CAVALRY COVERING RETREAT
Making Brilliant Fight Against
Advance Guards of the
strO-Germans.
CAD0RNA SHORTENING FRONT
Also Giving British and French
Time to Send Up Strong
Reinforcements.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-In great arc
more than one hundred and sixty
miles in length the Italian armies are
falling back upon and thru the plains
of Venetia to a new and shorter line
of defense.
From the Fella valley to the head
Of the Adriatlc sea the entire line CT
the Tagliamento river has been given
up by General Cadorna, while from
virtually the border of Trentino north
eastward and eastward thru tie Dolo-
mites and the Carnic Alps to the Fel.a,
the northern army Is carrying out a
retreat southwark thru the mountain
Gus country toward the plain. Th,
Germans and Austro- -Hunsarians
everywhere are following up the Ital-
ians in their retreat but with the Ital-
ians offering resistance in rearguard
actions along the entire front.
The decision Of the Italians to evac-
uate the Tagliamento line was taken
after the enemy had intensified his
pressure along the upper reaches of
the river I'm the highlands and pushed
across the stream In the center AMI
to the south. This compelled a simul-
taneous withdrawal along the north
ern front from tho Fella valley to Col
bricon.
Apparently the main Austro- Ger
with the retreating Tagliamento army
for the German official says the re-
treat is indicated by conflagrations
over the route of retirement.
No claim is made by the Germans of
Italians having been made prisoners.
On the plains the Italian cavalry is
doing the same effective work II did
in retarding the enemy during the
first eight days of the retreat from the
Isonzo when it held Teutonic advance
guards and permitted General Cadorna
to bring his forces to the west bank
of the stream virtually intact except
for his losses in men and guns during
the first made rush. The morale of
the Italians at present Is declared to
be splendid.
The probability now seems to be
that General Cadorna is falling back
with the double purpose of shortening
his battle front from approximately
16O miles to slightly more than sixty
miles-along the Piave river east of
Venice and northwesterly to the Tren-
tino boundary-and giving the British
and French reinforcements the oppor-
tunity to arrive in sufficient numbers
to check the invaders

GERMANY FEARS FOR TRADE

Tcufon COmmcrcC

COPENHAGEN, Nov. e.-An in
creas'ng amount of attention is de-
voted by the newspapers to the grow
Ing difficulties Of re>establishing
German foreign trade after the war.
Articles IN serious newspapers even
of pan-German views are found al
most every day in which 1t is pointed
oUt that diplomatic breaks with China
and Central and South American re-
publics means the loss of Sermany's
hard won commercial position In
these markets and increase the diff
ficulties of the uphill fight to rebuild
the foreign trade after the war.
The thot that German shipping
might he barred or restricted In the
ports of Germanys present enemies.
which has long been scoffed at by
shipping and export experts, has now
come home to the business world as
a real menace.

While In Germany, OF course, | did
not hear so much about the Zeppelin
raids and the U-boat outrages as l
have since 1 came home. But | did
hear enough to realize that the rest of
the world must be indignant about
them and to question Germans, as far
as 1 could. about their opinion of
them.
l found the majority of Germans
complaisant about the raids, but fear
full that England might retaliate.
They admit that 1t is a pity women
and children have to be killed in this
way at would be terrible II the Eng
lish came here and dropped bombs
down on u.s." they say. But they eX-
cuse 1t all on the grounds that the war
must be finished, and that, no matter
what means are taken to bring about
this consummation, they are justified
by the end sought for.
There again one meets that peculiar
turn of the German mind, that, altho
q thing is wrong, IL Is excusable when
done for German profit.
The people would hold big rejoic-
ings when the reports Of successful
Zeppelin raid would be sent thru the
empire. But, mingled with these re-
joicings, the women would pity the
women and children who had to die.
Don't Hear Of Outrages.
1t was the same way with the
U-boats when they torpedoed Defense
less vessels altho 1t is hard TO make
the Germans believe that the vessels
were defenseless. They think most of
the torpedoed vessels carried guns.
And, as regards the news dispatches
telling how Germans fired on the life
boats of sinking vessels, how they
stripped English and Belgian sailors
and left them TO drown-these things
the German people never hear. l have
heard of them only since l have been
home.
l can safely say from my own OBJ
servation, that the great mass of Ger
man people are kept in ignorance of
much of the frightfulness which the
Germans have deliberately practiced.
The people, the ordinary people |
met, I mean, seemed to take to heart
more the destruction of towns than
human beings. "There can be more

JAPANS MENACE
NOW ELIMINATED
Claims to Certain interests in
China Are Recognized by
United States.
FORMAL AGREEMENT SIGNED
The Pan-American Doctrine Of
Hands Off Recognized;
War Plans Perfected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Formal
announcement today OF the agreement
between the United States and Japan
In regard TO China was greeted In
diplomatic and official circles as one
of the momentous events OF the war
period. Its effect Is expected to be far
reaching both upon future develop
ments in the far east and upon the
prosecution of the war against Ger
many.
In addition to the notes exchanged
between Secretary Lansing and VS.
count Ishii, the special japanese am
bassador. recording an agreement rec
ognizing Japan's special interest in
China, guaranteeing the Independence
and territorial integrity OF China and
reaffirming the "open door" policy, IL
a announced that a satisfactory un-
derstanding has been reached as to
military, naval and economic CO.
operation.
Glands Off" Doctrine.
Formally 1t is explained that this
agreement Is in no sense an applica-
ton of the Monroe doctrine to the
orient. but instead is rather an ap-
plication of the pan-American doc
trine of "hands off" 1t does not alter
the Root -Takahlra "open door" agree
ment I'm any way, tho 1t supplements
1t.
No American principle has been
sacrificed in the agreement In the
opinion Of officials, as the United
States government itself In the cases
of Mexico, Cuba and other American
republics and In the Monroe doctrine
itself has been foremost In the asser-
ton of the doctrine of special privi-
leges by reason of the geographic and
economic relations.
Japan's Special Interests.
Japan has Special interests of n
semipoltical nature In Shantung,
which province she wrested from Ger
many early In the present war by
reason OF It's vicinity to Port Arthur,
to Korea and to the Japanese islands.
Also the prosperity of the great island
of Formosa and It's successful admin
istraton by Japan is dependent
largely upon conditions In the
Chinese province of Flu Kien, separat-
ed only by narrow strait.
Japanese railway concessions In
Manchurla also are regarded as
proper objects of special Japanese in
terest. not TO detail large privately
owned japanese business enterprises
In China proper. The vital import
ance to Japan Of the maintenance In
China of a strong government capable
of affording protection against inter-
nal violence and against the insidlous
efforts OF hostile foreign intrigue for
such japanese interests is freely ad-
mitted by American officials. hence
the Willingness to consummate this
agreement.
Tho only limited at In Secretary
LanslnR's statement. II is known that
the Germans had calculated to
weaken the American campaign
against Germany in Europe by oblig-
ing the Washington government to
maintain In Pacific waters large
naval fleet to guard against an inva-
sion from Japan.
