ALLIES’ TROOPS RUSHED TO ITALY

Trainloads of French and British Pass Through Nice Going to the Front. LINE HOLDS, ASSERTS ROME Italian Forces Have Defeated Renewed Efforts of Germans to Cross the Piave River—Berlin Reports Gain. Washington, Nov. 16.—From Nice comes a report that trainloads of French and British troops are rolling constantly through that place on their way from France into Italy and are greeted with great popular enthusiasm. General Fayolle will command the French armies now being sent to Italy, according to an announcement made here. General Foch, the chief of the French staff, is only temporarily in command of the French forces. Line Holds, Says Rome. Rome, Nov. 16.—The Italians have defeated renewed efforts of the Germans to cross the Piave river. Those of the enemy who forced a crossing at two points on previous days are being held in check, the war office announced. 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. In the mountains in the north the Italians have made a further withdrawal. The advanced posts at Monte Tomatico, south of Feltre, were drawn back to positions previously determined. Berlin Claims Advance. Berlin, Nov. 16. —German troops on the mountain front in northern Italy are advancing to the south from Fonzaso and Feltre, says the official communication. No- change is reported along the lower Piave river. Guns in Intense Duel. Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Nov. 16. —Under the escort of a staff officer from headquarters the correspondent made a tour along 30 miles of the Piave battle front while a terrific artillery fire was in progress on both banks of the river, and the whole ordinarily peaceful valley was transformed into a blazing inferno. From a suitable observation point the view led across the river to the positions occupied by Gen. von Buelow’s German troops, who had occupied the town of Vidor, over which hung a huge German balloon. Big Bridge in Ruins. An abandoned warehouse on the bank of the Piave river farther down afforded a view of a massive bridge with the two middle spans blown up and of the great pall of smoke hanging over Zenson and the Island of Grave, where the enemy had crossed the river, but were still held back on the river’s edge by the fierce counter attacks of the Italians. j All along the lower stretch of* the river the bombardment was continuous and the whole countryside, stricken under the fire, was fleeing from the terrain within the range of the guns. The Italian lines were holding well at all points, and everything indicated the thoroughness of the concentration that had been effected by the army along the newttlines. In the new trenches along the river bank and among the columns advancing along the roads the men displayed the best of spirits and evidenced their determination to hold the Piave line.

FRENCH RAID IS SUCCESSFUL

Paris Says Nurwoer of Prisoners Were Captured Near Aillette. Paris, Nov., 16.—The official war report says that French reconnoitering parties near Aillette took prisoners. A bombardment- in the region of Caurieres (Verdun front) was the only activity. London, Nov. 16. —Marshal Haig’s report from Flanders reads: •‘Hostile reconnoitering parties endeavored to approach our lines in the neighborhood of Polderhoek wood, nqrth of the Menin road, but were driven off, with loss of prisoners and killed. Berlin, Nov. 16.—Owing to .mist and fog the artillery activity in Flanders was moderate, says the army headquarters report, but it became more intense in the evening near Dixmude. In successful reconnoitering engagements prisoners and machine guns were captured.

FLEET FOR U. S. IN 30 DAYS

Edison Suggests Engines Be Installed in Sailing Ships. Washington. Nov. 16. —Thomas A. Edison, chairman of the naval consulting board, and Henry Ford went to Chairman Hurley of the shipping board with suggestions for providing an emergency fleet of steamers almost overnight. Mr. Edison suggested the government take over all American sailing vessels and convert them into twihscrOw steamers, wherever practicable. It was said many could be converted within thirty days. Mr. Ford offered to turn his automobile plant over to the shipping board for any use desired. It was said he might be able to supply enough parts for the machinery of all vessels converted according to Mr. Edison’s idea.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

RAIL CRISIS ENDED

PRESIDENT WILL MAKE PAY SETTLEMENT WITH WORKERS. Wilson Authorized by the Brotherhoods to Offer Plan Which Men Wil! Accept I Washington, Nov. 16. —That there will be no railway strike or serious differences between the railway employees and the railways appears certain. President Wilson has been authorized, in effect, by the representatives of the brotherhoods to offer a plan of settlement as' to wages, which the brotherhoods will accept. It is understood that the president will insist that the men shall compose their difficulties through mediation and that he inclined to favor the enactment of a law for compulsory arbitration of railroad disputes during the war period. The attitude of the brotherhoods is entire y satisfactory to the administration, although President Wilson had hoped that the officials of the brotherhoods would go as far as the railroad presidents in agreeing to mediation and arbitration. It became known that the officials of the brotherhoods had signed an agreement with Judge Chambers of the board of mediation and conciliation agreeing to mediation, but rejecting arbitration. The railway presidents, on the other hand, agreed with Judge Chambers to abide by arbitration. That the brotherhoods should be less disposed to accept this principle has had the effect on the administration of reviving bills proposed in the last session to govern such a contingency.

Germany’s leading aviator. expresses himself as unconcerned over the reported preparation to place 20,000 American aviators on the weste: n front. He believes it will be impossible to get together that many trained pilots as the training is long and costly, and involves heavy casualties. The newcomers, he says, particularly at first, “will be unable to judge the military conditions and at least 25 per cent of the Machines will be disabled during the long transport.”

ELMER DWIGGINS IS ARRESTED

(Continued from page one)

of Dwiggins, who was general agency manager in this city of a i western Wife insurance company, w'hich revealed that he had sold SBIO,OOO worth of Liberty bonds on the installment plan on which $300,000 had been paid. The police say that they found $35,000 in a safe deposit vault, and considerable money and five SIOO Liberty bonds in a safe in the. raided office. Eighty complainants against Dwiggins declared they paid him $96,000 in cash. The federal authorities declare that they know of- $57,000 which Dwiggins should have turned over to the federal reserve bank for the account of the Liberty bonds. Hundreds of persons who had bought bonds through Dwiggins on the “dollar down and a dollar a week” plan stormed his office hoping to get their money back or to obtain the bonds on which they had made payments. Dwiggins claimed to have beer working the sale of bonds undei direction of the Bankers' Life com pany of Des Moines, but this was repudiated in a statement made by the federal reserve bank, which de dared he was not authorized to soi'icif* subscriptions to the, Liberty loan. The statement adds: “The federal reserve bank, the United States attorney’s office and the postoffice inspectors are all cooperating to conserve the assets for the benefit of the members of the so-called ‘Liberty loan extension club,’ and are also conducting further inquiries to ascertain the responsibilty in the matter of the Bankers’ Life Insurance company. “I. M. Earle, vice-president and general counsel of the Bankers’ Life Insurance company, who arrived here tonight from Des Moines, lowa, intimated there is a possibility that the company may make good the money paid to Dwiggins by investors in bonds. He said such a step would be ‘up to the directors.’ “In the first loan,’’ Mr. Earle said, “we accepted a degree of responsibility <for Dwiggins, authorizing him to accept subscriptions for the Liberty bonds. We tried to push the loan as hard as we could in al! our offices, apd in this loan an examination of the stationery shows that he used the name of Bankers Life, representing that the company was behind him. We knew absolutely nothing of this second venture of his when the campaign for the second loan started. The first thing we knew of it was when the federal reserve bank wrote us on October 27.”
