WILL FIGHT FOR
INDEMNITIES
♦
ZURICH, Nov. 12.—That Ger
many and her allies have no inten
tion of quitting the war game untill
they gets that for which they enter
ed the struggle is gathered from
the address of Admiral von Tirpit*
at Munich today. The German offi
cial was discussing the most favor
able terms which German could
offer to consider a cessation of the
war. He contended that any settle
ment which did not accord certain
economic indemnities for Germany
would mean the defeat of the Ger
man and Austrian armies,* and a
serious to the central powers. He
declared that the Central Powers
could not quit the war until Ger
many shall have secured permanent
control of the mouth of the Danube
River and that she retain Trieste.
The Admirals remarks are taken
to mean that Germany has no in-;
tention in the worhl of making!
peace upon any terms that do not
include the above.

OPPOSE RUSSIAN RADICALS
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 12.—The
(roubles of the Maximilist faction
now in control, if control it can be
called, of the Russian government,
according to dispatches received
here today. The conservative or
"moderate” socialist’s representa
tives of the Center group have
formed a coalition in Petrograd
with a view to forming a cabinet
opposed the Boelschveski if these
reports are correct.
Serious noting is supposed to be
in progre-s in the Russian capital
with many fatalities." Street fights
are almcst everywhere in evidence,
the opposing factions fighting from
automobiles.
Some of those openly engaged in
the encounters are former soldiers
who joined the Maximilists at the
time of the unseating of Kerensky
and are now under the leadership
of Trotsky, the Maximilist • leader
who has returned from the United
States to take up the work of form
ing a new Russian regime opposed
to the war with Germany and in
favor of concluding a separate
peace with the central powers.
The wealthier classes are abandon
ing their homes and storing their
valuables indread that in the event
the radicals get the upperhand that
the city may be sacked .

An act was pa-sod at the last

for the establishing of free citizen

town, in which instruction is to be
given in the use of the English
language, history of the United
State,;, and civil government. In

subjects taught in the public
schools. Several persons are inter
ested in having such a school start
ed in Nome, and no doubt many
would seize the opportunity of
brushing up a bit on their educa

petition to the Federal Judge signed
by at least 12 persons over the age
of 16 years to get 3uch a school

and drive out the Maximilist forces.
The belief is expressed here that
Kerensky will return and he restor
ed to power. Officials here are cer
tain that the army will rally to the
support of Kerensky and march
with him back to triump. But
everyone seems to think that there
is presently to be a holocasut of
fratricidal blood in Russia before
the winter i3 over. Certain it i.
I
that Kerensky's return is not to be
unopposed and the great likelihood
exists that the opposition will be
violent and bloody.

HALTED IN ITALY
LONDON, Nov. 12.—That an ef
fective pause has been given the
German invaders into Italian terri
tory i3 the substance, of a long
dispatch received at the war office
today. The inter-allied commission
which is directing the campaign of
the allied power, for the salvation
of Italy and the restoration of the
part of her territory which the
enemy has taken is today delivering
its first effective blow against the
teutonic alliance . The opposing
armies were lined up along the
Piave River and upon the Assago
plateau.
A heavy bombardment was at
once begun upon the enemy’s posi
tion with the Italian troops to the
front but with the allied re-inforcc
ments on the ground. Sharp thrusts
were made into the enemy's flanks.
The Gorman soldiers wore halted
and many prisoners were captured.

strategic position is being sought
and retirement to it may be neces

troops who are known to be in the
alps. If Venice is abondoned they
claim a new line will be formed
along Asiago and Vidor.
PRESIDENT MAKES
GREAT LABOR SPEECH
BUFFALO, Nov. 12.—Before
what is regarded as one of the
largest gatherings ever assembled
any where in the world under one
roof here today President Wilson
delivered the most stirring and emo
tional speech of his career. The
president had journeyed up from
Washington D. C., away from his
most momentous affairs to be pre
sent at the national convention of
the American Federation of Labor
meeting here in annual session.
The gathering itself i,;i a most im
posing and noteworthy occasion
and for his auditors the President
had the leading men of the conserv
ative labor movement from every
nook and corner of the entire
country. In a voice charged with
tremendous power and feeling the
President addressed the great body
for over an hour, during which a
dramatic stillness prevailed as hia
well chosen words one by one fell
from his lips were given an atten
tion which has ben accorded to but
few men.
President Wilson's remarks le
vealed that he himself truly valued
the auspicious occasion and he
pledged himself to the high pur
poses which animate the labor
movement. He promised the labor
men before him and through them
promised the laboring people of the
entire country that all the power
and resources of the whole country
would be consecrated to the destruc
tion of autocracy and autocratic rule
which he avowed to be the great
enemy of labor.
A3 the proceeded he seemed to
catch the psychology of the men to
whom he was speaking and .seemed
to feci the unspoken questions the
labor men were mentally asking:
What is to happen to Labor through
this country's operations in the
war? As if responding to these un
spoken questions he declared anti
pr'mised that labor must be held
free and that its highest traditions
and standards must be maintained.
In turn for the promised boon he
called the labor men to join with
him in redoubling the efforts of the
American nations in the struggle
for freedom and democracy.
Observer,;; noted that while the
attention accorded the Presidents
words was profound and respectful
it was at the same time studious and
calculating. It is known that re
gardless of bis reassuring address
many o? the administration’s me
diators and wage inquiry boards are
in conflict with the labor unions in
various parts of the country in their
efforts to maintain wage standards
commensurate with mounting co.-ts
of living.
GERMANS PRESS
FIGHT ON ITALIAN
BERLIN, Nov 12.—That there
ha.i beer, no serious interference |
with the continued advance of the'
German forces in Italy was the j
claim made by the German military
authorities here this morning. |

the Germans at once continued their
march down the Piave River for a
distance of twenty five miles. The j

claimed that little or no opposition
is being offered to the steady Teu

According to these reports, the
Austro-German army moving into
Italy as rapidly as its strategists
care to go.
ROME, Nov. 12.—The forces of
the enemy that had attempted to
cut off the left wing of the Italian
armies have been outgeneralled ac

military authorities. The Italian
fighters who have thus escaped be
ing separated from the main body

nountaiin and are safe on the up
iter Piave river, but it admitted that
jcrntan pressure continues to be
severe.
The Germans are making special
efforts tc get across the river below
or in the neighborhood of Fedre
but are having severely all the
way.
