Large RecessiOns In
Wall Street Today

New York, Oct. 3O.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
A substantial accumulation of selling
orders overnight and lack of buying
power to meet them readily caused
further recessions of large proportions
in today's stock market. At midday
the trading died down and definite
stiffening tendency developed, after
losses had run from one to six points in
both the industrial and railroad de-
partments. Prices gradually climbed
back toward the Monday closing level,
but business was sluggish to a degree
and pointed to a scarcity of supply
rather than to buying initiative.
Despite anxiety over the Italian stu
alton and hesitation which invariably
precedes the quarterly meeting of the
United States Steel directors, scheduled
for today, after the close of the market,
sentiment in Wall street was materially
better than yesterday.

May Change Course Of War.

London, Oct. 30Italy $ invasion may
change the whole war plan of the al
lies. The tremendous success gained by
the Maekensen war machine is spur
ring the allies to the greatest efforts
to help their ally, two of whose arm
its now seem to have been broken by
the blows of the Teutonic forces.
AS evidencing effect of the Italian
debacle on the general war plans of
the entente, the greatest significance
was attached today to an article in the
Pail Mall Gazette which that newspa-
per emphasized as from authoritative
sources.
"At this moment of the utmost grav
ity to the whole alliance;" the arti-
Gle declared, cit is test of strength
and ability to strike together. 1t is no
longer a question of major and minor
fronts-the front is where the danger
is greatest and where the advantages
of a speedy, definite smashing returp
blow can produce the best results.
1.-THE whole war is in the balance.
The decisive moment should be seized
without fear, delay or reservation. -
General Cadorna is expected to make
his stand on the Tagliamento line. I'm
til that front is reached London does
not expect any other than news of
sweeping German successes. Today
military experts were prepared to hear
of the Italian evacuation of Udine.
The main apprehension here was that
| if the Isonzo front has completely dis
solved, it will be an exceedingly diff
ficult matter to delay the German ad-
vance sufficiently to prepare the Tag
liamento line for the tremendous blow
it is believed this front must with
stand. Before the "last stand' is
reached, however, it is likely the eff
feet of strong allied resistance may be
felt.
Not one newspaper today minimized
the danger of the Italian situation. All
agreed the German victory means sew
eral months continuation of the war.
Bdst information from Italian, as
well as Swiss sources, put the number
of Mackensen IS invading troops at
100000. Practically every one of these
certainly all the German troops
were drawn from the Russian front.
So were most of the thousands of guns
with which the Teutons literally blaz-
ed their way forward.
The German activity around Riga
recently is now explained as heavy
"feint' to draw attention there and
make the allies believe that concen-
tration of German forces for land
drive on PetrQgGad was in prospect.
! The German artillery concentration.
was over front of about twenty miles
according to German newspaper cores
pondents. It's intensity has not been
approached heretofore on the Italian
line. Not only that, but the Germans
turned loose thousands of tanks of a
type of poison gas entirely new to the
Italians and which 1he Italian gas
masks did not properly filter,
Italy has apparently checked the
rapid progress of the German armies
on the Venetian plains, but they were
still advancing today, taking more Ital
ian villages.

Crisis is Neared

Washington, Oct 30-The turning
point in the great struggle between
General Cadorna IS Italian forces and
the invading Teutons on the plains of
North Italy will come within week,
official Rome cables declared today.
1t will take Cadorna at least six or
seven days to withdraw to the Taglia-
mento line and consolidate his forces
there, the cables say. By that time
heavy reiuforcements from the allies,
both in men and munitions, are expect
ed to check the Huns.
To prevent organized preparation
for a turn on the Teutons, however,
Won Mackensen is forcing his troops
day and night. Kaiser Wilhelm is ex-
pected to join Emperor Karl at the
front Immediately to urge further
haste. All dispatches indicate Germany
is playing her last trump card in an
effort to force an end of the war
through Italy.
1t is officially declared here that po-
litieal conditions in Italy are improv-
ing under the crisis. The leading Ital-
ian newspapers are calm, the cables
show.
"It is too early to describe the re-
suit of the Struggle, " says the Ido I
Nazionale. "It is now Italy's duty
and honor to sustain this big offensive.
And she is doing so with perfect con
fidenee that she will be able to show
herself worthy of her destiny, and the
Iconfidenee of her allies.
Italy's cabinet crisis, official cables
add. has been virtually settled under
demands for instant action to repel the
Hun invaders. Sonnino will be retain
ed as minister of foreign affairs, with
Bissolatti and Nitti holding important
lpodtfohos under Prime Minister Or
lando.

ian population will be the big task Of

NOTRE DAME TO PLAY
WEST POINT SATURDAY
Looks Bright For Army
Some Other Big Games Are
Commented On
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 30-On the plains of
West Point, they IL take an afternoon
off Saturday and put on the big service
exhibition of the year. Notre Dame IS
husky football eleven will be the oppon-
ents of Elmer Oliphant that afternoon
and army s hardest test is certain to de-
velop in the first big contest between
east and west this season.
East and west tangles in this foot
ball year are going to be skimpy. With
the traditional big games out of it, cast
ing for all-Ameriean material is going
to be heavily endowed with considera-
tion of western favorites. The coming
game should be productive of a great
deal of comparative study.
Notre Dame fell before Nebraska and
then smothered the heavy South Dako-
ia eleven. Michigan walloped Nebraska.
Aerial attack has even been the forte
of Notre Dame, but the fact that Neb-
raska was able to call halt on these
tactics speaks well for the army's chan
ces. If anything, the army's versatile
style of play should pe even more eff
fective against the Indiana eleven than
was Nebraska. for the Cadets always
have had some few shucks at open tae-
ties themselves. And, in 0liphant, they
have one of the greatest line smash
ers.
The following Saturday, Michigan,
given credit for being the greatest Mich
igan bone erusher in recent years will
visit Philadelphia to play Pennsylvania
university. Thus, two OF the west S fin
est will be in action on eastern fields
within two weeks Pittsburgh already
has been among those present with dis
astrOus results appended to the outcome
for the opposition.

SILK WORM HARD WORKER
Goes Through immense Number of

and looks for good place in which it

its head and forelegs and climbs up

what seems suitable, usually twig of

with rough tangled fibre, termed ire

long, continuous thread of silk, NOV
ing its head from side to side, and
bending it backward over its body so
that the silk is wound all about itself,
forming an oval-shaped cocoon, which
when completed is about the size of
pigeons egg.
The silk in single cocoon is some
400 feet or more in length. In doing
its wonderful weaving the silk worm
makes a movement covering 1915 of

length of the thread, 1t follows that

higher this close growth gave place
to more open forest with here and

striking feature of the Touggour
forest is the number of large dead
trees still standing. In fact, large
trees in full vigor without dead
branches are rare until the summit is
reached. The great drought of 1875
1881 is said to have wrought havoc
with the cedar forests of Algeria, and
l suppose that these dead trees now
standing are witnesses of that time.
There is no doubt that cedar of the
Atlas and that of Lebanon and Asia
Minor are only varieties of the same
species, which now linger only in the
mountains of northwest Africa, Cy-
prus. Palestine and Asia Minor. The
deodar of the Himalaya is also some
what more distinct variety of the same
species.
The scattered colonies of the cedars
have given rise to the hypothesis that
the Atlas mountains We're once contin-
uous across the Mediterranean with
the mountains of Cyprus, and that the
cedar, together with certain other
plants, used this land bridge Cor its
extension from the east to the west
1t is more probable, however, that the
cedar is an ancient species which
once occupied mountainous regions all
around the Mediterranean when the
climate was colder than it is now and
it was able to live below its present
limit of height. 1t has died out in the
intermediate regions even as it now
seems to be dying out in Palestine.
