KAISER LINES
IN WEST SAPPED
SECRETARY BAKERS WEEKLY
REVIEW OF WAR.
BIG DRIVE ON ITALY FAILS
Offensive Against Latins Was Made in
an Attempt to Extricate Teuton
Armies on the Western Front,
Says Report.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Declaring
that 'the week just closed has been
one very favorable to the allied arms, "
Secretary of War Newton d. Baker in
his weekly review of war conditions
paid high tribute to both the British
and Italian arms. .......a.
Germany, he declares, took the of
fensive in Italy to extricate herself
from the increasingly difficult position
In which the German arms find them
selves on the west front. This has
failed, the secretary says. Summing
up the result and the outlook, Mr..
Baker says:
1T is the wastage of the enemy
forces, the slow, yet relentless sapping
of the man power by continued and
sudden offensive thrusts, which must
eventually result in the softening of
his line in the west. This is the ulti-
mate objective of the series of inten-
siye offensives so successfully pur-
sued by the allies during the past six
months and is even more important
than the gain In territory"
Favorable to Allies.
The complete review as made pub
lie by the secretary is as follows:
The week just closed has been one
very favorable to the allied armies.
"The success of the British offen-
sive in the region of Cambrai and the
steady resistance of the Italians in the
face of repeated attacks of the Austro-
German forces are two factors which
may be considered as co-relative ele-
ments of one and the same movement.
''It is evident that the enemy took
the offensive in Italy, hoping thereby
TO extricate himself from the increas-
ingly difficult position in which his
forces find themselves in the west.
Sought to Check Drives.
"The German higher command were
apparently confident that, in order to
save Italy from invasion, such i'm
portant contingents of French and
British troops would be detached from
the western front as to render any
further allied offensive In this theater
Impossible.
Though the French and British
have both dispatched large contin-
gents TO Italy, this has in no way
hampered the continuance Of their Of
fensive operations.
1T is the wastage Of the enemy
forces, the slow, yet relentless. sap
ping of his man power by continued
and sudden offensive, thrusts, which
must eventually result in the soften
ing Of his line in the west.
This is the ultimate objective of
the series of intensive offenses so sue
cessfully pursued by the allies during
the past six months,- and is even more
than the gain of terrain.
THE military situation is dominated
by the spectacular success gained by
the British forces in their thrust TO-
ward Cambria.
Praises British Strategy.
'By adopting new tactical methods,
by evolving a strategy daringly con-
ceiyed and brilliantly executed, the
British forces have been able to record
a greater success, when measured by
captured terrain, than any hitherto
achieved by either belligerent in the
same space of time along the western
front"

"Blondy" Cashin, Georgetown's vet

ketball team for the remainder Of the
season. as he has quit college to en-
ter the army service. Despite the alb
sense or Casnin and Henry 0BOyfe,
Georgetown's guards of last season.
the basketball quint boasts OFFS a to
10 victory over Mt. st. Joseph's Col.
lege today.
The visitors appeared last night on
the hilltop and failed to show any
thing out OF the ordinary in basket
ball. Georgetown's coach was expect
ing a tough battle and was more or
less disappointed that the st. 10 lads
were so weak.
Seventeen minutes elapsed in the
first half before st. 10 got anything
that looked like q basket. Berger
shot one from the floor for the WISH
tors. Georgetown has rolled up thirty
points with Jim McNulty and Freddy
Fees in the mood to score.
John O'Reilly held back the Hilltop
pers in the second half despite the
cover-up tactics OF the visitors. Many
subs were given a chance on the blue
and gray lineup. OLone, last years
captain, covered the floor well, but
was not up to his usual standard in
shooting. Keresey and Lonschack
guarded well at all times.
Berger, the visitors center, was the
only player TO get more than one
floor goal. Monohan, Derivieux,
Smith, Morris. and Cans got into the
game for the Hilltoppers.
