Montreal, Nov. 29.-While Canada
expects to draw from its single men
the 100000 soldiers required under
the military service act, c. ]. Doharty,
minister of justice, said in an ad-
dress at Verdun last night, married
men will be taken if the bachelors
do not supply the quota. y
II have no desire to disguise that
fact" the minister said. i do not
think the people of Canada would
suggest we should drop our military
effort because we do not get them
from the unmarried Slen."
Mr.. Doherty added, however, It
was Incredible" to believe enough
single men could not be found.

Itatiaa Headquarters in Northern
Italy, "wednesday, Nov. 2S.-Bri-
gadier General Scriven, Of the United
States army, accompanied by an aide
and the American military attache at
Rome, has arrived at headquarters to
study the Italian situation and make
series of reports to the American
government. Major G. M. P. Muir

cussed at length. -"
Germans Push Hard.
Reports from the front show that
the enemy is still persistent, but that
little is left of his former vigor OF
attack and he is resorting to the old
device of cunning. The Germans have
posted placards in Italian, reading:
italians. we have crossed the de-
fenses oEthe Piave. Your defense is
useless. Let US pass without further
bloodshed. We shall be in Vicenza
in three days" -.
In reply to this, Italian soldiers
posted placard in German reading
"You will never pass" .
An eminent American military au'
thority summarized the situation II
this way:
Teuton Cannot Pass.
"While the danger is not yet over
| nevertheless, it seems to me from
military viewpoint that the enem!
cannot pass, being confronted by tn.
| combined, Italian, British and Frencl
forces" e.
/ His chief military reason for thi

his lines of communication freel,

closed all day and thousands OF EN-
ployes had day OF rest and reerea-
tion.

morning. Some young peoples So
cieties held special sunrise prayer
meetings. Mass and special sermons
marked the day in Catholic churches.
Protestant churches of the city held
union services, those of the Farnam
district, Kountze Park district. Ham
scom park district and Walnut Hill
district uniting in a selected church
OF their respective districts. The
Lutheran churches of the city held
union services in Grace Lutheran
church, where Rev. S. De Freese
preached the sermon.
And dinncrl There was no scarcity
of the royal bird at Omaha tables
Omahans obeyed the injunction tc
"eat heartily without wasting" II
there was any poor family without a
