Rome, Feb. 27.-The Italian war office statement today reads:
 Between the Adige and the Brenta there was activity by hostile recon noitering patrols. They were re- pulsed everywhere by our outposts. There was lively struggle between the opposing artilleries west of Val Prenzela and along the coastal re- zion. Our batteries fired on massed enemy troops west of Monte Grappa and on moving carriages along the lower Piave.
 "In the neighborhood of Cismon an enemy ammunition store was hot suc- cessfully by our aviators. Tuesday night our flying squadron bombarded effieacously railroad structures at Butzano and Pergine. Numerous hos tile machines made incursions over the plains. They dropped bombs on inhabited localities between Treviso and Venice and with particular fury over Venice"

GERMAN ADVANCE IN

PetrOgrad Hears Troops Are Or dered to Halt InvasiOn-Pre- paratiOns for Jap Intervention in Siberia Continue.

London, Feb. 2S-The German army has received orders to stop it's advance itno Russia, according to the Petro- grad correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company, who has re- ceived information to this effect, which he regards as reliable.
 The council of peoples commissar- ies, according to Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd, has issued another call to arms, in the course of which it is declared the German invaders are arresting the workmen's and sol diers' councils, shooting captured Red Guards and arming German and Aus trian prisoners in the Ukraine. The proclamation asserts that the troops at the front have now pulled them selves together and are resisting the invasion. It concludes:
 "May the blood spilled in this un- equal struggle fall on the heads of the German Socialists, who are allow ing the German workmen to be ranked among the Gains and Judas"
 Enrolment of the new army is pro- ceeding successfully, an Exchange Telegraph dispatch says. Cossack regiments in Petrograd are being sent in the direction of Pskov, and other regiments, formed of mixed detach- ments, are marching to the front.

MERCHANTS AS

ctv,s Need of a Means of Get 0'i tine Together on Questions of Vital @ Importance, Will be Met # Association is Formed.

rho mood of an organized associa- ,... oomnosed of merchants of the .;tv is being felt during the present .,or times when food administration
 .ohlems and laws are being placed tofore the merchants for carrying out. 4 number are outspoken in their views on the matter and we are glad .o cav that all so far are heartily in favor of it. Because there has been m such an organization in past years, is no reason why one could not be nerfected now, even if the plan has been talked in the past and only talked t should only spur us on toward the goal for as time goes on, we are sure that our people grow more progress siye instead of standing still.
 There are many reasons for organ izing. For instance when the first orders were issued by the food admin stration, if the merchants had been organized, meeting could have been called of the members, the plan placed before the body and discussed, each man expressing himself freely on the best means of enlightening the con

sumers of food stuffs on the regula- tions and the plan adopted could have been carried out with better success than the present method of each mer- chant adopting his own means. An other point in favor of the organiza- tion is that when a customer fell out with his merchant because he couldn't buy as much flour as he wanted, or sugar, then MT. Customer would know that the merchants being organ ized as a unit, that there would be nothing doing on the hoarding and all would be benefited.
 One other of the many points in favor of this plan is that any question of public enterprise that comes up where there is a business organiza- tion, the body takes the matter up and considers it from public spirited standpoint. We need this organiza- tion and we believe every business man in town believes it and we must get together on it at once.

SENTR|ES ASLEEP;
 SENTENCED ID DEATH
Pershing, However, Refers Yer dict to War Department President Wilson Will Review the Case.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Four Ameri- can soldiers, caught asleep while doing sentry duty in the first line trenches, have been sentenced to death, but Gen. Pershing, although he has authority to carry out the sentences, has re- ferred their cases to the War Depart ment for review.
 These are the first cases of the kind since the American troops went to France. One soldier has been exc cuted there for an unspeakable of fense on a French child, and in his case Gen. Pershing acted swiftly without as much as referring it to Washington.
 In these cases, however, some eX- tenuating circumstances may be found for men tired and nerve worn by front line trench duty in a hitherto unknown manner of warfare, to save them from the death penalty at the hands of their own fellows. President Wilson probably, in the end, will review their cases. Going to sleep on sentry duty has long beer recognized as an unforgivable of fense, punishable by death, and sucf cases, rare as they have been tn th' 1 American army, have furnished som' of the most absorbing incidents of it history.
