YOUNGUNS HAVE GOTTA
SHOW UP FOR STUDIES
Truant Officers Says Children
More Liable to Catch Dis
ease on Streets.

II has been called to the attention
OF Joe Pierce, local truant officer,
that some parents have permitted
their children TO remain away from
school, fearing a contraction of one
of the contagious diseases that have
been reported in the city. In some
instances the school population has
been decreased by half. But this con-
dition Will not continue thru an ex-
tended period if the office of the
truant officer is allowed a word.
There has been little investiga-
ton instituted by Mr.. Pierce and as
result of this sleuthing it has been
determined that these children who
are not allowed to attend school are
being permitted to run about the
streets or loiter about the business
section where they are in greater dan
ger of becoming exposed to q disease
than were they pursuing their studies.
As n means of remedying this con-
dition and filling the partly deserted
classrooms. the truant officer threat
ems to arrest parents found guilty of
sanctionlng the absence of their chill
dren from school, Law provides a
fine of not less than $40 nor more than
s25 for days unexcused absence
from school.
At this time, II has been announced.
there are 35 cases of typhoid fever,
30 cases of scarlet fever, twelve cases
# diphtheria and number of cases
of smallpox under quarantine with no
new cases being reported.

RAILROADS LEAVE
WAGES TO WILSON
President Given Free Hand by
Operators in Dealing
With Brotherhoods.
ARBITRATION HOPES SOARING
Higher Pay Elsewhere Threat
ems to Take Away Best
Operatives.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson today was given a free
hand by the railroads in his effort TO
avert a strike for higher wages by
engineers, conductors, trainmen and
brakemen, with whose representatives
he Will confer here Thursday.
Formal announcement by the rail-
roads war board that the railroads
were ready. should any crisis arise,
10 place their interests unreserVedly
ir the hands of the president for such
disposition as he may determine is
necessary in the public interest, was
expected TO clear away misunder-
standings of the four brotherhoods
over the attitude of the roads which
had caused the unions to refuse to
arbitrate the Dispute.
Crisis Believed Passed.
Possibility of a stoppage in the
steady flow of commerce, thereby
paralyzing the nations war prcpara-
tions. was believed by officials to have
passed. They expected that an agree
ment to leave the wage question to
an impartial tribunal would result
from Thursdays conference and al
ready suggestions for means to fore
stall any further agitation concerning
wages and conditions of work during
the war which at the same time would
protect the workers in maintaining
their standards of life in the midst of
war prices. are under consideration.
England's example Of allowing the
board OF trade to regulate wages at
intervals of several months and at the
same time adjust rates to protect the
railroads is being given close study.
Arbitration Expected To Win.
Some form of continuing arbitra-
suit from the presidents conference
and succeeding negotiations. For their
part the railroads have indicated that
they may ask for some form of con
troll of wages and rates similar to that
in effect to regulate coal wages and
prices
Brotherhood officials have dis
closed a serious situation in their dis
cussiOns with Judge William l..
Chambers, chairman Of the United
States board of mediation and con-
ciliation, who has been President Will
sons representative in preliminary
conferences with both sides. They
said increased wages are necessary TO
maintain the operating personnel of
the roads against the inducements of
higher wages paid in other industries
which have government contracts
Recruiting of railroad regiments for
service in France. enlistment in the
army and the operation of the draft
law also have aided in depicting the
number of highly trained railroad
men.

ITALIANS TRIUMPH
IN BLOODY BATTLE
Austro-Germans Slaughtered
by Thousands Trying to
Cross Piave.
FIGHTING IS HAND-TO-HAND
Invaders Pushed Back Into
River, Bayonetted, Bombed
and Beaten.

BY The Associated Press
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN Tally, Sunday. Nov. IS.
The Austrians who forced their way
across the Piave river above Zenson
have been thrown into the river,
drowned. bayoreted. killed or cap
tured until now not an enemy re
mains on the west bank at that most
threatened point. The fight was one
OF the most fearful chapters Of the
war and one of the most glorious.
Details of the fight have been gath
cred from eye witnesses who saw the
fearful carnage thru Friday night and
Yesterday and who stayed until the
whole west bank was cleared except
for the corpses on the shore and the
foreground
The wounded were so numerous
mat many have not yet received sue
cor.
Determined to Win Bank.
The enemy had staked evervthlnl.
on getting to the west bank of the
river and the Italians staked every
thing on keeping him on the eastern
bank. This nerved both to despera-
non. The Austrians made the first
move Friday in two separate cross
inSs, short distance above Zenson
first at the village of Fagare and thea
at an old mill called the Sega mill
near Follina.
Several circumstances enabled them
to pass They chose place where a
sandbar ran in midstream. giving
them landing and dividing the main
stream into two small, shallow cur
rents. They carried material for AZ
linprovised bridge. This was about )
o'clock in the marning and in the
nhst at that hour they got across the
second narrow channel to the vast
BANK. Tho last ten feet the men
Waded above their waists. In their
flrst surprise attack they captured
some Italian machine guns and drove
the Italians back into the village Of
lagare. Here the real fight began.
as the italians had now recovered
IRON the surprise and fought like
de mons. 1t was hand-to-hand fight
