The Germans have posted placards

The Germans have posted placards

fences of the Piave. Your defense IS
useless. We shall be in vicenza in three

In reply to this italian soldiers post,

''Ycu will never pass
An Amerloan's Views.
An eminent American military au-
thority summarized the situation IN
this way:
"While the danger is not yet over,
nevertheless, 1t seems to me from a
military point of view, that the enemy
can not pass. being confronted by the
combined Italian, British and French
forces"
His chief military reason for this
view Ia that the enemy no longer has
his lines Of communication freely
open to the rear as the winter IS
breaking his communications in the
north and interruptlng II not Destroy
ing them to the east.
Therefore he believes the enemy has
reached the maximum and must de-
cline from now on, while the Italians
and their allies have all their com
munications from the west and south
open and can augment their forces
from now on.
Consequently, it appears to this
American, that the enemy has failed In
his main project Of breaking thru into
the heart Of Italy.
r,ha foregoing In addition to giving
tho military viewpoint, probably ac-
cords with other high opinion.

False Stories About Food Seizures.
Seattle, Wash, Nov 29.-Desire Of
the Circelia Studi Social, an alleged
pro -Germa n italian anarchistic organ
ization to cripple Americas war plans,
led 1t to distribute propaganda and to
send out agitators to leave false warn

federal food administration planned to
seize their canned fruits and jellies
and other stores Of foodstuffs II. F..
White, United States sanitation immi-
grafton commissioner, announced to-
day. Mr.. White recently directed a
raid in which seventy alleged members
Of the society were arrested.
Work Of the Italians along this line
caused the food administration to is
sue several recent warnings to pay
no attention to these false statements,
Mr.. White said. The agitators in this
way, he added, hoped to d!scred!t the
administrations work among the
women.
The task Of endeavoring to UNDER
mine the food administrations work
was one Of many undertakings OF the
members in the efforts to aid Germany,
federal officials say. Other steps in
cluded assassination Of King Dmman-

Americans in France
In1bued With One Idea
Beat Germans Good
rBy the Associated Press.l


With the American Army in France,
Nov. 2S.-The development of the men
in the first American contingent in
France in the science of war was de-
scribed today as. remarkable by the
general commanding the division.
Il have been in the army since Twas
a boy" he said. During that time
I have observed many American and
foreign soldiers but never in my life
have seen anything equaling the men
now here. When my division landed
we had shock-headed boys-I call them
shock headed because they were just
that-by the hundreds.
''They were clerks, mechanics, day
laborers farmer boys. old and young,
OF every walk Of life. Some spoke
English and some did not. There were
Poles, Bohemians, Russians. Jews and
Gentiles But in this short time they
have all become first class soldiers, en-
into the ways Of army life as I never
thought possible.
'@They are game to the core, and their
one idea is to beat the Germans and
to give them a good beating.
Not Streak Of Yellow.
''There Is not a streak Of yellow in
the whole lot, and their morale even
in the trenches is fine.
"Here Is an example. One night re-
Gently an officer called for volunteers
to go patrolling In mo mans land"
He asked for twenty men. The whole
company volunteered on the spot.
Twenty were picked and lamp black
was provided them to put on their
bayonets so the light would not shine
on them.
During the blacking one private
stopped a moment, turned to comrade
and said:
"Gee, if I can run this into one Of
those boches, bet he'll get blood pol
soning, and hope he does The boy
knew the place he was to patrol was
extremely dangerous, and that he
might be casualty within thirty min
ntes.
Example Of Nerve.
"At another time I had just passed
a line of soldiers walking on road
in the rain, when I came on ~one who
was hatless mud covered and limping.
I stopped my automobile and asked him
what was the matter. The soldier
stood on one foot. He saluted and
said his horse had started to run into
a stone wall, but he threw him down
and fell under him. That's the spirit
we are getting. The man was badly
hurt. but even that did not make him
forget his training Of few weeks.

i;,,,.d Inst the Germans in raids OIL
American trenches thus Tar have ex-
pended more than 100000 worth OF
ammunition alone. -
