AN ACTIVE MARKET
 FOR OLD RAILROADS
(New York Sum

If the war has done nothing else for certain Wall street men who have been playing the railroad game-and the chances are that it has performed many miracles for them-it has cre- ated a bullish market for any old rail roads they may have had on hand for some time. The long and hungry arm of war has reached out into America and Canada in search of surplus and unused railroads and the plains and junkyards of the two countries have

nlent Showing Great Work

London, Oct. 29.-Thirteen million
have crossed and recrossed the seat
during the three years Of the war-and
only $500 Of these have been lost, Pre-
mier Lloyd George told the house OF
commons this afternoon in lauding the
work Of the navy.
"The navy has also safeguarded the
transportation of twenty-five million
tons of explosives and fifty-one million
tons of eoal,'' the premier continued.
"The navy is the anchor of the allied
cause; if it loses its grip the hopes of
the alliance are shattered"
Lloyd George moved the thanks of
parliament to the fighting forces.
A great crowd assembled in the gal
leries and there was a big attendance
on the floor for the prime minister IS
speech.
Lloyd George warmly lauded General
Haig and General Maud, British com
mander-in-chief Of the Mesopotamian
forces, and paid enthusiastic tribute to
the dominion forces Of the empire.

Washington, Oct. 29.-General Ca

Cordona is now making a tremendous
Ietfort to save the third Italian army,
stationed at the gulf of Trieste s end
of the italian lines, the cables added.
Cadorna IS decision to fall back ap-
proximately 60 miles to the Taglia-
mento river means that he has found it
necessary to sacrifice a strip Of ter
ritory-60 miles wide at it's widest
point-stretching As miles along tho
Gulf of Trieste and extending north

larger cities included in the territory
which will be given up are Udine, Tar
cento and particularly Cividale, where
all italian stores and ammunition have
been held in reserve. Much of this ma
terial already has been destroyed.
italians Will Hold
There is no fear among italian Off
cials here that the Italian line will
not hold. Grave doubts are voiced, how
ever, as to the morale of the people
back of the lines.

London Rejoicing
Over America Taking
Active Part In War

London, Oct. 29.-The British press
came as near rhapsodizing as the Brit
ish could be expected to rhapsodize to-
day over the Americans II French
trenches and the American gunners in
action.
All the newspapers agreed the news
was more than mere picturesque event
but all also held it was idle to expect
that Germany would appreciate the full
meaning.
"Because America is now in, it does
not mean by any means that we should
not heed further efforts,o said the
Daily Express in typical editorial. "It
does mean, however, that the long de-
layed victory is assured"
London newspapers got their first
details of the American Sammies in the
trenches in dispatches from j. W. Peg
Ter, United Press staff correspondent,
sent by the United Press to its Lon
don clients.

LOSSES B YITALLANS
LARGEL Y.EVENEUUP
BY WEST FRONT GAINS

Washington, Oct 29.-While predict
ing another strategic retreat by the
Germans on the west front, Secretary
of War Baker 8 weekly war review to-
day admits that "Italy is passing
through a difficult moment.''
No indication is given as to what
the allied war. chiefs may do to relieve
the gigantic pressure of Hun hordes
sweeping over the plains of Italy. Ba-
ker's report apparently was prepared
before the Austro-German thrust as
sumo its present critical proportions.
1t outlines as the foremost deveopments
of the week the British and French ad-
vances on the west front.
Anticipating important deveop-
lments, soon, the report states that
any strategic retirement by the Ger
mans in the west woud now be under
conditions less favorable than hereto
fore.
The allied superiority is increasing
ly apparent, the statement adds. There
lis a steady rise in the enemy casualties.
Russia, Baker adds, is apparently
consolidating her resistance and he be-
lieves the Germans will probably not
try to do more than strengthen their
Riga holdings now.
The statement follows:
Renewed activity prevails in all
theaters of war.
Important developments would ap,
pear to be impending.
"Along the western, eastern and
italian fronts, in Macedonia, Rumania,
Mesopotamia and even in East Africa,
significant operations are in progress.
Allied Drices Stronger
1T is evident that the allied drives
along the western front are broaden
ing in scope and intensity. The whole
front from the Houthulst wood, thru
the Passchendaele ridge, southwark to
Lens on on to the Aisne, is becoming
the scene of increasingly heavy allied
pressure, which the enemy. is with
standing with difficulty.

With the French Armies in Flanders
Oct. 29.-Three 15-inch shells, fireC

squarely on their target of a German
blockhouse at Papegoed wood and. per

way to a victory in the latest Franco
British advance Ill Flanders.
1t was this marvelousiy accurate
shooting last Friday which opened the
way for the French smash. A great
egnt- -chambered concrete blockhouse in
the center of Papegoe0 wood had long
eld up further French advance. Finally,
French aviators ranged" it. Huge
French guns fired just three of their
enormous shells at this range. The first
missile was close to it; the second shat
tered the solid concrete and the third
passed inside. Practically all of the gar
Ilson in this formidable defense were
killed.
Survivors 0razed.
The few forlorn and crazed men who
did survive of the sixty German soldiers
of the 181st infantry staggered into the
French lines, deaf and dumb from shell
shock. Their clothing had been stripped
from them; some were fearfully mang-
led. The stamp of an inexpresible horror
was on their drawn faces. Reduction
of the blockhouse enabled the French
engineers, working neck-deep in ST..
JanasBeek and Coverbsek rivers to
throw up bridges and trestles along
which French infantry later charged
to brilliant victory.
These charging troops were borne
along with the irresistible force ofImen
fighting like fiends to throw back an
enemy and see their own homes just
beyond. Most of the French regiments
now on this line are from Lille and
other cities close to the present fight
ing lines. Many left their loved ones
behind to answer mobilization calls
and have not heard from them since.
Bavarians Cut to Pieces.
These men performed superhuman
fighting feats. Hand-to-hand in bloody
fighting they beat back the Germans,
half swan through morasses and held
tenaciously to their gains, despite every
effort German couAter-attackers made.
On Saturday just an incident of this oc-
Cured. The French had cut their way
for deep gain. The whole Bavarian re-
serve division was thrown into the fray
to check them. 1t failed. The victorious
Poilus literally cut it into slivers.
As result of the past week s steady
advance along the Dixmude the French
today are eneircling both the west and
south sections of Houthulst forest. That
bit of what used to be woodland is the
center of the German resistance still
holding to Flanders. On the southeast,
