The guard detachments over the cen tral railway of Brazil have been dou bled, all officers have been recalled to their garrisons and furloughs sus pended. In response to the demand for repris als against German aggressions, the President of the Republic has sent to the Congress a message containing the following recommendations: "First, annulment of contracts for public works entered into with Ger mans; second, prohibition of new land concessions to German subjects; third, control of German banks and eventual annulment of their license: the exten sion of these measures to German com mercial firms; fourth, prohibition of Western Front Now Extends From North Sea to Adri atic, Says War Expert.

England, France and Italy stand firmly united to oppose any further advance of the enemy in the Italian sector, says the War Department's weekly review of military operations. The statement euggests that the Teutons probably thought Italy would be left to her fate or that the allies would be unable to dispatch the necessary forces in time, "but declares that England and France already have sent largo reinforcements, and the western front today stretches from the North Sea to the Adriatic. Only bare mention of the American troops in France is made by the de partment. In pointing out that the momentous events in Italy must not "lead us to forget that the principal battle front of the war remain: in France and Flanders," the statement cays: "Here our forces are fighting." War Enter Open Stage. "Our attention during the past week has been centered on the gigantic utruggle now going on in the Friullan I'lain," says the review. "The Austro-German forces, breaking through the Italian defenses along the upper reaches of the Isonzo, have erupted into the lowlands and carried forward a series of rapidly co-ordinated operations which have resulted in the conquest of much territory. Trench warfare has, for the time being, been abandoned. Great troop masses are maneuvering in open country. "Under the direction of General Cadorna the Italian armies have with drawn to the west bank of the Taglla mento River.

An almost incredible story of penalties inflicted by Austrian courtmartlals was given out tonight by the committee on public information. It is translated from the Vienna workingman's journal, which published the facts to demon strate the necessity of the general am nesty which Emperor Charles pro claimed. it is related, how one copy of a proc lamation by the Czar and General Krennenkampf, which had been dropped in 1914 from a Russian airplane on the Austrian troops, was responsible for sentences against 39 persons. Six were death sentences and the others aggre gated 91 years. The article goes on to tell of the sentencing to 18 months each of nine school children who listened to the reading of the proclamations and of 11 other school children to one year In the penitentiary. Three 16-year-old boys received 10-year sentences. The landlord of one pupil received three years and a second man who showed a copy to his helper was sen tenced to death.

The maximum temperature was 66 and the mini mum 44. Today will be a rainy one, predicts the weatherman, with increased south easterly winds. The rain will be gen eral over Oregon and Washington.

Great Britain and France are rushing to the aid of Italy in her critical hour. Not alone have men and guns been sent to the battle front along the Taglia- mento River, where the Italians are holding the Teutonic invaders at bay. but the war brains of Great Britain and France are on their way to Italy to consult with the Italian leaders. Purpose la Plain. Premier Lloyd George and General Sir William R. Robertson, chief of the imperial staff at British army head quarters, are the leaders of the British delegation, while Premier Palnleve is the chief representative or the rencn mission. No details of the plans of the joint mission have been announced, but un doubtedly the purpose is to give Italy what she requires in the way of mate rial for an intensive conduct of the war and also to assure her of a great rein forcement in man power, guns and am munition. Aviator Lead Aid. Meanwhile, General Cadorna's forces are holding the invaders along the Tasr liamento by means of their heavy artil lery and quick firers. All along the front Italian aviators are dropping bombs on enemy ammunition depots and troop formations. What for the moment would indicate a further menace to me Italians is an offensive begun by the enemy In the Trentino region. In the zone of the Giu dicaria. Here the enemy has endeavored to break through the territory to the west of the northern shores of Lake Garda, but was repulsed after a heavy battle, leaving prisoners In th- hands of the Italians. Recently there have been reports that the Austro-Swiss border has been closed and that the enemy forces in the Trentino region were being rein forced. NEW YORK VOTES TUESDAY (Continued From First Page.) sionist nor Democrat pays any atten tion to the others" 11-hour oooet, for, being old hands at the game, they know that these swan songs are Just part of the regulation before the bat tle ceremonies, but when Hillquit is sues a claim of election as brazen as either, they are Impressed. It !s as if children playing at Halloween mum mery, laughing at Aunt Jane and Uncle Bill's spook make-ups, which they pen etrate easily, should see a new ghost and be chilled by it. The old parties, like the children, know abstractly that all spooks are fakes, but an unfamiliar one has still the power to awe. New Recralta Swallow Promlsea. The old-line, standpat Socialists know that Hillquit's election, beyond giving them prestige, would work no magic, but the new recruits that have been brought into his fold by the high cost of living and their terror at the war, swallow every promise he has made and they have been plenty. If the Hillquit programme went through New York would spend 12,000,000.000 forthwith and its annual expenditure would be increased 1100.000,000. They believe that with Hillquit as Mayor the war would terminate at once, the tene ments would come down overnight and the terrified capitalists. Identified in their minds with the corner butcher shop and the pushcart markets, would cut the price of food to what it vat In Posen and Roumanla. while wages would soar and every one of them would have a home fronting the parks that would spring into being In every slum and ghetto. Bis Vote la Expected. Nobody knows what the Socialist vote will be. I have accepted the esti mates, made at the old party head quarters, of from 125.000 to 150.000 votes, which is a pretty big Jump from the 35,000 or 40,000 of ordinary elec tions, but with the new accessions of high cost of living converts, pro-Germans attracted by Hillquit's declara tions in favor of an immediate peace on their lines, and ordinary people dis gusted at the charges and counter charges of Mitchel and Hylan, all of which have enough basis of fact for election-day purpose, may bring his total above this figure. Anything over 200,000 would make Hillquit's election a real danger. I can find nobody in New York, outside of the actual Social ists, who think he will attain to any such figure, but few people are sure about It. Maaa Meeting Enormous. He addressed a meeting at Madison Square Garden that for numbers and enthusiasm equaled any rally the old meeting place has ever held. They had to close the doors early in the after noon and several hundred policemen were busy for the rest of .he day shooing away the late comers to pre vent their blocking the streets. This may not mean anything very serious, for the Socialist is the best mass meet ing fan in the business. Just the same, they spoke with chilled concern of this Hillquit meet ing at the fusion and Democratic head quarters. The alarm penetrated even to the pro-Germans, who this afternoon issued a circular calling on all the faithful to vote for Hylan. Interruption of political meetings is the rule In New York during this elec tion. Every speaker Is questioned; free fights are as common as soubrettes on Broadway, and the police are having the busiest times in their far-from-dull lives. The campaign is over now, but the wrangling will go on till the polls close on Tuesday. The political sharps say the drift is still from Hylan to Mitchel, and affect to see an increase in the rapidity of the Hillquit ebb. Still I think former esti mates can stand and Hylan's election by approximately 30,000 may be ex pected. The betting stands at 3 to 1, but there are no wild mobs waving money to place on either side.

Pit- BANK OF AILETTE REACHED Evacuation of Territory Evidently Made Hurriedly and Extent of Movement Not Vet Decided. Vantage Points. Gained. ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE. Nov. 4. (By the Associated Press.) The French advance in pur suit of the Germans beyond the Chemin des Dames has attained an average of a mile and a half, the southern bank of the Ailette being reached every where. Altogether since yesterday about 18 square miles of territory have fallen into French hands. Many points in the line were bom barded by the German big guns during the French advance, especially in the neighborhood of Ailles. Numerous mustard gas shells somewhat delayed the progress of the French troops. The French are displaying the great est prudence in their movements in con sequence of the frequency of the cav erns on the sides of the hills. As a result of this caution the troops first going forward discovered a number or traps for the unwary. In Cerny a steel helmet hung on a polo was on examina tion found to have an electric wire con nection running into a mine which would explode in the event of being snatched away. Point of Vantage Gained. At the present moment the French oc cupy every crest and possess the ob servatories above Craonne. Ailles. Cer ny and Courteon, while so far as can be made out the Germans have established their line on the other side of the Ailette. They destroyed every bridge over the Ailette as they retired. The German evacuation was discov ered on Friday when a patrol of chas seurs found one of the German front trenches empty and immediately gave the alarm. Other patrols advanced and found all the trenches empty antt a search of dozens of shelters and tun nels confirmed the departure of the Germans. It was evident that the German troops which occupied the front lines until the last moment received little warning of the order to retire as half cooked meals, still hot, were found in the saucepans. French Reorganise PoMltlon.- It is a remarkable coincidence that the same French troops which are fac ing the Germans on this occasion had occupied Lassigny when the Germans executed their retreat in March of this year. The entire position, which in a perfect honeycomb of shelters, was reorgan ized by the French during the course of the day and last night. It is uncertain whether the Germans Intend to retreat further, although many movements of the troops toward the north have been observed and it Is believed Laon has been evacuated by the civilian population. It is known that the Germans were busily engagea throughout the Summer in establish ing field work at a considerable dis tance in tha rear of their present position. RAILROADS ARE EFFICIENT Transportation of Second "Washing ton Infantry Is Proof. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 4. Efficiency of American railroads in handling troops was shown by the transporta tion of the Second Washington Infantry across the continent, according to a statement of tr.e railroads' war board made public here. Tl'.cse troops left Camp Lewis in five trains October 25. over seven railroads. They were mixed trains, carrying equipment. The five sections reached Mineola.
