CUNGRUSS URGED
To DECLARE WAR
TURKEY, AUSTRIA AND Bull
GARIA MUST BE ADDED TO
LIST OF ENEMIES.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Declara-
ton of war against Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria. Chairman Stone, OF
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, declared to-day, seem Eek
ceedingly advisable to simplify sit
uation now anomalous"
I'VE are in fact" said he, NOW
at war with Germany's allies"
Senator Stones only reservation
was that such action by Congress
should be in harmony with the pol
icy OF the executive branch OF the
Government Although he voted
against the declaration Of war on
Germany Senator Stone has reiter-
ated that the war, once begun, has
his whole support. His statement to-
day was taken as indicative of the
agitation for war on Germany's al
lies which will face Congress when
it convenes week from to-day.
There should be an understand
ing. of course" said Senator Stone.
between the two branches of the
Government before any action is
taken. But we are, in fact, now at
war with Germany's allies. The sit
uation is anomalous. 1t would, in
my opinion, simplify matters great
ly If we should formally declare war
against Germany's allies. 1t seems
to me exceedingly advisable.
II have understood that some, VI
not large number, of Austrian
troops have been on the western
front. They may now, or soon, be
actually fighting against the Ameri-
can forces, the two forces firing at
each other. Anyway, the Austrians
are desperately engaged with Italy
which is one of our allies, Just as
much as France or England"
To have war formally declared
against the German allies also, SEN
ator Stone thinks, would simplify
matters of domestic concern, such as
measures to prevent espionage.
New or amended war tax legisla-
ton, according to Senator stone,who
also is a member of the Senate FL
nance Committee, should not be IN
dertaken until after a thorough sur
vey OF the situation. He said there
was no doubt that in many respects
the new war tax law can be improv-
ed and probably will be to remove
inequalities and injustice. The SEES
sion, he predicted, would be a long
one

about Gfty-fve years old and looks
like he had not had bath since the
sinking OF the Titanic. He is either
crackbrained or makes a pretense or
being SO, and the most we could get
out of him was that he was a labor

from three years, nine months ana
fourteen days to three thousand years

Northern Italy. Nov. 26.--Fiyc deter
mined attacks by Austro-German
forces ON the left wing of the Italian
Fourth army, near Monte Pertica,
between the Brenta and the Piave,
were delivered to-day. The enemy
rushes were broken by the defensive
troops with heavy losses to the at
iackers. Not only the left, but the
right wing and the center of the
army holding this sector was subject
ed TO attack, the enemy effort now
attaining its full force here. On
tho right and the center the struggle
-aged from Monte Monfenera west
ward. with the Italians holding their
lines at all points.
Spirit OF RuOyancy.
The fluctuations OF the great battle
have now developed to a stage where
the resisting power OF the Italian
army has been demonstrated to be
sufficient to retard. If not to prevent
any sudden rush through the passes
leading to the Venetian plains. This
was regarded as a serious menace six
days ago, but as each day has shown
the Italian lines holding solid against
repeated attacks and their defenders
ready even TO take the aggressive
against heavy orders, the feeling OF
gravity that then prevailed is chang
ing to one of restored concern and
uuwaveriug determination, coupled
with a spirit of buoyancy which per-
vades all ranks of the army and civ
ilian life.
There is also the feeling that
grieadly allied support is near at a
timely moment and that the mingled
ranks of gray, blue and khaki will
combine to form the barrier that Italy
has sustained alone until now.
Many British Officers.
Many British officers were at head
quarters to-day and the streets
showed almost as much khaki as
gray. The Prince OF Wales renewed
his earlier visit, going about the
streets and mingling with the ON
GERS at public restaurants in the most
democratic fashion.
1t is reported from the Friuli re-
glon occupied by the enemy that the
civil population has been required
to turn over all copper articles, grease
and oils in its possession within five
days. Emperor Charles is said to
have made another visit to the in
vaded region, going to the coast cit
les of Grade and MOnfalcone.
The reports from the Italian line
on the northern front were favorable
today. The heavy lighting is con-
tinuing with the Italians holding in
the main.

CAVALRY CHARGE

REMARKABLE DASH BY CANA

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 26.-Canada was splen-
didly represented in the great Brit
ish advance of November 20, which
broke the Hindenburg line and drove
the enemy back on Cambria. For
the first time since the German re-
treat from Bapaume last spring the
Canadian cavalry went into action
with their horses.
After waiting a long time oppo-
site the village of Massieres for the
signal which sent them into action,

galloped to the attack. They sue

and penetrated the enemy's coun-

What followed equals anything in

empire. A single squadron found it.
self all alone. Racing forward, with
the enemy to the right and left of
them, the Fort Garrys galloped in
section over the crest of hill con-
cealing the enemy's guns. Advance
ing down the slope they found them
selves facing battery of four light
German field guns. Charging straight
for the battery, sabering everything
as they came, the officers and men
raced to the guns.
In line of troop columns they adj
vanced, coming on so quickly that
the enemy had no time to man two
of his guns. One other was cut of
and put out of action. The gunners
attempted to blow up the fourth.
The cavalry wiped out that battery
with the sword. The majority of the
enemy gunners attempted to fiy,and
only a few brave men stood at at
tcntion beside their cannon. On
swept the little squadron. The re-
treating snemy's infantry were en-
gagged.
Inside Enemy's Lines.
Dusk found the cavalry two miles
inside the enemy's territory, com
manded by a Lieutenant. A defensive
position was essential. With sword
the horsemen fought their way
through a sunken road. There they
dismounted. Two messengers sent
back to report their position had
their horses shot under them, but
struggled back to the line. Darkness
was falling. The gallant band was
isolated Stampeding their horses to
divert the enemy's machine guniire,
what was left OF the squadron pre-
pared to return.
AS they had galloped forward,
using the sabre. they now fought
their way back on foot with the
bayonet. The retirement was sue
cession OF hand-to-hand struggles.

Reorganization Will Prob

Of Dave Fultz
BIG FIGHT SOON BEGINS

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.--A reorganization
Of the Baseball Players Fraternity under a
head favorable to the leading powers Of
baseball Is strong probability before the
present winter is over. The reorganization
Is likely TO come through propaganda fos-
tered If not originated by certain club
owners. TO show how far this move, which
aims to displacc Dave Fultz has gone, IT
need only bc said that a slipping star has
recently been writing letters To various
players who formerly took a big interest
in fraternity matters.
The letter asks when the club held its
last fraternity meeting, what interest the
club feels in the fraternity and sugEes rs
that a big man can he obtained to take
Fult2's place as the fraternity executive.
1t contains n veilcd attack on fultz and
makes a plea to the players to accept a
general reduction Of salary in view of the
present baseball conditions. II Is no secret
among big league ball players that they
lost faith In Fultz after his strike iasco of
last winter.
Fultz's thrcc-yea contract as president
Of the fraternity will expire this year, and
IL is doubtful If ne would care to retain
the office under present conditions, u might
hc added that the name Of Sam Crawford
is again coming up as a possible successor
