to Miss Sally Jean, director of field
work Of the child health organization:

Italy Could Crush
Austria With u. S.
Aid, Says Russell

Italy needs coal, steel, copper and
other munitions desperately. But above
ell else. this full-fedged fighting ally
Of America needs encouragement and
recognition of her sacrifices. This is
the earnest opinion of Charles Edward
Russell, Socialist author and lecturer.
who returned to the United States Sun
day with his fellow members of the
American Socialist mission that had
been conferring with radical groups
abroad, explaining to them why Amer
lean labor was heart and soul for a
victorious peace.
Italy never has had adequate recog-
milton" said Mr.. Russell last night:
"This fact is very unfortunate and
should be corrected. The Italian
armies are having hard fighting every
day, but we in the United States hear
little about it, Somehow the world
doesn't pay any attention to them be-
cause interest is centred in the French
front, where, truly enough, the war
viii be won.
"But Italy is a full-Aedged ally and
deserves more consideration than she
has received. And she is hurt by the
slight, however unintentional."
During Mr.. Russell's stay in Italy he

the Italian armies, and the highest
civil leaders of the government. The
facts about Italy's situation that he
has brought back were gathered from
them.
Last winter" Mr. Russell said, "was
4 very severe trial on account of the
coal shortage The people will CON
tinuc to endure. but if they get the
idea that they are not getting assist
ance because their allies are not trying
to help them with sufficient vigor, the
spirit and animation of the Italians are
not going to be at top notch.
"Therc is no end of coal in the
United States, and if we took hold Of
this situation mines, railroad cars and
shps-we could send plenty of coal to
Italy. The biggest visible result would
be the great moral effect of showing
Italy that we are with her and appre-
ciate her sacrifices.
"Another failure of the line like that
at Caporetto is inconceivable. General
Diaz is one of the worlds ablest com
+ manders. Propaganda has been rooted
out. and the Italians ere on guard
against it. But there can't be two
opinions about the question of reliev.
ing Italy in an economic way.
"But while we are preparing to give
material help we want to let Italy
know that we realize what size has has
been up against and what she has been
doing. She needs kind and sympa-
thetic words"
"They have earned and deserved ali
possible sympathy The Italian military
establishment has been remade since
the unhappy business at Caporetto. II

is so good now that if it were little
better they could smash through the
Austrian line. The Italians and Aus
trans are pretty evenly balanced. Owing
to shortage of munitions the Italians
can't do any more than they are doing.
but if supported by about ten American
divisions they could make a drive on
Austria that would have momentuous
results. This is the view of expert
military men. They could put Austria
out of the war and if Austria is put
out Germany is through
But whether or not we send Italy
an army of American soldiers she
ought to get coal, steel. copper and
food supplies. AS the situation is now
she has to shut down her munition
plants part of the time because Of the
coal shortage. And the munition plants
by all means ought to operate every
possible minute. The civil population
suffered terribly last winter We in
the United States have nothing with
which to measure the misery these peo-
pie experienced. Though they stood
the gaff and will again we have no right
to ask them to do so.

Influenza Deaths at

CAMP DIX. WR1GHTSTOWN, N. j.,
Sept. % With eleven deaths to- day
and four last night, in addition to
those reported in yesterdays list, the
toll of the influenza pneumonia cpl
demic in Camp Dix has reached sixty.
With the exception of two, all new VIC
TINS Of the disease are members of the
34th Division. Surgeons expressed the
belief to-day that the disease had been
especially fatal among these big West
crners because it developed il. their
organizations before they had become
acclimated to seaboard weather condl-
tions. That the disease was probably
introduced at the camp by the overseas
soldiers, more than thousand of
whom have returned here as instruct
ors, is also the theory of prominent
officers.

Examiners, Acting Under
Taft and Walsh, Favor
Men in New Ruling
Especial Dispatch to The GJibmo


BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. 23.-Thc
badly tangled munitions situation in
this city is at length on the road to
definite settlement
EXPresidcnt Taft and Frank p.
Walsh, joint chairmen Of the National
War Labor Board, appeared here to- day
and delegated to the appointed exam
iners the authoritative powers that
have been so long lacking. AT o'clock
this evening the examiners, through
Alpheus Winter, their chairman,
handed down ruling which covers
all the points that have been at imme-
diate controversy between the local
employers and the former strikers
since the latter were ordered back to
work a little over a week ago by Pres-
Dental mandate.
This ruling provides that all strikers
have the option Of reinstatement to
their old positions, without exception
CT discrimination. 1t stipulates that
back wages owing under the retroactive
wage clause of the Eidlitz award shalt
be paid by October l. In the case of
future disputes as to the status of in
dividual workers appeal to The board
is provided for.
After the announcement of the rul-
ing, the strike committee went into cX-
ecutivc session at the local headquar-
ters Of the international Association of
Machinists. AT the end of the meet
ing Sam Lavit, leader of the men dur
ing their recent strike, declared that
the skilled workers were satisfied with
the immediate provisions made and
that he saw no reason now why the
situation here should not stabilize it

Kaiser Visits Front;
Hurrah' Spirit Absent

AMSTERDAM, Sept. GIVE will
never let Frenchmen or Americans
through here" was the promise given
Emperor William by his troops when
he visited the Alsace- Lorraine front on
September 10 and 20, according to Karl
Rosner's Sunday dispatch to the "Lokal
Anzeiger.'
The purpose of the visit was 10 thank
the troops for having bravely held out
and, according to a possibly significant
remark by the Emperor's chroncler
"at the same time giving them inspir-
ing words for the fresh fighting on the
threshold Of which we are perhaps
standing on the southwest of the
empire"
The Emperor first visited the section
between Mulhausen and Colmar, where
"in sight of the Vosges front, on whose
heights and slopes the German posi-
dull roaring cannon fire, Emperor Will
lam, conducted by Field Marshal Duke
Albrecht of Wurtemberg, the COM
mander in chief of the army group,
went from division to division, camp
to camp and hospital to hospital"
Here his majesty" says Rosner.
"was again told by his generals, just
as by simple musketeers, that they
will never let the enemy pass. The
Emperor passed along the entire Lor-
raine front, but instead of visiting
staffs he called on small units, bri-
gades, regiments anc oattalions. 1t is
true that the 'hurrah' feeling of the
commencement of the war has van
ished, but everywhere one meets with
the same unshakable and sure calm
ness which never for moment doubts
of victorious resistance"
The correspondent reveals the fact
that the brigade commanded by Prince
Oscar, the Emperor's son, is stationed
on this front. He says that Prince
Oscar has, returned to the field, not
withstanding the after effect OF mis-

GERMANS REPULsED AFTER
MAKING ATTACK AT CAMBRIA

The British advance between Cam
rabi. st. Quentin paused yesterday af
ternoon long enough to smash a series
of heavy german counters. then swept
forward again on a wide front captur-
ing eleven miles OF the Hindenburg
line outposts, General Haig reported.
Counter attacks began about 8 o'clock
today on an eight mile front between
Gouzecourt and Trescault following a
terrific bombardment. The British
fire simply smothered the hun. Very
few ever entered the British trenches
but were annihilated by British reat-
tacks. The Australians resumed their
advance shortly before midnight. They
virtually occupied the whole linden
burg line outposts from Pontruet
northward to Gauzecourt A great
number Of german dead are lying be-
fore the British positions on the whole
front of the enemy attacks.
