The dispatch follows:

Austrians Mass For Attack on italy

Austrians Mass For Attack on Italy
Washington, April l - Imminent
danger Of an attack by the Austrians
in great force upon the Italian lines
was emphasized today at the Italian
embassy. Recently the embassy pub
lished statement that no less than
forty divisions had been gathered by
the enemy along the battle lines, and
now have received the essential of
food, artillery and munitions for
which they have been waiting.
Recalling the increduility with
which the Italian advance warnings
by the tremendous onslaught by the
combined Austrian and German arm
les on the Izonso last year were re-
ceived by the allies, the Italian mil
itary authoritieh now are said to earn
estly hope that attention will be paid
to the danger which again impends.
The war departments weekly mill
tary review referred today to the pro-
liability that, failing to break through
the combined British, French and
American forces on the western front,
where they are now attacking, the
German general staff will direct its
efforts at another point, and the It.
allan military men are confident that
Italian line in the neighborhood of
Lake Garde will be the selected point.

Chevrolet May Have
to Keduce Production

Production of the Chevrolet Motor
company of California for the year
1918, originally figured at 22,OOO auto

c. Durant, vice president and sales
Dealers and agencies throughout the
west supplied with Chevrole. products
from the factory in Oakland have al
ready signed fer the number of cars
in the first estimate, but if present
conditions avail, they will have to be
content with a reduced quota. AS is
the case with all other American firms
worthy of the name, the Chevrolet Mo
tor company OF California is willing to
abide by the decision of government
officials.
''We have received no direct word
from OFFICIAL headquarters, said Mr.
Durant in a letter to Delano CT the To-
cal Chevrolet agency. "But we'll au-
thentieated rumors from the east indl-
cate the parent Chevrolet company a
reduced its estimated production from
close TO the 1900. car mark to less
than half that figure. If this is true
the Chevrolet Motor company of CAN
fornia must follow suit, though not In
the same big proportion.
''Any cut in our production VIII De
for the purpose Of conserving mater
ials and labor, and not because of the
railroad situation. Our plant in Oak
land is so supplied with material that
if we did not receive a single ship
ment between new and the middle of
July, we could turn out fifty eonae
plu,e ears fer every day in the week.
The same condition prevails in send
ing our finished product to- dealers
throughout the western states. In this
part of the country the railroads are
in a good position to make prompt de-
hveries, and in many instances we are
able to take advantage of water con
ne~ctions.'

Salem School Board
Not Delighted Over
Proposed Changes

The proposition CT a school year of
4S weeks, beginning next fail viii soon
come up for consideration before the Sa-
lem board Of directors. Endorsed by the
members Of the president cabinet ana
the commissioner of education, the 4S
weeks school year Will receive serious
consideration this summer throughout
the country, although of course, nothing
win be done to extend the present
school year into the coming summer
months.
Harley o. White, chairman Of the
school board thought the 48 weeks plan
might work out in the cities, but hard
ly adapted to towns like Salem, espec-
tally where the boys are needed for
farm work and the early fruit seasons.
Director E. T. Barnes could see no
special advantage for the Is weeks term
especially as the summer vacation in
this valley seems to meet the needs #
the community On account of this being
a fruit country where help is needed
even until late in the fall. fhe system
might be all right, but not adapted to
the Willamette valley.
Director IL. l.. CLARK is opposed to
any 4S weeks term. He thought the pre-
sent a very inopportune time to intro
ducc the system, especially when so
many men are tdhen away from the
farms.
Director Max O. Buren, was not ready
to express an opinion. lie had not had
time to think it oven as last night was
the first he had heard of inc new school
year plan.
Director Walter wrnslow hadn' It
heard anything about it and was not
willing to express an opinion after the
system had been explained to him.
Superintendent John H. Todd said the
system had been tried out in the east
several years ago when the public was
not quite ready for the change. Bluff
ton, Indiana, has been holding q 4S

neetiou with their activities ON the
western front. This does not take into
account the motorcycles necessary for
training purposes at the various can
tonments in this country. Possibly ID
600 would be a fair estimate of the mo
toreycies which will be required for the
environments when the machines needed
for the use of officers and orderlies is
added to the actual training machines.
Ono reason for the large number of
motorcycles in use by the warning ma
lions of Europe, in fact the main reason
of the motorcycle. In the hands of a
trained man a motorcycle will average
90 to 40 miles per gallon of gasoline.
No wonder the allies early in this war
saw the great possibilities of the motor
cycle toward conservation of that all
important commodity, gasoline.
Possibly the use of the motorcycle by
the dispatch rider is the largest use to
which the motorcycle has been put in
the war, Next to this the motor machine
gun corps probably are using the most
motorcycles. Next in order is the use
of the motorcycle in the signal corps,
where its use is increasing every day,
On the western front large numbers
of motorcycle ambulances are now in
use. Most of these are designed to ear
ny a single streteher, which is mounted
between the motorcycle and the side
car wheel. Some of the latest motorcycle
ambulanees, however, are built in a
double deck style, which permits the
carrying of two.
The motorcycle and sideear offers
some very distinctive features for an
ambulance, for this combination can
pick its way over almost any kind of
road, or, if necessary, it can travel
across country where not ever a trail
exists. 1t can dodge shell e%raters, and,
owing to the light weight of the motor
cycle and sideear (about 500 pounds)
it can traverse the muddiest roads,
where heavier vehicles would be hope
lessly mired.

GIANTS HAVE NOT NET
BALL PLAYERS
Western Clubs wal Be the
Barriers Between Them
and Championship
By II. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, April 22t-There should
be no undue alarm over the squirt of
speed the Giants have ~unsuspectingly
turned loose on the wild baseball fans.
1t was to be expected, all things con
side, ed, in the light of the way the
first stanza of the 1918 National lea
que schedule was set up.
S. far the Giants have met the
Prooklyn Dodgers and the Boston
Braves. The Braves still are guests IN
Gotham and will continue their s4rlts
today. The two teams which have bat
tied the champions Of the Tener 'ea-
que probably will stage a long fight to
see which of them lan1s as high as
seventh-siNth at the best. Therefore, 1t
isn't extraordinary that a team OF
champions has run over them without
mercy.
And this ism It the sad part of the
tale for the rest of the league-not
by any means. When the Giants get
through with the Braves they are 60
ing to Brooklyn, where they again
will take the Dodgers on. 1t may be eX-
pected. thai the Giants will continue
their winning ways. Following the
Brooklyn series they are billed tor
philadelphia, where they probably Will
meet their first strong opposition.
The western clubs must be the bar
riers between the Clans and the 1918
championship. The four of them look
capable, with the possible exception OF
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chr
cago and the Giants are apt to make
up the first division of the National
League. The fight mus. be among

Todd thought in time the people would
see the advantage Of an almost contin-
uous school year as it would work to
the advantage of all and would also be
of value working towards the general
efficiency of the school system. Prin-
cipal j. G. Nelson of the high school
was also in favor of the proposed school
year, believing it would eventually work
ouf for the best.
However, the consensus of opinion of
the board of education was that it was
not adapted to the needs of this COM
