PEACE OFFER TO ITALY
GERMANY'S NEXT MOVE

ROME, Nov. at is practically
certain that peace offers by Ger
many and Austria to Italy is a mat
ter of weeks IL not Of days. II Is
evident that this recent German drive
is intended to put Italy out OF the
game for good. There is no ques-
tioning the military success OF the en-,
emy-so FAR.
CadOrna has slipped from his
weighty adversary and stands on
guard-unbeatcn though breathing
hard. The enemy, too. has to take
breath. II remains to be seen
whether he will attempt to push a
military decision on the plains or
thinks he is already in a sufficient
ly advantageous position to launch
a peace offer.
The invaders still have a few
friends in this country. The Of
ficial socialist party caucus has de-
cided It Will not modify its at
titude. Meanwhile. accounts from
all over the country seem to indicate
the answer of real italy Is clean.

FRENCH COMMISSION IN
CAPITAL JUBILANT AT
GREAT FLANDERS DRIVE

The utmost satisfaction with re.
suits already attained by the Anglo
French drive in Flanders is eX-
pressed by the French high commits
sion in an official analysis of the
situation on that front today. The
statement, made public through the
committee on public Information, was
as follows:
Begun on the eth of June by the
brilliant success of the English at
Messines, the battle OF Flanders.
which we might call the new battle
of Ypres. is now nearing the end OF
the fifth month.
"As in the battles OF Ypres in 1914.
there has been realized close Anglo
French cooperation. Though the
largest share OF the effort and of the
success accrues to the British army
on this part OF the front. which is its
old sector. nevertheless a French
army fights vIctoriously with it on
its left.
But, while in 1914 the purpose was
10 resist the formidable German push
directed by the Emperor in person and
aiming at the conquest OF the mari
time bases of Calais, Dunkirk and Bo-
logne. today il is the allies who, in
fiicting severe losses on them. drive
back the enemy on Belgian soil. EX-
actly what these losses are. the Eng
nsh reports, always mouerRte IN their
estimates, undoubtedly give only a
faint idea.
at is not necessary to recall that.
in the battle OF Flanders alone. the
allies have captured up to now 10000
prisoners. of whom 700 are officers.
300 machine guns, and 100 cannon.

ly in white, with white slippers and
wore no coats.
But today is no hot day, and when

ZION today's official report recorded a
Frehch advance to the Ailette river.
The advancing French found the
Germans, in their strategic retreat
had blown up all bridges across this
waterway.
First announcement OF the German
withdrawal in the Aisne sector was
made in last nights official state
ment, which was delayed far beyond
the usual hour OF Issuance. This
night statement mentioned a French
advance over a front of twenty Kill

Further Forward Step.
Today's war office report. fixing the
advanced French line at the Ailette,
indicated a further step forward.
Occupation of Courtecon, Cerny,
ALLIES, and Chevreux in a French ad.
vance over a frontage of thirteen
miles on the Chemin des Danes, was
announced by the war office today
as the result OF the German retreat
fro mthe Aisne sector.
Owing to pressure by the French
infantry and crushing effect of the
French artillery, the Germans have
evacuated the Chemin des Danes"
the statement said.
THE French have advanced over a
front Of twenty kilometers and to
depth OF one kilometer (two-thirds of
q mile)."
Chevreux, courtecon, Cerny, and
ALLIES, now occupied by the French,
are all well beyond the Chemin des
Danes road and the ridge, on the
way to Laon. The cities form a
chain eight miles due south Of Laon
and from Courtroom, on the. west to
Cbevreux. on the east, the total front
they represent is about nine miles.
Most Intense Fighting.
Some OF the most intense fighting
of the war has centered about Cerny
and ALLIES. The French took the line
o fthe Chemin des Danes here after
repeated assaults, and hardly a week
passed from that time until General
Petain's victorious assault far to the
west ten lays ago, that the Germans
did not strive by powerful attacks
TO recapture # .
The four cities now held by the
French are on the northern DOWN
slope Of the ridge along the top OF
which runs the ChemIn des DANES.
From the arc which they represent
out OF LAon, the way Is generally
rolling as opposed to the rather sharp
and broken country on the southern
slope OF the Chemin des Danes ridge.
The terrain, therefore, greatly faVors
the French advance toward Laon.

Texas has lost much OF her Mexi-

VIII Relieve Food sItuatIon.
The food situation probably viii be
relieved through cooperation with
the United States Government. The
Mexicans are grateful for the lifting
Of the embargo on corn, but in return
for that concession the government
below the Rio Grande Is being asked
to remove the export tax on cattle,
so that the United States may add to
its supply of beef. .
The Mexican authorities did not at

matters on q quid pro quo basis, but

Withdrawal Was Expected.

at could, therefore, be expected
that the enemy would try to withdraw
some troops from his eastern front in
order to provide for the battle front
OF Flanders. This he began to do by
sending in September the nineteenth
German. reserve division from the
Riga front to that Of Ypres. It is
possible that other divisions follow
ed. II, therefore, the Germans had
intentions OF availing themselves OF
the last weeks of fine weather to
extend their success at Riga, Jacob
stadt. the battle of Flanders has. per-
haps, prevented IT.
But II is also unquestionabie that
the state OF the Russian army, much
more than the bad season, through
the slackening and even the stopping
OF all active operations, allowed Ger
many to take away troops from its
eastern front to seek elsewhere the
success so necessary both to the Ger.

without counting the large war material.
and will render It still more imperative
for Germany to transfer moro troops to
the French front.
I'VE can therefore conclude that
the strength and the continuity OF the
Anglo-French offensives which have
until this day prevented Germany
from undertaking offensive operations
on a large scale on the Russian front,
will perhaps restrict the help which
Germany could give the Austrian
army on the Italian front. up to such
time as the situation can be retrieved
on this front.
