TO ACT
AS UNIT

PARIS, Nov. 17.-French and
British soldiers fought last light
as one army for the first time
since the opening of the war.
Heretofore the allied forces have
acted more or less independently
but they are now guided by q
single force, known as the inter-
allies war council.
Russia and Italy, too, are ex-
pected to joint the council as soon
as possible.
The Franco-British arrange
ments were completed today in
a conference between Premier
Asquith and Minister of NUM-
tions Lloyd-George, Foreign Min
lister Grey, First Lord of the
Admiralty Balfour for England
and Premier BRAND, Minister of
War Gallien, Commander Joffre
and Minister of Marine Lacaze FOR
France.

point Of view, a political liability.
He found that most of the things
he regarded as important had be-
come unimportant to the admin
istration and he had unquestion-
ably come to feel that those con-
sentative counsels which had so
long dominated in one wing of
the democratic party and which
had completely dominated the old
standpat republican party, had
come to be the controlling voice

the division between the radical
and the standpat sections of the
democratic party will become
more evident, and that in the end
the democratic party will expe-

pened when the forward-looking
republicans broke away and Or
ganized the progressive party.
Which leads me to my reason
for believing that the progress

do not care whether the radical
democrats come to us, or wheth-
err they form a new party and we
go to them. The point is that we

sink ANOTHER
ITALIAN LINER

ROME, Nov. 1.-THE Italian
passenger ship Bormida, bound
for Venice from Tripoli, was sunk
today off Sicily by a submarine,
presumably Austrian. All on
board are reported saved.
A German submarine stopped
the Italian liner Milano in the
Mediterranean, but spared her
because there were several Ger
man-Americans aboard.
Following cannonading off
Sardinia, it is reported that tai
ian torpedo boats sank an Aus
trian sub in that vicinity.

BY Gibson Gardner

NEW YORK, Nov. IT,
That the democratic party is
on the point Of breaking up
and that from the disinte-
grafton will come the ele-
ments of new radical party
is what recent events mean
to Victor Murdoch, chair
man of the Progressive
party national committee.
Murdoch foresees a bitter fight
in the house of representatives on
the administration program, and
predicts that 1t will be led by
Claude Kitchin of North Carolina,
and Walter l.. Hensley of Mis-
souri,.
Wilson has become the leader
of the conservative democracy, /"
said Murdoch today. 1.-THE pre-
paredness issue is the thing
which momentarily is centering
attention, but more important
than the preparedness issue in It's
ultimate effects, is the division
between the Bryan, or radical,
democrats and the McAdoo, or
conservative democrats.
Bryan Did Much
"As Bryan has quit for his rad
ical principles, there will be a lot
of other democrats who will quit.
There are many honest, earnest
men in the democratic party who
have been much closer to the pro-
grcssive point of view than they
have to the Underwood-Simmons-
Overman McADoo democratic
point of view.
1T was Bryan's influence
which put through the Wilson
legislative program. At every
crisis when votes were needed and
the president was unables to. get
them, it was Bryan who stepped
to the front and delivered his fol-
lowing.
But Bryan gradually found
that he had been used up and
had become from the Wilson
