United States Looks Upon
the Italian Situation as a
Grave Peril to the Cause
of the Allied Nations.
French High Command Also
Announces That the Ad-
vance of the Teutons in
North Italy Must Be
Checked.

Washington. Nov 3-Behind the
censored 'Tagliamento river opera
tions in northern Italy lies the crisis
of the war, officials here believed to-
night. Not only does the United States
government look upon the Italian sit
uation as the greatest peril to the al
lied cause today. but an official state
ment by the French high command ad-
mitted the German advance must a b.
solutely be checked"
The great battle of Italy's Marne ap-
parently Is in it's first critical stage,
with General Cadornas retreat to his
river defenses a complete success"
Allied reinforcements are arriving to
his support. Confidence is felt here
that the Teutons will be stopped. Ad-
vices to the state department corrobor-
ated this.
ENvELbPiNG MOVEMENT.
Meantime press reports indicate the
Teutons are attempting the feared en-
veloping movement from the north To
create a diversion and possibly force
withdrawal of some of General Mack
enzen's troops to the Flanders front,

I mans on the west front We're announc-
ed by the French commission here
This was expected also to stop fur
ther German reinfoi ments reaching

in Italy.
FEAR OF THE ALLIES.
The anxiety lest the Italians receive
a blow which would crush their NOR
ale is based on the following feared
results of an Italian colapse
The three million Austrian and
German troops released from the
Italian front might be thrown
against the Anglo French Ameri-
can line. Elimination of Italy
would also release sufficient Teu-
ton artillery to give the enemy SUI
premacy in guns on the west front.
enabling the Germans to double the p
ferocity of their Nerdun attack on
any chosen sector. Allied troops
on the Macedonian front and the
Greek forces preparing to enter
the fighting will be helpless after
an Italian debacle.

WEDGE OF
THE French
DRIVEN FAR
into LINES
Laon, Key City of the Hin
denburg Line, Now Grave
ly Menaced by French
Guns, Less Than Seven
Miles Away.
BY w. S. FORREST.

Paris, Nov. 3.-Once again the Ger
man wave of men has receded,
broken, as it swept back from YER
dun and tonight French poilus trod
nearly 20 miles of reconquered terri
tory north of Chemin Des Danes.
The full extent of the German re-
treat north of the Aisne was not es-
tablished in official statements to-
day. 1t was known that French forces
had reached the Ailette river, to find
all bridges burned by the retreating
Mrdes. The evacuated territory north
of the Chemin Des Danes ridge rep
resented a strip about IL miles In
length and the pulverized cities of
Courtecon, Allies. Chevreux and Cor
beny.
BATTLE DEVELOPING.
Further to the west on the Chavig
non plateau the war office reported
|active artillerying, indicating develop
ment of a battle and possibly'a French
drive beyond the territory recently
seized in Petain's formidable assault
10 days ago.
The capture of the French soldiers
since Sept. %, 1t was officially an
inounced, have totalled 200 heavy guns,
22O trench mortars and 720 machine
guns. In 10 days, from Oct. II to 3D.
23 German aeroplanes were brought
down and rs forced to descend badly
damaged.
FRENCH CLOSE TO LAoN.
The German retirement and the re-
sultant French advance brings the en-
velopment of Laon, key city in the
Hindenburg- Siegfried line very close.
The city is now less than seven miles
distant from the new French lines
within range of heavy guns.
The ridges of the Chemin Des
Danes have cost the German crown
prince almost as many men as did
his assaults against Nerdun and as
with the French citadel. have gained
him nothing. His present retirement
was foregone conclusion when the
French bored in the corner at the ex-
treme westward end of the Chemin
Des Danes threatening his flank.
TO SAVE MAN POWER.
That same wedge, 1t was pointed
out, exerts an equal menace on the
German line northward to Lafere and
st. Quentin. A strategic retreat" on
this line was expected by experts here
as the next step in the German war
scheme-not only to relieve the men
ace of the flank attacks. but also to
man power in shortening it.

Morris Hillquit, a Russian jew, was

of their fight tonight with a torchlight

TOBACCO HELPED
WIN CIVIL WAR
FOR THE UNION
Big Supply Needed Now to
Keep Battling Yanks
Happy

What won the Civil War? Now,
don't all answer at once. Yes, we
hear you; Battle of Gettysburg, eh?
And No. 2. you say it was the
blockade. There's another who says
simply superior numbers. Well, you
are all wrong. Tobacco won the
Civil War. The tobacco editor can
prove it. Follow on.
What made General Grant a great
general and soldier? Why, tobacco.
IL he had not had that old black
cigar sticking between his tight,
grim lips the Battle of Lookout
Mountain might have been lost.
Standing alongside of him was
General Thomas, some general, too.
But 1t looked to him as though the
ranks were going to give in. One
signal from Grant and the charge
would have been abandoned, but
he chewed steadily six times on his
faVorite weed and then reinforced,
replied: 80, give 'em q little time"
And then at the Wilderness. Half
dozen of his staff were about him
when huge shell fell right amongst
them. Most of them ducked but
U. 5. only took a tighter strangle-
mold on his cigar. and while he was
chewing 1T he got an idea. Pulling
out compass he quickly computed
the angle of the shells direction and
In Jig time he trained six guns on
that Confederate battery and put the
muf11er on it for good.
Grant smoked every minute al
most up to the finish, and even
General Lee admitted that his
choice in smokes was nifty. A very
hne lady once complained to Mr..
Lincoln that she could hardly
stand to talk with General Grant be-
cause of that terrible tobacco
smoke" IF you find out what brand
1t is" winked Lincoln, I'll be glad
to send the same brand to a lot of
other generals"
Fifty years hence they will tell
you how tobacco won this war by
Keeping the couple million Yank
soldiers happy. And, old boy, YOU
with the bank roll, if you don't
loosen up pretty soon, we would hate
10 be in your place when United
states Grant claps his eye on YOU
in the next world.

HIGH COST OF COURTINC

All Jne world may love lover,
but the trainers of the new war tax
bill adopted a roundabout way OF
showing their affection, asserts II.
F. Logan in Leslie's. The congress
sional measures to raise additional
revenue makes a particularly affec-
tionate assault on the bankroll of
the young man who wishes to dem
onstrate his devotion to a maid. If
the object of the youths passion
lives reasonably near him, he may
escape the new tax on kilograms
and telephone messages that cost
less than Is cents. Every love let
ter he writes will cost him an adj
ditional penny. however, even if he
incloses only single burning
poem. If a trip to the theater is
planned, committing lovers who live
more than 80 miles from the play
house must give financial assistance
to the war on the Hohenzollerns.
Actual admission to the theater de-
mands an additional ten per cent
on the cost of the tickets. Natur-
ally, the dear girl will wish to make
herself particularly alluring to her
ardent swain. To do so, she must
pay a two per cent tax on the per-
fume essence, toilet water, lin
rouge or face powder that to her
seems the most effective device.

900 China Bowl
Imported Tax Free

New York. Dec. 21.--Ten inches of
insignificant-appearing china bowl,
actual value $4,000, was the subject
of a heated legal controversy that
finally has resulted in a decision by
the United States court of apprisal
here that will effect every art treas
ure brought into the country in the
future.
Appraisers Byron G. White and
Eugene G. Hay upheld the arguments
of II. A. Il. Jacques. the owner of the
bit of china, that it is a rare work
of art and of educational value !;
therefore. not subject to duty. BY
so deciding they reversed the custom
house officials at San Francisco, who
held that it was rare article of
merchandise and as such subject to
an ad valorem tax of 40 per cent.
Representatives of the American
Museum of Art showed great inter-
est in the bowl, which is believed to
have been used by some artistic
Chinaman who lived in the time of
the Sung dynasty, which extended
from go A. d. to 1878 A. d.
