HEADQUARTERS,. AMERICAN
FORCES IN FRANCE, Nov. 19.—
General Pershing commanding the
American forces in France spent the
da> in visiting his •soldiers and in
specting their first line of trenches
and from the rear of their support
ing line was able to witness the ac
tive artillery fighting at close hand.
These troops are maintaining a
night patrol as a precautionary
measure and for the purpose of
cutting off any two ver.tursome Ger
man soldiers who may wonder with
their zone. It was this patrol who
shot and killed the i-oldiers men
tioned in dispatches recently as
having refuted to halt at the sentry’s
command. The Germans are firing
over a considerable number of gas
bombs which to date have accomp
lished very little damage.
General Pershing expressed him
self as exceedingly well pleased with
the results of his inspection and
with the progress being made by
the American troops against the
day when they are to receive their
baptism of fire. It is said that
heavy gun fire from the American
forces is beginning to score with
telling effect upon the enemy's
lines. French officers are loud in
the commendation of the behavior
of the American soldiers, especi
ally commending the rapidity of
their delivery, pointing that it is
much more deadly than the more
thoroughly trained fire of the
enemy.
You'll see it first in the Worker.
TURKS ARE FLEEING
IN WILD PANIC
GENEVA, Nov. 19.—From other
than English military sources the
news reaches this city that the civil
population of Turkey is in great
alarm over the steady continued
advance of the British troops who
are momentarily expected to cap
ture and occupy the ancient Biblical
city of Jerui-alem. These develop
ments have likewise thrown the
statesmen and political leaders into
turmoil culminating in loud mani
festations of unrest in Constantin
ople. It is believed that the fall of
Jerusalem will put the people in a
state antagonistic to the present re
gime anil is likely to remit in the
complete overturning of the present
Turkish government and the seat
ing of Enver Pasha who is backed
by the Young Turkish Party. Cer
tain it is that the continued over
whelming defeats being suffered by
the Turkish rrmics will result in
a political upheaval if not in civil
war. A peace with’ Turkey may be
accomplished which would relieve
the bulk of the British forces who
might early be thrown into the
service on the Italian defensive in
Northern Italy. Moreover it is
thought by students of military
matters that such an outcome
would be to permanently solve
England’s problem to prevent Ger
many ever having an eastern outlet
to the orient, and thus becoming a
troublesome competitor of England
for the rich trade of Asia and the
island^ to the southward.

JAPAN’S PART IN
WAR EXAMINED
PARIS, Nov. 18.—M. Clemeu
ceau anticipates results from the
Japanese miisicn to Washington.
Meanwhile, he reviews facts regard
ing Japanese participation in the
war. His article appearing in a re
cent issue of l’Homme Enchainei
ts as follows: One cannot refer to
the declaration of war or. Germany,
made by China, without the idea
of Japan presenting itself, and 1
lee.lly can think of but one question
to ask: “What Jo the Japanese in
tend to do? An extraordinary ques
tion, assuredly, concerning a peo
ple who will tell you at any time
that they are at war with the Ger
mans just as much as we are, and
that, moreover, they are fighting
the Germans, a istatment. which,
from a certain point of view, is
justified. Tlie unusual part of the
business is this, that while the Jap
anese are performing acts «f war
at our ride, they are not putting
themselves wholly into the war and
consequently present the unusual
spectacle of a combatant measur
ing the blows which he deals 10 the
enemy. This fact, which is quite
a simple one, may be garbed in a
hundred different ways, neverthe
less,, it will, under its Oriental < ov
erings, remain a fact.

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS, Nov
J!L—The Austrian anti German ad
vance on this front received a ser
ious setback here this morning
Several furious attempts were made
by them to break the Italian lines
and to cross the Piave River at two
widely removed points but in each
instance the attacking for- ts were
annihilated. At one of the points
of attack over a thousand German
soldiers were taken prisoners and
as a result of the day’s lighting a
feeling of leassc.rance pervades the
combined headquarters of the allied
forces on this war front, that they j
will be able to hold enemy’s advance !
until ar. offensive can be prepared:
which will start the invaders lines
backward out of It *ly.
ROME, Nov. IS.—In the fight
ing of Saturday the enemy force
had succeeded in affecting two
crossings of the Piave River at Pen
son and at Follin, but the Italian
alter the most desperate fighting so
far engaged on this front suceeding
in driving them back to the other
side. It is believed here by military
authorities studying the matter that,
the greatest battle in all history is
now under headway and that it will
proceed with increasing severity as
the days go by. What lias preceded
is regarded as but preliminary to
the huge battle :n prospect.

OF KERENSKY
LONDON,, Nov. 10.— According
to official dispatches reaching this
capital the Bolsheviki are every

china and have made prisoners of
all Kerensky’s stall officials. Orders
have been isliued broadcast for the
arrest and imprisonment of Keren

efforts being made to apprehend him,

the time of forwarding the dis
patches. Great anxiety prevails on
this score as it is feared that with
hi* eloquence and magnetism he
may to able to dir-suade more of the
soldiery without whose support the
new revolution will fail. Efforts are
especially vigorous to present any
escape of the former Premier in
the direction ot Moscow as it is
not known with certainty if the re
volutionists are in complete control
in that city.
PETROGRAD, Nov. IS.—The Max
imalists, Russia’^ new revolutionar
ies are sending detachments of sol
diers in all directions to arrest and
detain followers and sympathizers
of Kerensky whereever they may be
found, and to put down such of his
supporters as may be under arms.

an active propaganda for tlie pur

serious opposition has developed
