Rome, Nov. 6—The Germans have crossed the Tagliamento river, the war 4 office announces. The Austro-German pressure against the Italian northern wing has been intensified. After their fretreat from the Isonzo in consequence of the Austro-German offensive, the Italians took up posi- tions along u\L west bank of the Tag- lamento river, which runs across the ~ rtheast tip of Italy from the Alps to the sea and offers a natural line of defense /from the plains of northern Italy. This }ine is shorter’ than the old one and apparently was more practicable for defensive purposes, but it is not certain that the Italian com- mander, Gen. Cadorna intended to hold it, as he may not have had suf- ficlent time to organize it, electing merely to defend it while preparing another line further back. Pinzano is on the ndrthern edge of the plain in the foothills of the Alps. It is about 40 miles north of the Adriatic. “On Baturday night and Sunday our sirplanes and airships effectively bombed hostile troops in. the basins of Caporetto snd Tol and along the left bank of the Tag! On Saturday in addition to the two ma- chines mentioned yesterday, our avia- .tors brought down three enemy -air- planes. One fell in the vicinity of Caldonasso and the other two near | the lagoon at Grado,” says the official statement from Rome. ' Bertin statement.

Spellacy today turned over to the postal au- thorities letters which had been sent out from this city to persons in Wal- lingford purporting to have been sent by the government and informing the recipients that under a certain section | of the national defense act, govern- ment inspectors would be in Walling- ford shortly to commandeer a part of the canned goods in the households and a part of the crops raised during the summer. The name ‘“Herbert Hoover” was signed to the letters. It is charged that the letter was a pilece of “vicious and insidious propaganda’ and that the use by the writers of the letter of the name “Herbert Hoover” constituted forgery. A rigid investigation is to be made in an effort to run down the perpetra- tors ‘of the scheme.

Underwood of the Erie. ‘When in May the American car- riers asked for a 15 per cent rate in- crease they estimated the war time prices of labor and materials would increase thejr operating charges by $235,000,000. Later compilations, presented today, indicate an increase of $270,000,000, based on the 1914 volume of business, while increased revenues from rate advances since the first of the year total $97,000,000. The increased operating charges are .ap-’ portloned as follows: Coal, $78,000,- 000; wages, $102,000,000; materials, $90,000,000. i R Mr. Patterson, for the declared that while gross ent year had risen $123,789,000, a 1 of $57,291,000 resulted from a cor- expenses.

In addition to the wage advances granted tralnmen under the terms of the Adamson law, Mr. Rea pointed .out that the increased cost of labor had swollen the payrolls of the Penn- sylvania $13,900,000 a year, inclusive ot increases given the trainmen. In spite of these wage increases the roads are meeting with constant dif- | ficulty in retaining workers, Mr. Rea declared.
