Danger lies in delay.
Let il be ours to strike ere We are
stricken
Lest We be forced to sup
Some bitter cup,
Lest perils round US thicker,
Speed up speed up
Speed up. lest we should race
Disa ster and disgrace!
Now is the vital, now the crucial nouf'
Though If some needs must sup
The stirrup-cup,
With all our vfrile power.
Speed upi speed up!
Speed up, for Freedoms sake
From shore 10 shore, awake.
Land that hast had base insults thrust

To thy just cause we sup
A brimming cup,
Home that we love and honor!

will demand is that there shall be no

MRS. D SAUL[ES
ON TRIAL TODAY
CHILEAN HEIRESS WHO KILLED
AMERICAN HUSBAND MAY
PLEAD IRRESPONSIBILITN

Mineola, ~ ", Nov. 19.-Selection of
a Jury to try Mrs. Bienca de Saulles,
Chilean heiress, for the murder of her
divorced husband. John Longer de
Saules. politician and former Yale ath-
lete, was expected to go forward rap
idly after the opening of the trial here
today by Justice David f. Manning in
the supreme court. A special panel of
$50 talesmen had been called and II was
said that the jury box would be filled
before evening.
AS Mrs. de Saulles' council has ad-
mitted that there is no dispute regard
ing the fact that she shot her former
husband. there is much speculation as
IN her defense While no announce
ments have been made, 1t has been
intimated that "irresponsibility,' grow
ing out of mother love for her young
son. Jack, who, by order of court after
the divorce trial, was placed in the
custody of the father for five months
each year. may be the main plea.
II also was indicated that II may be
shown that the mother was driven 10
desperation by the fear that De Saulles
was poisoning the mind of her only child
against her.
Announcement has been made that
no attack would be made on the charac-
ter of Mr.. de Saulles at the trial, which
means that evidence taken at private
hearings previous to the granting oil
the divorce will not be revealed.
Sonora Blanca Vergara-ErraZuris
mother of the accused. member of
distinguished South American family
is expected to be one of the principal
witnesses for the defense.

The western growers insist that the

Grating personnel through attraction
to other trades paying higher wages.
England has put such plan into eff
feet, the board Of trade having power to
adjust wages and also rates. to compen
safe the roads for the increased cost Oh

One argument of the brotherhoods for
increased wages at this time has been
the necessity of retaining men at their
posts, who are dissatisfied with their
pay in comparison with the soaring COST
of living Rcruiting of railroad regi
ments to build war roads in France has
taken about $4,000 highly trained men
from American lines. Many railroad
men have enlisted and others have been
drafted for the army. Greater than
any of these three classes, however
has been the loss of men attracted to
other industries which are working on
war contracts and paying war bonuses
On the other hand, the railroads IN
their conferences with the representa-
tives Of the government have stated
that. without additional revenue. they
would be placed in serious position

Heavy masses of Austro-German
troops are being thrown against the
Italian lines between the Piave and the
Brenta. in an effort to drive wedge
between the Italian armies defending
the Piave line and those to the west,
in the Asiago region.
Comparatively rapid progress has
been made in this operation within the
last day or two. and it is becoming
clear that the main Austro-German eff
fort is concentrated at present upon
what is probably the most vulnerable
point in the Italian defensive line.
Quero. on the upper Piave, about
fifty miles from the coast. was taken
by the invaders. who subsequently
pushed the west flank of their line
west OF the river considerable dis
tance south along that bank.
Further west. the massed offensive
movement has carried the Teutons tc
Monte Tomba, some five miles south
west of Quero, and they are attacking
the front between this eminence ano
the river with a force which the Italians
are finding il hard to cope with, despite
their most desperate efforts.
Should the Austro-German thrust b'
carried much further here the entire
upper Piave line, from point neal
Conegliano. approximately thirfy-hv'
miles from the Adriatic, would be II
Teutonic possession, and II is Difficult
to see how the Italians in this case vii
be able to continue their hold on th'
southerly stretches of the river. whici
at present they are bravely and sue

Although the Teutonic pressure from
Asiago east to the Piave river in Italy
continues very strong. the Italians hold
valiantly TO their positions and the in
vaders have been unable to make much
progress. On the Asiago plateau, the
| Italians repelled violent attacks and
near Casera recaptured an advanced po
sition. taking 100 prisoners. Between
the Brenta and the Piave, the invaders
have occupied positions from which the
Italians withdrew.
Austro-German efforts to force the
Italians back from the western bank oi
the Piave at Zenson and Fagare, have
failed. The invading force which cross
ed at Fagare has been driven bach
across the river while efforts to de

with the American Army in France,
Nov. 1S.-tSundayl.-The site for the
American military balloon scout has
been selected and operations there will
begin soon with balloons of the United
States and some taken over from the
French. The course of instruction will
be complete and will be speeded up so
that when the American army takes
over its own battle front, American
observation balloons win cooperate in
the operation. A number of balloon
officers already have been up at the
front in French balloons observing the
methods and the tricks of the game
with which the French are familiar.
