VOL. LIX.—NO. 383 POPULATION 29, NORWICH, CONN., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 191; PERIL OF ITALIAN TROOPS AT AN END Large Numbers of British and French Troops Have Arrived on the Piave Line '8 DAYS REINFORCEMENTS MARCHED TO RESCUE The Entente Forces Have Brought With Them Large Numbers of Guns and Huge Supply Trains—They Are Declared to be Eager to Test Their Strength Against the Teutonic Invaders—The British Troops Before Cambrai Are Holding the Bourlon Positions to the West of the Rail- road City—In Palestine the British Are Within Three and a Half Miles of the City of Jerusalem. Apparently the peril of the Italian troops guarding the Piave line and the hill country in northern Italy against the Teutonic allies is at an Large rumbers of British and French reinforcements—infantry and artillery—a+ last have arrived upon | the scene, after days of anxious wait- ing in which the Italians have borne the brunt of terrific fighting on both fronts solely on their own shoulders and kept back the enemy from a fur- ther invasion of the Venetian plain. Although faced everywhere by su- | perior numbers of men and gun power, the Italians have valiantly defended every foot of ground. in the hills and along the Piave, and in the former re- gion in recent days actually have taken the offensive against the invad- ers and pushed them back from strate- gic points of vantage they had gained under terrific sacrifices in lives. For eight days the reinforcements marched to the rescue, bringing along with them large numbers of guns and huge supply trains. All the troops are de- clared to be in fine fettle and eager to test their strength against the enemy. Just where the British and French forces will be thrown into the fray has not been made known. but doubtless large numbers of them will be used to etrengthen the Italian front on the north from Lake Garda eastward to the Piave, where the Austro-Germans have been making their strongest ef- forts to pierce alian line. At las counts Byng’s British troops before Cambrai were holding in their entirety the Bourlon positions west of Cambrai. Since their repulse of Sunday the Germans have failed to renew their counter-attacks. Only minor operations have taken place on any of the sectors of the wide front where Byng’s men last week carried out their swift and spectacular opera- tion which resulted in the smashing of the famous Hindenburg line. Along the Chemin des Dames and in the Verdun regfon violent artillery duels are in progress between the French and the Germans. In the lat- ter sector the Germans several times essayed attacks with the purpose of recapturing ground taken from them Sunday, but met with repulse. This ground, which is situated to the morth of the famous HIll 344, for the posses- sion of which so many sanguinary battles have béen fought, is in the process of consolidation by General Petain's men. Daily the operations of the British having for their purpose the invest- ment of Jerusalem are being pushed forward. " Southwest and west of the city British cavalry have taken re- spectively Bittir Station and Ain Karim, six miles and three and a half miles ' from the city's \gates. Jusd outside the city to the ‘west and to the north strong contingents of Turks are gathered to oppose a further ad- vonce. To the northeast, on the Mediterra- nean co:st, advanced patrols of the British four miles north of Jaffa have been forced to give ground before a Turkish attack CONTROLS ‘A HERD OF MORE THAN 650,000 COWS. Dairymen’s League Which Supplies Milk to New York City. New York, Nov. 26.—The Dairymen’s league supplies approximately one- half of the milk furnished New York city and controls a herd of more than 650,000 cows, R. D. Cooper, president of the organization, testified here to- day before the hearing of the milk commiesion named by Federal Food Administrator Hoover to investigate the price and supply of milk in New York city. The league bas been in operation more than ten years, Mr. Cooper tes- tified, and embraces a territory which borders Connecticut, the eastern sec- tion of Massachusetts, the Rutland road of Vermont and the dairy sec- tions of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He said the league has more than 850 distribation points, from which are supplied between 60,- 000 and 70.000 cans of milk daily. ALCOHOLIC CONTENTS OF BEER TO BE REDUCED To Three Per Cent. by Order of the Food Administration. 27.—Orders re- Washinston, Nov. ducing the alcohoiic contents of beer to three per cent --ill be issued soon by the food adininistration with the approval of President Wilson. At the same time the amount of grain used by brewers will be cut down approxi- mately thirty per cent, although the volume of beer will not be decreased. In making th# anncuncement to- night the food administration points out that since there is in the coun- try a two or three years supply of whiskey, it is undesirable a® the pres- ent time to stop entirely the brewing of beer because of the possibility of driving the people to whiskey drink- ing. The so-ial question involved, it is declared t be given equal con- sideration with that of food conser- vation. HARVARD N REVIEWED GN SOLDIERS Therc Are Nearly 4,000 Students Under Military Training.

INSURANCE WUNDER THE TRADING WITH ENEMY LAW Will Prevent All German Companies, Except Life, Doing Business Here Washington, Nov. 26. — Secretary McAdoo today decided that under the tradihg with the enemy law, the bus- iness of all insurance companies in- corporated in Germany or “ally of enemy countries” is to be liquidated, with the exception of life insurance mpanies, which are allowed to con- tinue existing contracts. Secretary McAdoo announced his. decision as follow: “Upon careful weighing of the evi- dence submitted, 1 have reached the conclusion that the safety of the Tnited States requires that 'enemy and ally of enemy .marine, fire and casualty insurance companies shall not be allowed to do business as go- ing concerns. The consideration of safety is so important as to render it unnecessary to determine at this time whether this action is also demanded by other considerations incident to the successful prosecution of the war. “In these circumstances, I am con- vincea that the best interests of the country will be served by the liquida- tion of these companies.” 14 Companies Affected in Tex Austin, Texas, Nov. 26.—Fourteen alien insurance companies doifg bus- iness in Texas will be affected by the order of Secdetary McAdoo.

Washington, Nov. 26. — Osmond Kelly Ingram, of Pratt City, Ala., the zunner’s maté lost overboard when a German submarine agtacked the American destroyer Cassin in the war zone on October 16, deliberately sac- rificed his own life, to reduce the risk to his messmates. A detailed report from Admiral Sims, made public today, shows that Ingram, standing aft on the destroyer where some hich explosive depth charges were stored, saw the torpedo coming. Instead of rushing forward to save his own life by getting away from the explosion, Ingram stuck to the spot, throwing overboard the high explosives, which he knew would fur- ther endanger the lives of his fellows if they were detonoted by the ex- plosion of the torpedo. He was the only man lost, being blown overboard by the explosion. The Cassin got in under her own steam, and the gallantry of her crew in effecting temporary repairs was commended by Admiral Sims in a special report.

MORE GUARDS FOR NEW YORK PIERS Ordered Placed at the Chelsea and Southern Pacific Docks. Washington, Nov. 26.—Orders for placing military suards at the Chelsea and Southern Pacific piers in New York harbor went to the commander of the eastern department today from Secretary Baker. This is in line with the plan for using troops to enforce the alien ememy proclamation along important waterfronts. The military patrol will be extended to other points on the New York waterfront as rapidly as the places to be guarded in this way are determined. Regulars probably will be used for th present until the proposed new fedeal police force of a semi-military char- acter can be substituted. Brigadier General Carter, in charge of the army’s participation in the en- forcement of the alien enemy law, ex- plained today that the soldiers would be posted in front of the piers only and that police, watchmen and other civilian guards would continue _ to guard the piers themselves. e troops ‘will be instructed to keep en- emy aliens of other persons without proper credentials from passing through their lines or from coming within 100 yards of the entrance of the piers. THE RUSSIAN ARMIES ARE WITHOUT FOOD Hungry Hordes of Soldiers Are In- vading the Centers of Population London, Nov. 26.—A _despatch to Reuter's 'Limtted ~from Petrograd dated November 21 says: “The commanders at the front con- tinue to send in most ominous des- patches concerning the exhaustion of supplies and reports of forthcoming hungry hordes of soldiers invading. the centers of population.” A despatch to the Exchange Tele- sraph from Copenhagen gives similar Teports. It says advices received from Russia describe the situation as more desperate than ever and assert that the country is on the verge of a bloody civil war. According to this despatch the Rus- sian newspaper Volka Marodna as- serts that the Russian armies on the northern front have for several days been without food and that soldiers daily are leaving the front in hun- dreds or are dying in the trenches from cold and hunger. The newspaper 2dds that mutinies due to hunger have broken out on several parts .of the line. COST OF WAR FOR . THE SECOND YEAR Will Be About the Same.as the First for the United 'States. ‘Washington, Nov. 26.—The second year of the war will cost the United States about the same as the first, according to estimated expenditures prepared today at the treasury de- or fhe, flecal year beginatig mest or July 1, originally disbursements not including loans to allies or interest on bonds yet to be authorized, are es- timated at $12,701,000,000, as compared with $12,316,000,000 for ihe current year ending June 30, 1918.

Secretary alrealy has announced that about $10,000,000 will have to be provided by issuance of bonds or treasury cer- tificates between now ana June 30 to Federal Operation of the Railroads | DURING WAR LOOMING UP AS| A POSSIBILITY IF POOLING PLAN FAILS! Vice Presidents of Eastern Lines Are Working With Members of Railroad Board on Details for a General Pool- ing of the ‘Washington,. Nov. 26.—Government operation of the railroads during the war loomed as an increasing po bility today in the minds of offic: who, with the railroad heads, are tr: ing 'to work out a plan for relief of the eastern traffic situation. Appar- ently it is conceded that if the poolin system about to be undertakes by the railroads themselves does not solve the problem, the government will take over the operation of the roads as one sys- tem. At: Work on Pooling Details. Vice presidents of the eastern lines met here today with members of the railroad board and worked on details for a general péoling in the east of as much trackage and equipment as is considered practicable. They named a_committee to be put in full char® of the pool, with A. W. Thompson, vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio, as chairman. Other members are C. R. Gray, president of the West- ern Maryland: A. T. Dice, president of ihe Philadelphia and Reading: P. E. Crowley, vice president of the Neaw York Central; Elisha Lee, acting vice president of the Pennsyivania lines east; G. L. Peck, vice president of the Pennsyivania lines west, and A. J. Stone, vice president of the Frie. The committee will establish head- quarters in Pittsburgh and _will sit continuously until the present conges- tion is cleared. Its first meeting will be held there Wednesday. What Pooling Plan Calls For. The pooling plan calls for a joint use of tracks, locomotives, cars and em- ployes in the congested centers. It will mot be permitted to go so far, even the railroad heads admit. as to threaten the revenues of any lines. and this is the point advocates of government - eration emphasize as illustrating the need for government operation. Under government _supervision the roads could pool their profits, which, under present circumstances, would consti- tute a_violation of the anti-trust act. All Lines as.One System. A pooling of profits would permit of an actual operation of all lines as one system and it would make little differ- ence whether one particular property paid if the roads as a whole were making money. - Goyernment operation along the lines. contemplated by officials in favor of it would not take the actual operations from the hands of those in charge of the roads. A railroad administrator, if {named by the president, would be a leading railroad man. and no changes would be made in_the management of individual lines. But the railroad ds ministrator, clothed with the powers of the zovernment. could take meas- ures which the failroad war board fears to take because of the nature of Ithe anti-trust laws. such as the elim- ination of economic waste due to par- allel lines. If government operation _appears wise, special lezislation may be, asked of congress although sotme officials think the president has ample powfrs now under the defense act.
