Italian Headquarters in north
ern Italy, Thursday, Nov. Ia
The floodgatcs of the Piave and
Sile or Old Piave rivers have
been opened by Italian military
engineers, and the enemy is now
faced by another User of inunda-
ton.
The flood was loosed at the
point where the enemy succeeded
in crossing the Piave near Griso-
lera flour miles from the coast)
and the whole region where he
gained lodgment is now under
water. The inundated territory
forms a huge triangle about IL
miles on each side, with the apex
at Dona Di Piave. The enemy
had been driven back, but still
held on within this triangle until
the dykes from both rivers re-
leased the water over the low
lying plain. .'s.,
The chief menace at that point
was that the enemy might be
able to approach Venice through
the lagoon or lombard the city
from his position between the
rivers. The inundation interposes
a.barrier of water IL miles across
and several feet deep. .'.''*
Reports which have reached
headquarters from other points
on the front are also favorable.

EDITOR THE TINES:
l notice in The Times the state
ment that | had "vacillated" about
the armed ship bill, or something
to that effect.
l would like very much to know
what information this statement
is based on in view of the fact that
I supported the bill, probably more
vigorously than any other senator
from the beginning to the end.
II you refer to the fact that
have criticised the president fol
failure to protect the rights, lives
and property of American citizens
whether in Mexico or on the high
seas. during the four years of his
administration have not vacil.
lated on that because my views in
the matter are the same now as
they were during the campaign and
as expressed at various times in
congress.

ident will do something now in
the plan which he proposes and
will certainly back him up in every
way / can in any effort in that di.
rection which he may make.

/ would commit suicide, If l had

Most of us lived to be grown. The

We all married quite well by
