kerensky's warning that Russian al
lies will have to bear the burden of
the conflict while the war-weary ma
tion regains its strength exhausted in
three years Of fighting enemies with

They were met there by Italian ma

Uncertainty exists, however, as to
whether the Italian high command has
planned definite stand on the Taglia-

is intended to afford time for the
preparation of a stronger line at the
Livenza. 10 to Is miles further west
or at the Piaye. approximately 25
miles from the Tagliamento. The next
day or two seems likely to resolve this
doubt.

was learned today While no official
announcement has been made, it is
