Continued From Page One) elsewhere and that the recruiting of railway men for France and the draft law also had reduced the force of trained men in America.
 The statement of the brotherhoods signed by the four chairmen, Messrs. Stone, Lee, Carter and Garretson, fol- lows:
 The men who comprise the railway brotherhoods are thorough Americans. They believe in American standards of living, and realize that standards of pay established in 1912 anc 1913 are inadequate to meet present day prices and for that reason are demanding an increase that will meet half at least of the increase in cost of those things which they are compelled to purchase.
 They want to cooperate for the successful prosecution of the war and they realize that the most serious thing that could occur during the war would be any interruption of railway trans portation and they in common with the great body of the people are deter mined to do everything within the bounds of reason to avoid such inter- ruption.

 comfort given by the Red Cross sweaters.
 The French enjoy humor, and they have had littla or no occasion to laugh during the past three years.
 "AI along the line 1 heard French officers laughing at the antics of the men of one of our regiments.
 "On leaving their ship, instead of Pullman cars or comfortable Amer ican day coaches they found on the dock freight cars bearing the mark for 20 men or eight beasts Instant ly each carload of troops adopted the character on an animal and as they passed through the stations crowded with welcoming Frenchmen, one car would burst into bleating like sheep, and another would whinny like horses, or moo like cattle.
 French officers praised without re- serve the Red Cross canteen work at a railroad center near the front, where Miss Margery Mott and her associates are doing a wonderful work. A freight shed beside the station has been con- verted by the soldiers into an attrac- tive hotel, where a shower bath, a clean bed and a good supper can be had for a franc (20 cents) or less.
 Formerly those troops on their way home for six day leave would arrive at and leave this important junction tired, dirty and hungry. If they bought anything it was at highway mans prices. Now they go home clean, fed, rested. That, helps morale. , "The-Y. .M. CA. and the Knights

Press )-The fourth Italian army under General Robilant is meeting the full force of the tremendous shock the enc my has concentrated between the Piave and Brenta rivers. In authoritative quarters the correspondent was told that the enemy forces delivering this blow are in the proportion of three to two as compared with the Italian forces and this is virtually the relative strength on the two wings west of the Brenta where General Pecori commands the first Italian army and the right wing along the Piave where the Duke of Aosta holds the enemy as in wise.
 It is in this position that the fourth army is experiencing the most intense action with attacks following in rapid succession. Reports early in the day were satisfactory, as the main fighting ground was further north on the enemy's positions, though at one point the enemy succeeded in breaking through the Italian lines on the foot hills of Monte Fontana Secca, compel ling the reformation of the defensive lines little further back.
 These fluctuations are marked by the bloodiest fighting with the enemy re- serves coming forward for three sue ecssive attacks which were met at the point of the bayonet and driven back, except for one push down the coveted valley.
 Just west of this main field of ac- tivity the Italian first army rushed the enemy positions near the Brenta river and in two attacks and counter attacks held the occupied ground which was strewn with enemy corpses. On the lower Piave the enemy forces he h9 fl< of Benson are now placed at seven hundred men who are being raked by the artillery, as they have tried to set up a line of machine guns across the small asea they occupy.
 Reports are coming in from the in vaded Venetian district of fearful acts committed by soldiers but this is stated under reserve as it is impossible at present to give confirmation.

TORPEDO MINE" IS
 NEW ENGINE OF WAR
OOndon TimeSl

The newest engine of war to be introduced by the Germans is the torpedo mine," according to the cap tain of a British merchant vessel now in port, who is also a reserve officer in the British navy.
 According to this captain, the new idea is just what the name implies and is nothing more than a spent torpedo that has missed it's mark.
 In the past, when a torpedo was fired at 8 merchant or war vessel by a submarine and failed to strike the mark, the explosive tube kept on its course until it's motive power died out, when it sank. Now, however, the Germans have perfected the tor pedoes to such a degree that if one misses its target it will turn over and float when the propeller stops, becoming a high explosive mine. The torpedo nose becomes a detonating cap, as well as one or two more that are distributed over the tube.
 Like the periscope mine" which made it's appearance when the British admiralty gave the order for all mer- chantmen to attempt to sink subma- rines by ramming them and offered a reward for each, the new mine was
  the captain, is now carefully watched for
 The merchant captain also had something to say about the art of camouflage which is now being used on merchant vessels to offest the submarine.
 T have seen vessels painted so many different colors and in such odd ways that to attempt to describe them would be folly" he said q don't understand the work myself, but have seen some evidences of it at sea that have fooled me lprettily.
 T remember seeing one vessel ni the danger zone not long ago that seemed to have a destroyer lying beside it. I thought the captain very fortunate to have such protection. but did not have time to envy him because of the dangers that con- lfronted me. When I got to port the freighter came in and l noticed. much to my surprise, that it had a full sized and rigged destroyer painted on each side amidships."

condition under a tyrannical dictator ship" before the American government. To a reporter this man, whose iden- tity is withheld for the present, said:
 Shortly before I left Venezuela two newspapers, each named the Phono- graph, of Caracas and Maracaibo were suppressed and their editors placed in prison. Their offense consisted simply in the circumstance that they pub lished editorials broadly in sentiment.
 The German organ, however, which heaps abuse upon the United States and impugns the motives of President Wilson and the American nation in entering the war is allowed to con- tinue it's weekly dissemination of Ger man propaganda ad hbitum; this not withstanding the fact that the great majority of the Venezuelan Teople themselves are at heart pro-ally.
 At Puerto Gabello. the last port in Venezuela at which my steamer tuched, there is a fortress in winch, 1 was re- liably informed. ahout five hundred political prisoners arc confined, many o1 whom are forced ta wear heavy ilon
  ed with the greatest inhumarity. Their offense is that they were suspected of entertaining opposition to the continu- ance of the despotism of General Gomez and his retainers. In other cities in Venezuela the prisons are like wise crowded with political offenders.
 Prominent persons I met stated to me that Venezuela's only hope is the intervention of a foreign power, and implored me to bring the true situation of the country to the knowledge of the American people and government, and to urge their support in putting an end to the intolerable conditions that pre- vail in Venezuela.
 Tt Is significantrthat the government of Venezuela, fearful lest any 'un- wholesome truths be brought to the notice of those of it's citizens. .who read English, recently has given orders to the postal authorities not to deliver newspapers published in the United States. Practically since the entrance of the United States into the war all foreign newspapers have been kept out of the clubs in Caracas by order of the government"

 Then Wainwright almost spilled the beans" He told one of the men in the office that he had been married August 4, and had put one over on the boss"

The prisons of Venezuela are crowd ed with political offenders, shackled and manacled with heavy chains and suffering other inhumanities; news papers that dare to express opinions favorable to Germany's enemies are suppressed and their editors thrown into jail. Prussian agents are practical ly conducting the government through General Gomez, president elect, and described as dictator. while the op- pressed people, most of whom are anti German in sympathy. have sent a se- cret appeal to the United States to in- tervene.

 After the foregoing had been made public President Wilson issued this statement:
 Tn addition to the statement given out by the heads of the railway broth erhoods the president authorized the representatives of the press to say that he had got from the interview exactly the impression conveyed by the stateI ment of the heads of the brotherhoods, namely that the men whom they repre- scented were not inclined to contend for anything which they did not deem nec- f essary to their own maintenance and the maintenance of their families and that they would be willing in case any critical situation of controversy should arise to consider any proposed solu- tion in a spirit of accommodation and 8 patriotic purpose

House Makes Statement

LONDON, Nov. 22.-Prior to the de- parture of the American mission for Paris, Colonel F. M. House authorized the following statement to the British officials, press and public which he asked should not be published until after the mission reached France:
 I have been impressed by the won derful machinery you have created herel at the heart of your empire to control your part of the war You have given the world an example of the efficiencyI and democracy which will be of last ing value. The glorious victory of the Somme is the beginning of the reali- zation of this efficiency and will heart en every lover of democracy through out the world.
 We also are creating in Washington a vast new machinery of government to bring our resources to bear and we shall profit by what we nave seen here. We all realize that no human organiza- ton is perfect and 1 am sure you will not be content with yours any more than we will be context with ours until the tolls that We are making havs ac- complished the great work for which they are being forged.
 Tt is inspiring to feel that our two organizations will work closely and sldhhlI AO6CtuC lllo CAUSE OI We appreciate beyond measure the kindly reception your officials. your press and your citizens have given us en we will take back to America delightful sense of your warm hos pitality. Our visit has been memorable and I hope profitable to the cause in which we both are enlisted"
 The departure of the mission was made as quietly as its arrival a fort night ago. Those who said farewell to the Americans included Secretary Bal four, Chief Justice Lord Reading and the American ambassador, Walter Hines Page, who walked the station platform with Colonel House and the other members of the mission for ten minutes before train time As the special train pulled out Colonel House stood on the platform ana waved fare we'll until out of sight.
 One of the British party declared to teh Associated Press as the train dis appeared that the missions visit to London has unQuestionably been 8 great success and done perhaps more than any other single event to impress British officialdom with the actual sig nificance and importance of the Amer ican entry into the war.

FUNSTON HEAT
 PLANT WORKING

Home on a furlough, Sergeant Neri Orborn Jr. arrived in this city yes terday for a two weeks stay.
 The sergeant who is in the ordnance department, is delighted with army life and is only impatient for the time to come when he will be ordered from Camp Funston to France. Eager to be in active service across the sea, the young soldier is awaiting the time for marching orders.
 Sergeant Osborn declared that con- ditions at Funston were admirable. Since the installation of a heating system two weeks ago the boys have known camp comfort and every day adds to the list of improvements that are being made by the government for the men.
 That boxes from home are appreciat ed was the statement made by Osborn who advises anyone who wishes to please the soldiers to send them gifts of candy and cake.

ism. devotion and unselfish zeal that remains an inspiration"
 But the system itself was lacking, he adds. We hacked the first increment of our armies with broad axe because there was time for no greater refine ment. We must pare future increments away with greater discrimination. The selective system must be carried to it's logical conclusion and we must meet Prussian efficiency with a greater American effectiveness
 With this text, General Crowder out lined the underlying motives of the new classification system for registered men which the boards are about to be- gin. In doing so, he assured board members that the great burden which rested upon them in the first draft had been reduced and the demand upon their time cut down.
 He expressed an urgent hope that the present members would remain at their tasks as a patriotic duty. The board members, he said, are as essential in their places as the army itself
 "Yuo are, in effect" he adds, "a part of the army of the United States in that you are the sources of its supply. The nation is rapidly becoming a great system and if this part of it were dis turbed now it is not too much to say that that system would be shattered so effectively that it would take weeks if not months to repair the damage"
 In conclusion General Crowder as serts that the volunteer method of raising armies is gone forever.
 The principle of selection has been tried and probed by our people, he adds. T am led to believe that they approve it with substantial unanimity.
 The principle of selection is estab lished. The system of selection i'm proved as we can improve it must be- come and remain a permanent part of our government system for war.
 Tt l for this reason I say we are standing not at the portals of past but rather at the threshold of a future."
