VENIZELOS REJOICES
 OVER U. $. IN WAR

Rome, Monday, Dec. 31.-"I was ra- joiced when I learned that President Wilson had declared war on Austria, because Americas complete partici- patton in the conflict means the array ing of the whole democracy of the world against the central empires ' said Premier Venizelos of Greece to the Associated Press. America brings not only a contribution of men, but financial forces and moral support.
 "I am convinced that any proposi- tion of peace coming from the central empires will increase President Will sons skepticism, making that states man even more cautious" the Greek premier added.
 The last Germs nmilitary attempt according to the Greek premier, pain fully failed at the Piave. which like the Marne, is the line on which the second great phase of the European war will be decided against the central powers.

New York, Jan. l.-With another day of bitter cold and intensive sui- fcrinq from the general fuel shortage, New York today had it's first real coal riot.

 try in Districts.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Coal trains went forward today under new gov ernment orders based on belief of Director General McAdoo that rail- way congestion, rather than actual shortage, is responsible for the fuel famine in many districts. Upon re- ceipt of reports that hundreds of loaded cars were stalled on sidings behind long strings of cars contain ratings than coal, all existing priority orders for the entire country were suspended by Robert S. Lovett. prior ity director of the war industries board, on recommendation of the di- rector general. This is expected to result in quicker movement in the en- tire mass of congested freight whose sluggishness has been caused lately bv a multiplicity of priority orders.
 President Before Congress Friday.
 President Wilson, it was learned to- night, will go before congress Friday to present his recommendation for legislation to make government Op- eration fully effective and to provide for compensation of the carriers. and legislation which has already been drawn will be introduced immediately after his address. Representatives of the railroads were to have appeared tomorrow before the interstate conn merce committee, but when word came that the president desired to address congress Friday it was an nounced that they would ask permis- sion to withhold their statement for the present
 Divide Country Into Districts.
 Hundreds of telegrams pouring into the railroad administration told of coa! trains and individual cars appar- ently lost in yard confusion. Early action to divide the country into op- erating districts with a government supervisor over each. and possibly a railroad director for each state. has been urged strongly upon Director McAdoo. Many of the telegrams which have reached him in the last few days are from persons or or ganizations urging the appointment o1 certain men to positions which may be available when the director general decides on the form and personnel O1 his permanent organization.

Entire Right Cleared of In- vaders by Venson Loop
 Drive Of Diaz Forces.
ARTILLERY ACTIONS
 ON OTHER FRONTS
Fierce Big Gun Duels Only Fighting Reported From North Italy and France--Germ;anS Claim Gain
 by Rupprecht.
Associated Press Summary.)

Another reverse for the Teutonic allied arms following that effected by the French troops in their initial drive on the northern front in Italy has been brought about by the Italians in sharp attack in the famous Ven son loop on the lower reaches of the Piave river. Here the enemy has been driven to the eastern bank of the tram from positions he has held since the Italians, in their Petrograd move ment from the Isonzo. made their stand along the eastern shore of the Piave. Thus the entire right bank of the Piave has been cleared of the in- vaders, except far to the north. where the battle line runs westward from the stream through the hill country. The fighting for the Venson bridge head has been in progress since last Thursday, the Italians keeping ener- getically after the foe in order to re- gain the position, which always has been considered menace to Venice. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy by the artillery and rifle fire of the Italians before he was forced to recross the stream.
 Only Artillery Action.
 On the northern front the infantry again is idle for the moment. but the big guns of both sides are keeping up intensive duels on various sectors, particularly around Monte Tomba and on the Asiago plateau. The enemy is continuing his air raids over import ant towns on the plain, his latest at tacks having been directed against Vicenza, Basano. Castel Bronco and Treviso. Thirteen persons were killed and A others wounded, the majority of them civilians. Only a small, ma- terial damage resulted from the new raids.
 Germans Claim Success.
 Likewise the operations on the front in France and Belgium are being con- fined almost exclusively to lombard ments, although the German war of- flee claims further gain of ground by the army of Crown Prince Rup- precht of Bavaria over the British south of Marcoing, in the Cambrai sec tor. Still further progress has been made by the British troops operating against the Turks in Palestine. north of Jerusalem. The Turks in the fight ing of the last several days have lost more than 1000 men killed and 75O taken prisoners.
