(By the Associated Trees.) ITALIAN HEADQUA KTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Thuivday, Nov. L (6 P. M.) Italian and allied troops are preparing for counter offensive. A great battle based on the-, line of the Tagliamento River is forec; st. Main Kalian Army lnt act. Not only is the main body f the Ital ian army intact, after ha.ving dealt sev eral blows to the enemy, but it is now apparent that the Italians ha'; thwart ed the Austro-Grman plan k.' encom passing the third army on the Carso, thereby cutting off the flowiw of the forces in this region, rendering tht Venetian plains defenseless a.r.'d en couraging the hope of the enemy for a decisive victory with, far-reach Uig po litical results. LONDON, Nov. 2. James Ian Mac Karland, Parliamentary Secretar.y to the War Office, in reply to newsn aper articles today said no doubt had '.been expressed by General Cadorna. or the Italian government to the British tt-tafff of the Italians' ability to. meet the Austro-German attack which they knew was about to be made against them. No request was received Iran Italy for help before the attack too.li place, the secretary said. Correspondent Vlewn Retreat. i The immensity of the convulsion' throucrh which thl Italian nrmv 1a nnsa- ing makes individual impressions count I for little. Yet, as an eyewitness at the 1 extreme front up to the day of retire ment and then as a participant in the retreat to the new position westward, the correspondent's experience is typi cal of those hundreds of persons that the army removed from the danger lone. It can be stated that we are situated with General Cardona and the general staff. His sturdy figure was often seen as he went to and from the front, where the Duke of Aosta, commander of the third army, and General Ca pello, commander, of the-second army, were In personal charge of the wall of steel that the Italians had erected in side Austrian territory.' Near by at that time was- the official station, where our dispatches were rig idly scrutinized. The whole city was given up to the supreme military ad ministration, with the' streets crowded with all ranks of soldiers. Soldiers Shout Loyalty. This gives a glimpse of the scene which changed witH such suddenness when the crisis came last Friday night. From that hour the correspondent tried to make frequent notes from which the entries should give the main sequence Of events. At noon Friday there was a succes sion of air raids. The alarm was sounded by triple gongs, followed by sirens and bells. The. streets were cleared, the shops- were closed and business was" suspended. The first definite information was thus given that the Austro-Germans had crossed the Isonzo in a huge of fensive. Friday night the gravity of the situation led to the consideration of a retirement of the army and the removal of the headquarters westward. The commander of the troops in this section read to them with emotion General Cadorna's stirring appeal to the soldiers to stand firm, and all Joined in loyal shouts of "Long live Italy." Saturday morning the correspondent was summoned at daybreak and in formed that all must leave at once, as the headquarters had been removed. The railway- was given over to troops. artillery and stores. Private train's and telegraph had been suspended. Bond Progress Blocked. Alii sorts of vehicles and horses were Impressed for military requirements. Throngs .of persons were walking along tne roads, and the refugees, men. women and children, were carry ing the pitiful remnants of their house hold goods, salvaged in their flight before the invaders. The correspondent succeeded "I 1 boarding an automobile of the last- British Red Cross unit to leave. A final look, at midnight from the top of the Red Cross building found that th eastern horizon was ablaze with continual explosions as the Italians blew up munition depots and bridges to impede the advance of the enemy and screen their own retreat. A- fierce bombardment was punctuated with star shells from either side while the gunners attempted to discover their opponents' -position. 1 At daylight Sunday the vast . traffic of the retiring multitude clogged the roads for miles... The- Red Cross auto mobile party expected to make 30 miles Inside of two hours, butit developed that it would take at least two days to achieve this distance. - Military Genius Shown. The withdrawal of the heavy guns and the munitions supplies revealed a military genius of the highest order, tut the civilian crowds added to the difficulty of the huge military remov al. A torrential rain increased the hardships of the soldiers and added to the misery of the women and children, who had walked seemingly endless miles over the roads and through the fields an eight. Sunday morning, at a railway cross Ing, & steady succession of flatcars as slated in the removal of the artillery. The monster guns were mounted on double cars, with a covering of boughs as a screen against air raiders. The rain was providential, as clear weather would have permitted the enemy air planes to bombard the roads and block the withdrawal. Stable Welcome Shelter. Along: the line of retreat were many wounded being carried on litters through, tao deluge- of rain.--The Red Cross car took aboard one soldier with a shell wound in his arm. Sunday night this car made only 15 miles. In 24 hours it reached a town, where the wounded man was taken to a hospital. The military occupied ths town and there was no food nor lodging to be had. The Mayor had posted a procla mation ordering strangers away. An Italian officer offered to permit the correspondent to sleep on the straw at the barracks, but later a place was obtained in the stall of a stable ad joining a hotel. Monday morning- the Red Cross party crossed the" Tagliamento River, which at this point is about 600 yards wide. Kcw )ie44nartcr9 Rrarhed. Another ISc miles consumed 12 hoars of riding through, apparently unending masses of soldiers, horses, cannon and the impedimenta of the Army. The men, soaked and bedraggled, but calm and cheerful, were not heard to utter a single word of complaint since they began their exodus through 60 miles of moving "masses. All telegraph facili ties were closed along the road. Monday night the Red Cross car a'r-" rived at the new headquarters. - Here the' .correspondent's notes must end, as all subsequent movements of the army are not to be described for the present." owing to military necessity. - The correspondents recital is only one chapter and thousands of other persons had similar experiences in the withdrawal.- However, above all the hardship and terror of the incident the fact stands out that the Italian army succeeded against terrible odds in saving the larger part of its am munition, supplies and artillery as well as virtually the entire personnel.

Fails to Arrive. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Nov. 2. (Special.) The University fac ulty at its regular meeting yesterday adopted the report of a special com mittee, which will make it compulsory for all students to wear military uni forms, beginning with the opening of the second semester, January J. The uniforms will be legulation khaki, but will have no designating insignia. They will be worn at all times and will be supplied to the students at cost by the University. For the lack of an Instructor, mili tary drill, -which was announced as compulsory for all men students at the opening of the college year, has not yet been instituted. Nearly .three months ago the University opened ne gotiations with the British govern ment for a drillmaster from among the retired officers of the British army who have seen active service in the present war. After long delay word was received that Lieutenant-Colonel John Leader, then in charge of an of ficers' training camp, had been re leased and would sail as soon as ar rangements could be made. No fur ther information regarding Colonel Leader has been received, but it is thought probable that he is now on his way and will be in Eugenein time to organize the drill course and have it ready when the second semester opens. Unless some definite word is received from Colonel Leader within the coming s eek or 10 days the position Will be offered to one of the several Ameri- tiah. officers who are available.

Willingness to Ask Emergency Board for Accessary Cash. SALEM, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) Practically at the end ofts string with the $7600 appropriated by the last Leg islature for creating and operating a tate. grain Inspection, department, the Pjblic Service Commission today sent out letters to a large number of grain men of the state to determine whether they will get behind a move to ask the Emergency Board for $5000 more to tide -them over. The letter being sent out explains the reason for the Commission's action, and .why the grain inspection depart ment is showing a slump in its batting average, and is as follows: The state grain Inspection department Is under the supervision ot the Public Service Commission, and as you probably know the sum of $7."00 was appropriated in the act which created this department, it being- the evident belief of the Legislature that such amount would be sufficient to purchase the necessary equipment, establish and maintain the otiice until such time as the fees re ceived from the inspection of grain, ware house licenses, etc., were sufficient to make the department self-sustaining. - By the pro visions of the original bill as introduced the amount appropriated was J0, 01)11, but prob ably due to the passage of the tt per cent tax limitation amendment, this amount was re duced by amendment of the ways and means committee to the sum of $7500, with the re sult that the appropriation now is practically exhausted; the fees received from various sources being insufficient to maintain the department during the development period. Situation Partly Relieved. The situation has been temporarily re lieved by the co-operation of the railroad companies so that the expenses for the cur rent month (October) will be met, after which time it doubtless will be necessary to have relief from some source or to elimi nate a large part of the expenses now in cident to the inspection and grading of grain. There seems to be only three remedies, one being the reduction of the force now em ployed, another an increase of fees and a third an appeal to the Emergency .Board for sufficient funds, to maintain the present standard of the department. The first rem edy is objectionable in that it incurs the necessity of delaying the weighing, handling and unloading of cars with consequent loss of revenue and efficiency, to say nothing of the inadvlsabllity of delaying the ready movement of cars during the present car shortage crisis, and the demands of "our Government' for the prompt movement of all food products. The second remedy can likely not be ap plied for Ui reason that Seattle and Sound terminal points are charging the same ralti of fees as Oregon. If this Commission were to raise the price of Inspection at Oregon points, it would, no doubt, result in many shipments being diverted to Sound points, as shippers and others thus would relieve themselves of paying the Increase In in spection, while the freight rate would be no more. Any action tending in this direction would bring Justly indignant protests from the shippers, mills, warehousemen and vari ous other organizations throughout the state. Third Remedy Stated. There apparently then remains but the last-mentioned remedy an appeal to the emergency board for additional funds. in Justification of such action it may welt be said that the Oregon statute providing for the inspection and grading of grain follows very closely that of the State of Washing ton, the fees for such grading- and inspec tion being identical. The above recital is for the purpose of in forming you generally as to conditions of tht, Grain Department, and the object of this communication is to secure your advice on the subject, viz., as to whether this de partment is of sufficient importance to the mills, warehousemen and the public gener ally to be maintained even though It may incur a small amount of additional expense to the taxpayers. It is not likely that In any event an amount in excess of $5m0 would be asked from the Emergency Board. Should you agree with the Commission that the advisable course to pursue is to present this matter to the Emergency Board, may we ask that you endorse the move ment, "which we feel materially will aid us in impressing upon the Board the import ance of the work of this department and the necessity for securing additional funds tor its continuance. Higb School this afternoon, the ques tion being "Resolved, That the Morn ing Oregonian is a better paper than the Oregon Journal." The debaters told of what each had accomplished, why it appealed to the readers,- why it was for the masses and not the classes, the able editorial management, news serv ice and general contents. The decision of the three judges was in favor of The Oregonian. Raymond Lawrence. Clare Gillette and Georgia Oewitte were on the affirmative side and Rose McCormick, Geraldlne Purdy and Richard Keuhner upheld the negative.

Visitors Report Seeing the American Troops Before Leaving; Baseball Knowledge Helps Bombers. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 2. (Special.) Soldiers of the National Army at Camp Lewis have begun bomb-throwing practice under the direction of eight officers of the French -army who have come direct frotn the first-line trenches in Northern France to act as instructors. .- ... One of them arrived at the canton ment two days ago and his seven com panions came today. American- Army , off icers greeted the Frenchmen cordially and soon Hie sol diers of both republics were fraternis ing happily. The visitors said that they saw several thousand American troops in France when they left there but a short time ago. Soldiers picked as bombers find that the man who learned to. play indoor baseball can easily catch the knack of hurling the bombs. They have the overhead throw -which makes for accu racy. The advising officers from France will not actually direct the schooling of the troops, but they will advise the 'American officers on all the fine technique of trench work.
