with additional members of the crew are missing.
 The representatives of the chief na- tions at war with the Teutonic allies are gathering in Paris for the inter allied conference at which are to be discussed momentous questions for more unified action in the prosecution of the war.
 The American, British and Italian missions already have reached tie French capital. They are led, respec- lively, by Colonel E. M. House, David Lloyd George, the British prime min ister, and Vittorio Orlando, the Italian premier.
 In addition to determining a basis for stronger joint action against the enemy countries, the conferees doubt anomalous situation in Russia, where the Bolsheviki factions are in control, and where German staff officers are reported to be acting as military ad- visorS to the Lenine government. PoS- sibly a most pertinent point in the discussions will be the future attitude of the allied countries toward Russia does not place the Bolsheviki govern ment and its followers in the category of allies of the central powers
 Inside Russia the unsettled condition Of affairs daily seems to be growing more intense. All communication now has been severed between north and south Russia, even the foreign em- bassies in Petrograd being unable to get in touch with Odessa and other points to the south. Unofficial advices are to the effect that the Russian northern army is in dire straits for food, having had no bread for several days.

WIRE BARRICADES ALONG
 NEW YORK WATER FRONT
They Will Be Built in Front of the Piers, 100 Yards Distant.

New York, Nov. 27-Patrol of the water front zones forbidden to alien enemies will be taken over imme- diately by United States troops. This decision was reached today at a con- ference of representatives of the ar- my, the United States marshaPs of fee, the police and transportation of ficials. Local authorities will co-op- crate with the military in guarding the harbor property.
 Barriers of barbed wire are to be erected, beyond which no one can pass without proper credentials. There will be two series of wire barricades, and even if anyone should succeed in eluding the outer sentinels the au- thorities believe he could not pass the inner line. The fences will be built in front of the piers with gateways at frequent intervals.
 For the present the barbed wire barriers will enclose small areas, but fater. it is expected, they will be ex- tended to include the entire zone of 100 yards fixed hy presidential decree as the boundary of the area forbidden to enemy aliens.

Around the village of Bourbon and Bourbon Wood and about F'ontaine N0tre Dame, in the region of Cambrai, the British troops are keeping hard after the Germans In both sectors General Byng'S forces again have made considerable progress, especially at Fontaine. where, having been evicted of last week, they again have obtained a footing in the town and have da- vanced almost to the main street A heavy concentration of enemy machine guns in the F'olie Wood did not succeed in stopping the British advance. The southern portion of Bourbon village also was entered by the British after some of their troops who had been isolated there for some time, the British withdrew to their original posi- tions.
 Possibly in a supreme endeavor to break the Italian line before the Brit ish and French endorsements enter the fray, the AustrO-GermanS, com prising an entire division, have attack ed the Italians in the Brenta valley, on the northern sector of the Italian front Like similar, though smaller, attacks during recent days, the offen- stve was stopped by the Italian artil- lery and infantry, the enemy suffering heavy losses in men killed or made prisoner. Four additional attacks be- also were put down with severe cas- Ealties. and everywhere the Italians held their original lines.
