Hoped Bomb Would
Force Rich Men to
Pay Him 500, 600

CHICAGO, Nov 23.-Reinhold A
Faust, former postal clerk and natural
lied German, who confessed to the po-
lice last night that he placed bomb
in the Auditorium theatre last Friday
night, during a performance of Grand
Opera, was questioned further today
by Chief of Police Schuettler and gov
ernment agents regarding many
threatening letters received by wealthy
men since the United States entered
the war
Faust told the police that he did
not intend the bomb should hurt any
one but that he believed it would in
timidate the wealthy patrons of the
opera and by this means, he said he
hoped to obtain 100000 from J B.
Forgan, chairman and Frank o. Wet

bank, to whom he had sent letters de-
manding that sum. 1t was through
these letters to the bank officials that
detectives effected Faust's arrest yes

ITALY'S HOLD
is STRONGER
(By Associated Press)

High military opinion, recently ex-
pressed that the chances Of the Ital-
ians holding the Piave line and saving
Venice are increasing hourly, seems
likely to be strengthened by the tone
of today's Italian official statement
showing continued successful resist!
ance by the Italians to the furious at
tempts being made by the enemy to
pierce their northern fronts.
The Italian first and fourth armies
defending the northern line, were the
defensive forces that added to the rec
ord OF their already notable achieve
ments. An encircling movement in
the Monte Meletta region northeast of
Asiago, was completely frustrated by
the first army although great forces
of Austro-German troops were en-
ployed in the attempt All the Italian
positions remained in the hands Of
the defenders.
The fourth army, holding the front
of the east. between the Brenta and
the Piave. was compelled to contend
all day with series of attacks in the
Teutonic effort to turn the flank Of
the Piave river line by pushing a
wedge through in tn Monte Gratta
region. The battle tide ebbed and
flowed throughout the day but when
night came the Italians had retaken
all the positions they had temporarily
lost and a final counter-attack clinch-
al the victory

QUICK ACTION SEEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Demands
for wage increase, soon to be present
ed formally to the railroads by the
four brotherhoods of the employees,
will be passed on to President Wilson
and succeeding developments will de-
pend upon what action he make take

Results of the conference which the
President had yesterday with the

do whatever was necessary for the
country's interest, and that a logical
pursuit Of this policy would require
the demands to be submitted to the

(By Associated Press,

While standing off German counter
attacks, British forces have consolidat-
ed their gains and are prepared for
another plunge toward Cambria. Gen
eral Byng's men are just west of Fon-
tame Notre Dame, less than three
miles west of Cambrai. and have near
ly completed the occupation Of Burlon
Wood, just north OF Fontaine and
which dominates the entire REGION.
Fontaine Notre Dame was the scene
of the heaviest fighting yesterday.
Wednesday night the village was cap
tured by the British Dut a strong Ger
man counter-attaek Thursday drove
the British to the western outskirts
The village Is the apex Of the wedge
which the British have driven toward
Cambria and which includes approx
mately fifty square miles of territory
formerly within the German lines.
The Germans are reported to be
rushing up reserves for counter-aF
tacks. Cambria probably has lost it's
usefulness as the German supply base
in the immediate region AS the city
and the three railroads entering it
from the north, east and south are
dominated by the British artillery.
The new wedge also is a direct men
ace to Queant, the southern end Of the
Queant-Drocourt switch line, which
held up the British advance east Of
Arras last spring. Queant is now
within sharp salient, which has been
heightened by the British advances
from Bullecourt in the present drive.
Stroke Was Masterpiece.
General Byng's stroke was a mas
terpiece of organization, according to
reports from the front. Many squad
rons of tanks cut through the great
wire defenses, opening the way for
the infantry and the cavalry, which
pushed through rapidly to the last de-
fensive line before Cambria. The
transportation service kept pace with
| the advance, the construction of roads
and railroads, Field Marshal Haig an.
nounces, having contributed largely to
the success of the operation.
That the surprise was complete is
shown by the fact that the British
! casualties were considerably less than
the number of Germans captured
more than 5000. The British also
! were able to free the French popula-
ton Of some Of the towns and villages.
| These people the Germans had been
unable to remove. The reserve Ger
man troops encountered included Grip
