Removing Americans from Moscow.
Washington, Nov. 19. Ambassador
Francis, at Petrograd, reported to
the State department in a message
dated last Friday and received today
that he had recommended that all
unattached American women and
American men accompanied by
women and children leave the city.
Arrangements had been made for
them to travel on the trans-Siberian
railroad in two special coaches. The!
ambassador reported conditions in the
Russian capital chaotic, but fairly
quiet There was no central head of
goverttnent and the embassy dealt di
rectly with the superintendent of pas
senger service of the railway in ar
ranging for the removal of the
Americans. -Hie departments of gov
ernment either were closed or being
operated withont their chiefs.
Mr. Francis said he feared no dam
age to the embassy, but conditions
were so unstable that he deemed it
best to get the Americans out if pos
sible. Information at the State de
partment indicates that there are in
Petrograd about 200 Americans.
Russian Embassy Statement
Basing their opinion on the state
ment of Lenine that the success of
the Bolsheviki was dependent on
world-wide revolutionary movement
by soldiers and workmen, officials at
ha Rnaaian cmhaisv todat oredicted
that the followers of the Kerensky
government would win either through
n military victory or through the evi
dent Incapacity of the Bolsheviki to
make good their promises to their fol
lowers. No late news has been received at
the embassy, but officials declared that
: the mention of Captain Pavloff as the
commander of troops opposing the
Bolsheviki was an encouraging sign.
Captain Pavloff is said to be of the
. atari or me aociai acmocrauc wuric
men's oartv and the ooinion was ex
pressed that this means that one of
the strongest tactions ot tne opposi
tion had gone over to the moderates.
Italians Begin Offensive.
Italian forces fcave beeun an of
fensive on the Asiasro plateau and
have occupied advanced elements of
trenches, the war office announces to
day.
The statement reads!
"Last nieht there was lively artil
lery activity between Lake Garda and
Asiaeo. ' '
"On the Asiago plateau the enemy
made violent concentrations of fire on
our positions at Monte Tonbercar and
Monte Badenccche without following
up with any infantry attack. Our par
ties in new offensive operations reoc
copied elements of trenches, capturing
six officers and 202 men.
"South of Quero enemy forces in
great numbev are attacking our Monte
Monfenera and Monta Tomb lines.
"On the plains the vigilance of our
troops has stopped the enemy from
renewing any attempt whatsoever to
cross the Piave. .
"Among our troops the following
deserve to again be specifically men
tioned for valor shown during these
last days: Bersaglieri battalions in
the Fagare zone and the Granotieri
and Catania brigades at the Zenson
loop. '
"Enemy troops repeatedly were
bombarded in the course of the day
hv our airolanes. and in the night in
spite of a strong wind, by our airships
at the basin of Primolano, to the
northwest of Susegana, and at Tezze

men waded across in water above
their waists. In their first surprise
rush they swept past four Italian ma
chine Run batteries, canturiofc the
guns and driving the Italians back into
the village of tagare.
Most of the enemy fell along tlie
water's edge and an observer who saw
the gruesome sight says the bodies on
the river bank and in the water re
minded him of seaweed after the tide
had gone out.
Further up the river at bega mill
the other crossing had brought on an
other blooJy fipht, which lasted until
ate yesterday, when the whole snore
was cleared of living Austrians. But
it was lined with dead. The movement
here began late on Friday night and
reached its culmination about 11
'clock Saturday morning.
At daylight yesterday the enemy
still held his position at the cemetery,
The situation began to look serious
and for a time it appeared as though
the Italians would have to fall back.
But the famous Bersaglieri brigade
was brought up fresh and some of the
other troops from nearby towns were
stirred to a last desperate cttort.
The Italians charged shortly alter
dawn, their line moving straight up
the hill to the cemetery. The main
fiehtintr was hand to hand, with the
enemy being pressed back steadily to i
me river, wnere tney were cut uuwn,
drowned, bayoneted or captured. By
10 o clock yesterday all had been
swept away except a few straggling
groups; by noon not one ot tne ene
my's force was left on the western
bank.
In addition to some 1,500 killed, the
enemy lost 1,500 prisoners, including
two colonels and some thirty officers.
All the Austrian machine guns were
captured and are now being used by
the Italians.

be found on any ocean, bay, river or
other waters within three miles of the
shore line of the United States or its
territorial possessions or any
of the waters of the great lakes, their
connecting waters and harbors."
An enemy alien may not approach
or be found within 100 yards of any
canal, wharf, pier or dock used di
rectly by, or by means of lighters, by
any vessel or vessels of over 500 tons
gross engaged in foreign or domestic
trade other than fishing, nor within
100 yards of an warehouse, shed,
elevator, railroad terminal or other'
terminal, storage or transfer facility
adjacent to or operated in connection
with any wharf, pier or dock.
Declare Prohibited Zones.
The attorney general is given addi
tional authority to declare prohibited
zones about other establishments
whenever he deems it advisable to do
so. The proclamation does not inter
fere, however, with existing regula
tions forbidding enemies to live within
a half mile of munition plants, ship
yards and other government estab
lishments, though all previous special
permits to allow aliens to ignore the
zone restricted are revoked.
The proclamation applies to conti
nental United States and to the, Phil
ippines, Porto Rico and Alaska. The
penalty for violation will be intern
ment for the waf. '
Action Not Vindicative,
Officials explained today that the
government's action is not intended
to be vindictive, and that Germans
who mean no harm to the United
States will not be molested. Under
regulations now being framed by the
Department of justice all Germans
may not be reguired to report period
ically to officials. The regulations
will be promulgated withii. a few
days, but the terms of the president's
proclamation become immediately
effective.
Ashton, Neb., Nov. 19. (Special
Telegram.) Paul Chilewski, claiming
to be worth upwards ot $sju,uw, suf
fered the fate of a "slacker" at the
hands of his fellow townspeople last
week, when the three business build
ings which he owns were painted
yellow with the conspicuous notation
of "Paul, the Slacker," done in a
bright red.
Ashton is a town ot suo population,
and claims to be the most patriotic
village in the state, with a big quota
of its boys already serving tne na
tional colors.
Chilewski. who pays 51.73 personal
tax, according to county court house
records, flatly refused, it is alleged,
to assist the recent Kea cross cam
paign. He has tne record among tei-
low citizens ot having never suo
scribed a dollar to the Liberty loan
and when recently approached for a
$2 donation for the Young Mens
Christian association refused to in
dulge, citizens declare.
Incensed by his conduct, citizens
of Ashton, after purchasing all the
visible supply of bright yellow paint
in the town, garbed themselves up
with aprons and proceeded to give
Chilewski's buildings a coat of paint
that was not down on the program.
They worked industriously through
out most of the night, posting senti
nels and pickets, although it was a
needless precaution, the entire town
evidently being in hearty sympathy
with the movement
What effect the ''Dangerous Dau:
bers" work will have on Chilewski
has not yet materialized. It is the
feeling here that unless he imme
diately undergoes a change of heart
more stringent methods will be used
to bring him to realize that the assist
ance of everyone at this time is
needed. '
The State Council for Defense, Lin
coln, it is believed, will be notified
and take cognizance of Chilewski's
actions.
BULLETIN.
New York, Nov. 19. The war
fund of $35,000,000 with which the
Young Men's Christian association
will provide care and comfort for
the soldiers and sailors of America,
and its allies has been raised, it was
announced here ton';,. by George
W. Perkins, chairman of the finance
committee of the war work council.
MONEY PILED HIGH.
Money and pledge cards are piled
high in the city and state headquar
ters of the Young Men's Christian
association campaign for war work
funds. Secretary Denison states that
the complete figures cannot be tabu
lated for two or three days, though a
corps of workers is busy.
"The total for the state has gone
well over $350,000," said D. Burr
Jones, in charge of the state cam
paign. Nebraska's quota was only
$250,000, and it is believed that again
this state has fcone to the top among
the state of the union in the over
subscription for a good cause.
To Extend the Work. .
An important telegram from John
R. Mott, national chairman, was re
ceived by Mr. Jones Monday morn
ing which indicates that the Young
Men's Christian association work is
about to be expanded vastly beyond
even its present limits. "Relay this
telegram by telegraph or telephone
to all chairmen and workers. Do not
economize, as time is everything,"
said instructions with the dispatch.
It is as follows:
Appeal From Allies.
"Developments since our original
budget as adopted make it absolutely
essential that we have a far larger
sum available. I refer, first, to the
alarming situation on eastern and
southern frontsnecessitating prompt
expansion of our activities in those
regions; second, appeal from French
prime minister that wetake charge of
1,300 soldiers' homes for French
army of 4,000,000 men requires for this
item alone an increase of $3,000,000
in adopted budget; third, a confiden
tial request from another great allied
army for'large help; fourth, the recent
great increase in number of war pris
oners to be served by us; fifth,
changes in plans of our own govern
ment which make it clear that we will
have much more to do for American
troops than contemplated. May God
help us to achieve the seemingly im
possible." Ask Repeal of Increase on
Second-Class Postal Rates
New York, Nov. 19. Congress was
asked to repeal the section of the war
tax law increasing postal rates on the
second classmail matter in resolutions
adopted at a meeting here today of
the Representatives' club, an organi
zation of publishers. The rate, which
are to go into effect next July were
characterized in . the resolution as
"destructive of one of the greatest
educational and industrial factors in
the country."
Low postal rates for periodicals, the
speaker added, ."grew out of the neces
sity of the people, and the stand of
