IN RANGE OF RIVER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. /,
The great battle of the northern
Italian plains is swinging into the
first stages Of its crisis today.
With Won Mackensen's hosts
now within range of the Taglia-
mento river at some points, Gen.
Cadorna must soon indicate his
plan of defense along that line.
Cadorna apparently Is attempt
ing to keep the German command
in doubt about his forthcoming
stand. Only the barest informa-
ton is being given out thru Off
cial channels here today.
Gables indicate the Italians are
making a desperate effort to out
flank the German brigades, taking
advantage of every feature of the
terrain to halt and confuse the
advance of the Teutons.
1t is now believed the high point
in the fighting will not be reached
before Nov. 7 or 8. 1t Is expected
that the struggle will still be in
desperate progress Nov. 10, when
the first great allied conference
with America participating, is held
in Paris.
AS a result of Germany's strike
against Italy an entirely new &;ar
program must be mapped out at
this conference. For some days
there has been growing belief

The Finland is the second trans
port to be attacked while return
ing from it's mission to Europe.
The Antilles on Oct. II was tor
pedoed and sank with the loss of
67 lives.
The dispatch to the nay de-
partment regarding the attack on
the Finland, stated that no sub
marine was seen, as was the case
in the attack on the Antilles.
Whether the Germans are us
ing a new system in hiding their
assaults on transport ships is a
question puzzling naval authori-
ties.
The Finland is 12,7O0-ton

She was formerly a Red Star
liner and was built by Cramps in
Philadelphia in 1902. She is $50

GERMANS ARE CHECKED
(uaited Press Leased Wlre.)

LONDON. Nov. 1.--Austro-Ger-
man forces have reached practical
ly the line of Gen. Cadorna's Tag
liamento river defenses and have
been checked there in their for
ward advance, according to the In
depreciation placed here this after
noon on Berlin's own official state
ment.
The greatest menace to Italian
safety indicated in dispatches was
the thanking movement we'll under
way near the Carnic Alps directed
by an Austrian army under GEN
eral Won Krobatin. This force ls
a desperate thrust to turn
the Italian positions on the upper
course of the Tagliamento.
Success OF such an operation
would threaten the whole Taglia-
mento line and force a further
Italian retirement. possibly to the
line of the Piave river.
In nine days the German-Aus-
trian invasion has seized more
than 1900 square miles OF Aus
trian and Italian territory former
ly held by the Italians and pene-
trated at some places as far as 40
miles from the old positions.
