RED CROSS DOING
 GREAT WORK IN
 EASTERN VENETIA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL- IAN ARMY IN NORTHERN ITALY, Saturday, Nov. 24.-Majors Bicknen and Devine and Captain Kellogg of the American Red Cross were at head quarters today concluding an inquiry ip connection with an extensive plan of relief work which the Americans are undertaking for the entire refugee civil population suddenly swept from east ern Nenetia This is a vast work. as more than half q million people fol- lowed in the wake of the retreating army suffering incredible hardships. many of them dying along the roads.
 One of the most effective American reliefs is taking care of the entire working population of Venice. which has been compelled to leave under the menace of a bombardment. With the American consul, the Red Cross rep resentatives went over the situation in conference with the civil council of Venice and placed at the disposal of the council 265000 lire to meet i'm mediate requirements.
 A large part of the working class of Venice has been engaged in making boots and shoes for the army and the evacuation has threatened to leave VI rort. The Americans have undertaken with the Venice authorities to re- establish all these industries at Rimini near Ancona, and in the cluster of iu- dustrial towns around Rimini. The working people will be transported there and the boot and shoe industries resumed, thus helping the army IS wei as the workers. T number of other industries also will be set up.
 The American officials have met here Count Ferry, head of the relief work in forwarding refugees to various southern points.
 Arrangements have heen made for the Americans to take up the work of assisting the families of Italian soldiers killed or wounded. Count Ferry was handed 5000 lire as preliminary, and this amount will be supplemented as the needs of the refugees are system atized.
 The officials went to Treviso later, where they inspected the deserted city, l which is along one of the main high | ways of the fleeing refugees. They will i visit Verona, -r..an, Genoa, Florence | Bologna and the central and southern | districts where refugees are collected | down to Sicily. The tour was ordered | by Major Grayson M r. Murphy head 1 of the Red Cross in Paris, and reports | based on the present tour of all the main centers will develop the full ex- tent of the important work.
 Members of the American Red Cross went along the Piave line yesterday | visiting the commanding officers ant inspecting some of the scenes of the recent heavy fighting. They were mos
 cordially welcomed by the Italian of ficers.
 Reports of a possible declaration O
 war by the United States against Aus tria arouses the keenest interest anC
 enthusiasm in all ranks and in civilian
 quarters It is felt that such actioI
 would give new impetus and inspira
 ton to the whole campaign.

To Combat pukhonin

PETROGRAD Friday Nov. 23- tMiduightD a meeting of the cen tral executive committee of the work mems soldiers deputies tonight. the Bolsheviki premier, Lenine. replying to criticism directed against the order that the soldiers open negotiations for an armistice, explained that the order was issued in the desire to combat the revolutionary tactics of General Dukhonin and other high officers, mak- ing it impossible for them to prevent the opening of negotiations.
 This he said. was in keeping with athe policy of the democratic govern ment. that the masses themselves act. since the bureaucrats, civil and mili- tary, were distrusted.
 Lenine declared that Russia did not contemplate a separate peace with Germany: that the belief that an urmistice on the Russian front would make it possible for Germany to throw a large force on the French front was groundless as the Russian government, before signing a treaty for an armis- tice, would communicate with the al lies and make certain proposals to the imperialistic governments of France and England, rejecting of which would place them in open opposition to the wishes of their own peoples
 The autocratic methods of the COun- cil of National Commissioners. as in- stanced by the Issuance of decrees re- lating to an armistice without con sulting the executive committee of the workmen's and soldiers deputies, which is the highest governing body in Russia today, have caused dissensiou in the ranks of the Bolsheviki. The conflict between the protesting mem bers of the committee, notably the so- Cialist revolutionists and the Council of National Commissioners is ripening The question of the authority of the council to issue an order to soldiers tC open peace negotiations was heatedly discussed.

Milwaukee Bomb
 Plot Still Mystery

The casualties which resulted from the explosion remained at eleven dead and two injured, no other bodies hay ing been found when the demolished room in police headquarters was searched thoroughly. Many gruesome sights confronted the searchers, and great crowds of curious persons stood outside the building anxious to glimpse the scene.
 Federal state and county officials, as well as detectives from the police de- partment of Chicago, are investigating the facts surrounding the tragedy, and by some it was intinated that through the peculiar construction of the bomb the makers might be known to the authorities.
 The trial of eleven men who Ewere said to be connected with the Bay View riots several weeks ago, when a religious meeting held by the priest was broken up, is set for Wednesday. Rev, Guiliano has stated his deter imitation to appear as a prosecuting witness, and there is some thought by police that the bomb may have been placed by persons who wished to pre- vent him and others of his congrega- ! tion from testifying against them.
