Importance Attached to
Meeting of Premiers
BY Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 6.-The coming
meeting in Rome of the Premiers of
England, Italy and France, is indi-
Gated by official dispatches received
here to-day to be of greater scope
than only the consideration of mill
tary measures to meet the German
drive into Italy.
M. Painleve, the French premier.
was accompanied to the Italian capi-
tai by Franklin Bouillon, the French
minister of missions abroad. Cen
eral Foch, French chief of staff, and
General Robertson, British chief of
stan, were awaiting the premiers in
Rome.
An explanation of the general our-
poses of the gathering of the states
men and soldiers is given in the
cablegram as follows:
1T is necessary that there should
be a large plan of concerted action
between the governments themselves
in addition to technical military
actions and orders, hence the call to
the premiers and political heads of
the entente"
The advisability of creating an in
terally war committee may possibly
be discussed.

London, Nov. 6.-The eventuaIity
of an AustroGerman crossing of the
Tagliamento had been foreseen clear
ly since the italian retreat began.
according to a dispatch dated late
Monday from the correspondent of
the Daily Mail at Italian headduar-
ters in Northern Italy. The cores
pondent emphasizes the seriousness
for Italy in the sudden shrinking of
the waters of the Tagliamento.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-11-06

There are indications that the
crossing, which was made where the
river narrows between hills, was not
in great force and the Austro-Ger-
mans have not yet been able to ad-
vance greatly from the river bank.
The crossing of the Tagliamento,
however, breaks the Italian mastery
of the western bank unless General
Cadorna's men can drive the Teu-
tons back again.

"There are three types of photo
plays" writes Vachel Lindsay, the
poet, in THE Arts of the Moving Pic

them as pictures of action, pictures Of
intimacy and pictures of splendor.
1.-THE action pictures are those when
the outpouring of physical force ut
high speed is the main source Of
drama. THE Spoilers,' from the nov
Ell of Rex Beach, is an example.
"The intimate pictures are based
on the ability to photograph and mag

The song "Dixie" was written IN
1853 by d. D. Emmett, and was first
publicly sung by Bryant's mintrels, in
New York, ut Mechanics hall. The in
spring air and the words, which were
in the darby dialect, appealed to the
South. where the song became popular.
1t became the battle song of the con-
federacy. There were two other
"DiXics." the one a northern ballad and
the other a southern ballad of the Civil
VAR. by Albert Pike, which first ap-
pcared in the Natchez (Miss.) Courier.
The origin of the phrase "Dixieland"
is thought to be in the name of Il Mr..
Dixie. Il slave-holding New York citi-
zen, who moved to the South. His
large number Of slaves, the story runs,
bennoaned leaving their old home.
which they called Dixie's Land. The
phrase spread and was appropriated
for the Southern states. which were
substituted for the original Dixieland.
The phonetic connection between the
word and Mason and Dixon's line also
has been pointed out. The boundary
line to the negroes was MASON and
Dixie's" land.
