Italians Win Air
Battle Above Pola;
Arsenal BOmbarded

Rome Via Paris. March 20
Reciprocal airplane attacks by Aus
trians and Italians are reported in
an official statement issued by the
war office. The text OF the state
ment follows:
Our sea planes carried out raid
on Pola and dropped bombs on the
arsenal. Five enemy airplanes, es-
corted by destroyers, attacked our
machines, but were driven off by
French airplanes which were sup
porting us.
"On March l9, shortly before
dawn, enemy seaplanes bombarded
Grado and coast territory to the east
occupied by us. There were no vic.
Tins and the damage done was in
significant. Immediately afterwards
a squadron of our seaplanes bonn
barded the Lloyd ship yard at Mug
gia, near Trieste. All of the Italian
and French machines returned
safely"

Officials Begin
Search to Discover
The Origin Of Fires

An arson trust in Omaha, whose
members start fire in business build-
ings, is the subject of investigation
now by Fire Warden Morris.
81 have nothing for publication just
now" SAID the fire warden, "but my
probe promises some real revela-
tions."
The trail of the fre-bugs, it is un-
derstood, leads close to the 100000
fire which devastated the Berg and
Hartman properties in the Continental
building at the northwest corner Of
Fifteenth and Douglas streets a
month ago. The fire warden's sus-
picions have been focused on a NOV
ing picture theater which has recently
been ahre twice. The smell Of gaso-
line and some empty gasoline con-
tainers were found in the theater after
the last fire.
Fire Warden Morris does not at
tempt to impute motives TO the mem
bers OF the arson gang. He admits
that he does not know as yet whether
revenge or connivance with others
actuated the hre-bugs But he is busily
pushing his probe and is working to
establish the guilt or innocence Of
suspected persons.

former Premier Replies to
Criticism of Late Minister'S
Conduct of the War.
HE DID NOT SHUN ADVICE

London, March 20-An energetic
defense OF the late Lord Kitchener
was made i'll the House OF Commons
today by former Premier Asquith,
who replied to the criticisms leveled
at his government in the recently
published report OF the Dardanelles
commission.
Lord Kitchener was a masterful
man, endowed with formidable per-
sonality and disposed by nature to
keep his own counsel" said Mr..
Asquith. But it is a mistake to sug-
gest that he lived in isolation and did
not consult military opinion as to
the conduct of the war. That is un-
true, but it is true that during the
early months of the war he acted as
his own chief of staff
when the war broke out members
of the general staff were sent to the
front. Their places were taken by
officers who had been in retirement.
The best and highest authority at
that tine was Lord Kitchener, himself.
Nothing fills me with greater indigna-
ton than the attack made on Lord

TO SUPERVISE SALE

Board of Five Men Will Have
Charge of Distribution of
Paper to Publishers.
URGE RIGID ECONOMY

Washington, March 20.-The Fed

pervise the sale and distribution of

which will represent all interests
concerned. 49,
The board. to be named as soon
as price fixing pool proposed by the
manufacturers finally is arranged, will
comprise five members, one each
from the manufacturers, jobbers.
large publishers, small publishers
and the Trade commission. The
Trade commission representatives
will operate the pool from officies in
New York. Other members of the
board will serve in an advisory ca
pacity and their powers will be pure
ly ministerial.
Manufacturers who have been ac-
cused of intimidating publishers into
remaining out OF the price-hxing
agreement have, it is understood, as
sured the commission that if there
has. been any intimidation subordi-
mates have been responsible and that
officers of the companies themselves
have not countenanced it.
Members of the Trade commission
just back from New York, where they
urged on publishers the necessity for
strict economy in the use of news
print, say the war situation threatens
a new condition in which the news
print demand threatens to outstrip
production. The balance has been ex-
tremely close for the last year.

Asoah Defends Kitchener's
g1sssSa s ssssa Part in DardaneLLes B[under

Kitchener, whose memory is in no
danger and will live
Mr.. Asquith said the Dardencles cx-
petition was primarily naval one,
because Lord Kitchener proved to
the satisfaction of the war council
that the resources to make it Joint
military and naval undertaking were
not available. The war council spent
three weeks in examing the country'S
available resources in men and in OBJ
tanning opinions OF experts. British
and French naval expert opinion fav-
ored the enterprise. The adverse
view of Lord Fisher, then first sea
lord, was not founded on technical
naval objections, but upon his pref
erence for a different objective i'll a
totally different sphere of operations.
The delay i'll sendi.,. troops, Mr.,
Asquith continued, was due to the
Russian position, which was then bad
and pressure was brought to bear
by both the British and French COM
manders in chiefs to keep their troops
in France.
Mr.. Asquith asserted the Darda-
nelles operations had saved the sit
uation in the Caucacus, prevented
for months the detection OF Bulgaria
to the central powers, kept 100000
Turks mobilized, destroyed some Of
the finest troops in the Turks army
and contributed to the favorable re-
suits witnessed in Egypt, Mesop-
tamia and Persia.

Tumulty Declares
History Will Give
President His Due

Newark, n. J.. March 20.-Secre-
tary Tumulty, in an address at din
ner given in his honor here tonight
spoke of the infinite patience and
skillwul hands" with which President
Wilson is guiding the destiny of the
nation.
NO man can realize what he has
done and is doing for the United
States of America, for the world, for
civilization and humanity" said Mr..
Tumulty. Some day a great histor-
ian will tell the story OF what he
has endured, of the problems he has
met, of the scrupulous care and pa
tience he has taken to preserve the
rights of America and to keep free
and open the processes Of liberty.
Children in the schools and young
men in the colleges will read in the
text books OF the unsurpassing jus
tice of the statesman who was raised
up to direct the destiny of this nation
in its most trying hour. We are too
close to the world events of the last
few years to appreciate them, to es-
innate justly the wonderful period in
which we are living.

Eight other men, who escaped at
the same time, have been captured
by companies of marines and the
Philadelphia police. These are in ad-
dition to the seven men who were re-
ported last night as having failed to

with some concern. The prospect OF
German sailors at large also is re-
garded with apprehension.

NEBRASKA HOUSE
ASKS PRESIDENT
T0PROTECT MAIL
Members Almost Unanimously
Adopt Resolution Requesting
Further Curtailment of
Service Be Stopped.
MUCH LOSS TO PUBLIC
Instances Cited Where Clerks
Are to Be Taken Off
Runs Soon.
INSPIRED BY BEES STORY


Lincoln, Neb., March 20-(Spe.
cial)-The house today almost unani,
mously adopted resolution calling
upon President Wilson to use his in.
fuence with the postmaster general
to see if something could not be done
to prevent further curtailing of the
mail service OF the United States and
especially to prevent demoralizing the
mail service in Nebraska.
The resolution was inspired by an
article appearing in the Sunday edi-
ton of The Bee, in which pictures
were shown giving the condition OF
the service at Council Bluffs terminal
and all explanation of the matter by a
mail clerk. This, with the understand
ing that the mail car on the Imperial
line was to be taken off, prompted
Representative Hoffmeister of Chase
to have the resolution drawn and in
troduced.
Photo in Bee to Be Sent.
The article with the pictures taken
from The Bee will be attached to the
resolution and sent to Washington by
the chief clerk.
Following are the resolutions:
"To the President of the United
States:
Whereas, recent changes in the
railway mail service have discontinued
.,,I,,o,, ,,,ol ,Iar1.e ,,,,
portant runs in Nebraska, resulting in
great inconvenience to the public in
the transmission of mail, and in the
accumulation Of important postal mat
ter upon railway platforms, subject to
injury by frost, rain and snow, and
Whereas, this loss and incon-
venience to the public, bad enough at
any time OF the year, is especially vi
cious during the spring season, when
seeds, bulbs and trees are being
transmitted through the mail, and
People Not Consulted.
Whereas, the people Of Nebraska
believe they have the right to as good
a mail service as they have enjoyed
hitherto, and that, in the administra-
ton or the postal service, WHICH
touches the everyday life Of every
citizen, arbitrary action by admin
istrative officials at. Washington,
without notice to the public of any
kind. tends to bring the Postal de-
partment. the great arm of the federal
government exenplifying the advan-
tages OF public ownership in its daily
work, into disrepute, therefore be it
Disapproval Expressed.
Resolved, That the house of rep
resentatves of Nebraska expresses its
strong disapproval of this arbitrary
treatment OF our citizens by the Postal
department and demands that the
railway mail service be restored and
improved from time to time to ac-
commodate the continuously growing
needs OF this state, and that the presi-
dent OF the United States be request
cd to take such action as will result
in the restoration of the service and
protection OF the peoples right to
adequate mail facilities.
Resolved, That copy OF this
resolution be transmitted by the chief
clerk to President Wilson, and that
the senate OF Nebraska be asked to
ioin in similar resolution"
