1875 UNIFORM AND FLAG
DUG UP IN DOBBs FERRY.

In digging up the floor of Dobbs
Ferry's oldest house yesterday, says
the New York World, workmen came
upon coat of the sort worn by Con-
tinental soldiers, in which was wrap
ped white linen flag "a by 36 inches.
At the flags top were printed the
words Liberty or Death" AMI on its
left was the imprint of two daggers
crossed, with a red cap harg on the
hilt of one.
Dobbs, Ferry natives believe the aat
and flag were hidden BY continental

The house, If brick, is IN Main
street, near Chestnut street, and by
many years is the oldest in that Sec
ton.

RUSSIA MAY Be TEUTON ALLY;
GERMAN AGENTS IN PETROGRN)

With Germans openly advising Len
inc and hissfollowers, it is assumed
that efforts will be made to carry
Russia into the position of an active
allyt'of the central powers. This
might produce most serious situa.
tion by making available to Germany
the vast stores of food, oil and cotton
of Russia and even though the leu
tons found it impossible to convert the
disorganized country into an active
military ally, the million or more Ger
man, Austrian and Turkish prisoners
held in Russia would be freed for
service with the Teutonic armies.
Ever since the overturning Of the
Kerensky government military strate-
gists here have been anticipating
such condition as exists today in
Russia. This is one of the principal
problems with which the interallied
conference in Paris is expected to
deal. Without being bound by any
special instructions. Colonel House
and his military adviser General
Bliss, will cooperate with the repre-
|sentatives of the Entente powers IN
framing some policy to meet the mill
tary situation.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Official con-
firmation of the news from London
that German staff officers are in Pc
trograd acting as military advisors of
the Lenine faction probably will be
followed promptly by action on the
part of the United States and the al
lies definitely to place the Bolshevik
regime in the list of Germany's allies.
If the Germans are there all doubt
as to the purpose of the Bolsheviki is
removed, and the diplomats will be
obliged to withdraw to a neutral cap
ital, probably Stockholm, to await in
tstructions from their governments.
Such a development undoubtedly
would be followed by immediate can
collation. of all orders now in process
of execution for military and other
supplies for Russia, both in the United
States and Japan. Several cargoes
from the United States are now on the
way to Vladivostok, but these can be
diverted by wireless orders, and it has
been understood that their delivery
would be contingent upon evidence
that they would not fall into unfriend-
ly hands.

Last night at $3.50 o'clock an auto

WIRELESS TRACTOR
WALKS ON FOUR FEET

A tractor without wheels designed
especially for dragging cultivators in
cornfields, is described by Popular
Mechanics. Instead of wheels it has
four legs and ski-shaped feet, these
legs having hip, knee asnds ankle
joints and they take steps like those
of an animal.
The legs are driven by gasoline
motor. They are steered around corn
ers by making those on one side take
longer steps than those on the other
and reversing is accomplished by
transferring the knee caps from the
front to the back of the joints.
The machine can straddle row of
six-foot corn without touching the
stalks.

tempt was made to remain in the vii
lage after this body of men had been
rescued.
The enemy delivered counter-at-
tack against the northeast corner of
Bourbon wood about 1 o'clock last
night but was repulsed. The British
line is holding firm along the northern
fringe of the wood and up to the edge
of Bourbon village.
Outside the operations against Fon-
tame and Bourbon there was little in
fantry action on the rest of the front
last night.
The weather moderated somewhat
late yesterday and heavy storms set
in. It rained torrents most of the
night and for a time this turned to
snow, small patches of which are still
to be seen about the countryside. The
rain continued today, making the po-
siticn Of the troops operating in the
new territory most uncomfortable.

the Italian line on the northern front
were favorable today. The heavy
fighting is continuing, with the Ital-
ians holding in the MAN.
Five determined attacks by Austro-
German forces on the left wing Of the
Italian Fourth army, near Monte Per-
tica, between the Brenta and the Pr
ave, have been delivered. The enemy
rushes were broken by the defense
troops with heavy losses to the at
tacksrs.
Not only the left but the right wing
and the center of the army holding
this sector was subjected to attack,
the enemy effort now attaining its full
force here. On the right and center
the struggle ragged from Monte Mon
fenera westward, with the Italians
holding their lines at all points.
