It is declared that this wou' q be impracticable in the case of brick or piping.
 The resolution of the Rhode Island general assembly endorsing the pro- posed council of state in the estab- lishment of a definite relationship be- tween sources of state and federal revenues. and providing for official representation thereon, has been in troduced by Congressman Stiness. Also. a petition from the state board of soldiers relief requesting favorable action on the Heating bill to increase the appropriations for soldiers homes; also. resolution of the Rhode Island Homeopathic society favorine passage of the Dyer bill to increase the rank of army medical officers.

 State Chairman Thomas H. West, Jr., warmly congratulated Chairman Charles p. CottrelI of Westerly when his success was announced, that the Westerly district had gone we'll over the top and that the end was not yet. The Westerly district has the honor of being the first Liberty loan district in Rhode Island, comprising three or more | towns, to report all as having exceed i ed their allotment. Charlestown, Hop kinton and Richmond were oversub- scribed last week, and now Westerly ] has fallen into line. The district UT | to Monday night had subscribed $34, I 450 over it's allotment of $375, 900. The figures are: Westerly. $326,600: Hop kinton, $41,700: Richmond, $26, ,S50; Charlestown. $14,30o.
 Capt. George H. Webb, director o1 the draft for Rhode Island, declares l that the state will have about 3.00t | creQltS TOT voluntary enllSlmenlS dIle for men already called in the presen draft The statement attributed tC the provost marshal general tha Rhode Island credits exceed and there fore eliminates the 1918 quota, he says does not agree with the state records According to estimate of Captain Webi the state quota toward the proposed 1918 additional quota of S00,000 would be between 4,O00 and 1000 men. De ducting 5000 credits, Rhode Islant would still have to furnish betweel 1000 and 1000 men.
 Captain Webb says that if Genera Crowder is correctly reported in hi statement that Rhode Island will b. exempt from further draft calls, hi assertion is based either on new meth ods of calling the draft or else is baset on figures varying materially iron those available here. In any case, tn first draft method of adopting gros
 and net quotas misht again be used so that in the end Rhode Island woult
 still be called upon for additional in
 crements.

italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Monday, Dec. S1.-The magni-
tude of the achievement of the
French troops on the Monte Tomba
region grows, as full details are re-
ceived. In addition to 1,34s men. in
cluding A Austrian officers, several
OF high rank made prisoner, and
seven large guns captured, the booty
includes sixty machine guns, several
trench quick-hrer and a great
amount OF miscellaneous war ma
terial.
But the chief significance Of the
stroke is the change from defensive
to offensive tactics, and the stirring
enthusiasm and suTeness with which
the French delivered their initial
blow against the enemy lines. Thus
far the enemy has been on the of
fensive with the Italians delivering
telling defensive blows.
Now, however, the French have
turned the scale and the enemy is
being attacked in this sector for the
first time since he reached the Piave.
The story Of the fight shows thor
oughness OF preparation and heroic
bravery in execution. The scene was
southeast Of Monte Tomba, low,
snowless mountain just west of the
Piave where the allied lines turn
into the m0untains Eegton. Here tl1a
artillery preparation began Satur-
day, but the main bombardment be-
gan at noon Sunday and increased
hourly until the enemy was deluged
by the French fire.
It was then that the crack French
infantry swung forward in steady
lines from Osteria di Monfenera and
a front of about two
miles. The heaviest forces were on
the right wing. italian and British

Eastern Railroads Ignore
Passenger Schedules
and Priority Orders
GIVEN FREE HAND
BY NEW DIRECTOR
Told to Effect Freer Move
ment of Food and Fuel
At Once

Washington, Jan. 1.--Eastern rail-
roads went rapidly to work today to
clear freight congestion and effect a
freer movement OF food and coal re-
gardless of passenger schedules and
previous government priority regu-
lations.
Acting on sweeping orders issued
by Director General McAdoo last
night, designed to relieve the tam
gled traffic situation the roads set
about their task unhampered by re-
strictions prevailing under the OLD
competitive system.
Lines west and south were notified
that they soon might be asked to fur
nish locomotives and other equipment
to tighten the burden of the eastern
roads and committee Of government
officials was appointed to devise a
plan for routing excess freight to
south Atlantic seaports.
In place OF the railroad war board,
dissolved at its own request, the di-
rector general named a temporary
advisory committee of f1ve members
to aid in general control.
Members of the war board viii re-
turn to the active supervision OF their
roads.
Aside from these actual steps to
straighten out traffic and relieve the
coal famine, interest centered about
proposed legislation embodying the
presidents recommendation for re-
irnbursing. the railroads.
The legislation providing compen-
sation on a basis OF pre-war earn
ing probably viii be introduced in
congress soon after the President de-
livers his address.
Increased wages FOR railroad en-
ployes pending in demands made on
the railroads recently by the four
brotherhoods probably win be
discussed at a conference set for
Thursday between Director General
McAdoo and the brotherhood chiefs.
