WAR ON AUSTRIA
BY US. COMES IN
Time FOR ITALY
When Congress Voted DecIara'
tion and Wilson Signed it
italians Received Moral
Support.
BULLETIN.

Washington, Dec. 8-The central
powers are. developing on the Italian
front the maximum military effort of
the war, according to a cable dispatch
received here today from Rome. Ital-
ian aviators report continual concen-
tration of Austro-G Germans, who dre
streaming over all roads leading to
the Asiago plateau, where desperate
fighting still is waging.
After three days of terrible fight
ing, in which entire detachments of
Italian troops sacrificed themselves,
the Austro- Germans, the dispatch
said, succeeding in eliminating the
arch which constituted the Italian
foremost line of defense in the east
ern side of the plateau.
ASIAGO HARD PRESSED.
(By Associated Press.)
Americas declaration of war on
Austria Hungary comes at a moment
when the Italian northern front be-
tween yAsiago and the Brenta is being
hard pressed by an Austro- German
army under Field Marshal Conrad Won
Hoetbendorf.
TAKE MORE PRISONERS.
In four days the invading Austro-
Germans have forced the Italians
back an average of three miles on a
10-mile front. In addition to losing
Monte Sisemol, three miles east of
Asiago, the Italians, according to
Berlin, have given up 1000 additional
prisoners.
Although superiority in numbers
and artillery has forced the Italians
to retreat, the defense line has not
been broken and there is yet 10 miles
of mountain country to fight through
before the foothills around Bassano
are reached.
Lull at Cambria.
There is a lull in the hghthg
around Cambria and the Germans
have made no attacks in force against
the new British positions.
Hebron, southwest of Jerusalem,
has been captured by British forces.
1t is reported that all American citi-
zens in Jerusalem, probably all Jews,
have been removed from the city.
Guns are silent and soldiers are
idle along the ertire length of the
eastern front from the Baltic to the
Black sea, the Roumanians, under the
force of circumstances, having Joined
the Russians in their armistic~ nego-
tiations with the central powers.
Take Vladivostak.
Meanwhile it is reported that 1,500
Bolsheviki troops have arrived at
Vladivostok. Whether these came
from Petrograd or are units from ST.
berian towns is not disclosed. Via
divostok holds much war material
and other supplies shipped from the
United States, Japan and other allied
countries.

GERMAN AIRMEN
FIGHT With ALLIES
over SWISS City
Fleeing, Enter Switzerland
Drop Bombs, Are Fired on
and Continue Toward
AlSaCe.

Geneva, Switzerland, Friday, Dec.
1.-The first aerial battle between al
lied and German airmen over Swiss
territory occurred around Basle to-
day. 1t appears that the Germans,
hard pressed by their opponents, in
tentionally entered Switzerland. The
fight took place at great height and
the number tf the airplanes is not
known. The encounter lasted twenty
minutes. Seven bombs were dropped
on Swiss territory, but only material
damage resulted.
Eventually the airmen sped toward
Alsace, still fighting, while Swiss SOL
diers bomtarded both parties with
shells from anti-aircraft guns. The
residents of Basic and the neighbor-
ing territory are indignant over the
violation of Switzerland's neutrality.

let the show proceed and United
States Marshal Flynn was called by
telephone. He notified Chief Eber-
stein of the bureau of information,
who sent Agents Hansen and Nc
Cauley to the theater They took the
two to Eberstein's Office, where they
were questioned.
They stated that they are both Eng
lishmen. Robinson has tried twice to
enlist at the British recruiting mis-
sion here, but was rejected for physi-
cal disabilities. Ansell has registered
and is waiting to be called in the Sc
lective draft.
Some folks Ike ourselves are will
ing TO fight for this country. Others
think they are doing their bit be-
cause they rise when the 'Star-Span-
gled Banner is played" said the
men.

Alaska TRANSFORMATION Matter

Washington, Dec. 8.-The Inter
state Commerce commission today
declined to reopen the Alaska trans
portation investigation, as had been
requested by James Wickersham, for
mer Alaskan representative in con-
gress, acting on befAlf of a number
of independent coal operators.
Mr.. Wickersham alleged that GER
tain Alaskan railroads maintained dis
criminatory rates against independent
coal interests and interfered with
proper development of the country.
He asked that the investigation be
resumed and that the commission
modify its former decision that Alas
kan rates were justified.

OMAHA HALFWAY
STATION ON AIR
ROUTE ovERU.s.
Two Adjacent Army Posts Are
Logical Sites for Proposed
Postal AeropIane Stations;
Commercial Club Acts.

Postal airplanes, carrying mail
from coast to coast after the war
will probably alight enroute at Forts
Omaha and Crook to get supplies OF
gasoline and have machines over
hauled. While the government has
not yet taken official action on this
it has been mentioned in official and
semi-offcial dispatches that Omaha is
seriously considered the halfway sta.
ton in this contemplated transconti-
mental air route.
The Commercial club of Omaha has
been alive to the situation and has
lost No opportunity to aid the gov
ernment for months past in acquiring
by lease or purchase much ground ad-
jacent toe the government reserva-
tions at the two forts. Already over
100 acres has been added, principally
by lease, t. the old Fort Omaha res
ervation. All this has been done since
the balloon school has been estab,
lished there. A big observation tower
has been established on part of this
leased ground at>Fort Omaha. The
ground is to be used for the balloon
school during the period of the war
Fort Crook already has large areas
of beautiful. lying ground, which, il
has been pointed out, would make ex-
cellent aviation fields, especially for
the aDghting and starting OF trans
continental flyers. Here, too, the
Commercial club has been lending
every assistance in an effor.'to bring
about the Improvements to make this
a great and important military post
during the war.
Oma.a is centrally located with
reference to the east and west coast
on line thu great postal flyers will
follow when they begin carrying the
United States mail with terrific speed
across the continent, after the actual
war activities have ceased, and re-
leased thousands of mac. ines, and
thousands Of highly specialized avia-
tors. With Omaha already consid,
cred as a halfway station for this
great feet of aerial couriers, Fort
Omaha and Fort Crook Immediately
leap into the limelight as the logical
fields for the stations.
Work With Government.
1--WE have not been unmindful Of
these possibilities in the future in our
work with the government to help
acquire additional ground for these
posts during the period of the war, }"
said Commissioner Robert H. Manley
of the Commercial club.
For some time the Commercial club
has worked diligently with the Met
ropolitan Water District of Omaha,
to get larger main laid to Fort
Crook so as to insure abundant water
supply to make Fort Crook a per-
manent government post. The prom
ise has now been obtained from the
water board that a main capable of
carrying 100000 gallons daily will be
laid if the post is selected as the 10
cation for one of the reconstruction
hospitals now being considered.

BLINDING SNOWSTORM.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. S.--A binding
s'north country" snowstorm, accom-
panying a gale that at times attained
a velocity of more than DO miles an
hour, had held this city of desolation
in its grasp for the last twenty-four
hours, adding new terrors to the awe
stricken survivors of Thursdays dis
sster. Meanwhile many relief trains,
shurrying here from the United States
and Dominion cities with their urgent
ly needed supplies, are reported snow
bound, with the time of their arrival
,prablematical.
With every building in Halifax and
Dartmouth more or less damaged by
the explosion and fire, men, women
and children huddled together as best
tthey could and passed night of suf-
lfering. The chilling wind whistled
through smashed windows; there were
scarcely blankets enough to cover
wounded bodies, and many were un-
able to obtain food Fires were al
most out of the question and the only
lights obtainable were from oil lamps
or candles.
. Out of the chaotic conditions rich
and poor have rallied gallantly to their
duty OF caring for the injured and
homeless and accounting for the dead.
The citizens finance committee esti-
mates that there are 10000 destitute
people in the devastated area, the ma
jority OF them from the poorer classes.
Nearly 1000 dwelling houses were de-
stroyed, the committee declares, and
the actual losses and the estimated
cost of temporary maintenance will
Rproximate $30,000000.
The sufferings of those who escap-
ed injury have been increased by the
fact that every available blanket,
quilt and comfort has been requisi-
TONED for the hundreds of injured in
the temporary hospitals. Many OF
these are so gravely wounded their
only hope lies in. the best of care.
Serious fears are felt that cold, shock
and exposure will result in an out
break of pneumonia.
Communication Threatened.
A single telegraph wire, bending
dangerously in the storm, offered
Halifax 1nly precarious means of
communication with the outside
world and it was feared momentarilJ
that thi- line would snap. Telegraph
hnd telephone ,mpanies are making
tAsp-r ef.' RS to provide make
shfft Sc vice and the work is beset
with great difficulties.
While many generous offers of ma
serial relief have been received and
train loads of supplies are on the
way, the spectre of famine was
abroad tonight, for if the storm con-
tinues, it may seriously interfere with
railroad traffic. There is enough
food on hand for immediate needs,
but it will last only a short time,
unless additional supplies are re-
ceived.
{ AS the day wore on the immensity
Of the disaster increased rather than
diminished. Hundreds OF bodies
were taket. to the morgues and
rescue squads were constantly find
ing new victims buried under tons
of debris until the blizzard forced
them to cease work. There is every
reason to believe that many more will
be recovered.
