by cable.
ROME. Xov. 20. The repulse of an
Austrian attack in force in Albania Is
announcc-d by the War Office. The
statement follows:
"On the Lower Voyusa River at dawn
Runday the enemy attacked in force
the Giflik-Idris bridgehead. After brisk

ing in our hands an officer and some
men."
I T A t. I A N HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Monday. Nov. 19.
(By the Associated Press.) The en
emy i3 concentrating his attack on the
north and very heavy fighting is. in
progress routh of Quero, where large
enemy masses are attacking the Italian
position on Monte Tenera and Monte
Tomba.
Invader Raise Five Flag.
Information is trickling across the
Piave from the Italians in Eastern Ve
netia, now overrun by the enemy. Em
peror Charles of Austria-Hungary, it
is said, has visited Gorizia and Udlne
and King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has
passed through Gradisca and Palma-
nova.
The garrison at Udlne, the former
Italian headquarters, made' up of Turk
ish soldiers, is using the Church of
fe'anta Maria as one of its barracks. On
the Citadel of, Udine the invaders have
raised five flags Austrian, German, '
Bulgarian, Turkish and Greek. The
last flag represents the Greek division
which went over to the Bulgarians at
Kavala and Fort Rupel and "which
oine reports put among the enemy
divisions operating on the Italian
front.
Early in September, 1916, the fourth
Greek army corps, with headquarters
at Kavala, surrendered to the Bul
garians. Its strength was reported to
be 2ri,000 men and these were later
transported to Germany.
Italian Are Congratulated.
The correspondent today made a tour
of 30 miles along the Piave battlefront,
visiting Zenson. Fagare and the Sega
mill, where desperate fighting has oc
curred and saw the Duke of Aosta, com
mander of the Third Army guarding
the Piave line, whose men hurled the
Austrians into the river and , re-es
tablished the solidarity of the Piave
front. At the moment the Duke was
issuing an address to his army con
gratulating them on their glorious
achievement.
An officer from general staff head
quarters accompanied the correspon
dent and although the headquarters of
the Third Army was reached at an
early hour, the Duke was coming out
to proceed along the front. He held in
his hand a war map which he con
suiien with nis aides before giving
directions for the route to be traveled.
It was a striking picture as the Duke
stood there studying the map. He is
tall, of athletic build, with gray hair
and moustache and face bronzed by
exposure. He wore the service uniform
oi nign command, witn Boots, spurs
and a great coat edged with black fur.
He acknowledged cordially the salutes
of the correspondent's party and
Colonel of his staff explained condi
tions along the line.
Eormy lu Thrown Back.
"everywhere, the Colonel said, the
enemy had been thrown back except
at the brink of the river at Zenson
where a few men were huddled in the
bushes unable to go forward or back
ward and were, being slowly cut to
pieces. At Fagare, Folina and the Sega
mill the rout of the enemy was com
plete, being ''accomplished in fearful
hand-to-hand fighting on Friday night
and Saturday. This confirmed previous
information and added permanency to
the effects obtained.
The officer procured a copy of the
Duke's address, to. his men. It Is an
inspiring document, breathing encour
agement and confidence. It said in
part:
Duke AddreMfM Men.
, "Soldiers of the Third Army: The
enemy has attempted to pass our de
fenses on the Piave, but his audacity
has met with defeat before your heroic
lines and he is driven back, leaving in
our hands a great number of prisoners
and machine guns. My soldiers, your
commander greets you at the moment
of this glorious exploit and conveys to
you the grateful acknowledgment of
the country. .With you rests the vic
tory. With all our hearts we join our
efforts for the country, for liberty."
The tour along ;he front took the
party to the very centers of the hardest
fighting and along the edge'of. the
inundated region, where the country
side was transformed suddenly into a

Address of Secretary of Labor Be
fore California Civic League De
voted to "Industrial tnrest."
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. Patriot
ism must be neutral in that it must be
shown not alone by the employes, but
also by the employers, was the opinion
of Secretary of Labor William B. Wil
son expressed in an address here today
before the San Francisco Center of the
California Civic League.
Secretary Wilson is here at the head
of President Wilson's mediation com
mission, which is attempting to settle
industrial unrest in the. West.
"Industrial unrest is not necessarily
the expression of thworkers' disloy
alty," continued the Secretary. In
many cases it is induced by the fact
that the employes see the employers
athering In mpst of the 'swag.' and
sk for a fair division. One remedy of
curing this is to remove the source
to see that there is no 'swag' to divide.
"The boys in the trenches are making
the supreme sacrifice. But the wage-
earners who have not been granted any
increase since the inception of the war
are also bearing their part of the
sacrifice. Thus far I have seen no sac
rifice in industrial enterprise. I hope
we shall never see the time when we
shall be compelled to utilize women in
positions for which they are physically
unfit, as England has been compelled
to do.
"The great necessity today Is not
mobilization of labor alone, but it Is
also the mobility of labor. We must
be able to shift workmen at short no
tice from industries which are not nec
essary to the war to those that are
essential to the conflict.
"Perhaps the greatest reason of the
labor troubles of the present can be
found in the fact that prices of food
stuffs have risen 43 per cent since Sep
tember, 1914, with corresponding ad
vances in other necessaries."
I. W. W. ROUND-UP ORDERED

BEND PLANT SEEKS MOTOR
Five Months' Delay May Be Caused
Unless Engine Can Be Found.
BEND. Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) In
ability to obtain a motor with which to
drive the machinery is delaying the
installation of a fourth bandsaw in the
Shevlin-Hixon mill here, according to
F. P. Hixon, of La Crosse, president
of the .company, who Is here today
with E. L. Carpenter, vice-president.
The whole country has been scoured
for the nuroose of finding even a second-hand
motor, but so far without re

the band will not be put In for five
months. The capacity of the plant will

Ship Timber to Be
Sent to Atlantic.
GOVERNMENT PROVIDES CARS
Forty Million Feet of Lumber Is
, Called For.
RICES NOT MADE PUBLIC
Orders Placed With Oregon and
Washington Mills Because of
Their Proved Ability to De
liver in Contract Time.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 20. (Special.) Oregon
and Washington lumber mills, under
contract today, signed by the Shipping
Board, will furnish approximately 40,
000,000 feet of big ship timbers to wood
shipyards along the Atlantic and Gulf
Coast from Maine to Texas. This Doug-
flas fir contract is to be apportioned
among the mills from two states that
are In position to get out keel and
other large timbers promptly. The
Government agrees to furnish cars as
needed.
The prices to be paid for these big
timbers were agreed to by the Ship
ping Board, but they are not an
nounced, the prices varying with the
size of the timbers. But is is known
that the prices which Pacific Coast
mills have quoted for delivery at East
em shipyards average $8 per thousand
less than Southern mills quoted on pine
timbers of corresponding sizes f. o. b.
their mills.
Miss Prices Quoted Sooth.
The Southern lumbermen, it is known
quoted prices at their mills, and not
prices delivered at the shipyards, so
the differential is much greater than
iS per thousand, as the price on Doug
las fir includes the full cost of what
would be practically 25 per thousand
on shipments to Atlantic Coast points.
Another fact of Importance is tha
the Southern mills which have taken
contracts for these large ship timbers
have largely fallen down, and It was
because of their failure that resor
was taken to the mills of the Pacific
Coast, which have shown their ability
to make deliveries In contract time
Delivery of these big timbers Is to
be concluded within 100 days.
The orders just placed do not in
elude small ship lumber such as plank
Ing, decking and finish. That class
lumber for Eastern and Southern yard
is being furnished with reasonable sat
isfaction by Southern mills which now
have Government contracts.
Further Orders Kxpected.
It
is likely, however, that further
orders for ship timber will later be
placed by the Shipping Board with the
mills of Oregon and Washington and
especially for yards on the Atlantic
Coast.
Under orders issued today by the

Mother Falters in Purpose of Ad
ministering Slow and Eusy
Death to Sufferer.
- O
CHICAGO. Nov. 20.- - d -
fight rages about the era a utaining
the misshapen and suffering little form
of baby Hodzima out on North May
street. And the battle hinges on the
question of whether the child's mother
will be allowed to administer slow
nd easy death to her oifspring. accord-
ng to the plans of Dr. Harry J. Haisel-
den, or whether the baby will be
clutched back from the grave to a life
of suffering.
"Mrs. Hodzima has received so many
letters telling her she will be guilty
of child murder If she follows my In
structions," said Dr. Haiselden, "that
she falters in her purpose.
'I had planned to bring the child to
the German-American Hospital today
or tomorrow for the purpose of treat
ing it there, probably operating on it,
if the mother refused to carry out my
treatment, but Mrs. Hodzima does not
know whether she will allow this or
not. The baby may be consigned to an
ndefinite life of suffering by the mis
taken and ignorant views of those who
have failed to keep . step with the
times." .
Dr. Haiselden said today he had re
ceived hundreds of letters from . per
sons suffering from incurable and
painful maladies asking that ,he put
them out of their misery.

Official delegations from both
Russia and Japan were Portland
visitors yesterday. Each brought
assurances of the utmost good

the Japanese party included two
