Italian Army Headquarters in Italy,
Monday, Dec. 10.-A brilliant night
adventure was executed last night by
the Third battalion of the 226th Arez-
20 brigade in completely relieving
threatened Italian position on the
lower Piave river. Most Of this Sec
ton is protected by inundation but
the Austro- -Hungarians early yester-
day succeeded in occupying small
bridgehead at Capo Sile, few miles
below Dona Piave. The chief danger
Of this was that it lead to the Sile ca
raj, leading to Porte Grande with
Venice a short distance beyond.
The Arezzo brigade was ordered to
clear out the enemy's bridgehead. At
o'clock this morning the Third bat
talon threw out a reconnaissance
party which, on returning, reported
the Austrian camp asleep around the
bridgehead. The enemy camp was
taken completely by surprise and
could make no effective resistance,
The fight in the darkness was short
and terrible What enemy troops
were not bayonetted and killed, were
taken prisoner and the last vestige Of
the bridge and bridgehead were de-
stroyed. The result of the operation
is that the only point seriously me-
naced on the lower Piave has been
made secure. :.

A general inquiry into me work of
the war department, especially the
arming and equipping of the national
army man power, was ordered by tlN
senate military leaders. Capitol lead
ers said it was the forerunner of sim
liar Investigations by both senate and
house committees of all phases of
executive conduct of the war, which
would in a measure accomplish the
purpose Of the proposed joint COM
mittee "for the conduct of the war"
The Joint committee idea was aban-
doned at the last session because of
President Wilson's opposition.
The inquiries were said to be con-
templated with view to securing the
greatest possible efficiency in prose
cution of the war.
Inquiry Begins Today.
The war department inquiry will
begin tomorrow when General Crozier,
chief of ordnance, will appear before
the senate committee to testify re-
garding ordnance manufacture and
supply. Secretary Baker and general
staff officers, as we'll as departmental
and field commanders, will follow
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
committee, said most OF the testimony
would be given in executive session
though some of the sessions would
be public.
The decision to inquire into the
war departments operations came
after two hours discussion of reports
from senators who have visited army
camps during the recess of congress
Senators Chamberlain, Wadsw6rth,
Frelinghuysen and others told of con-
dtions observed and reported to them

and unsatisfactory sanitary conditions
Necessities Lacking.
1t is understood the committee
heard of large quotas of men in camp
lacking overcoats and winter cloth

the use of broomsticks for rifles and
wooden makeshifts for cannon. The
alleged clothing shortage and it's pos
sible relation to the large number Of

Petrograd, Saturday, Dec. s. -
Whether the constituent assembly, the

still a matter of some conjecture. al
though the national commissaries to-
day declared the day national holi-
day in honor of the accomplishment
of the gathering, for the first time, of
representatives of 160,000,000 people
to decide their own future. All the
forces of Russia are centering on the
assembly, the maelstrom whence will
emerge stability or anarchy and prob
ably peace or war. The Petrograd
union for defense assembly today is
sued an appeal to the people to defend
their rights, but the Izevestia, organ
of the Soldiers and Workmens dele

present government, rather than the
constituent assembly, is the real ex-

The members Of this body are men
liable to have changing views. The
proletariat already has begun the for
nation of new Russian government
which really expresses the purpose of
the laboring classes. Therefore, it is
the national commissaries, rather
than the assembly, to whom power
belongs"
Notwithstanding the undercurrent
of opposition from the Bolsheviki as
result of which political strife is
certain, the general opinion in Petro-
grad is that the actions of the assem-
bly, must be regarded as definite by
the foreign embassies, which for more

In January, 1917, out Of every 100
