dent can save him from punishment.
General Crowder believes that the
resisters in Oklahoma and elsewhere
are acting under a delusion, fostered
probably by agitators, that they are
conducting political campaign
against the draft. whereas the time
for that passed when the registration
was completed.
The government takes no interest
in their proceedings now unless they
fail to report to their companies when
called. There is no question involved
of civil court or local juries. Thir-
teen army officers will pass on the
cases of the men when they are
brought to book, and the armed
strength of the nation is available to
bring them to book.
AS to those who are aiding or abet-
ting the resisters. the situation is diff
ferent. While the government will
make no effort to bring in men who
do not obey the summons of the local
selection boards or attempt to enforce
their attendance in any way until
they have passed into the military
status, it will use every energy to
stamp out disorders designed to pre-
vent the execution of the federal laws.
Such a step, however, would not be
taken until the governors asked fer
military forces to restore order.

supply system, is at the mercy of the
British artillery.
MAIN DRIVE ON cAM5RAt.
While the British attacked on a
front of thirty two miles between st.
Quentin and the Searpe, their main
effort was on a fifteen mile front
West and southwest of Cambria,
where an advance of more than five
miles has been made. At Cantaing
and NoyeIIes, the British are within
three miles of Cambrai and on the
south they are at crevecouer, four
miles away. The Scheldt canal has
been gained, as have towns on the
ScheIdt or PEseaut river, whose
valley extends northeast through
Belgium and Antwerp.
In England the victory of General
Bynu is hailed as the greatest on the
western front and il is looked upon
as the forerunner of still greater
achievements against the supposedly
irnpreunabIs Hindenburg line. The
new tactics of the British apparently
overwhelmed the Germans and in the
view of military critics hold out great
possibilities for the future, especial
iy as to it's efficacy without the usual
preliminary artillery fire.

HOPE ON

Rear Admiral Fiske Be-

to Submarine

Boston, Nov. 22.-Hope that the
torpedo plane may prove to be the
effective answer to the German sub
marine menace, was expressed by it's
inventor, Rear Admiral Bradley A.
Fiske, before the members OF the
Aero club Of New England here last
night.
Much hope is felt by the allies
now, he said. because of the ap-
parent loss of effectiveness OF the
submarine attacks. Whether or not
the submarine has been beaten, let us
realize that the submarine is only one
of many marine weapons and that
the marine strategy recognizes the
fact that so long as an enemy's fleet
exists as a fighting force, 1t consti-
tutes a menace. For this reason, no
mere subsistence Of submarine activi-
ties should blind us to a desirability
Of sinking or disabling the German
feet.

The Associated Press. 1.-The minis
ters of war and marine arrived here
today and held a conference with
the mayor, Count Grinami, on the
defenses Of the city. They visited
all parts Of the city and carefully
inspected the arsenal and the coast
batteries.
The minister of marine went aboard
the flagship of the fleet and was re-
ceived with honors amid the broad
sides which were being directed
against enemy positions at the mouth
Of the Piave river. Both ministers
expressed qualification and surprise
at. the splendid behavior of the
population in. the face Of the Teu-
tonic allied menace.
Airplane raids continue to be car
ried out, but the dropping of bombs
is infrequent. Sirens sound the alarm
on the approach of each flotilIa Of
raiders and the population seeks
cover. But the people gradually are
becoming used to the visitations.
The roar of the bombardment
echoes through the city, but no shells
yet have fallen within its limits.
Confidence is growing that the
heroic stand the italian troops are
making along the Piave river, will
save the city.
FIorian's famous cafe on the piazza
San Marco was closed today because
of the difficulties and the dangers of
the situation. Thus passes out OF

resolution designed to force the
resignation of the cabinet OF Premier
knudsen was defeated in parliament
today by a large majority. Criticism
Of the government was directed
particularly at the foreign and food
ministers, who were charged with
plumbers in handling the food ques-
ton and in failing to yield to the
request Of the United States to place
the nation Of a food allowance.
During the debate general dis
satisfaction was expressed with NJ
Vik, the food minister, for not hav-
ing adopted a rationing system ex-
cept in the cases OF flour, bread and
oil after imports had been stopped,
Notwithstanding the expressed will
lingness OF the people to be put on

Premier Knudsen remarked
optimisticalIy that Norway would not
starve, as she was producing enough
fish and potatoes for her own sup
port. The premier also said he had
reason to hope an agreement would
be reached with America regarding
the expectation OF foods to Norway.
Beginning on Jan. /, the rationing
system will be adopted for sugar,
