WashingtOn's Views.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-Austria's de-
clsion to line up with Germany in
opening peace negotiations with the
Russian Bolsheviki may possibly have
some effect on the administration s
disinclination toward declaration Of
war on the Dual Monarchy, but the
general impression in official circles
here is that it will not bring about any
development for the present at least.
Secretary Baker has announced that
as far as the men and ships are ready
they will be combined and additional
forces sent to join General Pershing.
By this means guard divisions first to
show themselves fitted for transporta-
ton to the training camps in France
will be first to go. 1t appears possible
that the re-grouping of National Army
divisions made necessary by the use of
drafted men to fill Up depleted Ma
tional Guard units, will be among the
! first National Army units to be sent
! over.

iety they expressed about the future
was the fear that they might later be
compelled to work far back of the
lines out of the fighting zone. The
engineers love to hear the guns and
to get as close to the firing line as
military orders permit. Some of them
had an unusual experience. much to
their liking, on the first day of the
offensive. The British called for vol
unteer stretcher bearers to. go , for
ward to the battlefield and bring in
wounded British and Germans. A
large number of the engineers offered
their services, which were accepted.
They just had finished a hard days
work on the railway, but they gladly
undertook the new, arduous and dan
gerous task and labored through the
night getting injured soldiers back to
the dressing stations. They were
highly complimented by the British
for their efficiency in this line of SER
vice, which was rather far-reaching
one from building railroads.
Italian Army Headquarters. Italy.
Nov. 29.-(By Associated Press)-
The lessening of the intensity of the
enemy attacks along the northern
front is regarded as forecasting the
moving of activity to other points,
either for massed attacks or in prep
aration of defensive positions capable
of meeting the Italians, reinforced by
the British and French, in a concerted
advance. Aviators report that the
enemy is feverishly busy along the
Tagliamento river, where he is COM
polling the civilian population to as
sist in the construction of lines of de-
fensive trenches and works on the
| eastern bank of the river to which he
probably will fall back in case of a
reverse along the Piave.
! The arrival of a number of Amer
| lean officers is regarded as highly sat-
| isfactory and perhaps significant of
coming events. Up to the present the
| American government has required
| military and naval observers to re-
main comparatively inactive in Italy.

envy and the economic war forced
upon her"
He was hopeful of It's success and
said that the Allies were unable to
make progress against it, either by
Communicating neutral ships, or
building new ones.
Count Won Hertling expressed the
wish that the territories formerly I'M
der Russian sway-Poland, Lithuania
and Courland--could havethe right
OF choosing their own governments
and could obtain that political form
which correspondent to their condi-
tions| and culture. 90 He said that af-
fairs in this direction were still in
a state of uncertainty.
He referred to Germany and her
allies in which they expressed them
selves on the foundation of the Papa]
note of last August, and said every
ground had been removed for the
foolish argument" that the objec-
tive of her enemies was to destroy
German mi]itarism which was de-
stroying the peace Of nations. He
said:
lit has been shown where the
neace destroying militarism can be
sought. The Italian minister, Son.

eral disarmament and Premier Glenn
enceau goes so far as to expressly
shut out Germany and Austria Hun
gary from the peaceful community
Of nations of the future when right
shall take the place of armed force.
Premier Lloyd George has declared
distinctly that the aim of the war is
: the destruction Of German commerce
and that the war must be continued
until this end is reached. Indeed, the
lust Of conquest falsely attributed to
us, is now placed before the world
through the publication Of secret
treaties by the Russian government.
Our war aim from the first day
was the defense of the Fatherland and
the inviolability of it's territory free
dom and independence of it's eco
nomic life. On that account we could
greet joyfully the Pope's peace ap-
peal. The spirit in which the answer
to the Papal note was given still is
alive today hut-so much the enemy
must admit-this answer signifies nc
license for the criminal lengthe11ing
.of the war.
Terrible Slaughter.
For the continuation of the ter
rible slaughter, and the destruction Of
works of civilization and for the mad
self-mangling of Europe the enemy
alone bears the responsibility and will
also have to bear the consequences

this mbardment when the twin

GOOD SHOWING
Collector of Internal Revenue
Makes Annual Report to
Uncle Sam.

Chicago drank more beer, smoked
less expensive cigars and fewer Gig.
arettes, used more distilled spirits and
less opium and more snuff in 1916
than It did in 1915.
These interesting facts were dis.
closed by the annual report of julius
F. Smietanka, collector OF internal rev.
enue in Chicago.
The total collections for the year
amounted to $26, 195, 033.14, an increase
of $3,246,1SS.O1 over 1915.
The government tax on beer col.
lected for the year reached the big
total of $S,O66.335. compared to col.
lection of $7,4O7, 7SS.5O in 1915.
The amount that the brewers paid
into the United States treasury was
almost equal to the combined corpo-
ration and individual income tax col.
lections for the year. The corporation
income tax collected amounted to 81.
310,3S5.57 and the individual income
tax to $4,360,414.9S. Both corporation
and individual income taxes showed an
increase of approximately $1,000, 600
over last year.
The cigar revenues collected
amounted only to 1884, O63.61, com.
pared to $641,1S1.43 a year ago, while
the cigarette revenues decreased from
$5,61s.O1 in 1915 to $3,261.65 this year
Other collections were: Opium

ENFORCE THIS
-''' '"'- OR ORDINANCE
Federal Officials Wonder Why
Ordinance Has Not Been
Invoked.

Federal officials discovered the ex-
istence of city ordinances which IL
enforced would prevent the boarding
of food articles in cold storage plants
and would aid in the campaign to
reduce the high cost of living.
why the ordinance which specific.
ally forbids keeping articles Of food
in cold storage for purposes of fore
stalling the market or increasing the
prices has not been discovered by the
city authorities, or why, IL known, 1t
has not been invoked, is the question
which some of the federal officials
are asking.
"The fact that eggs are put into
cold storage when they sell at II
cents for the purpose of holding them
there until the price is raised to more
than As cents is a clear case of fore
stalling the market and clearly In
violation Of the ordinances dealing
with that question:" said Assistant
