LINES FORMED
FOR BIG BATTLE
Rome Reports Efforts Of Huns to Ef-
feet Crossing Of River Have Been
Frustrated-Germans Hurryins Huns
and Men Into Trentino-May Mean
New Effort to Cut of Portions Of
Italian Army Now on venitian Plains

General cadorna has halted on
the western bank Of the TasIia-r
mento, momentariIy at least, to
face the oncoming Austro- Germans.
The western bank of the river,
Berlin reports, has been cleared
of Italians from the FruiIi valley,
where the TasIiamento turns east
and near ToInezzo, to the Adriatic.
Italian guns are bombing the in
vaders aiong the new line, but ar
parentIy no attempt has been made
yet by the Austro- Germans to
force a crossing of the river.
There are no Indications as TO
the whereabouts of the Austro-
Germans reported driving thru tho
carnic Alps early in the week in
an attempt to turn the flank Of the
TasIiamento. Reports from Swift
zerIand say the Germans are hur-
ryins troops and guns into the
Trentino. This might mean either
to strengthen tho Austrians there
or to start drive south from
Trentino in an attempt to cut off
tho Italians now on the Venetian
plains.

TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY.
kerensky Interview Not indicative Of
Plans For Separate Peace.

kerensky Interview Not indicative Of
Plans For Separate Peace.
London, Nov. 3.--Most of the morn
ing papers print Premier Kerensky's
interview with the Associated Press
conspicuously but the comment is not
general. The Petrograd correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph. who is now
in London, writes:
Premier Kerensky's statement seems
to have been taken a little too serl-
ously in some quarters. It even has
been construed as q hint that Russia
is toying with the idea Of a separate
peace. This theory should not be al
lowed to establish itself"
The writer then tells Of the. immense
sacrifices in men Russia has made and
recalls the revelations In the trial Of
General sokhomiinoff. former minister
Of war, Of how Russian soldiers stood
up with only stones and sticks against
organized German troops. He believes
Russian casualties have been higher
than any ofxthe other main belligerents,
The writer also emphasizes the pri-
vation Of the civilian population.

'HERTLINo TO HAVE SUPPORT.
All But Conservatives and Radical So
cialists to Stand Behind New chanceIIo

All But Conservatives and Radical So
cialists to Stand Behind New Chancellor
Copenhagen, Nov. d The German
emperor, in rescript to DR.. Michaelis,
the retiring chancellor. expresses a de-
! sire to employ him further in imperial
service. 1t is understood that DR.. Mi
perial office, for which his qualifica-
tions are admitted generally.
Foreign correspondents say that
Count Won Hertling has succeeded in
establishing satisfactory working ar
rangements with all parties except the
socialists and conservatives. Even the
socialists. altho not abandoning the at
titude Of reserve. can be counted upon
to make no difficulties for the new gov
ernment, unless unforeseen conditions
develop.
In the reichstag the conservatives
alone maintain an adverse attitude to-
ward the incoming chancellor. Chan
cellor Won Hertling evidently will have
behind him at the start at least the
united support Of all parties in the
reichstag except the conservatives and
radical socialists. AS in countries with
the parliamentary system. he will be
started on his way with a formal vote
of confidence from the majority OBJ
tanned after his speech outlining his
policy.
According to the chancellor's organ.
the Germania, the reichstag will be
convoked in mid November, especially
to listen to the declaration Of the new
head Of the government. An interpola-
tion will be the occasion Of the speech.
because the rules Of the reichstag per-
NIT the members to register their opin-
ions Of the government after an inter-
polation debate.
Berlin political writer's agree in pre-
dieting that Philip 'Scheidermann and
his socialist followers. who. 1t was
feared, would withdraw from formal
membership In the majority block. and
also the national liberals, who never
definitely entered 1t, will form part Of
the new coalition majority.

Washington. Nov s.-Twelve men
all the crew of the picket boatiof the
battleship Michigan-were lost when
their little craft foundered in home
waters. In brief announcement of
the disaster today the navy department
gave no details Of place. Presumably
the fast little picket boat was on patrol
duty and foundered in heavy sea OF
met with some accident.
Three bodies have been found and in
asmuch as all the others are missing
the navy department assumes that all
were lost. With the casualty list the
department made this formal an
nouncement: ~
that on Oct. 80 the picket boat Of the
United States ship Michigan foundered.
Apparently the entire crew was lost.
The finding Of the bodies Of three Of
the crew and the failure to find any
other trace Of the boat or its occupants
leads the department to believe that
all were lost"
