tions of merchants and theatre signs.
The evidence of all eyes is that the
streets of cities are virtually as light
as before these special signs were
darkened. State fuel administrators
report in detail on the impossibility of
getting results from the old order.
They say it is the tens of thousands
of old signs that count.
Lightless Nghas.
Lightless nights would save coal
in large quantities, according to
figures before the full administra-

1T would be a part of the plan to
show every citizen the war necessity

every residence. apartment house and
office building people would be asked
to use not more than one-half the
usual lighting"

POSITION OF HUN
WORSE after BIG
ITALIAN EFFORT
C erm a n Commander Sacri-
fices Thousands of Men In
Effort to Push Italians Back.
Command is No Better Off.
(By Review Leased Wire. J

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Rome dis
patches today, confirming earlier re-
ports of lull after the fierce fight
ing in which the Teutons failed to
greak through the Italian lines say
the Austro German commander sacri-
ficed hundreds of thousands of his
best men without improving mis- posi-
ton.
This description OF the situation is
given:
Fighting Subsidies.
The fierce fighting of the last few
days has subsided into a period OF
comparative calm. The superhuman
resistance of the Italians prevented
the Austro Germans from attaining
the strategical advantages OF their OBJ
jective, although they succeeded in Ob-
tanning gains OF purely tactical
character The failure of the enemy
attacks is indicated by the inactivity
on the entire front for three con-
secutive days. The invaders have de-
sisted from attacking positions in the
direction of the Brenta canal on ac-
count of the complete exhaustion of
the forces engaged.
Rains Aid Italians.
General Conrad has sacrificed hun
dreds of thousands of his best soldiers
in successive assaults preceded by
unprecedented artillery preparation
and today the position of the AustrO-
Germans while not improved by the
progress made. is in fact more unfav-
orabie TO them than at the beginning
of the offensice because of the diff
culties of revictualing the troops. The
heavy snowfall of the season will al
so aggravate this hardship of the
enemy and threaten the lines OF COM
munication.
1T may be stated. therefore. that
the central powers have failed to o.
tain their general objective. namely.
to break through our lines into tie
plains of Italy where they expected to
find comfortable shelter during the
winter months

MEDIATION HELD
GREAT PANACEA
IN RAIL STRIKES
Report of Board to President
Finds That Troubles Be-
tween Employees and Roads
Have Given Away Before
Mediation.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.--Interrup-
tioh OF interstate railway service by
labor disputes has been almost negli-
Bile since the federal foard of media
tion and Cancellation was organized
four years ago. says a report of the
board presented tonight TO the presi-
dent. -e-s ssfs-s,
In four and half years, the report
continues, there have been total of
S4 disputes, which threatened all
classes of employees on every railroad
in the United States and connecting
Canadian lines, but in less than half
a dozen instances has there been ces-
sation of train movement. In no in
stance has a strike followed the inter
vention of the board.
Mediation Responsible.
Settlement has been effected in the
main by mediation, ii is pointed out,
81 cases having been disposed of this
way. Seven have been solved by COM
bined mediation and arbitration, one
by congressional action (the threaten
ed general strike for an eight-hour
day), three were settled by the parties
themselves, three are under arbitra-
tion, four in mediation and one re-
mains unsettled.
Agreements effected by mediation
have been found to be more satisfac-
tory to all sides than any form of arb
itration, the board finds.
Its Shortcomings.
The present law may not be ade-
quate for dealing with controversies
of nationwide extent" the report
says, cor even those which effect
large sections of the country undet
abnormal conditions, but it seems to
be the best plan yet devised for bring
ing to a peaceful settlement the dis
putes which most frequently occur and
which otherwise would be likely to re-
suit in serious consequences to the
public"

The project is part of the regular
plan of the department, it is under
stood. for the tactical organization OF
the expanded regular army.
There is no present intention of en-
ploying mounted troops with General
Pershing's forces. although the gener-
al staff is reported TO have recon-
mended the creation OF from three to
five cavalry divisions. Employment
by General Byng, leader OF the recent
British surprise attack of mounted
troops, points the way to the conclus-
ion that 1t may be advisable later.
when the transportation is easier, to
send over cavalry in such numbers
as the American staff may think wise,
Should the German line be broken by
a drive in which American troops
participated, it is not to be doubted
that General Pershing would need
mounted forces to drive home his at
tack in the open country beyond.
1t was emphasized that formation
of the cavalry division at FL Paso re-
fleceed no uneasiness as to the border
situation. Winter has required the
withdrawal of the mounted troops
from the northern expansion camps.
