STILL RET|RES
IN GOOD ORDER
Italian Army Continues to Draw
in Its Lines Toward an
Unknown Objective.
CADORNA REMOVED FROM
THE SUPREME COMMAND
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The revolutionary element under
NikOlai Lenine continues to hold thu
Russian capital, but with the attitude
of the Russian soldiers on the vari
GUS fronts regarding its assumption
pf power still unknown.
The Italian armies continue their
retreat across the Venetian plains to
ward the Pave river, where it is
expected a stand will be made, aided
by. achievements from the British
and French armies and suddenly
formed military command which is to
work in conjunction with perman

Of which will be the noted French
general, Foch, and General Wilson,
sub,chief of the British general staff
General Diaz has been placed in chief
command of the Italians.
The reports from Russia still re-
main meager, but those that are drift
ing through indicate that Lenine and
his followers, including the congress
of workmens and soldiers delegates,
are DESTROYS of cessation OF hostili-
ties for three months in order that
efforts may be concentrated upon
bringing about peace.
With the telegraph lines in the
hands of the Bolsheviki faction 1t is
natural to presume that all cOmmuni-
cations emanating from Petrograd
lean toward Lenine and his faction
and their ambitions, but advices from
official and semi-official Russian quar-
tiers in Europe and the United States
tend to lessen the apparent gravity Of
the situation and to indicate that Or

vailing chaos at no distant date.

MESSAGE FROM THE ADMIRALTY
London, Nov. 9.-The British adj
miralty, replying to the German Sec
rotary of the navy's criticism of the
recent speech in the house of COM
mons by Sir Eric Geddes, first lord OF
the admiralty, said:
"The world knows from the Cate
gat eevnts that the royal navy is wait
ing for the high seas fleet, which still
continues to decline battle. No Ger
man war vessel larger than destroy.
er has shown itself to us $50 miles
west of Helgoland from August, 1916,
to September, 1917, when two light
cruisers attacked Scandinavian con-
voy."
The reference to the Cattegat in
the above dispatch deals with the sink.
ing by British warships of the Ger
man auxiliary cruiser Marie and 10
other armed patrol craft, while that
concerning the attack by two German
light cruisers on Scandinavian con-
voy evidently refers to the sinking OF
nine neutral vessels and two British
escorting torpedo boat destroyers in
October in the North sea.
WAR WILL LAST LONG.
London, Nov. 9.-Admiral Baron
Beresford tonight said he believed the
war would be long one. While the
position was serious in regard to Rus
STA and Italy there was no need of
pessimism, he declared. because the
position was not serious in the west
where 1--WE are going to win the war"
The government, he asserted, should
tell the people the truth and get rid
of the secrecy which so far has been
feature of the proceedings. The
submarine menace never would bring
Britain to her knees, he concluded,
but the country would have difficulty
in regard to food in the coming spring
GERMANS TAKE ALAND.

This is the right way to talk. 1t is

The Employer" Theory of Sedition

A peculiar perversion of view pre-
walls among certain number of peo-
pie, who preach pacifsm and denounce
the western governors who have denied
the right of meeting to the Peoples
Council. 1t is that the people are the
masters, the government the servant
which is true enough-and that it is,
therefore, the right of any part of the
people at any time to criticise and con
denim the actions of the government,
even as an employer has at any time
the right to criticise and condemn the
actions of his employe.
The trouble with this proposition is
that it does not define who the people
are. it does not discriminate between
the majority and the minority. 1t does
not recognize that the government is
always supposedly representative of the
majority and that therefore what the
government does is the act of the peo-
pie.
If the right of any individual as part
of the people as one of the personal
fractions of the employer, to criticise
the government, the employe, at any
time and in any circumstances is grant.
