In'a.qreat arc, more than l60 miles
in length, THE Misunderstanding fall b.
ing back upon'and through the plains
of. Venetia to a new and shorter line
of defense. 4 From'lthe Fellafvalley
to the head of the Adriatic sea, the
entire line of the Tagliamento river
has been given up by General Cador-
ma. The:t Germans and Austro-Hun-
garians everywhere are following up
the Italians in their retreat, but with
the Italians offering resistance in rear
guard actions along the entire front
Meanwhile the British forces in
BelgiumE have won another notable
victoryIover the Germans in the re-
gion of the Ypres, having captured in
one of their intrepid dashes after a
rain of shells of all calibres the town
of Passchendaele, Il about five miles
west of Roulers, for which much Bit
ter fighting has taken place recently.
This new advance of the British
throws the apex Of their salient in
dangerous proximity TO Roulers, the
the fall of which would cut Germanys
communication from her submarine
bases atL0stend ard ZeebruPge with
the south.
The conclusions from the meager
ladvices thus far at hand are that the
Canadians, who bore the brunt OF the
operations, extended their line beyond
Passchendaele. Numerous German
prisoners were taken.
The decision of theIItalians to evac-
uate the Tagliamento line was taken
after the enemy Chad intensified his
pressure along the upper reaches OF
the river in the highlands and pushed
Iacross the stream in the center and
to the south.

man forces are not in close contact
with the retreating Taglidmento army
flor the German official statement says
the retreat is indicated by conflagra-
tons overt the route of the retire
ment. No claim is made by the Ger
mans Of Italians having been made
prisoners.
On plains of Venetia Italian cavalry

al Cadorda to bring his forces TO the

Except for his losses in men and guns

the Italians at present is reported ia

that General COrdona in falling back,

n miles along the Uiave river, east Of
