In n strong speech at Palace hall
last night United States Senator
Frelinghuysen replied to President
Wilson's appeal for the election of a
Democratic congress.
The senator was introduced by
Mayor TenBroeck, who acted as
chairman of the meeting, and he paid
q glowing tribute to the patriotism Of
Perth Amboy as exemplified in the
various calls for financial assistance
from war activities. He was loudly
cheered.
In speaking about the Morgan ex-
plosion he told of the coming senate
committee investigation and how the
committee would come to Perth Am
boy next Thursday and sit at City
Hall; how. the investigation would be
most thorough as to the cause of the
explosion and what was now being
done to safeguard the citizens OF this
and surrounding towns from . repe-
tition of another such occurrence.
He asked that the citizens of this
city support Governor Edge in the
coming election by placing him in
the senate. He told OF the good work
state and Of how he has always CO.
operated with President Wilson In all
Of his war measures.
Senator Frelinghuysen went into
details of how President Wilson had
declared that all politics were Off and
how 1t has been agreed upon that no
active campaign should be INDUCED
in and of how he himself had given
up the idea of going on the stump,
when suddenly without the least
warning President Wilson had come
forth with an appeal that the citizens
of this country elect all Democratic
senators. He said the President had
taken advantage of a situation and
that 1t had then been found necessary
by the Republicans to get busy and
he appealed to all voters to elect
Governor Edge as senator and all
other Republicans.
He spoke of the good work Senator
David Baird had done, how he had
always stood by the President and
that while Baird was against woman
suffrage that he believed that 1t was
a matter for state to settle.
He also urged the voters to stand

One year ago the italian armies
were streaming from the Isonzo with
great military disaster imminent
Today the Italians with British and
French divisions aiding them, and
with American contingents In reserve,
are pouring through what appears to
be q breach in the Austrian lines on
the Piave river.
Zaldottia Valdobbihdene has been
captured, Conedliano has been occu-
pied and long line stretching south
of the TreZieo-Oderzo railroad. the
allies are moving steadily ahead. Over
20, 600 prisoners have been taken.
Reports from the Piave front indi-
cate that, after the first rush of the
allies, the Austrians resistance de-
creased greatly and there are indica-
tions that along the center of the line
the enemy front has been cut. The
next few days may see the whole Aus
trian army fronting the Piave in re-
treat toward Taglianento.
Bitter fighting has been going on
In the Meuse sector. East of the
Meuse the American forces have
moved ahead once moro and have
wrested important positions from the
Germans. West of the Meuse the
Germans have been heavily lombard
ing the American lines and back areas
with gas and high explosive shells.
American long range artillery has
been pounding the enemy supply line
at Conglames.
West of the Argonne forest the
French have begun an effort to turn
the Aisne line. which is the main OBJ
stacle to the safe advance immedi-
atelv west of the Argonne in the re-
gion of Vouziers. The new attack
was over the front from San Quentin
lie Petit to Herpy. north of the Aisne
and good progress was made in the
first few hours.
In the neighborhood of Valencien-
nes, the British are apparently check
ed for the moment at least. North of
Valenciennes French, British and Bel
gians have improved their lines. but
do not appear to have succeeded in
breaking through the German center
lines defending Ghent.

AT WILSON'S APPEAL

by Robert Carson when they went to
the polls and help defeat Thomas ].
Scully. his opponent.
Frelinghuysen stated that there
were severed things in the fourteen
peace terms that were not clearly un-
derstood by a number of the members
of the senate. Ono was the article
which some of them felt had to do
with free trade and he was opposed
to IL IL such Is the case. Another Is
the fifth article which is the freedom
of the seas which, IL II means q re-
turn of the German sea trade and
the giving up of tile Hoboken piers,
etc, he is also against.
He fired some red hot shot into
President Wilson in his attack on the
chief executive and urged that every
voter get out and help elect Repub-
lican senator this year for, he said, II
the Republicans have control IL will
mean everything in this war for the
majority of Republicans have stood
back of the President in all of his
war measures while some of the
stated that while the Republicans
were satisfied to back the President
to the limit in his war measures they
were not satisfied to back him in
everything else, especially since his
appeal that only Democratic senators
be elected.
Mayor Opens Meeting
Mayor TenBroeck in opening his
address said that he felt that this
was a fitting time to hold a good old
time Republican meeting and he cer-
tainly was glad to see the hall pack
ed the way II was. He stated that he
felt now is the time to light" up.
That the Republicans had not intend
ed to- have an active campaign but
that President Wilson had opened up
the campaign by his desire to have
only Democratic senators. He then
introduced the first speaker of the
evening, Assemblyman James h.
Edgar, who seeks to be elected as
state senator. Mr.. Edgar made a
short speech in which he asked for
the support of the local Republicans
and that they also elect all of the
other Republican candidates.

Andrassy communication as transmit

that the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment had transmitted to London,
Paris, Rome and Toxic copies of this
latest note TO President Wilson stat
ing the approval and support of the
allied governments for its new plea
for an armistice on all fronts and
peace negotiations.
In the light of these moves and

ALLIES DRIVE A WEDGE
SEPARATING AUSTRIANS

trian forces are retreating under heav-
lily increasing pressure and It is felt
that the attacks against the enemy
will become overwhelming as soon as
the entire allied force can enter the
action.
With three successive days OF fair
weather. an extremely large body OF
troops with supplies. has crossed tho
pontoons over the Piave. 1t is ex-
pected that the Austrian munition
supplies will give out. There are in
tillery is being withdrawn in an effort
to save the big guns.
The American Red Cross Is prepar-
ing DO assist the Italian population in
towns evacuated by the Austrians. A
majority of these people are old men
and women and children. For ten
miles back from the river the country
has been desolated. Only one house
is left standing at Cimadoimo.
Belated reports show the Austrians
retreating steadily to save themselves
in the Plave district, where 150 guns
and a thousand additional prisoners
were captured today. Mont Grappa
has been attacked violently by the en-
emy, however, but the action resulted
in a repulse.
King Victor Emmanuel visited the
recaptured territory today. The cor
respondent saw him helping to
straighten out traffic on crowded
road over which italian troops and
thousands OF Austrian prisoners were
passing. The italians cheered the
king who smiled and shook hands
with the soldiers nearest him.
More than 10000 prisoners have
been captured since the attacks began.
