PIAVE BANK
CLEARED OF ENEMY
so ITALIANS REPORT
Victory at ZensOn Grows In
Magnitude As Full Reports
Are Received

With the italian Armies. Jan. g.
Except for a few outpost position near
the delta at the mouth of the Piave,
the whole western bank of that river
today was clear of Austro- German
forces. Italian troops by their cap
ture of the Zenson bridgehead drove
back the last of the strong enemy
forces
Some idea of the magnitude of the
Zenson victory may be given when it
is explained that the German position
was about concrete "nest" of more
than sixty machine guns, cleverly
concealed under bank of the stream.
The position had been built with ex-
ceeding care and was evidently held
impregnable by the enemy. 1t was
captured almost intact by the irresisti-
BILE rush of the Italian forces.
Austrian aviators managed to drop
bombs on an Italian station about five
miles distant from Venice today. They
were evidently headed for Venice it
self, but were forced to turn back with
out achieving their aim, owing to the
vigorous Italian aerial defenses.
Snow now many feet deep in the
mountains was expected today to
force a shifting of the major fighting
to the Piave front. In the opinion of
the officers, the Teutonic offensive on
the Asiago front and between the
Brenta and the Piave is now definite
ly at an end.

SEN. REED CRITICISES
HERBERT HOOVER'S way
Food Commissioner Vigorous
ly Defends the Action
Which Was Taken

Washington, Jan. 3.--Usurpation of
authority under the food law in fixing
wheat prices was charged against Her
bert Hoover, food administrator, by
Chairman Reed at the senate sugar in
quiry today.
"Didn t you assure congress when
the bill was pending that there was no
authority for price fixing7" asked
Reed.
Well, you abused the powers con-
ferred on you in that bill-an act that,
under normal conditions, would be a
criminal one?' asked Reed
well, everything has been done
with full approval of the president, -
answered Hoover. 81 consider the bill
in its general purpose gives me auth
ority to do as / have IN the matter,
even if it does not specifically say SO.
We faced a big emergency"
Hoover maintained that wheat prices
have been stabilized.
The farmer, he said, was consulted
and agreed to the price fixed, which
was fifty cents over the previous year
market.
The flour price, he added, had been
reduced So per barrel to consumers un-
der the early war prices. This is but
small advance over the flour prices
q year ago, he said. Reed disputed that,
saying it was nearly double the 1915
price.

Provost Marshal CrOwder
Says Plan Should Be Adopt
ed for 100000 Man

Washington, Jan. 3.--Immediate reg
istration for military service of all men
who have become 81 years of age since
the first draft registration was urged
today by Provost Marshal General
Crowder in his annual report to the sec
retary of war.
If this is done and similar registra-

for service every twelve months and
this would not necessitate taking men
from the deferred exemption classes.
THE policy and belief of this office
is that in all probability it will be
possible to fill our military needs from
class one," the report stated.

is probable there will be a shortage of
farm labor in the spring, although the
new draft regulations have relieved
that situation"
The report was placed before con-
gress today with the request for an
amendment to the selective service act
which would change the plan Of allot-
ing quotas.
In the first draft the quotas were
based only on population, but Crowd
er asks that the new basis be made the
number of men found in class one in
each district. Dissatisfaction was caus-
ed in many districts under the last
draft because the large number of
aliens, all of whom were exempt, caus-
ed the quotas to be much higher than
the average.
The per capita cost of drafting has
been $4.93, which is about one fourth
the amount it cost the government to
! get each volunteer into the army. The
lowest per capita cost was in Oklahoma,
where the average was $1.57, while Del
aware led the list with $l6 for each
man.
This includes all expenses necessary
to get the men to the camps.
Crowder' s report was submitted to
congress at noon.

FORGOTTEN

Senator La Toilette voted against
war and he worked against the con-
gcription law which made it possible
for us to win this great victory which
today fills the world with hope and
low. He declared Germany had been
patient with us. Has he ever yet pub
licly declared we have been patient
with Germany? Will he now publicly
confess he was WRONG?
Yesterday was the greatest public
holiday in the history of the world
because the people of America and of
all the free nations of the world cele
brated the rise of democracy and the
fall of autocracy. Where did La Fol
Iette celebrate? Did he publicly cele-
brate? If he. did, where?
Senator La Toilette declared that
this war was not popular with the
people. He was either blind of vision
or hopelessly wrong of conviction.
Which of the two is for him now to
confess.
There never was such popular war
as the war of defense which America
, fought. There never was a victory
hailed with such worldwide exalting
because it was the rise of democracy
on the ashes of autocracy.
Where was La Toilette, who was
once hailed by his followers as being
the peoples peerless leader? Where
was he in the greatest crisis that ever
confronted all the world and when all
humanity was battling for freedom {?
Look into the faces of any of the few
men in Madison who still secretly de-
fend La Toilette in the face of his
war policy and in the silence of their

sible for the sake OF politics he can
afford to lose fame and glory and the
alteration of a whole people, such as

and politics adjourned" our only po-
litical disturbances have come from

league, the pro-Germans and the l.

in a body from this land of freedom
and justice.
Faithfully and obediently we have

people who rewarded them?
We MUST win this war, and win it

happiness they banished for greed

The Germans do not know even the

They need punishment according to
their crimes-and they will be forced
to respect the hands that deal that
punishment.
