ICY GALES FAIL
TO HALT ITALIANS
Fierce Fight at Oslavia
Goes on for Nine Days
in Sixty-mile Wind.
INVADER PUSHES
NEARER TOLMINO
Losses Terrific, Swiss Reports
Say, but Fury of Attack
Is Undiminished.
Paris, Dec. 3. Dispatches from the
Ironro front received in Zurich state
that detplte the icy cold of the bora,
which is blowing at the rate of ?ixty
mile? an hour over the bleak heights
o: the Carso, the Italians constantly
are making attacks along the whole
fiont. Their heaviest assaults are now
directed on the Gorizia bridgehead.
Especially violent and sanguinary
fighting is proceeding near Oslavia,
where it has continued uninterruptedly
for nine days and rights, the Italians
apparently hoping to 1.- ak through the
whole lint of Austrian defence here.
The Italian loues are said to have
been terrific, and in some places the
bodies of the fallen have been found
lying in heaps. The suffering? of the
cr.mpa.gn have been intensified by thv
violence of the bora, which has beer
more terrible than the heaviest snow?
storm. At times the men have been
forced to li" down t avoid, hemp;
blown over the rocks.
While the artillery dasi continues
mound Gorizia. the Italians push
slowly toward Tolinino. The rapture
of an Austrian trench on Santa Maria
Hill is ar.no'inced by Rome.
In the Ledro Valley, Rome Bays, A!
pinists descended a precipice by means
of ropes and surprised the Austrian?.
In the fight that ensued the Italian?
drove the enemy back and occupied his
position.
ITALIAN OFFICIAL.
The following official communication
tras issued at Rome:
In the Ledro Valley one of our de?
tachment.? of Alpinists descended a'
precipice north of Pre by mean? of
rope? ?nd surprised the enemy, who
had been reinforced, and drove him
back, afterwr.rd firmly occupying the '
position.
Minor actions ending ir. our favor
are reported from northwest of Ro
cegno, in the valley of Sugana, in
the Reinz-Fisehbach Ridge and the
valley of Seebach in Galietz.
Our infantry occupied in front of
Tolmino a part of an enemy en?
trenchment on Santa Maria Hill,
capturing rifles and munitions.
The enemy developed an intense
artillery and machine gun fire against
our positions on Monteniano at the
head of the Rier.z valley without
making Bay attack, however. This
fire caused no damage.
Along the Isonzo front persistent
fog and rain hampered artillery ac?
tion. The enemy tried to protit from
weather conditions to make surprise
attacks against our new positions
east of Oslavia and along the north
em slopes of Monte San Mich?le,
but everywhere was repulsed imme?
diately.
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL.
The statement isiut-d at Vienna say.s:
After the rcoeatcd unsuccessful
attacks of the last few uays p.gainst
the bridgehead of Tolinino and our
mountain position? north thereof,
quiet prevailed there yesterday. Near
Oslavia last night we ag.iin repulsed
an enemy attack. Attacks on Monte
San Mich?le and the northern ?lope
of that mountain also failed.
Near San Martino Italia i detach?
ments which approached with san''
ba^s were annihilated.
Gorizia again has bee i subjected
to an especially vigorous bombard

TWO WAR BUYERS
HERE FOR BELGIUM
Sir Horace Plunkett, Also on the

Hears of Ford Trip.
Three 'well known Belgians Aloys
Van de Vyere, Belgian Minister of Fin?
ance; Baron Ernest de Cartier, Belgian
Minister to China, and Chevalier Ed?
mond Carton do Wiart arrived yester?

Aero Dodges Bullets.
Winging Foe at Sea
Paris, Dec. .1. Detail? of the aerial
duel in which a German aeroplane was
brought down into the ?ea off the Bel?
gian coast on November 2R are given
by the French aviator who performed
the feat.
"As we approached the Dixmude
Vpres sector," said the aviator, "my at?
tention was attracted to a German aero?
plane of the albatross type. I made for
it with all haste, but the enemy ma?
chine turned about und headed for the
sea.
"The two machines were soon en?
gaged high above the sen, each u?ing
machine guns. I flew straight for a
hundred yards am, then dropped thirty
yard? under the albatross, manipulat?
ing my machine so that the speed con
forSBSd to that of the enemy. Then my
observer let go fifty cartridges.
"The effect was immediate. I had
just time to move out of the way when
' the albatroi'.? gave a lunge. We were
then 4,200 yards up. German anti-air?
craft guns which had previously fired
at us again sought our machine srith
their fire, but I had other things to
think of than enemy shrapnel name?
ly, whether the enemy machine was yet
effective and would put BS out of ac?
tion if we flew a little higher.
"We were much relieved to see the
albatross fall yet more rapidly, until
; finally it dropped into the sea. In the
clear weather, through the glasses of
my observer, the machine could be dis?
tinguished, and oil from the motor of
the enemy machine could be seen
spreading over the surface of the wnter,
making a large spot on the immense
field of blue."
This i? the F?cond machine brought
down by a French aeroplane under this
pilot. He already has been awarded
the War Cros?, and has been proposed
for the Military Medal.

ship Hocking without prize court pro- ,
ceedings. This btcame known to-day i
after the receipt of officia! confirmation
from American Consul General Young !
at Halifax of reports that the Hocking I
had been held.
The action of Great Britain is to be
vigorously contested a? in violation of
international law. A demand will be
made, It it understood, that the ship
be retained in prize court on the charge i
that the is partly German-owned, and ;
that the court act promptly in the case. ;
The representations probably will in- :
cludr also the case? of the Genesee and ?
?the Kankakee, which also are owned by ;
the American Transatlantic company. ,
The State Department had been notified j
by the company that the Genetee, at |
St. Lucia, W. I., had been requisitioned, |
and that the Kankakee, now en route to
Port Stanley. Falkland Island?, would
be requisitioned.
Deny Hocking Requisition
Violates Law of Nations
[Ht Ca-.i? t.. Tl.? Tr'.liun?. ]
London, Dec. 3. That requisitioning,
the American Transatlantic Company's
ships is opposed to international law is
strongly denied by government official?
her* Their case, as semiofficially giv?
en to The Tribune, is, apart from the
fact that the ?easels are enemy-owned,
that prize court proceedings were taken
against the Hocking and the Geneiec
at Halifax and St. Lucia, re?pectively.
For the convenience of all parties it
WBS deemed desirable to transfer the
trial? to London, where all cater
against transatlantic ships could be
heard simultaneously. For this pur?
pose the cargoes, against which no pro?
ceeding.? have been taken, are now be?
ing discharged, but the ships will be
brought, to England.
It is true that the ships have been
requ sitioned by order of the court in
the sense that u?e is being made of
them en the voyage, but it is pointed
out that provision is clearlv made for
suck action in the prize court rules.
Mor?*over, the government contemplates
no action which would prevent restora?
tion of the ?h.p? to their owners in the
event of the proceeding? being un?
successful.
Stronp rejoinder is also made to th?
owners' arguments against requisition,
it being stated that requisitioning a
ship flying a neutral flag against which
prlte court proceedings have been in?
stituted and before a decree of condem?
nation i? made is neither unprecedent?
ed nor contiary to International Taw.
It i? argued that during the American
Civil War ceveral Br.tish ship? wer.:
requisitioned, one being sold bv order
of a prize court before a decree of con?
demnation tras pronounced.
It i? quite evident that the British
authorities believe they possess a verv
strong case, which undoubtedly will be
argued at the earliest poisib?e oppoi
tunity. ?
Hocking Requisition
Has U. S. Precedents
( Halifax, N. S., Dec. 3. The proced?
ure in the cases of the American steam?
ship Hocking and the Danish steamer
Hamborn, requisitions for which have
been applied for by the British govern?
ment, was made public to-day.
The applications, made to Justice
Dryadale, sitting as a judge of the
I'rize Court, were presented under the
provision of the prize rule? promul?
gated shortly after the outbreak of the
war. Inder the rules a? they existed
until March of this year, neutral ?hip?
and goods could not be requisitioned.
As a result an Order in Council wa?
fiassed revoking the existing rules re
ating to requisitioning by which the
saving clause regarding neutral ship.?
and goods was eliminated.
The question of the power of a prize
court to permit requisitioning by the
government of neutral ship? and good.?
under the new rule came up before the
Prize Court in England, in the case of
the Zamora, in which Sir Samuel Ev?
ans, president of the British I'rize
Court, after reviewing a large number
of previous case??, especially in the
courts of the I'nited States, held that
the power of government to requisi?
tion neutral ships and goods, before
they were concerned in a prize court,
-.vas not a violation of international
law.
futlSS Drysdale grsnted the appli?
cation? and the necessary orders were
issued by the registrar. The course of
the proceeding? will be as follow?:
The commission of appraisement ha?
been issued to the marshal, who will
elect one or more competent appraisers.
, administer oath to them to appraise
; the VSSSSll at their true value and
to certify to the court the value bo
arrived at. Upon the filing of these
certificates of appraisement, undertak?
ings ?rill b? file'l by the Crown to pay
into the court, if so required by the
order, the amounts so found by ap
, prai?ement. Hulease.? will then be is?
sued for th?* rasssts (rom the mar
?hal's cuatodv, and he will deliver
them to the Crown.
The American Transn'iantic Com?
pany, as owners *>f the American
s eamship Hocking, to-da> filed pro?
ceedings in Admiralty agairst the
British ?tenrner Pascal for $5,000 dani
: ages alleged to have resulted from a
! collision between the two vessels dur?
ing a storm in the harbor. It wa?
rlaimed that the Pascal dragged her
anchor and struck the Hocking. The
marshall took the Pascal into custody.

DERBY MAKES '
FINAL APPEAL
Urges Recruits to Justify
His Plan and Stave Off
Conscription.
BRITAIN IS READY
FOR COMPULSION
Machinery Organized and Oiled
to Receive New System With?
out Much Jarring.
London, Dec. 3. In an appeal ad?
dressed to "ail men of military age in
the Cnited Kingdom," Lord Derby, Di-'
rector of Recruiting, say? the recruit?
ing campaign is coming to ?n end and '
"by December 11 we shall know1
whether the men of the United King- ?
dorn betv-een the age? of nineteen and
forty are prepared to give the army
Um forces it require?."
The appeal concludes by urging
every eligible man to join the army'
"and ihow hi? country that he put? ?
| her interests before his own; to- show!
the world, Allies, neutrals and enemie?
alike, that there ?re hundred? of thou?
sands of her citizen? who are ready to
fight for her."
The Joint Labor Recruiting Commit?
tee ?l?o has issued an appeal to "the '
free men of Gre?t Britain to "juitify
the faith of the nation in the voluntary
system and enroll themselves at once
in the great volunteer army which
?tands b-tween u? and the loss of our
rights and liberty." ?
No figures concerning the recruits
thus far enlisted under Lord Derby's
plans are obtainable, but a member of
the Recruiting Committee is quoted as
saying that the result? point to the
undoubted cueces? of it and in greater
measure by far than had ever been an- ,
ticipated.
Wheiher the government decide? to
continue voluntary recruiting or to ro
1 sort to conscription after December 11
conditions will continue much a? they
are now Lord Derby's scheme has or?
ganized all the machinery of conscrip?
tion, except the factor of legal power
to enforce the processes of the ma?
chine. Conscription would slide in
easily and soon be working as smooth?
ly a?, the present system.
Lord Derby's scheme naa relieved the
army of the "hand to mouth" methods
of recruiting by a campaign of poster?,
' Bpeeth-making and personal exhorta
1 tions. It has given the government
definite knowledge of the numbers of
men eligible for military service, with
: their decrees of eligibility, with equal
1 ly definite statistics of those engaged
! in "indispensable" civilian pursuits,
1 and has separated them into classes as
; the men of continental nations are
grouped, so that the War Office may
call up class after class when they are
needed.
Compliance is still voluntary, but
lie power of public opinion remains
entrenched in the background, and
with an accurate knowledge of all the
men who may be considered shirkers
the local committees will be able to in?
voke the pressure of public sentiment
accurately and strongly upon their
I heads.

ROADS ASK SHIPPERS
TO BUNCH DELIVERIES
Trunk Line Association Trying
to Ease Freight Congestion.
Members of the Tiank Line Associ?
ation, at a conference yesterday over,
the congested freight situation in New:
York and nearby terminals, called up?
the shippers to cooperate with the rai
roads in relieving the situation. Tl
? hippers wer* requested to concei
trate shipments for the ?ame delivei
a? much a? possible in one car.
"The railroad? have had in effect I
tome time," said C. C. McCain, chai
man of the association, "a rule whi?
permits three separate deliveries witl
out extra charge from a carload of e:
port freight. This is what is termi
'split deliveries,' and the rule wi
established to facilitate export shi]
menta, by which a carliad of froigl
arriving at a New York terminal
given the privilege of distribution I
lighterage to more than one ocean lin
"An order may be given a carri?
at New York to make delivery of pa
of a load, while the remainder is le
in the car for long period?. Shippei
loading ?evera! car? at practically tli
?ame time will now place the freiiri
in each which requires the same d<
livery at destination. It would hav
been no inconvenience to the ?hipp?
if such shipments in different car? ha
all been loaded into the same car.
"If thia were done the carrier woul
be saved the necessity of making se>
era! lighterage deliveries of small lot
to the ?ame place, and the deliver
?ervice would be more concentrate
? .i J expedited, to the mutual advantag
of the railroad? and the shippers."
TOD SLOAN, OUSTED
BY BRITAIN^ BAG
Not a Friend at Pier to Gree
Once Famous Jockey, De?
ported as Undesirable.
"Tod" Sloan, once king of jockeys
came back yeiterday on the White Sta
liner Adriatic. Of the friends wh.
joined in the ovation to him when h
returned from his great sweep in Eng
land in 1900 not one was at the pie
yesterday to greet him.
Sloan, James Todhunter is his ful
title, has just been deported from Eng
land as an undesirable under the De
fence of the Realm Act on the charg?
of keeping a gambling house, lie a!
most lost the unruffled calm of hii
?icbonnair manner when he was asket
how it all came about.
"It'? a frame-up, pure and simple,'
he declared with emphasis.
Then he told how the trouble al
started when he ran across a mar
named Jeffrey Taylor. This man, h?
said, who ?fterward turned out to b?
a lieutenant in the British army, in
sisted on going to Sloan's apartment t?
play cards. Sloan vion ?150 at the
game and the ?tranger left an I. O. U.
The next act in the little drama the
climax of wnich was hi? deportation
?aid Sloan, was the appearance of twe
detectives who told him of Taylor's
connection with the army and con?
ducted him to the Cannon Row police
station. They also took Mile. Dheriys
who lived with her sister in the same
house.
The next day the woman was es?
corted by government officials to
Dieppe and advised not to make her
future home in England. Sloan was
sent back to America.
The former jockey said that he might
ask the State Department to investi?
gate his deportation, but would consult
his attorneys first. At any rate, he
said, his chief concern was for Mile.
Dherly?. He hinted that the proprie?
tors of two famous London gambling;
house? had instigated the entire
trouble.
"Tod" has reached the ripe old age
of forty-one, at least it seem? old to
him. He said that in the last few
years he had been putting on, weight
at a shocking rate. To-day he actually
weigh? 112 pound?!
Sloan ?ays he has turned to the mo?
tion picture field. His plans are not
yet definite, but he : aid he had been
doing ?ome work before the camera in
England and would probably try to
continue in the same field here.
About a dozen French jockeys had
enlisted in the war, Sloan said.
