THE WEATHER It looked a bit more wintry this morn ing than usual, didn't It? There was no shawl of white snow laid over the earth, there were no clusters of Icicles hanging from roofs but It looked like winter. Tho reason Is simple. Today Is December 1. Those two words sound colder and In print look colder than No vember 30. And the first day of the last month of the 1915th year was cold at Its beginning. After midnight the tempera ture dropped down as low as 1'S. We do not know this, except that we have the Weatherman's word for It. He must have been up all night. By tho way, have you resolved on what to resolve ft month from today?

REBELS COMBINE TO FIGHT STATE SUFFRAGE 'RING' Insurgents Organize Into "Woman's Freedom Guard" Here NARROWLY AVERT BOLT ItnnkllnR soreness at their defeat In not electing their nominees yesterday, and what they term as tho defeat of democracy In the State organization, caused the Insurgent faction (of which tho Philadelphia delegation U the back bone) or tho Pennsylvania Woman Suf frano Association, now meeting nt tho Adclphla, to hold a Separate mass-meeting in tile Ivory Room this nftcrnoon, at which sontlments wore uttered which led many of those attending I: believe that a hott or secession of this "tctlon from tho heretofore unllled ranks of the or ganization was not unlikely. As it was, there congregated, ilth Miss Mary E. Bnkowoll, of Pittsburg , Insur gent leader, formed a party wltuln tho big Stato party and called themselves "Tho Woman's Freedom Guard." Klfty-nlno of those present voted ye:, for the adoption of the name. They-took as their slogan "Fifty-nine" and explained their aim as being "to provide for tli' greatest .possible Individual and group freedom for tho good of tho Woman Suf frage Paity of Pennsylvania." It was really u protest meeting against "the autocracy of the retiring board and tho western delegates, who are making every effort nnd succeeding In most of them, to dominate the convention and the coming campaign for victory In the State." The nrst sign that yesterday's differ ences had not been patched up came when Miss Hakowell roso at this morn ing's session and Invited thos who had voted for Mrs. Maxwell K.

"Appalling Ital ian losses on the Isonzo arc reported from the front," said an official Vienna dispatch received here today. "The Italians apparently have de cided to take Goritz regardless of the immense sacrifices involved," the statement continued. "AH positions are held firmly by the Austrians, though in places nearly destroyed." nOME, Dec. 1. Austria now concedes that the fall of Goilzia Is bound to occur shortly. In nn olllelnl report, issued In Vienna and re ceived hero today, tho Austrian War Olllce says: "On tho Italian front It be coms clearer that tho Italians will, at all costs, force a victory near Gorlzla, if it is ut all possible to do so." Considered In the light of previous an nouncements by the Austrian War Olllce, thlr communication Is Interpreted lmre ns meaning that the fall of the Isonzo stronghold is near. The 'accounts given oui nt Vienna nro believed to have been worded to prepare tho public for an Aus trian letirement at least from Gorlzia. Against the whole front, from Tolmlno to tho sen, tito Italians contlmio an ener gstic offensive. The Austrians have brought up reinforcements nnd have be gun a scries of counter-attacks northwest of Gorlzia, hut west of the city and south of It, on tho Dobeido Plateau, the Italians are making progress. Slowly but surely, King Victor nmman ucl's troops ale drawlpg their nets around Tolmlno, Gorlzia and Uoberdo. Time after time their attacks have been re pented against carefully prepared posi tions. Although Vienna asserts that most of hese assaults have been repulsed, the constant battering of tho invader's forces has weakened many essential points In thu Austrian line. Against tho Tolmlno and Gorlzia bridge heads and on the noitliern part of the Dobeido plateau the lighting is licrcest. Three attacks wire launched against tho Gorlzia bridgehead, eight against Monte San Mlchele and threu against San Mnr tlno. In the Dobcrdo sector. All thet.e, says Vienna, were driven back, with he-tvy losses to tho Italians. The Italians say they have made fur thir progress In the Monte Nero zone, to have repulsed severe counter-blows on the heights northwest of Gorlzia and to be continuing the advance on the Carso plateau, where strong trenches weie stormed.

WATCHFUL WAITING CITY'S TRANSIT POLICY UNTIL SMITH ACTS Acute Disappointment Felt by Business Men at Failure of Mayor-elect to Reappoint Director Taylor SEE HITCH IN PLANS A policy of anxious watchful waiting Is being followed by business men through out this city following tho announcement by Mayor-elect Smith that he does not contemplate retaining Director A.
