LATIN FORCE

French and British troops have now
arrived in force near the italian
northern fighting front. heavy columns
having marched more than 100 miles
in eight days, evidently from railway
terminals in northwest Italy to the
battle zone. They are reported in
fine fettle and apparently are about
ready to reinforce the Italians on the
important northern line.
From Lake Garda to the Adriatic
the Italians continue to hold the invad-
ing Austro-Germans in check. Finding
it impossible to break through the line
directly west Of the Piave river the
enemy has been making very strong
attacks on the Asiago plateau, where
he was defeated last week in an at
tempt to encircle the important Monte
Meletta position. The fighting has
been most severe, the Italians meet
ing attack with counter.attack.
East of the plateau between the
Brenta and the Piave only artillery
has been active. Along the Piave the
Germans are showing signs of activ-
ity, but their efforts have not been
fruitful. Attempts to cross the river
on pontoons were crushed by the Ital-
ian artillery fire.

La Toilette Probe
Resumed By Board

WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-Investi-
CATION by a senate privileges and
elections subcommittee of the alleged
disloyal speech of Senator Lafollette
of Wisconsin last September at st.
Paul, Mimi, before the non-partisan
league, was resumed today with ex-
animation of witnesses scheduled af-
ter an executive session to discuss
further procedure. The inquiry was
suspended a month ago, without any
testimony having been taken, when
Senator Lafollette and the subcommit-
tee reached an impasse over the in
vestigation's scope. the Wisconsin
member objecting to its limitation
merely to accuracy of statements OF
fact in his speech, as insisted upon
by the subcommittee.
The investigation was expected to
continue into next week when for
mer Secretary Bryan probably will
testify. He is expected to refute Sen
ator Lafollette's statement that Mr..
Bryan when secretary knew of ammu-
milton aboard the Lusitania and
pleaded with President Wilson to pre-
vent her departure.
At today's session Senator PoIner-
enc of Ohio, chairman ofsthe c9mmff.
tee to whom petitions Of the Minneso.
ia public safety committee and others
protesting against Senator Lafollette's
speech were referred, was prepared
to submit several communications
bearing on the address which have
been received during the recess.

BRITISH WIN
GROUND NEAR :"
CAMBRIA IN
BLOODY FIGHT
General Byng's Men Now
Dominate Village BY Hold
ing Heights In Bourbon
Wood.
ADVANCE CONTINUED
(By Associated Press,

(By Associated PreSs)
British troops have captured the
high ground in Bourbon wood and now
dominate the region about Cambria
This success came after two days of
the most vicious fighting and its i'm
portance is indicated in part by the
fact that German traffic southeast
from Cambria has been heavy, the
probability being that the civil popu-
lation of the town has been remov-
ed.
General Byngs latest triumph was
one Of hard and heroic endeavor. In
paying tribute to the third army. Field
Marshal Haig declares that the cap
ture of the Bourbon position crowns
a most successful operation and opens
the way TO the further exploitation Of
advantages already gained
Apparently the British commander
will push his advantage still further
and besiege Cambria, which is three
miles to the east.
Changed Three Times.
Bourbon village changed hands three
times in the desperate battling for the
possession Of it and the adjoining
wood. Severe fighting continues
there and the Germans, massing their
best troops in efforts to retrieve the
position which means all to the secu-
1ty of Cambria, pressed back the
British fro mparts of the village Sun
day. General Byng's men withstood at
tacks on the wood and hold the high
ground intact. There also has been
heavy fighting west of Moeuvres
southeast Of Queant.
In six days Gen. Byng and the third
army have broken the Hindenburg
| line, taken score of villages. secured
the dominating position west of Cam
hTai and overrun territory equal in
area to that gained in the first three
/ months Of the drive in the Ypree sal
| lent. Nearly 10000 prisoners, 100
guns and much war material have
| been captured. More important still
probably is the further exploitation"
to which Field Marshal Haig refers in
his congratulatory message.
| Around Verdun the pivot point Of
the German line in France, there has
been heavy fighting in which the
| French have been victorious. After
repulsing a strong German attack on
the right bank of the Meuse near Hill
344 the French attacked the enemy on
a front of more than two miles In the
same region. They occupied the first
and second German lines and captured
more than 800 prisoners.

SPEAKS
IN NOVEL FORM

William Lyon Phelps, of Yale, in
his recent book, Browning, How To
Know Him." says, in commenting on
the fluctuation of literary forms:
The economic law Of supply and
demand governs the production Of lit
erature exactly as it determines the
price of wheat :. Why is 1t that writ
ers put their ideas of God, Nature and
Woman in the form Of drama In
1900, and in the form Of a novel In
1900? Why is it that an inspired
man should make poems of exactly
not do it in 1880? If we do not attempt
an ultimate metaphysical analysis the
answer is clear. The bookseller sup
plies the public, the publisher supplies
the bookseller, and the author sup
plies the publisher. Authors are
compelled to write for the market"
This citation may be taken as a
sample of Professor Phelps style of
discourse The fact that all his lee
lures and writings are distinguished
by clearness and novelty of presenta.
tion has done much toward gaining
his unusual popularity.
Tickets for mis- lecture, "A Literary
Pilgrimage Through England" which
