Of the old days on The Sun under

AS a matter Of fact. newspapers
in the reporting Of news are more
reliable now than they ever we're in
the days of Dana, although perhaps
less interesting. The big news gath

have arrived. and an allied board OF
strategy has replaced General Cad
orna, who was in supreme com
mand. There is every indication
that the stand win be made on the
banks Of the Piave river. about
twenty miles from Venice. Both for
military and sentimental reasons,
the Italians will defend Venice as
long as it is possible. The Piave
should be reached by the invaders

mans and Austrians find it advis-

British In Palestine. &
In Palestine the return of more
favorable weather has brought a
new offensive by the British. and ii
is meeting with such success that
the occupation of Jerusalem is a
possibility Of the near future.
The seacoast city of GAIA has
fallen. and the British have pushed
north from Beersheba. They are
operating in conjunction with the
Arabian. forces. and soon should
effect a union with the British
forces pushing north and west from
Bagdad. This would establish a
line across Turkey in Asia from the
Black sea to the Mediterranean al
Palestine. This would put all the
rich valleys of the Tigris and
Euphrates in British hands, and
shorten to one-half or one third the
present British lines. The Turks
arc reported to be retreating north
ward, harassed by airpIanes, and
by the naval forces on their flank. If
Cooperation could be counted on
from the Russian forces. the move
ment easily might threaten Con-
stantinople.
The Passchsndssls Ridge.
The Importance of the capture of
the Passchendaels ridge in FLANDERS
cannot be overestimated. The
British have a great concentration
of forces in Flanders, and against
them and the French are the pick
of the German troops. Along the
Fasschendaele ridge the British are
now entrenched. and before them in
the Roulers plain are the Germans
The positions are reversed from

the Germans must dig themselves
into the mud under the continuous
fire Of the greatly superior British
artillery. The British are in a posi-
tion to advance further or to inflict
terrific punishment on the Germans
as long as they hold their present
exposed positions. And any further
retreat means the REIMBURSEMENT OF
the Belgian coast. 1t is slow work
and does not compare with the ad-
vance Of the Teutons in italy from
q spectacular standpoint, but it may
prove a more costly maneuYer to
Germany than the Italian retreat i

The War For the Week

Without attempting to minimize
! in any degree. the serious nature
Of the wef news for the week. it is
not all gloom. The clouds have a
silver lining.
There are FIVE outstanding feat
ures to the news Of the week: Rus
sia, Italy, Palestine, Flanders and
the submarine.
The seriousness of the Russian
situation cannot be overlooked. The
chief comfort Is that the mischief
has been done and already dis
counted in large part. Russia's on
ly value TO the Allies during the
] last few months. has been the fact
that she kept a large number Of
German and Austrian divisions
guarding her long border line. These
men were for the most part. the
reserves and the less efficient troops.
The Germans evidently had an
inkling Of the approaching revoiu-
tion-in fact there is little doubt
but that they brought it about-for
they withdrew many more divisions
/ from the Russian front for the
italian campaign. The long line
! from Riga to Rumania is now so
/ thinly held that it is little more
than policed. The approach of VIM
| ter and the complete disorganiza-
tion Of Russia. makes it possible FOR
the Germans to ignore this theater
OF the war almost completely.
The Maximalists will have no diff
fculty negotiating an armistice with
Germany. That is what Germany
has been scheming for since before
! the revolution. An arnistice un-
doubtedly will be promptly granted
II the Maximalists are able TO es-
tablish themselves. It would re-
lease more troops for the western
fronts and leave the gallant little
Rumanian army at the complete
mercy Of the Germans. II would
also open the way for the renewal
Of trade between Russia and Ger
many, and perhaps make available,
large supplies of Russian wheat.
The Silver Lining.
Those are the clouds, and they are
black ones. but the silver lining is
this: There is still a very strong
possibility that the Petrograd out
break will not be supported by Rus
sia at large. Charles Edward Rus
sell, one Of the best informed men. in
America on Russian affairs, says the
MAximalists can no more control
Russia than the I. w. w. can con-
troll America. The outbreak may
rally the loyalists to the standard OF
the KeFenslxy government, and
strengthen 1t ultimately.
Also the supplies Of food from the
interior of Russia cannot flow free-
ly at once. Food Is plentiful
through the fertile plains OF Siberia,
but the people of the big cities have
been starving because OF the COM
plete. Generalization Of the Rus
sian railroads. Russia is q country
OF vast distances, and with winter
coming on the problem is intensi-
fed. 1t will take months to restore
