SOME LONDON PAPERS SEE ONLY
TEMPORARY ADVANTAGE TO
SWIFT SMASH OF ENEMY.
OTHER FEAR RESULTS
Promise of British and French Govern
mcnts 60 Go TO Aid Of Latins Is Hailed
With Satisfaction. and Quick Action
Is Urged.

London. oct. 30.-Ssitisfaction with
the decision OF Great Britain and France
to help the Italians is expressed by
most Of the morning newspapers. which
again urge that whatever assistance Is
possible must be given without delay
II seems TO be the general assumption
that concrete reinforcements contributed
by Great Britain and France will ap-
pear on tie Italian front
The Morning Post contends that the
best way Of helping Italy Is to keep
hammering the Germans on the western
front.
Taking the view that the German sue
cess Is due partly to treachery and that
the Germans are using the same tools
in Italy as those with which the Rus
Sian armies We're betrayed. the Post
declares:
Let our statesmen awake and coun-
ter these activities. This may be OF
more service than any military aid we
can render"
While some commentators today take
q somewhat gloomy view OF the situa-
tion. others believe that the Italians
will recover. and that the Germans will
not gain any permanent advantage.
The Chronicle infers that General
Cadorna has decided TO abandon Udine.
and withdraw to the line OF the Taglia-
mento river. 1t says:
1T is decision of bold prudence.
which ought to have its reward The
enemy's advance will be handicapped
in a manner which will be felt before
long. On the other hand. It is to be
feared the German claim that he whole
Isonzo front has collapsed is to great
extent well founded. When a whole
front falls TO pieces in the manner wit
messed on the Isonzo, it is very diff
cult 10 re-constitute it in the face of
pressing pursuit on a great scale There
viii be no question that the whole
front in Carnia may soon be
mperilled. In short, the allies are con
'ronted with very dangerous situation.
If which we may be seeing only the be-
ginning"
