GERMANS ARE
JUST ACROSS
RIVER FROM !
ITALIANS
HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTLING
IN PROGRESS; WHAT CADORNA
WILL DO NOT KNOWN
(By Associated Press.)

Teuton and italian artillery are
battling on the Tagliamento river,
Blu, whether Cadorna expects to
make final stand there or attempt
to check the enemy until he has es-
ablished line farther back is un-
certain. Evidently the Austro-G Ger
mans expected to try to cross the
soon.
Italian forces are now behind tho
Tagliamento river from the Carnic
Alps to the Adriatic while the Teu-
tone reached the eastern bank of the
river. The Teutons captured impor.
tant bridgeheads on thirty-mile
front but official statemens do not
state II they crossed he river. Nor Is
II certain Cadorna will make a de-
termined stand here. He could check
invaders with comparatively small
forces at the river while firmly es-
tablishing a line on the Piava river
twenty-five miles farther back. Itai.
ians doubtless have destroyed bridges
after taking a major portion of their
forces across.

WHEN WILL THE WAR END?
Mobile Register)

(MODllo ReglStor)
During the first week of August,
1914. it was rather generally under
stood that the war would be over IN
three months. The fellow who ex-
pressed q belief that it would last six
months was a first-water pessimist.
The Oessimists outguessed the others
but not because they were pessimists; |;
just little luck.
And now the word is being quietly
sent around that the war will be end
ed during the coming spring, as soon
as the next big push starts.
The leading defect in most Of these
guesses is a failure to take any con-
sideration of Germany.
Germany has already stated its be-
lief that America will not be able to
get enough men and munitions in the
field Germany believes that we can
not built ships fast enough. And
British officers are constantly impress
sing upon us the opinion that ships
are needed. We are not building
ships rapidly enough. I
Germany was starving last spring.
and would not be able to put its army
through another winter; but the dead
of winter is approaching, and Ger.
many's lines are holding we'll. The
internal affairs of that empire are In
a turmoil, but Germany's army goes
on fighting. A German officer is
bound and shot by his men, but that
is only spot in long line Of fighting
the rest of the line is holding.
This war will not end in one BID
push in the spring. It will not be end
ed because we have over-subscribed q
liberty bond issue. >.t
The men who are handling the de-
tails of this combat for the allies are
making calculations based upon q five
year expectancy Of war. America has
moved but few of her men to the
training camps in France. The ships
are not at hand to make any great
movement
