EIGHT DAY MARCH,

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN
NoRrHE ERN ITALY, Nov. 2S.-Solid ranks
Of French and British infantry with ar
ulIcry and supply trains were seen by
the Associated Press correspondent yes
terday within sound Of the battle on
tho italian northern limo. They had
been on an eight day march, making
fifteen miles a day.
The French reenforcoments were first
seen In force. They were splendid look
ing young men. There were sQuadrons
Of cavalry in the road and in the nearby
fields, and long lines OF troops with
artillery trains and supplies Field
kitchens had been set up at one point
and the midday meal was being served.
The men looked in the best of condition
and did not show trace of fatigue
from their long march.
Just beyond here the color turned
from blue to khaki as long lines of the
British came into sight. In the lead
trains Following were long ranks Of
infantry. cavalry and artillery.
The artillery horses were especially
marked for their sleek, we'll fed condi-
ton. 6nd the observers noted how all
the brass work OF the guns and equip
ment glinted with the thorough care it
had had. One engineer corps was
rumbling to the rear with huge pontoons
on camions. as it had been found these
were not needed. but all the rest Of the
force was moving forward.
The men looked hard as nails despite
their steady marches. Both officers and
men were eager to hear how the fight
was going and were anxious to get for
ward.
The whole appearance of the British
and French gave feeling of great
power because OF the perfect organiza-
tion and ardor OF all ranks. accentuated
by the timeliness with which they are
arriving in the vicinity OF the battle
front

Special Despatch to TIE Su>

SpecidI DeSpufch 10 IHE Sun.
WASHINGTON, Nov. &c. - Berlin and
Petrograd are In wireless communica tion
, for the first time since the European war
began, according to reports received at
the State Department to-day from Amer
lean Ambassador Francis. Tho news is
taken to indicate that the Imperial Ger.
man Government is taking the peace
proposals OF the Bolsheviki more se-
r!ously and that the Wilhelmstrasse has
concentrated attention on the situation
in Russia.
The advantage to Berlin of this move
Is that 1t permits Teuton officials to
corspire with men like Nikoiai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky without having their
messages censored. 1t enables the Ber-
lin Government and the Bolshevki to
carry on detailed and secret negotia-
tions. and incidentally it practically
means the resumption of diplomatic re-
lations between Germany and the pres
ent Government in Russia.
The State Department here announced
also that the United States had received
the proposal. for an immediate armistice,
addressed 10 all belligerents by the
Bolshevik Government. Amba assador
Francis sent a later message stating
that the northern armies in Russia were
reported to be short Of food. This latter
information is likewise favorable to Ger
man plans.
One OF Lenines arguments against
continuing the war has been that the
return OF the Russian troops from the
front would solve the acute food short
age problem in Russia. In view of
Lenine's secret collusion with the
Teutons 1t is regarded possible he may
be taking steps to starve the Russian
armies into submission to the suggestion
that they return from the battle line.
Latest reports indicate that the scheme
Is having some effect so far as the
armies In the north are concerned.
The Bolshevik proposal for an ar
mistice Is before President Wilson. 1t
will be rejected or ignored. 1t is GER
tain that the President will not recog-
nize it as emanatng from "A representa-
tive Government of the Russian people.
The proposal calls for an armistice on
| all fronts for a period of three months,
! during which time negotiations might
be carried on for an immediate domes-
| tic peace. At the end of that time the
peace plenipotentiaries should report
back to their Governments
1t Is probable that the United States
| Government will consult with the En-
| Il ate nations before replying to the Boil
s evik, armist.ce proposal If a reply is
| 10 be made. Presumably any reply
| would be so framed as to In no sense Inn
| ply recognition OF the Bolsheviki as the
Government OF Russia.
The President might reply in a state
| ment to the American people, or per-
| haps in a communication TO one OF the
| Entente Governments (which have the
| Same proposal before them

TO SAVE SOME GRAIN

opscsot Ossp0tcH 10 IhE Dun.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2e.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover announced to-day that
President Wilson had approved q reduc-
ton in the alcoholic content Of beer. In
the future beer may not have dynamic
content Of or ~ per cent It must
be no more than per cent! which is
tame indeed from the viewpoint Of the
imbiber who likes little kick even in
beer.
In addition the breweries will be re-
Quired to use only 10 per cent. Of the
grain formerly used. 1t may afford some
consolation to know that in spite of this
saving Of grain. mostly barley. the grand
total quantity Of the brew will remain
substantially the same.
Mr.. Hoover in q statement issued to-
night tells why he does not put the brew
cries out OF business altogether and thus
save all the grain. He does not want to
put the nation on an exclusively whiskey
diet.
The food bill provides for the prohibi-
ton of the use Of foodstuffs in the pro-
duction Of distilled spirits for beverage
purposes and the use Of foodstuffs for
the production Of distilled drinks was
stopped on September 8. There is, how
ever, III tne country from TWO 10 three
years supply Of whiskey. brandy and
gin and other distilled liquors. The
food bill provides that these liquors can
be commandeered by the Government II
required for the purpose Of manufac-
turO Of alcohol for munitions.
On the other hand. requirements for
industrial alcohol in addition to the
normal output from sawdust and other
waste producto are At present negligible.
''rhose. who wish brewing entirely sup
pressed should therefore bear in mind" :"
said Xr. Hoover. that IL such course
were pursued the country would b.
placed on a whisksy bssis entirely. and
the amount OF alcohol consumed would
most probably increase.
THE desirability of saving all the
grain used IN brewing from the point of
view Of food conservation Is therefore
limited by the social question involved
in the exclusive use of whiskey."
