The allies have of course been trying
to guide their vessels through a
roughly-outlined submarine zone by
night, but Mr.. Edison's maps, based
on official data, show that failure to
make the zone sufficiently specific
and failure to make ship captains OBJ

costly.

MOVIE film TAXED
BUT Once, IS RULING
Manufacturers Get Decision from
Commissioner Fletcher.
BY TRACY HAMMOND LEWIS.

Virtual extinction of the film in
dustry has been averted by a dele
CATION of motion picture manufac-
turers and exhibitors. headed by Will
liam A. Brady. chairman of the
National Association of the Mo-
ton Picture Industry, and Lee
Ochs, president of the Exhibitors
League, who appeared before Deputy
Commissioner G. E. Fletcher in the
Treasury Department yesterday to
protest against the Interpretation of
the war revenue tax upon positive
films OF one-half cent per foot.
In a letter written on october %
to William Wright. Of the Kalem
Company. who requested a ruling on
the act, Deputy Commissioner Fletch-
er had declared that the tax. which
amounts to IS a reel, would levied
upon the manufacturer each time he
rented the picture on an exhibitor
instead of upon only one occasion,
when 1t was sold or leased for the
first time.
Had this ruling been allowed to
stand 1t would have resulted in the
CiOsAh6 VI liO HdJOilty VI tliS SHldleI
houses and many of the larger ones
where policy necessitates a frequent
change of program, and eventually
the manufacturers would have been
ruined. since the majority of their
patrons would have disappeared.
Mr.. Fletcher was convinced by the
delegation that an error in inter-
probation had been made. and let
ter was dictated. setting forth the
new position to be taken by the
Treasury Department IN the matter,
and it will be signed by Commits
sioner Daniel c. Roper.
This will provide that only one tax
OF one-half cent per foot will be
levied upon each foot of positive film
manufactured and released for ex-
hibition.

DRAFT PROBLEM
FOR CONGRESS
TO CONSIDER
Industrial and Agricultural
Questions Involved by
Consumption.

II registration Of the balance Of the
100000 men of AMERICA is a prelude
to Industrial and agricultural con-
scription Congress will have to pro-
vide the step specifically and such
conscription will not be undertaken
in the name of assignment to tasks
Of a military nature.
This Is the indication. according to
some Of the officials who are inter-
ested in administering the draft law
and who are mindful of the needs OF
the country in industrial and agricul-
tural lines.
Any attempt to modify the draft law.
of course, will mean first an endeavor
to change the age from a minimum OF
q years to 10 years. This in itself will
provoke a contest Of some dimensions
unless. however. the President comes
out definitely for the younger age.
The probability is that provision will
be made to employ the men OF ex-
smption status in the semi-military oc-
eupatIons, which viii suit most Of the
exempted mems dependents and Mt In
with the causes for their exemption.
As the days go on there is a mani
fest desire among members Of Con-
xress, who have studied the situation.
10 do something tangible to aid the
shipping program and to make pro-
vision for adequate help on the farms
Of the nation. There are enough men
in the nation to meet all these de-
mands-but the men are not at the
places where the labor Is. When the
men and the jobs can be brought to-
gether then Americas task OF war
ring against the German government
will be made easier. they think. Con-
zress sees this. and II Is becoming
more and more apparent to the nation
at large every day.
There has been a most wonderful
mobilization Of resources in this coun-
try. and a most marvellous program
of intensive cooperation has been
brought to a head during the past six
months.

years. but of losing 1t in two weeks.
Our need of help is no longer a
matter OF months, but a matter of
hours"
The following Official dispatch from
Rome tells of the view taken there
of the offensive:
The campaign which the Teutonic
allies are carrying on against Italy,
with the most tremendous display of
forces ever made by them on any
front, was agreed upon at a con-
ference between Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and Field Marshal Won
ARR. chief Of the Austrian general
staff.
TT was not intended to be a mill
tary demonstration, but a thoroughly
organized action to crush Italy and
thus weaken and probably overcome
the entente.
Italy is bearing alone the brunt
of this. the greatest of Teutonic
ofrensives. She is bearing It with
serenity and with unwaverIng faith
that she will be able to overcome
the gravest danger that has ever
threatened the entente allies. To dc
this Italy believes IL to be her duty
as well as her greatest honor.
"The Italian people, fully informed
OF the seriousness of the situation
are supporting the army. the first
open sign of this being the follow
ing telegram sent by the city OF
Milan to Gen. Cadorna:
1.-The moment is serious and the
onslaught OF the enemy coalition is
colossal. Milan wishes to assure you
that the faith OF Italy Is unchanged
and that the italian people will re-
sist'
"A further evidence OF this feeling
has been given by the Roman people
at the arrival in Rome of the KIM
who came to settle the Parliamentary
crisis. A great crowd was assembled
at the station awaiting the arrival
Of the royal train. When the King
appeared it burst into cheers. A great
demonstration was held before the
Quirinal The King is going back
to the front after having conferred
with Parliamentarians who probably
will form the new coalition cabinet"
Italian press comment on the often
sive puts 1t in quite a different light
from Berlin and Vienna reports.
"Outside of a wavering of some
units on the left wing of the second
army" says a synopsis received here
today, "the troops have fought and
are fighting with the utmost courage.
'Outnumbered to !, the Italian
soldiers have not only been able to

The Idea NazionaIe says: 1T is not
mere military episode Of the war
which Italy is standing bravely. but
the greatest onslaught the Teutonic
allies have made. Italy will show
that she IS worthy OF her great des-
tiny and Of the confidence Of her al

Fakenhayn May Be
In Command Against Italy

Amsterdam. Oct. 29.-An unconfirm-
ed but apparently well authenticated
private dispatch from German
source late tonight stated that Gen.
Won Falkenhayn, who co-operated d
with Mackensen in Rumania a year
ago, is now commander of the Austro-
German forces on the Trentino front.
The dispatch adds that the Teuton
high command has mapped out the
Italian campaign almost on the identi-
cal lines of the Rumanian offensive.
The Teuton Trentino army is expected
to thrust southwark momentarily,
and for a huge nut-cra cker drive like
that north and south of the Danube.
The Danube is likened by the inform
an to the Tagliamento River.

quickly rejuvenate their compilations.
The wax is applied the same as cold

CANADA TO LICENSE
DEALERS In CEREALS

Grocers will not be able to sell pack
ages OF shredded wheat or corn fakes
in Canada after December l unless
they get one perfectly good license.
A council order prescribcs that no
dealer shall sell breakfast foods or
cereals in packages of less than TWEEN
ty pounds without a license.
Imagine the average commuter car
rying home a neat little twenty-pound
package OF corn fakes some six by
eight feet in size. or an unhappy
apartment dweller vainly striving to
enter his home laden with such a pie
thoric parcel of oatmeal or cream OF
wheat.
1t is believed that this new ruling
will obviate unnecessary labor in the

of foods.

ONTARIO, CANADA, WOMEN
ASSURED OF SUFFRAGE
Government and Opposition Indorse
Bill Giving Them Right to Vote.
Lead of Others Followed.

TORONTO, February 2s.-The women
of Ontario were virtually assured of
the right to vote when the government,
through Premier Hearst, last night in
dorsed the bill of ]. w. johnson pro-
viding for equal suffrage. The premier
said the government would try to de-
wise some plan under which women
might vote at the next general pro-
vincial election.
The opposition already has announced
itself as favorable to equal suffrage,
and the measure is expected to pass
the legislature virtually without op-
position.
BY its action the government of On
tario follows the precedent set by the
provinces Of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta, where, by agreement be-
tween the government and opposition,
the vote was granted to women with
out recourse to Il referendum. In the
province of British Columbia suffrage
was submitted to rcferer duTn at the
recent provincial election and carried
by large majority.
Having taken our women into partner
ship with us in our tremendous task,
said Premier Hearst III announcing the
governments decision, II ask, can we
justly deny them a share i'll the govern
ment of the country, the right to have q
say about the making of the laws they
have been SO heroically trying to defend"
My answer is. / think not
Il feel the time now has come when we
should give our women Il greater part in
the public affairs and the greater serv-
ice that ballots afford. In this case the
government indorses the principle of the
bill before the house. That means they
