Austro-German. Forces Unable to

Effectively Bombard Enemy
Despite High Wind.
ROME, Nov. 19. With undiminished
intensity Austro-German forces today
attacked In the north between the
Piave and Brenta rivers, but their
efforts to pierce the Italian lines so
far have proved fruitless, reports from
Italian headquarters announced. The
enemy hurled heavy masses of infantry
into the line, but concentrations of
Italian artillery and Infantry success
fully checked the assaults.
The enemy has made no further at
tempts to cross the Piave River.
Anstrlao. Are Repulsed.
Repulse of the Austrians after a
portion of their forces had crossed
the Piave and their subsequent rout
in this sector was announced. In the
fiercest and most bloody fighting of
the war the Italians killed 1500 of the
enemy and captured 1500 more. Hard
ly one of those who succeeded in
crossing the river escaped.
On the front west of the Piave, south
of Quero, great numbers of Austro
German troops are delivering heavy
attacks. Attempts to break the Italian
resistance along the Monte Monfenera
and Monte Tomba lines have failed.
On the Asiago Plateau the Italian
forces have assumed the offensive and
have occupied advanced elements of
trenches.
Artillery la Active.
The War Office's statement today
reads:
"Last night there was lively artillery
activity between Lake Garda and the
Astlco.
"On the Asiago Plateau the enemy
made violent concentrations of fire on
our positions at Monte Tonberecar and
Monte Badenecche without following
up with an infantry attack. Our par
ties In new offensive operations reoccu
pied advanced elements of trenches,
capturing six officers and 202 men.
"South of Quero enemy forces In great
number are attacking our Monte Mon
fenera and Monte Tomba lines.
"On the plains the vigilance of our
troops has stopped the enemy from re
newing any attack whatsoever to cross
the Piave.
"Among our troops the following de
serve again to be specifically mentioned
for valor shown during these last days:
Bersaglleri battalions in the Fagare
zone and the Granotieri and Catania
brigades at the Zenson loop.
Airplanes Are Active.
"Enemy troops repeatedly were bom
barded In the course of the day by our
airplanes and In the night. In spite of
a strong wind, by our airships at the
basin of Primolano. to the northwest of
Susegana, and at Tehzedi Llvenza."
BERLIN, via London, Nov. 19. Quero
and Monte Cornelle. on the Northern
Italian front, have been taken by
storm and the Italians have been
driven from Monte Tomba, the War
Office announced today.
The announcement follows:
rvorineasi or Asiago the enemy
repeated his fruitless and costly attacks
to gain the lost heights. Between the
Brenta and the Piave the last few days
have brought the (Teutonic) allies
further successes in difficult mountain
fighting."
Italians Yield Slowly.
"In prepared and naturally strong
positions the Italians sought to dis
pute every foot of ground. They threw
freshly brought up forces against our
advancing troops, but were not equal
to the unconquerable offensive strength
of our infantry. Step by step, fighting
stubbornly, the enemy yielded- In par
ticularly desperate encounters Quero
and Monte Cornelle extending to the
northwest were taken by storm and
the enemy was driven from his strong
ly prepared positions on Monte Tomba.
The German storming troops and the
second Bosnia-Herzegovina infantry
regiment especially distinguished them
selves in this action. Eleven hundred
Italians fell Into our hands."

LONDON, Nov.- 19. The Globe prints
an Interview with Lord Northclifte in
which he says he will return to the

war mission after the allied confer
ences and a trip to the various fronts.
If the British government desires, he
will devote much of this time to the
question of aircraft production in the
United States, adding:
"My great fear is that the American
output will exceed the possibilities of
training officers and mechanics. Amer
icans are willing to make any type of
engine we ask, in addition to their own
Liberty engine.

AS QUITH STARTS BATTLE
Welsh Leader's Reply Charac
teristic Fighting Speech.
PARIS AOTION IS JUSTIFIED
Prime Minister Reaffirms Xecd of
Unity of Action In Prosecution
of War Some Blunders
Are Recalled.
LONDON, Nov. 19. President Lloyd
George defended himself in the House
of Commons this morning against the
first serious attack his administration
has faced, and so far as the Commons
is concerned his defense seemed highly
successful. The Prime Minister's ad
mirers call it a triumph.
The attack was focused upon two
points the character of the war coun
cil which the Premier announced in
Paris, and the condemnation of the
allies' past strategy which he pro
nounced in his Paris speech.
Ex-Premier Asqulth was spokes
man for the opposition. His speech
was not In the tone of an attack, but
a sharp criticism of the new plan for
allied control of the war and a vindi
cation of his own government. It was
keyed in a much milder strain than
the outburst from the newspapers and
sections of the Liberal and Conserv
ative parties which greeted the Pre
mler on his return home.
Reply Fighting Speech.
The Welsh leaders' reply was a char
acterlstlc fighting speech of the type
which has made him famous. There
was no thought of retraction for any
thing he had said or done, no hint of
an apologetic strain which some ex
pected for what had been called the
Paris indiscretion.
There were some pasages which
would have made old schol parliamen
tarians, steeped in Gladstonian trad!
tions of stately courtesy wince, as when
he said the attacks made him feel
as if he were crossing the Channel in
a storm on a small destroyer. But Mr.
Lloyd George always brings something
of the touch of the stump speaker into
the Commons and this gives him a
stronger appeal to the greater audience
outside.
The entire Cabinet sat beside him on
the front bench and a packed, silent
House of Commoners, Peers and others,
fortunate enough to - obtain gallery
seats, bent forward for every word.
The man whose mantle he had assumed
faced him across a space of a few feet
with a gilded mace between them. Al
though they addressed each other
deferentially as "My Honorable Friend
sentences passed which to those who
know recent history seemed meant to

Mr. Asquith's criticism was based on
two grounds, that the new war council

Fund! Many Cities Report
Quotas Are Exceeded.
Portland and Oregon have substan
tially oversubscribed their quotas -to
the T. M. C. A. war fund drive, main
taining the high standard set at every
previous call for patriotic service in
men or dollars. Yesterday marked the
triumphant conclusion.
Yesterday at noon the big red tri
angle cluck at. Sixth and Alder streets
whirled past its original quota and
rested at $208,000. Some days ago,
when it became apparent that the city's
generosity was not to be satisfied by
the quota, a new Quota, of $300,000 was
set. It is predicted that the local drlvo
will carry well toward this when the
final figures are known.
State Gives Generously.
As for Oregon, there is nothing but
smiling confidence evident in state
headquarters circles. A total of $122.
021 was compiled late yesterday. As
report after report of oversubscribed
quotas come in from the outside dis
tricts the grin broadens. Many towns
have voluntarily set themselves new
quotas and have filled them. Definite
figures for the state will not be had
for two or three days, as many distant
districts must report before the final
tally:
It is certain, however, in the opinion
of state headquarters workers, that
Oregon, outside of Portland, will large
ly oversubscribe its quota of $100,000.
Opinions vary as to how much the sur
plus will be, but it is believed that the
state will exceed $150,000, if the ratio
of yesterday's returns is maintained.

BELGIUM'S AUTHORITATIVE
STORY TO START IX THE
OREGON I AX NEXT
FRIDAY.
Up to late Summer in 1911
Hugh Gibson, as secretary of the
United States Legation at Brus
s e 1 s, Bel-
, consid
ered that he
had a "quiet
post." There
was work
enough to
keep a man
from growing
stale, but also
there was
time to play.
Altogetherhis
was rather a
prosaic task,
or series of
tasks. Then,
with scarcely
a warning,
Hugh Glbsoa.
Europe's roof fell in. What hap
pened in Belgium and to Bel
glum and the Belgians thereafter
constituted the most tragic chain
ern people. In the name of Kul- 4
tur the Kaiser's cohorts began
stalking through the land, and
wherever they stalked there was J
left a train of death and ruin.
Hugh Gibson saw and sensed it
all and he started a diary.
Therein he set down the things
that happened from day to day.
They were things that would
have been unbelievable up to
that time, constituting as they
did a record of aggression and
savagery unparalleled.
Mr. Gibson said nothing and
made nothing public then con
cerning the events that he was
recording in his diary! because
he was the representative of a
neutral government. Now the
case Is different. The United
States is one of the powers fight
ing against German autocracy,
and Mr. Gibson is at liberty to
tell the authoritative story of
Belgium's ruin. He has done this
in a book entitled "A Journal
From Our Legation in Bel-
glum." It is a work of absorbing
Interest. It is to be printed se
