 Landed at Vladiv0stOk

Rome. April 5.--The official statement issued by the Italian war office today reads:
 "Along the mountainous portions of .the front the enemy carried out a per- sstent. harassing fire against our lines on the Asiago plateau. We dispersed enemy parties on the western slopes of Mount Ortler and our artillery engaged marching troops and transport move ments in the rear of the lines from Suse- gana to Conegliano.

If this opinion is accurate, the division. in all probability. was marched to the front when American troops were ranked shoulder to shoulder with those of Eng land and France.
 MEN GOING ACROSS
 To meet the need of more man power at the front. the peoples of France and England have reduced their consumption of food practically 20 per cent. and American and English vessels engaged hitherto in food movements are now en- gagged in putting Americans in France. This fact. coupled with new tonnage ac- quired by seizure and trade from Hol- land and Japan greatly facilitates troop movement and the idea now holds that Americans in France by summer will ap- proximate 100000.
 IL is learned that as soon as the allies are informed that Americans have sailed, an equal number of veterans, held In re- serve. are rushed to the front. In this way the United States is daily increas- ing the allied strength pitted against the German onslaught.

OPPOSITION EXPECTED

That determined opposition to the plan will develop in some quarters has been foreseen. The effect upon the labor market of the addition of many thousands of able bodied workers might be to reduce the present wage scales. The economic balance will Do kept even, however, according to the champions of the programme, by the reduction in the cost of life's necessi- ties through increased output and in the improved situation of the dollar in international exchange.

millions of registered men is proposed in a plan submitted to President Will
 son today by officials of the provost
 marshal generals office and the dc-
 pertinent of labor.
 While the primary purp&s of the new programme is "the purifcation" Of the second. third and fourth classes of reg istrants who are not engaged in any pro- ductive industry, attention also would be given to lower sections of Class l, and the effect, its framers believe, would be to solve the nations labor problem and largely increase the output of the neces- sities of life.
 The proposals would utilize the draft machinery for putting industrial slack CTS to work. Every registered man who has been granted deferred classification would be given to understand that such deterrent is not legal right, but priv ilege and that if unfair advantage is taken of that privilege it will be sum marily revoked.
 It is proposed to make a most careful survey of the lower sections of Class and of other classes to identify those men who are idlers or who are gaining their living through undesirable or harmful pursuits. Under the latter head, officials suggest, might be listed gamblers, bookmakers for races, pool room touts and others. Formal notifica- ton would be served upon these men that, unless within a specified time they obtained employment in some useful in dustry, they would have their clsesified status changed so as to send them into military service immediately.
 The plan is not designed to interfere in the slightest with the so,called nonessen- tial industries. These may be affected to some slight degree, but officials say such injury would be offset many times over by the resulting national good to be obtained from the augmented labor supply and the greatly increased pro duction of essentials.
 Administration officials who have par ticipated in the preparation of the plan declare that the next step would be to obtain authority for the industrial classi- fication of the man-power of the country up to the age of 50 years.

UTILIZE LOCAL BOARDS

To make the programme fully ef- fective it is intended to utilize the existing local boards virtually as en- ployment agencies for their districts. Accurate reports would be kept as to the vacancies existing in the neigh torhood and when man was in formed that he must seek a useful occupation he would be told where just such a man as his questionnaire shows him to be was needed.
 The status of men on the classified lists, both in class one and and in the deferred classes. in the opinion of the provost marshal generals office, would be improved. Delinquents who did not heed the warning would be inducted into the military service. re- ducing the number of men to bc called from class one. This would oper- ase to delay still further the date when the services of men in class two might he needed.
