WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 22.-The enemy artil-
lery firing is more active along the
American sector. Shells in more than
normal number are falling on the rear
areas. No new casualties have resulted.
In reprisal for the Smelling of the
town in which the American headquar-
tiers are located, during which shell
fell on an American regimental head
quarters, American guns sent an equal
number of shells into the correspond
ing town behind the German lines the
next day.
Patrollng operations continue, with
rightly excursions to the vicinity OF
the German wire defences. but the
Americans have failed TO encounter any
Germans, and no further casualties
have been reported.
The officers who have served their
turn in the trenches with the battalions
already relieved have held a meeting
with the commander of the first con-
tingent and discussed their experiences.
All agreed that actual training IN the
trenches under fire is the ideal method
of acouainting officers and men with
fighting methods.

Closer Relation
With u. S. Aim of
Japanese Mission
The Financial Commission
From Far East Welcomed
at City Hall

Closer relations between the United
States and Japan were outlined yes
terday at a reception given TO the
members of the Finance Commission of
the imperial government of Japan by
the Mayors Committee on National De-
fence at the City Hall.
The Mayors reception room at the
City Hall was hung with japanese and
American flags, in recognition OF the
distinguished visitors. Philip j. Nc
Cook, chairman of the Mayors recep-
ton committee, introduced them to the
committee.
After the commission had been vel
coined by Mayor Mitchell as the Far
Eastern representative of the Allies,
the guardian of the Pacific against
the navies of the Central Powers,
Baron Tanetaro Megsta, chairman of the
visiting commission, outlined the pur-
pose Of that body.
"Our mission here is to study condi.
TONS" said Baron Megsta, ito tell
Of conditions in Japan and to urge
the fullest cooperation between the
two countries. The whole world
Is IN turmoil. we are entering
a new epoch of human life. For the
past sixty years our national life has
been deeply influenced by your civili-
cation coming to us across the Pacific.
Our relations have been close and they
are constantly becoming closer. We
must know each other well and be pre-
pared for full cooperation. In this
lies the hope of future peace between
the East and the West"
Baron Megata explained that, while
the purposes Of the mission here were
essentially economic, it was hoped that
political questions between the two
great powers would be more easily
solved because of the closer industrial
relations.
I'VE hope that the result of our cf-
forts here will be frcer intercourse
between the two countries, closer ties,
binding and fuller cooperation, espe-
cially in the Far East, all conducting to
the peace and prosperity Of the world
said he.
Mayor Mitchell outlined the eXpecta-
tions of the city and nation concerning
the coming of the commission. In his
address of welcome the Mayor recalled
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-11-24

that two Japanese missions already had
honored New York, and added:
ave realize that with you we are en-
gagged in a great world struggle TO pre-
serve the liberties of our respective
peoples, for in this struggle those lib
critics are menaced. We realize that
we are allies. We realize the great
work that Japan has done in the East
in keeping the Pacific clear OF the
navies of our enemy and open to the
lines of communication with the Far
East.
1--WE realize that the day may not be
far distant when the work of Japan in
this great war will take on still greater
proportions, and when our nation and
yours will be still more intimately in
cooperation for our common purpose
in this struggle. For all these reasons,
because of the long existing friendship
and because New York Is always glad
to receive distinguished foreign visit
ors, such as the members of your COM
mission, we delight to welcome you to-
day"
The Japanese commission will make
its headquarters at the Waldorf-As-
toria and the Plaza during its months
stay in New York.

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Nov. 22.-Among the French
civilians whom the British found in
the territory won in their drive TO-
ward Cambria was man Of military
age who had hidden in a cellar FOR
three wears to escape the Germans
and had been fed by his wife with an
extra ration Of food allowed her be-
cause she had a baby. This man Is
20 years old, and in the ordinary
course would have been arrested ana
sent to a prison camp as soon as the
Germans entered the town. lie did
not want to leave his wife and baby
and 90 hid in a secret place IN the
cellar. thereby making himself liable
to the death penalty if detected:
German officers came TO live IN ms
house. and daily he heard them
tramping about above him. In ac-
cordance with the custom, this house
and all others were searched every
little while to see if any one was
concealed. but the Germans never
discovered his hiding place. Each
day. while the officers were away, his
wife struggled his little store OF
food and water TO him.
When the British entered the town
the wife, after making sure that they
were indeed British. went home and
brought out her husband, who had
his first glimpse of the outside world
since August, 1914. 1t was queer
fact that the Germans were to have
searched the house again the day the
British captured the town.
This refugee seemed to be in fair
health, Notwithstanding his confine-
ment. but his nerves were badly
shattered and he wept continually
to-day as his story was being re-
lated. He was clinging to bag CON
tanning several hundred francs which
he had carried with him into his
cave.

How the Austrians have been trying
in the last few months TO create dis
satisfaction in the Italian army at the
front is explained In the Milan Cor
riere Della Sera" By Luigi Barzini, one
of the greatest Italian war correspon-
dents.
The Austrians, says the Italian Writ
err. are doing this by means OF circulars
and pamphlets, printed in Italian
which they are throwing into the ltai-
ian trenches from aeroplanes, or. where
the Austrian and Italian lines are near
each other, directly from the Austrian
trenches.
"The circulars" writes Barzinl,
(which are of various sizes and colors,
contain strange revelations in regard 10
Italy, and demonstrate a spirit OF
friendship and disdan for our gram
mar. italian soldiers, says one circu-
lar which / have picked up near the
positions of the First Army. English
and French soldiers have, on the re-
quest of the Italian government, been
using machine guns for two days IN
Milan and Turin against old men who
were called to arms and who refused
to go to the front. Very many people
were killed and wounded
Another circular, which was widely
distributed, especially in Carn!a, says:
AT the present there are $4,000 Eng
lishmen in Italy. Their number is in.
creasing every day. They are employed
as watchmen everywhere. They have
occupied all your harbors and railroads
and they have in their hands your COM
merce. They are ruling in your cities
and they are killing mercilessly all
those who want bread and peace
"Tn Milan, Turin, San Reno, Civits-
vecchia, Florence, Genoa scys ar
other leafet, there took place great
demonstrations made by the people who
are tired of fighting and ask for i'm
mediate peace. English and French
troops were called out, and they en-
ployed machine guns and cannons
against the rioters, causing n horrible
slaughter. Five hundred people were
killed and several thousand wounded,
among them Italian officers, women and
children.
Say Italy Sold to England
"'Your government explained the
enemy, to the Italian soldiers, has
sold itself for money to England 1t
IS deaf to the complaints of the people.
Instead of giving you peace, your min
listers are giving away the independence
Of your fatherland to the English mon
ster. We, on the contrary. are always
ready to share with you the domino
ton of the Adriatic. Now is the time
