Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. - Charles D. Norton of the Red Cross war coun- cil, who has just returned from visit to the British, French and Italian fronts, recounted his experiences at a meeting today of Red Cross workers at headquarters here. MT. Norton pre- dicted that if given needed war re- quirements the Italians would make a great fight to recapture lost ground. He also told of Red Cross relief work during the recent Italian retreat, gave some interesting accounts of events among the American troops and said the Y. M. c. A. and Knights of Co., lumbus were giving splendid co-opera- ton to the Red Cross in providing comforts for men on leave.
 Americans do not realize what a gallant fight the Italians have made D said MT. Norton.
 "The Italian. has played glorious part in this war, and if the new spirit of team play among the allies results .n his securing certain definite war requirements he will make a great fight to recapture lost ground.

WASHINGTON, Nov 22-The Amer icAn destroyer Chauncey, sunk Monday with the loss of 21 men, was cut in two by the transport Rose, the navy de- partment was advised today by Vice Admiral Sims. The after part of the destroyer sank immediately, carrying down three officers, including the com mander, Lieutenant Commander Wal ter E. Reno and IS enlisted men who were believed to have been asleep in their quarters.
 The Chauncey undoubtedly was con- voying the Rose and both vessels were running through the war zone without lights. The transport struck the de- stroyer on the port side abreast the fourth funnel and plowed through the frail vessel. The forward part of the wreck remained afloat an hour, enab- ling the Rose to rescue the seventy of ficers ano men in that section. They were taken to port by the transport.
 The Rose was not identified by naval officers here today, there being no rec ord of an American transport of thai name and Admiral Sims was asked tC clear up that point

Republican A. p. Leased wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Com- plete agreement between the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, it's employees and the federal mediation commission headed by Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, was reached late today through a settlement that provides for recognition of the girl operators unions, increased wages for the operators and electricians and the machinery for peaceful settlement of any future differences during the per- iod of the war.
 Under the terms of the agreement the United States government is rec ognized as an interested party in all controversies between the company and it's employees. By agreement be- tween them and the federal mediators the government is given the final voice in disputes in the event that the two other parties are unable to reach an agreement on any question of wages or working conditions that may arise during the war.
 The outstanding features of the set clement were communicated by Secre- tary of Labor Wilson, head of the mediation commission, to President Wilson.
 Representatives of the striking northwestern unions said they would recommend to their locals that the agreement be ratified.
 An advance of 1211s per cent for mer employees becomes effective from No- vember 1. The minimum wage fol operators in the large cities of the Pacific coast was set at S9 a week an increase of s1.40. The lowest min- imum was fixed was sS a week.

They admitted that the membership of the White Rats had fallen off by the thousand, but said this was due to oppressive policies of the vaudeville managers that had made it impossible for an actor to be a White Rat and keep his position On vaudeville cir cult.
 Fitzpatrick offered as a substitute to the report of the adjustment com mittee, a motion providing that the executive council of the federation urge all actors to join the White Rats Actors union and that all organizers of the American Federation of Labor be instructed to offer the White Rats every possible assistance"
 The substitute was adopted with only a few dissenting votes.

 PETRoGRAD. Nov. P (Via London) -British admiralty per Wireless Press)-Nikolai Lenine and Ensign N. Krylenko. commander in chief of the New Peoples Commissaries of War, having issued a proclamation to the army and navy. The proclamation says:
 "On Tuesday General Dukhonin was ordered to offer an armistice to all na- tions, allied and hostile. -----
 The message was received at head quarters Wednesday and General Duk- honin was instructed to keep the peo- ple's commissaries continually in formed as to the progress of the pour parlers and only to sign an agreement for an armistice after sanction by the commissaries had been received. Hav- ing received no answer from Dukhonin by Wednesday evening, Dukhonin was asked the reason for his delay. He at tempted many times to evade an expla- nation and clear answer to orders. When a categorical order was sent in structing him to offer, immediately and formally, an armistice for the pur- pose of commencing peace pour parlers he refused to obey.
 General Dukhonin has been in formed that he has been deposed from his functions for disobeying the gov ernment and for conduct which is bringing unheard of suffering to all the working masses and to all the country, especially to the armies. He has been ordered to continue his duties until the new commander-in-ch chief or any other person authorized by him, arrives to take command. Ensign Krylenko has been appointed the new commander in-chief"
 The proclamation urges the soldiers not to allow revolutionary generals to destroy the great work of peace. It says they must guard them well, SC that lynch law cannot be used against them and so that the generals cannot evade imminent justice.
 The proclamation adds that the soldiers must observe the strongest revolutionary and military discipline. Regiments on frontal positions | must elect immediately plenipoten- tiaries to begin formal peace pour parlers and on the progress of these | they must inform the commissaries by all possible means.
