 The communication adds that the enemy, with the aid of large boats, crossed the river at Benson and established a b,idgehead, but that they were repulsed by the Italians toward the river bank.
 Rome, November 13.-The text of the communication follows:
 During the night of Sunday the en- emy, with renewed and greater efforts, attempted to attack the Mount Gallio- Iongara-Meletta di Gallo on the Asiago plateau. During counter attack, after desperate struggle, the enemy was re- pulsed and suffered very serious losses. We'll supported by artillery of all cali bres, the Ninth infantry regiment of the Regina brigade and the Verona Alpine battalion distinguished themselves by their bravery. During yesterday after noon intense enemy movements, which were the prelude to a new attack, were thwarted effectually and stopped by our artillery.
 PRISONERS RETAKEN
 Near Canove, west of Asiago, our sixteenth storming detachment attacked an enemy detachment snd through it's recapture released some of our men who had been made prisoner during previous actions.
 From the Brenta to the lower Piave the enemy armies, which, in the past days, had only been hindered in their service by rear guard actions and stopped by interruptions on the highways, have occupied territory evacuated by us and now are in contact with our line.
 TEMPORARY SUCCESS
 with the aid of large boats enemy groups succeeded at dawn at Monte San Dona Di Piave (about 2s miles north east of Venice) in crossing to the right (west) bank of the river at Benson and in establishing a bridgehead. Promptly faced by our troops they were counter attacked and repulsed toward the river bank.
 During yesterday, in spite of unfavor- able Atmospheric conditions, large number of our aviators bombarded enemy bivouacs on the left bank of the Piave and turned machine gun at 2 low altitude on troops marching along the road on the bank of the river"

Responding to the call Of President
Wilson, issued Monday, the directors
of the First-Standard Bank, a state
institution, met in special session
yesterday afternoon and unanimous
ly adopted a resolution to join the
Federal reserve system of banks In
order to aid the President in his effort

trust companies to join the Federal

that they may contribute their

effectively in "a vigorous prosecution
and successful termination of the

Scores of such institutions have
fiocked to the system within the past
three weeks, among them some Of the

cause it has only been given voice af-
ter long reflection. Even if the Ger
mans pretend to treat it with disdain
or silence we can be certain it will
have profound effect among them.
But it does not suffice to proclaim
an economic threat; real effect must
be given. The governments, produc-
ers, shipbuilders and traders of the al.
lied nations must form agreements,
which will allow at days notice the
institution Of a regime whereby Ger
man industry will be deprived of raw
materials; German commerce depriv-
ed of outlets and German navigation

understand the power of our arms
when she knows that they have been
forged and are ready to strike"

to regard the annexation of Alsace-
Lorraine as the origin of their power
and prosperity, and concludes:

utilize every moment.
1T obviously is her policy to force
a decision in the next few months and
the Germans. being fine soldiers, their
leaders being desperate men, and moth
ing being certain in war, they have at
least a sporting chance of success"
The Post then insists that the allies
must call upon every available man
and increase the production of guns,
airplanes and ships. 1t continues:
Ireland must be brought under the
military service act. She can con-
tribute at least 250,000 fine soldiers
who are spelling for a fight. If the
government does its duty like men and
at whatever cost, they will at least
have done their best. If they fail they
will fail honorably. If on the other
hand, they continue to daily and talk

LONDON. Dec. 6.-President Will
sons declaration in favor OF war
against Austria is approved by the
Morning Post which adds:
We in this country can only say
that when America goes to war she
goes to war. She has the eXtraordi-
nary fortune to be led by president
of intellect, courage and determina-
ton. President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing were more than match for
the best diplomacy that Germany
could produce. America will be more
than a match for Germany and her
allies in the war
America is In position to carry
her resolve to execution. Alike in men
and resources, skill and determination,
America is superior to Germany,
though she were fighting America
alone. Therefore. so far as human
provision can extend we are justified
in assuming the eventual complete
defeat of the enemy. But that is to
look ahead 1t is the present business
of the allies to do their utmost in the
interval which must elapse before

The Daily Mail says: For all the
allies, President Wilson's address
makes very satisfactory reading His
ringing sentences, not less than the
measures proposed to give effect to
them, will do something in Europe, as
well as in America, to clear the air of
the fumes of pacifism. They set things
as Lansdowne's letter did not, in their
proper light and proper order"
Referring to President Wilson's per.

dent Wilson by the American people,
His voice is their voice; his thoughts
their thoughts to degree that no
