PN United pres..

LONDON, Nov. 26-General Petain
backed up Field Marshal Haig today.
While Germany was desperately COM
bining her lines for reinforcement TO
stem the tide of the British advance
about Cambria, France struck a sharp
sudden blow out of Verdun. The en-
emy's first and second line trenches
and 500 prisoners captured were the
net results of this highly localized at
tack on this front. The ground taken
was in a highly important sector Of
the enemy lines between Samogneaux,
north Of Hill 344. Strong fighting was
reported in progress here today.
Along the British front Byng's war
machine was still forcing the fighting
around Cambria. Field Marshal Haig
reported that since the utter failure
of the German attacks at midday yes
day around Bourbon the enemy had
not repeated the assault there.

Talk ON War Aims.

BV Chfte0 PreSS-
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-That
England and France are baking as to
making a revised statement of wa-
aims and as to publishing any secret
war treaties was limited in authoritative
quarters today. This, however, does
not discourage the United States gov
.ernment in its desire to have such a
showd own though the Paris Inter AL
lied congress may not deal with the
subject directly.
Press publication of Russian state
mSnts showing the secret diplomacy
proclaim ed gave hope for frank state
inert The documents revealed that
Russia was to have her say In the
peace council as to alignment of the
eastern frontier and that France was
to be arbitor of the western front.
The American position is that no one
nation should heve the right to decide
all with respect to boundary line on
the long front. The United States
holds that the war should continue
only as long as to make democracy
safe and that HohenZolleris1n cannot
run rampant over the world at Will.
As ad diustment of territory is a vital
point in giving freedom and safety 10
the world this government feels there
should be no undue territory graphing
and no serving of selfish ambition. The
Russian secret treaties thus far have
reached here only in paraphase the
press reports. 1t is anticipated. how
ever that the Nauem (German) wire
less will see to it that the full text are
spread and thit government will
listen for them at both Sayville and
Arlington stations. Whether it intends
to give further publication to them Is
unrevealed, but they may use them as
an argument for bearing dipiomacY
letting and people know where the
struggle is.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-The Boil
sheyiki offer for an armistice and uni
versal peace is official before Presi-
dent Wilson today. The peace offer
arrived over Sunday from Ambas-
sador Francis at Petrograd. 1t will
be carefully considered by President
Wilson and by Secretary of State Lam
sing. Whether it will be answered is
still undecided as an answer might be
construed as recognition of the Boil
sheviki as the defacto government
this matter will be one of the chief
points in determining America s
course. In any event this government
will not accept an armistice and it
has no intentions of negotiating for
peace until its aim of safety for world
democracy is accomplished, the state
department indicated today.
If an answer is given it will en-
deavor probably to solidify the Rus
sian people behind the war and to
shatter further efforts at an armistice
for separate peace which might aid
Germany.
The Bolsheviki control is rapidly
extending to the Russian army and
navy, according to diplomatic Off
Gals here today. Official reports led
the Russian embassy to believe that
the Maximalists power has not reach
ed its crest yet. The internal Boil
cheviki program is gaining in strength
every day. 1t may be some weeks
or even months, it was pointed out
before the Russian masses realize
that their program of international
peace is doomed to failure.
Reports of fighting on the Jacob
stadt sector are regarded as signifi-
cant by military alta ches of the en-
bassy. They believe it inevitable
that some army units will refuse to
fall in with the Bolsheviki program.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The most vital

On the outcome of events in the next

Battle in ItaIy's Favor

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY,
Nov. 26-The crucial battle across the
eleven mile gap between the Brenta
and the Piave rivers was swinging in
Italy's favor today.
The fighting is indescribably bitter.
The army has been locked in a death
grapple almost continuously for days.
The Italians are not only winning do
fensively, but in the past forty-eight
hours have assumed the offensive.
Their great guns have poured an all
most seepless rain OF shells on tho
German and Austrian lines. In two
weeks it is estimated the enemy has
lost $4,000 men. So far there has
been no let-up in the attacks. Rein
forcements have been hurried up and
flung into the lines.

Efforts made by the NEWS early this
afternoon to determine who the own
ers of the barge are and where it Sc
cured it's shipment of coal were to no
avail. The Red d. Steamship Offices
were gotten on the telephone but no
information could be secured from
them. The Lehigh Valley docks here
were next questioned with no better
results, the informer here stating thai
the Lehigh Valley Raidroad owns nc
boat by that name and that no boat by
that name has been loaded during the
past week or so. The Port Reading
coal docks reported having NO know
ledge of the Evelyn Y.
At the South Amboy docks nothing
was known of the boat. The Perth
Amboy Drydooks was questioned but
thep had no record of such boat be-
Ing in local waters. The custom house
also is without any record of such a
barge being in local waters.
The information received states tina,
the coal was loaded from the barge
Evelyn Y "of Perth Amboy." 1t does
not say from Perth Amboy" so there
is a possibility of its having secured
its load of coal from some other place
than Perth Amboy, South Amboy or
