ures to contribute to their relief.

efforts of the Germans to cross the
Piave River. Those of the enemy who
forced a crossing: at two points on pre
vious days are being: held in check,
the War Office announced today.
The enemy forces which effected a
crossing- at Zenson are being more
closely invested and those across the
river in the .marshy sector near the
coast are being checked and shelled.
Other enemy attacks were repulsed.

j. ne enemy nas intensified his ac
tion from. the Asiago zone to the Piave
Valley. On Tuesday night he attacked

ector and was resisted effectively.

repulsed along Meletta D'Avanti-Monte
J-ior-Monte Castellgoberto. lie repeat
ed his attempt during the evening with
large forces and greater violence, but
was again repulsed.
"Columns which were advan'jtng to
ward me iront between Prisone and
the confluence of the Brenta and Cis
mon rivers were caught under the fire
of our artillery and stopped. Large
forces engaged our advanced line be
tween the Cismon and Piave rivers.
At Monte Roncone the enemy was re
pulsed. At Monte Tomatico our ad
vanced posts withdrew after offering

shut in more closely at the Zenson
loop and withheld in the marshy sector
between the Piave and Vecchia-Piave,
where they are being shelled by our
batteries, with the aid of royal naval
artillery. .
"Yesterday our airships effectively
bombarded bridges on the Livenza and
Monticano rivers. Flying at a height
of a few hundred meters, they attacked
with machine-gun fire troops and col
umns on the march along roads in the
plain."
Aew Premier Well Received.
Great enthusiasm and patriotic feel
ing marked this afternoon's sitting of
the Italian Chamber of Deputies. Pro
fessor Vittorio Orlando, in his first
speech as Premier, struck the keynote
of his policy, namely, that the situation
called for acts rather than for words.

assistance being rendered by the en
tente allies to Italy, and expressed the
cordial gratitude of Italy to the "great
American republic, for her willing and
powerful aid."

allied supreme council .and a military
council. Professor Orlando announced

was carried without division amid
great enthusiasm.

EDISON PROPOSES
TO CONVERT SHIPS
PLuS IS TO MAKE SAILING VES
SELS STEAMERS.
Greater Speed, it Is Asserted,-Would
More Than Offset Cut in
Cargo Space.
WASHINGTON. Nov. lo. Conversion
of more than a millon tons of Ameri
can sailing vessels into steamships was
proposed to the Shipping Board today
by Thomas A. Edison.
Mr. Edison will go over details of his
plan with Rear-Admifal Capps. gen
eral manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation.
Although the placing of engines and
coal, bunkers In the ships would cut
down their cargo space, the superior
speed attained would more than make
up for the difference, in the opinion
of Mr. Edison. American sailing ves
sels are not now permitted to enter the
war zone as they are easy submarine
targets.
There are under American registry
more than 6000 sailing vessels of con
siderably more than 1,000.000 tonnage.
The Government also will have under
Its control soon some 400,000 tons' of
sailing shi-ps tnrned over by the French
government.
Henry Ford's automoblje plant at
Detroit, now largely engaged in man
ufacturing airplane cylinders, is about
to begin also the production of ship's
fittings. Mr. Ford called on the Ship
ping Board today and arranged to turn
out for the Government small parts
which his plant can produce in large
quantities.
POLES VIRTUALLY SLAVES
Disclosures Made in Advertisement
in German Paper.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 14. The con
dition of semi-slavery in which Polish
laborers in Germany are living is illus
trated by an advertisement appearing
In a recent issue of the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung offering to exchange 50 Polish
laborers, 20 men and 30 girls, for the
same number of other hands.
Apparently well authenticated re
ports tell of the deception of those re
cruited in Poland, both regarding wages
and the nature of employment. A re
cent interpellation in the Reichstag
dealt with the forcible deportation of
laborers from Poland to Germany.

his departure from Trinidad, before
leaving there, to American intervention,
adding that his visit was without politi

has declined a proffer of the adminis
tration of the new air ministry made
to him by Premier Lloyd-George.

to Invade Forests.
Ten thousand men will be put Into
the spruce forests of Oregon and
Washington at once to speed up pro
duction for . airplanes, and operations
will be pushed to the limit straight
through the Winter, in an endeavor to
produce 10.000,000 feet of spruce every
month. It Is believed at Washington,
L. C, that this must be done, or the
war will be prolongeal another season,
according to Colonel Brice P. Disque,
who reached Portland yesterday to
direct the work as ranking officer.
So important is this great task that
Secretary of War Baker, after hear
ing reports from Colonel Disque In

URGED TO ACTIVITY
SOLDI KIIS NEED SWEATERS AXD
SOCKS, SAYS REI CROSS.
Organization as Yet 1 Vnable
Supply Men in France With
.Much Needed Articles.
to
WASHINGTON. Nov. 15. An urgent
J-ppeal to the women or the country
for more knitted sweaters, socks and
wristlets for the soldiers and sailors
was issued tonight by the Red Cross
war council in a statement disclosing
that the Red Cross has been obliged
to buy half a million machine-made
sweaters to meet immediate demands.
"It is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wristlets and socks that pos
sibly can he made by the women of
the country should be turned Into the
supply department at the earliest pos
sible date. With cold weather coming,
the demand for sweaters especially has
been beyond the capacity of our re
sources to surply." says the statoment.
"We have forwarded promptly all
knitted articles received from the chap
ters and in addition have been com
pelled to buy In the market 500.000
sweaters, of which alm.ost 250.000 have
been delivered. These sweaters are ma
chine k n 1 1 and the yarn used is a mix
ture of cotton and wool, so It does
not withdraw and considerable amount
of yarn from the women knitters of
the Red Cross. We are buying all the
yarn we can obtain that is suitable
for knitters and sending it out to the
chapters as fast as we can get it. We
have received from the chapters about
200.000 sweaters, approximately the
same number of machine-made sweat
ers, all of which have been delivered
to the men in the camps and training
stations, with the exception of a
few thousands, which we have had to
send to France.
"The requests of our organization in
France for sweaters and knitted goods
had to remain unsatisfied on account
of our inability to secure enough for
men in our own Army and Navy. We
call upon the women to give us their
very best effort from now until at least
January 1, that we may be able to fur
nish our men with these comforts and
hare some to spare fr the dire needs
in France."
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. IS. (Spe

and Portland Red Cross chapters are
that The Oregonlan published a dis
patch this morning quoting Secretary
oi the .avy Daniels and Secretary of

sweaters are needed for Army and
Navy.
This is evidently a mistake, since the

received advices urging the production
of sweaters In large quantities through
