SETBACK IN ITALY
SPURS ALLIES TO
UTMOST EFFORT
Washington Officials Believe
ReverSes on Southern Front
Cannot Determine Course
of War. \
nv Associated PreSs.l

Washington, Oct. 30.-The Italian
situation was discussed at length by
President Wilson and his advisers a
today's cabinet meeting, discussion
touching immediate military aspect:
and 1.-The extension of assistance by the
allies. Furnishing Of supplies, especial.
ly coal, badly needed for Italian mu.
nition factories, is said to be regarded
as this country's particular sphere OF
immediate action.
While the administration shares the
concern over the initial success of the
Teutonic drive, officials are said to re-
ject the opinion advanced in some
quarters that events in Italy can be-
come decisive of the war or even an
important turning point.
Spur, Not Diseouragement.
1t is felt that setbacks in Italy will
act as spur rather than discourage
ment, both upon Italy and the other
allies. There is no apprehension that
Italy will break doWn or weaken in
adherence to the common cause
against Germany.
Further advices concerning the re-
treat are anxiously awaited in official
and diplomatic quarters. Army officers
as we'll as officials of the Italian en-
bassy appear to be entirely confident
that General Cadorna will be able to
hold the Teutonic forces in check on
the new line at which he has prepared
for a stand.
Word that the British artillerymen
with the Italian army had brought
their guns through the retirement
without the loss of battery was well
coined today as indicating that Cen
eral Cadorna's men were holding their
Organization in the face of the smash
ing Austro-German assaults.
: Italian military experts here agree
that General Cadorna will retire with
his whole army to the new line of de-
fense on the Tagliamento river, about
Is miles in the rear of the present
line. On this river the Italians have
formidable and permanent defensive
works and .ne line should hold, unless
the Notifications have been stripped
of their heavy guns to place them on
the mountain tops surrounding the
Bainsizza plateau.
These experts say that it must
have been clearly impossible to re-
move within few days what guns
were on the mountain tops, so they
fell into the hands of the Austro-Ger-
mans as an incident to the rapid re-
treat of the Italian army. But while
the loss of the guns would be keenly
felt by the Italian army, they would
be. of no use to the Germans because
in most cases they would have been
blown up or otherwise rendered use
less before being abandoned.
The fall of UGnc, lately General
Cadorna's headquarters, was fully ex-
pected by the Italians here and it was
said by the experts that the Italians
were resisting at that point only for
the purpose of gaining sufficient time
to allow the retreat under the protec-
ton of this salient of the eastern and
southern Italian armies still on
Austrian soil.

TO POUND Down
COST next step
IN FOOD FIGHT
Reduction in Cost Of Non.Per-
ishabIe Foodstuffs Will Be
Aim of Conservation r.
Forces.

A determined effort to hammer
down the >price Of nonperishable
foodstuffs, such as canned goods, ID
expected to be the next development
in Nebraska's statewide fight for the
conservation of the nations food.
With the work of pledging every
housewife in Omaha and the/state to
conserve all foodstuffs progressing
satisfactorily, state food officials, led
by Food Administrator Gurdon w.
Wattles, who is now touring the state
to arouse interest in the movement,
believe a downward turn in canned
goods would not be unjust.
The movement against nonperish-
able goods would be in harmony with
the recently expressed wish of Ma
tional Food Dictator Hoover that ef-
forts be made throughout the country
to reduce prices.
Several letters of commentator
have been received by Omaha workers
from Washington.
Praise for Crooks.
Cliff Crooks. Fairbury, president of
the Federation Of Nebraska Retailers,
who has come to Omaha to devote his
entire time to the pledge card work,
was the recipient of a warm letter of
congratulation from the national food
dictator's Office.
Mr.. Crooks has had entire charge
of the poster distribution, has printed

RIVER STOPS RETREAT.
The retirement of the defeated
Italian army is being stemed at the
few crossings of the river, which is
greatly swollen.
MEET ITALIAN CAVALRY.
Rome, Oct. 30.-The Italian retreat
continued yesterday, the war Office
announces. The Italian cavalry is in
contact with the vanguards of the
advancing enemy.
- The Italians destroyed bridges over
the Isonzo and fought rear guard ac-
tons, by which means they checked
the Austro- German advance.
(By Associated Press.)
Italian resistance to the Austro-
German onslaught along the Isonzo
apparently is stiffening as General Ca
dorRa prepares to reform his forces
along the strong defensive line of the
Tagliamento river. The entire Isonzo
line has been turned and the Carso
position has been given up, to the
victorious Teutor soldiery, who are
now before Udine, the. former Italian
general headquarters.
Despite the crushing blow suffered
by the Italian forces ON the northern
Isonzo and the consequent retirement
all along the river, General Cadorna
has the Tagtiamento line from which
to bea< back the invaders from the
Venetian plains. Berlin does not re.
port any great additional number Of
prisoners, and this, coupled with
Cadorna's official statement that his
troops are checking the Austro-Ger-.
mans, may mean that the force OF
the first blow has been spent.
Teuton activity is reported in the
region of Poelcken pass, in the Carnlc
Alps. north of Tolmizzo, where the
Tagliamento turns westward. A
strong advance here might make the
Taglianento line untenable, as also
would any Austro-Gernlan effort in
force southwark from the Carnic Alps
and Dolomite Alps. The Italian high
command must consider too the pos
sibility of blow from the Trentino.
From Swiss sources it is reported
that the Austro-Swiss~ frontier has
been -Slosed and that German REIN
forcements are being hurried to the
Italian front. This may mean either
supports for the invaders west of the
Isonzo or material for a new drive
from the mountains southwark behind
the Tagliamento.
Meanwhile there are no reports Of
apy activity i'll the Trentino and Great
Britain and France have taken steps
to reinforce the Italians. What form
this help is taking has not yet been
disclosed.
Raids and small operations are oc-
cupying the troops on the front in
France. The artilleres are very ac-
tive along the Aisne front and north
east of Ypres, in Flanders.
