ITALY HAD MORE MEN UNDER ARMS THAN OTHER NATIONS, CONSIDERING ITS POPULATION
Premier Orlando Tells Sena tors Country is No Posi- ton to Demobize Single Man-15,600

 The war, he said, had cost Italy 54, 900, 1000, ,000 lire. The public debt at the end of October was 64, ,000, 100000 lire.

that Italy was not in a position to de- mobilize a single man and that all war material should be kept intact. Tho immediate difficulties to be surmount- ed, he said, had not diminished but had increased. He added that repar- atiOn for damages was a question out side discussion. President Wilson's principles, he continued, excluded an indemnity in the traditional sense of the word, but doubtless Italy would adopt the same policy regarding separations as the other Allies. A commission has been appointed to es- tablish Italys damages.

Late, is Appeal of Grand Duchess
 .AnaStasic.
 Geneva, Dec. IS, (By the Associat- cd PresS)-Germany made great blunder in entering the war and should admit that she was in the wrong. declared the Grand Duchess Anastasie, Of Mecklenburg-Sc -Schwering. mother of the former German crown princess, in an interview today. The grand duchess, who is a Russian and cousin of the late Russian emperor came here at the outbreak Of the war and now is about to go to the Riveria for her health. She had many rela- tiveS fightirg against each other on all fronts.
 Declines to Discuss Kaiser.
 The correspondent was the first newspaper man she had. talked with since the beginning of the war. Re plying to a question about the former emperor and the former crown prince, she said pathetically:
 '"Tnero is q splendid maxim in your language: Don't hit a man when '@he is down. Let us observe this prin- ciple, this sporting principle during our conversation.'. Asked why she had left Germany as soon as that country began military operations she replied;
 War Came As Great Surprise.
 T could not remain in a country which had declared war on my own country-Russia. This war came as a great surprise to me and my son. (Frederick Franz ", grand duke of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin, who abdicat- ed several weeks ,ago,) although we were in constant touch with the roy al families Of Germany, Russia and Denmark. It has been said that not more than 20 persons in Germany understood what a cruel mistake it was going to be. I was one of them. ] However, Gs I never meddled in poli- tics and never intend to, I was not able to interfere
 says Germans Blundered.
 But I continue to think that Ger many maIc a great blunder in enter ing this terrible struggle, not only from q humane point of view but also for political and commercial req sons as her commerce was prosper A ous. Now she has lost all. Germany should create a political financial and artistic ation by openly admit ting:
 "'We acted wrongly; we are sor- ry'".
 The grand duchess said she had no news from her daughter, the for ccr crown princess, since September, except through a letter from her eldest daughter the queen of Den mark saying both of them were we'll. She made an appeal for help for the country of her birth, saying:
 Allies Must Save Russia
 If the Allies abandon Russia, Rus sia is lost. The Allies do not seem to understand the situation clearly. About 7S per cent. of the Russians have respect far only two things, God and the czar. The peasants now say: We have no czar whom shall we obey?'
 Ut will take the population 50 years to understand the meaning of the words republic and president. The Russian people want someone to worship because IL is their old GUS tom, their religion and their lives. Let the Allies stake note and help poor Russia before it IS too late.'

MORTORISTS SHOULD USE
PACIFIC COAST PRODUCTS

AS the war goes on the need for
conservation in every direction is
constantly increasing. Not only
must we conserve food and fuel, but
we must relieve the railways as
much as possible for war needs.
One way in which this can be eff
fectively done is to use products
made at home. President Wilson,
himself, has urged us to "use the
products of the local factories in
order to save locomotives and
freight cars for the war department.
The Pacific coast produces a
large quantity of things which are
the equal, if not better than similar
goods brought from the east. Among
these are many of the products used
by motorists. This is particularly
true of lubricating oils.
Government and other experts
have long recognized the unsur-
passed qualities of the l~ubricating
oils refined from California asphalt
base crude.

EASTERN WARDEN

TO HELP IN WAR
$4,000 PRISONERS TO
WORK

PITTSBURGH, Sept. "a. - Pris-
on labor as a factor in winning the
war is being urged by Warden John
Francies of the Western p%eniten-
tiary, who is a recognized authority
on the management of penal institu-
tions and retaining r%ecreant man

Mr.. Francies has taken up the
subject with the chamber of com
merce of Pittsburg, which body has
called upon congress to enact leg
islation which will permit $4,000
inmates of prisons in the country to
engage in war work.
According to the views of Mr..
Francies, the criminal is a patriot.
He will be glad to help win the war
if allowed to do so. State laws
passed to fit peace conditions pre-
vent this.
He holds that it should be posi-

purposes during the continuance of

EHICLES NOW TRAVEL ON
LEFT SIDE OF
ROADS

CAMP KEARNY, Cal, Sept. 25.
Radical changes in traffic regula-
tions throughout the cantonment
and in regulation scovering vehicles
under control of authorities here,
are made in a memorandum issued
here a few days ago.
The outstanding one for pedes-
TRANS in camp, except marcing
troops in formations, is that they
must keep to the left side of the
read, instead of to the right, as
heretofore. The new rule keeps
pedestrians facing all approaching
automobiles and is designed for
safety. 1t is in effect at several
other environments.
Vehicular traffic within the camp
is limited to a speed of Is miles
an hour, except motorcycles, which
may go as fast as 90 miles an
hour. This rule does not apply to
ambulances in emergency calls DR.
to fire apparatus answering alarms.
Stages operating between the
camp and San Diego are required to
leave passengers entering camp at
any unit area they may designate.
Stage lines must keep to the adver-
tised schedules, but may run Eek
ira" cars whenever they like. The
capacity of stages is to be deter
mined individually by the provost
marshal. By inference, this rule
prohibits overlooking.
Vehicles must not stop within so
feet of. another vehicle standing on
the opposite side of the road. No
vehicles are allowed on the parade
ground, except for the use of troops
at drill. Nor may horses be rid
den across the parade grounds. Gal
Looping of horses is prohibited ex-
cept in emergencies.

new REGULATIONS NEW AND DRASTIC
GOVERN TRAFFIC. RULES FOR LABOR
AT CAMP KEARNY BEING PREPARED

A letter recently received by
Judge j. Emmett Walsh, director of
the county council of defense, from
the state council of defense, states
that because of the present labor
shortage of 100000 men, both
skilled and unskilled, in war indus
tries Nathan A. Smyth, assistant
director general of the government
employment service, is now mail
ing the most drastic instructions
aver issued in this county to all
community labor boards, instruct
ing them to prepare and publish in
every city and county lists of non
essential positions now held by men
that could be filled by m
The result will be that men fail
ing or refusing to leave such posi-
tions of their own accord and en-
gage in essential work will be re-
garded as slackers.
The order is intended to force the
hand of both non-essential labor
and employers of such labor and
the letter from the state council
says: THE lists probably will in
clude clerks and office help, ticket
sellers of all kinds, attendants and
similar occupations"
The letter further says: "Smyth's
order may ultimately become the
most drastic of all, for community
labor boards will insist that no man
shall occupy a position which a
woman can fill. This nation must
work or fight and the order is made
necessary because employers of ION
essential labor have, in many csa-
es, failed to meet the issue square,
ly."
The formation of a board of three
members to act as an industrial
advisory board to the district draft
board of Nevada recently was an
nounced from Washington. Judge
l.. N. French of Reno has been Sc
lected as the labor representative
and the other members will be an
nounced soon after the meeting of
the district board on Oct. /.
No blanket" exemptions will be
made and no specific industry will
necessarily exempt a man employ
ed in it. All registrants must fill
out their missionaries fully and
them over to their local
boards, with or without claims filed
by their employees. Any questions
that then arise regarding industrial
claims will be submitted to the dis
trict board.
