 IN OUR CONGRESS

Special to The Rev-ew,

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz, Oct. 25.-Con- gresman Julius Kahn of San Francis co. ranking member of the house com mittee on military affairs and the great military leader of the house of representatives stopped here today en route to his home from Washington Congressman Kahn was shown a copy of President Wilson's telegram to Geo. Babbitt commenting the 'loyalty of Carl Hayden, candidate for re-elec- tion to congress and recently commis- stoned a major in the army when his defeat seemed imminent. A broad smile illumined Congressman Kahn's face when he read the telegram pur- ported to have been sent to Mir. Bab- bitt. He said:
 Tt may be presumption for me. a mere congressman, to question the statement Of the president of the Uni ted States but, as I recall, the record shows that Hayden voted exactly the same as did Congressman Slayden of Texas would suggest that you ask Congressman Slayden what kind of a letter he received from the president which caused him to withdraw from the congressional race in his district down in Texas"

ITALIAN FRONT
 SUDDENLY ACTIVE
 AFTER QUIETNESS
Washington Watches With Interest This Movement, as Well as British Operations in Flanders
(By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The sud den flare of activity on the Italian front after months of almost complete quiet. attracted attention today among military officials here. It was noted, however, that first official reports from Rome carefully refrained from describing the actions as a drive.
 The fact that nearly 5000 prisoners were taken yesterday shows the sur prise nature of the attacks and it also may indicate waning morale in the Austrian army. Officers here would not be surprised if the Austrian forces, in view of conditions at home, showed weakness under heavy assault.
 The place selected for the attack indicates the present operation may be preliminary steps to a major often sive. If the high ground between the Brenta and Piave rivers is carried in sufficient force, observers here be lieve it might be possible for the Italian army, supported by French and British units and artillery and possibly by American troops, to reach the valley of the upper Piave and out flank the whole Austrian position on the lower stretches of the river, run ming from the Monte Grappa plateau to the sea. Immediate withdrawal of the Austrian forces on this line would appear to be the certain result of any striking Italian success on the lines now under assault.
 The Piave forms a great loop. flow ing down toward the plateau from the northeast then swinging sharply southeast to reach the sea. West of the Monte Grappa heights that defect the rivers course. the Brenta flows down from the northwest and bends sharply south about the eastern face

TANKS SLIGHTLY ADVANCE AFTER
 HEAVY FIGHTING
Extraordinarily Fierce En- counters Result in Gain of Important Heights in Bel leau Wood

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Oct. %, CBy the Associated Press, p. m.)- From a day of extraordinarily severe fighting the Americans emerged to- night slightly in advance of the posi- tions they held yesterday. The gains made are slight, but are regarded as extremely important, especially on the left where the higher ground dominat- ing much of the surrounding terrain has been gained.
 There has been comparatively lit tie alterations in the positions on the center, but the American feeling in Belleau wood. east of the Mouse, was more securely fixed, notwithstanding the determined efforts of the Ger mans to force the Americans back.
 The fighting for positions just be- yond Belleau woods began at 4 o'clock this morning when the Americans drove their way forward. At daylight the Germans counter attacked and since the failure of that operation have launched three other attacks, equally successful.
 On the American left the gains made by the Americans left them at the close of the day on the ridge extending from Talma farm to Belle joyeuse farm, on line through the Boursogne woods.
 Clouds and ground mists reduced aerial activity to a minimum, but ar tillery. employing both high explosives and gas projectiles in enormous quantities, was used by both sides. Besides the artillery reaction at points where the offensive was in progress, the Germans devoted much fire to the back areas and that portion of the front about Bantheville, where the American line was advanced slightly.
 Despite the desperate resistance of the Germans and their apparent in- tention to initiate a counter offensive. information falling into the hands of

Navy Equipment, Mounted oa Special Trains Have Played Part in Recent Allied Vic tories
CBy Review Leased wlre)

. WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-Details of the achievement of the navy depart ment. in making available for use on the western front of the great na- val guns, which press dispatches have reported to be hammering the Ger manrailway centers back of the Disc Serre front, were made public tonight by Secretary Daniels
 The navy guns, which have been in operation since September 16, orig inally were intended for new battle cruisers, but a change in the design of the vessels left the guns unavail. Earle. chief of the navy bureau of ordnance. then recommended taht the guns be sent to the western front and he was directed to proceed with the design and construction.
 The guns are manned and operated by officers and men of the United States navy, under the command of Rear Admiral Plunkett, former direc- tor of the officers of gunnery exercises and engineering performances. The first party of officers and men to handle the guns arrived in France June 9; the first shipment of material left this country June 20, and the entire organization was completed and ready to move to the battle front in France late in August
 The guns are said to throw a heavier projectile and have a greater velocity than any weapon ever placed on a mabile land mounting. The weight of the explosive used with each projectile is many times greater than that used in the freak German long range guns. and in point of theii destructive force they are incOmpar able.
 The organization to man one gun re- quires an entire train. including the gun car itself, ammunition cars. a crane car and construction. sand, tim Der. kitchen. fuel. workshop. berthing and staff radio cars. Many of the cars were especially manufactured by the Standard Steel car company and the locomotives, S3 ton types with four pair of drives. were built by the

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-Arrival in France of Col. F.. M House, President Wilson's personal representative and Admiral BensCn, the highest ranking officer in the American navy has cleared the way for the beginning of such deliberations by the supreme war council at Versailles as may be neces- sary to frame the draft of an arm istice to be submitted to Germany. The premier of the allied countries, who make up the political elements of the council, can be assembled at short notice, but is presumed their presence will not be necessary until the military and naval members have completed their work.
 IL was said today in official quar- ters that Colonel House would not be a member of the council at least for the present; that he simply is the eyes and ears of the president in Europe, charged with ascertaining the exact state of public and private feeling in regard to all matters connected with the war. Possessed of full knowledge of this nature, it is believed the prest dent will be even better prepared than heretofore to deal with every phase of the complex problems that will arise as soon as negotiations for an armistice and peace are fully under way.
 Individual views of the entente powers are certain to develop as the result of the action of President Will son in boldly stating the war aims of the United States. in fact, it is understood that the president desires to have these disclosed at the earliest possible moment. so that united front on these questions might be pre- sented to the common enemy by prior agreement among the countries fight ing the central powers. Colonel House will be in a position to learn these views and perhaps to recon

On the northern Italian battlefront
 between the Brenta and Piave rivers the Austrians are being put to the test
 in a new attack by British, French and Italian troops, while in Mesopota- mia the British again have gone on the offensive against the Turks and at last accounts were making consider able progress. In Albania and Serbia the operations of the allied forces are tending toward the slow but sure evacuation of the invaded districts by the enemy forces.
 In the northern French theater the British are centering their efforts south of Valenciennes to cave in the salient between that city and Leques- nov and move on toward the import ant function town of Maubeuge. with the two fold purpose of finally en- composing Valenciennes and reach ing the Belgium border.
 Everywhere the Germans are offer ing the stiffest of resistance but ney- ertheless they have been compelled to give up the town of MaIng and most of the intervening points south ward along the railways of LeQuesnOy, which now is all but in British hands
 Between the Disc and Serre rivers American naval gunners with 16-inch guns have joined the French in their efforts to hammer their way northeast ward toward Hirson. one Of the key point positions in the German line American shells from these guns ire being hurled against both Vervins and ROzOy.

North of Grand Pre-. which lies in the valley above the famous Argonne for est. several hills of the utmost im- portance from a strategic standpoint have been taken from the desperately resisting enemy machine gunners and artillery.

 When the British attacked this morn ing they held Vendegies and the high ground east of that place. From these points they drove off before daylight into the ridge country north and east.
 The details of the fighting here are not yet available, but it is known that the British pushed through early in the day and were still going ahead.
 The British second army, attacking in conjunction with the French on the northern battle front. fought its way steadily forward in the face of heavy artillery fire and captured Moen, in Flanders. The French are reported to be making good progress on the British left.

REPUBLICANS REPLY
SAY IN WAR THEIR RECORD STANDS HIGHER THAN THAT OF DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY AND THAT IF FIR MEN ARE CHOSEN WILL DRIVE WAR ON
cRy Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, Oct 25-Presi-
 dent Wilson in a statement today
 addressed to his fellow country
 men asked them to return to demo-
 cratic congress in the November
 elections if they have approved of
 his leadership in this critical time.
 Failure to return a democratic
 majority to both the senate and
 house the president said, not only
 would seriously impair his power
 to administer ''the great trust as-
 signed me by the constitution
 but would be interpreted abroad
 as a repudiation of his leader
 ship.
 The presidents action electrified re- publicans at the capitol, who issued a formal reply in the name of the party leaders in the senate and house and the chairman of the senate and house republican congressional cam paign committees.
 The republican statement. declar- ing the minority party in congress had supported the administration poli- cies since the war began with an un- animity and an absence of criticism unprecedented in party history, point ed to the record as proof.
 The war, the republican statement contends, is not the presidents ''per- sonal war" nor the war of congress, nor of a party, but of the American people, and declares, ''the republican party, representing more than half the citizenship'of the country, demands its rightful share in the burdens and re- responsibilities it imposes"
 If given a majority in either or both houses, the leaders said, the republi- can party would drive forward the war and hasten victory and would check the waste now going on of money given by the nation.
 Several senators and representa- tives. both republicans and democrats, issued personal statements during the day and most leaders on both sides prepared for the debate which was expected in the senate when it reas- sembled Monday after the weekend recess, and possibly in the house.
 WHAT PRESIDENT SAYS
 Following is the presidents appeal:
 My Fellow Countrymen:
 ''The congressional elections are at hand. They occur in the most critical period our country has ever faced or is likely to face in our time. If you have approved of my leadership and wish me to continue to be your un embarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly beg that you will express yourselves unmistak- able to that effect by returning a dem ocratic majority both to the senate and house.
