, with bayo- nets first and then with bayonets 'wrenched from their sockets and used as double edged knives.
 Again the enemy massed forces higher up on Monte Monfenera, backed by batteries concentrated from all points. Before this intense shell fire the Italian infantry gave ground slowly until the upper slopes were abandoned. But the fighting goes on with unabated desperation and it is Still too soon to say what the outcome may be of this heaviest blow to break through to the western 1 Venetian plains. The conduct of the Italian troops is above all praise. They are contest. ing every foot of the way, fighting like tigers and with spirit and conf. dence, even in the face of greatly su. perior numbers.

PRESIDENT WILL
 DECIDE ON NEW
 WAGE DEMANDS

Washington, Nov. 22-HGads of the four brotherhoods came here today at President Wilson's request to dis cuss with him their proposed new demands for higher wages.
 The president was prepared to take up the problem with a free hand, so 11r as the railroads are concerned, having been formally notified that the roads will abide by any steps he sees fit to take.
 An entirely new proposal which 1t Is understood the brotherhoods plan to make is that rail transportation during the war, with respect to reIa- tions of the cal fiers and employees, be dealt with by formation of a new federal commission, to have a com 'plete Jurisdiction and power over the companies and workmen.

 Miss Annie Doughty yesterday morning urged a more general acquaintance among the suffragists with all persons in their communities
 Make friends with every single person in your precinct" Miss Doughty said. There is no reason why a suffragst should not number her friends among every class of people and every indi- Vidual of that class in her particular precinct.'
 She urged especially that the suffrag- ists make friends among the socialists, as socialists are in favor of suffrage and will lend their aid when they can to the cause.
 ''Popularize the movement" she said. woman who believes in suffrage is an oddity, and we have the very flower of the wonmanhood of America in the ranks of the suffragists today

and flour are to be given the right passenger business. Railroad officials believe the plan will succeed in avert ing any food shortage in eastern cities. The embargo applying against eastbound shipments. it was said. will not apply to foodstuffs for domestic use, which will be expedited as much as possible. The roads also will move coal promptly to eastern cities and to any points where shortage threatens, directing their first eneregies to keep ing the lines open for coal and food.
 As fast as sailing ocean steamers diminish the accumulation of freight awaiting export at eastern ports the railroads will let down the bars on the embargo, permitting the shipment, ton for ton, of supplies to replace those taken away. In this manner, it is thought. the old accumulation can be disposed of and fresh shipments will await their turn.
 Finding the cars in crowded yards and making them into trains for fast eastern schedules is a task which some officials regard as almost Herculean, though necessary if adequate relief is to be obtained. Some of the roads, 1t is understood. have offered to place their own empties at the disposal of other roads hit harder by the general shortage and all the roads. 1t was said will work in close cooperation toward amelioration of conditions throughout the country.

Battles of fAirpldnes Frequent In Western Area, and Both Sides Lose Machines -Ac-
 HDity of Germans Con-
 tinueS Tn RumQni0

While fighting is going on in all the principal theatres of the war, in none of them has their occurred a bat tie of great importance. For the most part the operations are being carried out by small raiding and reconnoiter- ing parties and by the artilleryists Of both groups Of belligerents. There has been considerable aerial activity on the western front in France--bomb dropping exploits and fights in the air. In these latter engagements both the entente and Germans have lost air planes.
 During the last 24 hours three British vessels have been sent to the bottom by submarines-the steamers Cilicia. 375o tons; Margarita. S75 tons, and Ferga. new ship. the tonnage of which is not contained in available shipping records.
 For the first time in several days the British war office reports no gain for the troops of King George fight ing in France, although a small raid ing party near Gueudecourt, in the Somme region, entered a German po- sition and brought back several pris- oners. Northeast of Ypres the Ger mans succeeded in reaching a British port, but later were driven off with losses.
 Artillery duels of violence have been in progress in the Somme and Ypres
