Hunting New Point
to Make Attacks.

The Italians have stopped the at
tempted drive OF the Austro- -Germans
toward the Italian plains. and the
Germans have failed thus far to fol-
low up their success of last week
against General Byng's army on the
Gambrai sector in France. Both in
Italy and where they have faced the
British the Teutons have paid dearly
for any gains they have made. and
apparently now they are endeavoring
to find some easier spot upon which
to make IL drive.
Possibly their search is leading
them toward the line held by the
French running eastward from the
region of Soissons through Cham
pagne, past Nerdun ana up into AL
SAGE. for all along this front they are
showing great activity with their ar
tillery. There apparent test fires are
everywhere being returned by the
French artillery.

Favor Government Control.

selves was set forth today in letter
to enator Newlands from Fairfax Har
rison. chairman OF the railroad board.
The railroads, Mr.. Harrison declared,
do not seek a repeal of any legislation,
believing the cooperative use Of facil-
tiles recently put into operation will
bring about ma Ximum efficiency.
Further measures to make the roads
more efficient, Mr. Harrison suggested,
would be an increase in rates, priority
for transportation of new material, ap-
pointment of a traffic manager for
government. freight, and exemption
from the draft for railroad employees.
The railroads opposition to govern
ment operation is well understood
among officials who have followed the
situation, but some surprise was ex-
pressed at their objection to suspen-
sion of provisions against pooling traf-
fic and profits.

SOCIALIST PAPER GIVES
SUPPORT TO PRESIDENT

Gerard. kas., Dee. 10--The Aprcnl to

United States. has espoused the war
of defense" of the United states and
the allies against Prussian miitarism.
according to a statement here tonight
by Louis Kopelin. editor of the paper.
president Wilson's clear and definite
statement of war aims before congress
last Tuesday il mainly responsible for
the Appeal to Reasons esrousal of the
war;" the statement said.
beginning with the edition of De-
cember %. the name of the paper will
be changed to New Appeal" in order
to most distinctly conform to its
broader national and international pol
icy. the statement said.
I'VE contended that such a state
mont was timely, even though the war
was not Yet decisively won. The fact
that the Prussians were silent on the
terms of peace was no argument that
we should also side step that question
Now that there Is no longer sus-
picion against the cause of the allies
and Germany is still silent as to Bel
gium and the other territory she has
invaded and devastated. a Socialist
cannot do anything else but vigorously
support the side which stands for right
and Justice"
The Appeal TO Reason was founded
in 1895 and long has been one of tn.
strongest mouth pieces of Socialist
sentiment

continues To issue manifestos calling
ON its followers to resist the attempt
that is being made tn overthrow 1t.
From his base III the river Don
region, General kaledines, hetman of
the Don Gossacks, Is moving toward
the borders of the Ukraine, which al
ready has declared its independence Of
and hostility To the Bolsheviki ele-
mcnts and at the same time IL form
ing Il menace to Moscow. where the
Bolshcviki is IN control. In the CEN
ter others of the revoutionaries are
making their way northward while
from Orenburs, near the Siberian
frontier, General Dutoff Is proceeding

object of capturing Chelabnsk. the

railway, in order To prevent food and
other supplies reaching European Rus

Siberia Cuts Off Food.
Although 1t has not definitely aligned
itself with the revolutionary movement
the new republic of Siberia has issued
an order that promises materially to
aid the kalcdines forces This order
forbids the shipment of food supplies
into European Russia, the ground be-
ing taken that they may reach the
