GERMAN PLAN
HAS FAILED TO
CRIPPLE ITALY
Situation Well in
Hand; Political Conditions
Excellent; Morale Good

Rome, Tuesday. Nov. 6. THE
German plan has failed in regard to
its political object" says semi
official statement issued here to-day.
Strong confidence is felt that it will
fail to accomplish its military OBJ
ject. The military situation, al
though difficult, Is being held in
hand, while the political situation is
excellent. All the living forces of
the nation, without the least dis
couragement, are united for the at
tainment of the supreme aim, Ie-
naming at the side of the allies and
repulsing the threats and caioleries
of the enemy.
Naturally tho military situation
has been overturned completely,
since it has been changed from pro-
gressive penetration to the enemy
territory, aiming at Laibach and
TrieSt into war of maneuVer on the
Venetian plains.
Caused Military Crisis
The retreat CAUSED a military
crisis which gradually is being solved
by the assembling of troops on pre-
Viously esta ablished line and by the
rushing up of Anglo French forces.
While this is being done fighting is
going on all the time so as to delay
as much as possible the advance of
the Austro-GermanS who desire to
take advantage of the situation.
The Italian army faithful to the
orders of its leaders. is fighting with
a morale and n firm spirit
Some time must necessarily
elapse before an equilibrium has been
e-established but all existing condi-
tions give confidence that the fate
of the great battle initiated twelve
days ago will be concluded in our IA
Vor.
The Italians are confronted by an
imposing concentration of the en-
enly's troops and materials, under or
ders of the German general staff,
aiming to obtain on our front a def |
mite decision in the European war
by crushing Italy militarily and also
by an internal political upheaval.
Instead, an unprecedented moral
union throughout the country has
been caused as the following exam |
Piles prove:
The Catholic party voluntarily |
has dropped all polemics regarding !
the answer of Baron Sonnino, the |
Italian foreign minister, to the papal |
note and has declared itself ready 10 |
perform every duty imposed by pa |
triotism.
Even the Obserbatore Romano. |
the papal official organ, has urged I
Catholics fully to accomplish their I
civic duty.
The Confederation of Workmen. |
the whole class, has
published a manifesto urging that the |
mother country be supported by
every means"

Lucien c. Brown, who for several years has been local manager for the Ger mania Life Insurance company, an nounces his resignation. He has become associated with Fowlkes 6 Hogue, gen. eral agents, as agency manager of the Prevalent Life and Trust company of Philadelphia.
 Tt is hard for me to give up the work have been doing for several years" said Mir. Brown yesterday. but I am highly gratified tc be associated with such a great company as the Prevalent Life and to have connections with Fowlkes & Hogue, who are so we'll known in the business.
 Tt is a strange thing. but the prejudice against the name of my old company Germania-has become so strong that it was almost impossible to do any busi ness. As matter of fact, the company was named more than 60 years ago. and is owned entirely by Americans who live for the most part in New York. The men who control the company, however, are descendants of original German people and under present conditions Americans seem to want to do business elsewhere,
