AMERICANS To STRIKE
lEUTONS IN ITALY
Will Demonstrate Unity of Action
and Purpose in Great Drive
at Austria.
BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening


Washington, Oct 29-American troops
are on the verge OF active participation
on the major Italian front. This was
from the Italian headquarters that
Americans are standing on reserve behind
the British and Italian forces now driving
across the Piave.
The news is considered significant
because 1t indicates that the Italian drive
is definite part of the great offensive
that is rapidly bringing complete defeat
to the central powers It has added
meaning to officials here, also. since
Austria now is pleading for an immediate
armistice.
So far as official announcements show
there are but two regiments OF infantry
and necessary auxiliary. troops IN the
American force in Italy. These units
and any Others that have been sent
probably will operate as part of one OF
the Italian or British organizations when
Inc time comes to throw them into the
tine.
The sending OF American troops to
Italy was not with the idea OF adding
military strength, but to demonstrate
the unity of command and purpose on
all fronts For that reason the force
detached by General Pershlng for this
purpose is believed not to have exceeded
a brigade of infantry at most. The
artillery support contributed by the
Allies to the Italian front is largely Brit

Italy and have participated in the work

\ campaign that may well be
termed the Save the Herd Move

state. and its influence is being re

citation of the value of milk as

by greater appreciation in the

tion and the world at large The
campaign is under the joint auspices
of the United States Food Admin
istration the Oregon Agricultural
College, the State Board of Health.

A well known authority on die

and eyaporated, and plenty of the

known that milk, even at the ad-

foods the housewife can provide for
