branch. 1t is between these two
streams, in region Of marshes and
lakes. that the Teutons have now driv-
en-, with the object, apparently, of
reaching the roads to Venice west Of
San Dona d Piave. Because this sec
tion Of the front is hardly adapted TO
serious military mannuvres, little dan
ger lies to the Italian front in the new
movement so long as the invaders are
prevented from driving a wedge north
ward into the Italian right flank.
Further north, General Diaz has been
unable to shake loose the grip of the
enemy on the west bank around Zen
son, but so far has kept him from ex-
tending his hold. At three other points
along the Lower and Middle Piave the
bustro-Germans attemDted in VAIN TO-
day TO establish themselves on the op-
posite bank.
The Italian withdrawal on the Ash
ago Plateau left the enemy in posses
sion of Tezze. Lamon. Fonzaso. .4rten
and Feltre. The German command
claimed the capture of Fonzaso and
Feltre on Monday. The new Italian
line is shorter and probably less diff
fcult to defend. The final front of
General Diaz's troops in this sector
probably will be behind the Upper
Brenta. Meanwhile. however. the dan
ger Of the collapse of the Italian left
wing is not lessened appreciably. and
will not be removed altogether until
the Franco British reinforcements ar
rive to brace the whole front.

LONDON, Nov l4.-The military sit
uation in Italy has taken more serious
turn in the last twenty-four hours. The
struggle along the lower Piave and on
the Northern front has reached crit
ical stage, with the Italians battling
desperately to stave off disaster.
On the lower Piave the Austro-Ger-
mans not only have clung to their posi-
tions on the west bank near Zenson. but
have forced new crossing OF the
stream four miles from its mouth. East
of Asiago the Italian line has been with
drawn on a twelve-mile front, surren-
dering to the enemy important heights.
West of Lake Garda the Austrian Gen
eral Conrad is hammering at the de-
tenders lines in a supreme effort to
break through to Brescia and the Plains

Various Reports Indicate
Complete Overthrow of
Bolsheviki
Moscow New Seat
Of the Government
Red Guards Believed to
Have Been Defeated
by Cossacks

While only scanty dispatches, and
these of doubtful reliability, were re-
ceived yesterday, dealing with what is
going on in Russia, all the advices
reaching here agreed that the party of
Kerensky is getting the upper hand
over the Bolsheviki in Petrograd and
has the rest of the country behind it..
A conflict is believed to be raging
in the capital. In Moscow, according
to the Petrograd correspondent Of the
"Berlingske Tidende," a Copenhagen
newspaper, General Korniloff's loyalist
troops have captured the famous fort
ress, the Kremlin, after severe fighting.
Dispatches from a Swedish corre-
spondent at Haparanda, on the Russian
border; from Stockholm, quoting the
Russian Embassy there. and from the
Finnish News Bureaus Stockholm cor
respondent, yesterday agreed that Pre-
mier Kerensky had entered Petrograd
after defeating the Bolsheviki, but
doubt was cast on the freshness of the
news in these kilograms by the fol-
lowing Associated Press dispatch from
Stockholm:
Photographic communication with
Petrograd has been interrupted since
Tuesday afternoon. The cable station
at Nystad, Finland, reports that no re-
sponsc could be obtained from Petro-
grad to its signals. 1t is presumed that
the Petrograd station is occupied by
military forces"
The Finnish Telegram Bureaus ad-
vices were the fullest received yester-
day, but they so closely paralleled Sun
day and Monday dispatches as to sug-
gest they may be delayed version of
the same reports of Kerensky's sue
cess, which were contradicted by the
Dolsheviki announcement Of a victory
near Tsarskoe-Selo, received Tuesday.

Clemenceau
Is Urged For
Premiership
Appointment of Foe of Bolo-
ism Called Logical Step
for Poincaire

PARIS. Nov. 1.-THE Painleve min
istry goes without many regrets, after
having dragged out It's existence for
two months. Its fall had been dis
counted for the last two weeks, but the
abrupt manner of its passing came as a
surprise. The feeling Of the public and
the press is voiced fairly, but bluntly'
bv Gustave Herve. in La Victoire.
He says:
"The conssten: enemy Of ministerial
crises in war time, this is the first oc-
casion upon which this journal has re-
ioiced at the fall of a Cabinet. ad-
nit that | experienced the same anxiety
that passengers or liner feel when
they see that the captain has lost ms
head during a stolm."
All the morning newspapers agree
that what is needed imperatively is a
real leader, but they also say President
Poincare will find it most dificul'
task TO hit upon such man.
Inc name WOsN AiNN"NhN'i
toned is that of former Premier
Clemenceau. IL would be the logical
step on the part Of President Poincare
to offer him the Premiership. as ne
originated the campaign against Bolo-
ism in Parliament. and il was on that
issue that VI. Painleve fell.
"The Tiger" as the former Premier
is nicknamed, would undoubtedly be
welcomed By the general public and
the army. for he is known as the eX-
ponent of the big stick, and it is be-
lieved he would stamp out Boloism
radically and rapidly. That is what
the people desire.
At the same time, N. Clemenceau Is
faced also with the implacable and
openly proclaimed hostility of the
unified Socialists, who never have for
given his drastic methods in dealing
with labor troubles when he was Pre-
mier.
Former Preniiers Viyiani and Bar
thou and Jules Pans, former Minis
ter Of Agriculture, also are spoken OF
i'm connection with the Premiership. As
for former Premier BRAND. his friends
feel il would be better 10 try new
man before appealing TO him.

u. S. Troops Who Bore
Brunt of German Raid
Return Caked With Mud

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 13 (delayed) The
company which bore the brunt of the
recent raid on the Aemrican trenches
has just returned to its billets. Az
retreat this evening this company lined
up in a little muddy street in a village
nesting under a hill some miles from
the front Their clothes were caked
with mud, and the roofs and fences
near by were hung with wet blankets
and equipment.
Openings here and there in the ranks
showed how many men had been killed,
wounded and made prisoners in the
trench fight. After the company was
dismissed an officer Of the battalion
watched the men splash off through
the mud, and said:
There goes the scrappiest bunch of
soldiers. in France. They are mad all
through, and are just biding their time
till they get a chanceto reDay the Ger
mans for what happened 70 their COM
rades. They will get their revenge be-

War Bread Reaches
New York; Greeted
Without a Tremor

"Wheatless Wednesday" became a
stern reality in New York yesterday,
introducing thousands of persons to
we'll camouflaged American war bread.
But the war bread, instead OF prov
ing the horror which writer's in the
belligerent countries Of Europe have
portrayed it, turned out to be nothing
more offensive than well baked, palat-
able rye bread graham bread, corn
bread and oatmeal rolls. Those who
thoughtlessly asked for wheat bread at
the restaurants and hotels beamed with
patriotism when they were reminded
that the day was wheatless.
All the big hotels of the city insugu-
rated Wheatless Wednesday two weeks
ago. but il was not until yesterday that
the most of the restaurants of the city
followed suit. Even the Broadway
cafes. which cater to the midnight
moths of the white light zone. enlisted
in the war for the day and served no
wheat bread.

lie Explains Further

The Premier went into further ex-
planation, saying:
"From the foregoing it will be clear
that the council will have no executive
power, and that final decisions in the
matter of strategy and the distribution
and movements of the various armies
in the field will rest with the several
governments Of the Allies. There will
therefore be no operations department
attached to the council. The permanent
military representatives will derive
from the existing intelligence depart
ments of the Allies all information nee
essary in order to enable them to sub
nit advice to the supreme Allied coun-
Gil.
"The object of the Allies has been to
set up a central body charged with the
duty of continuously surveying the field
Of operations as a whole by the light
of information derived from all the
fronts and from all the governments
and stats. and OF coordinating the
plans prepared by the different general
stats, and, IL necessary, Of making pro-

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 14.-American infantry
men exacted a partial revenge for
trench raid during a recent night by
ambushing large German patrol in No
Mans Land, killing or wounding several
of the enemy.
The American patrol, in which there
were some Frenchmen, arranged the
ambuscade near the German lines on
a she'll ruined farm.
After lying in the mud nearly all
night. the patience of the watchers was
rewarded by the sight Of large Ger
man patrol, its number more than
double that of the French and Ameri-
cans.
The Germans were allowed to pass.
when the Americans and Frenchmen on
their flank opened hot fire from sh@ll
craters and other shelters where they
were secreted.
The Germans were taken completely y
by surprise and bolted, carrying with
them their men who had been hit.
The number of dead and wounded
Germans Is uncertain, Dut none OF the
men in ambush was hit by the bullets
the Germans later sent in from dis
tsnce. There were congratulations all
around when the Americans and French
reentered their trenches.
Patrol work on both sides is becom-
ing more active, as is also the artillery
fire. The Germans during one twenty
four-hour period Of a recent day sen.
over at least three times rs many
shells as on the first days during which
the Americans were entrenched. One
night the firing in the back areas
against the approaches of the COM
munication trenches reached the pro-
portions Of drumfre. 1t was evident
the Germans thought an American
trench relief was taking place. As a
matter Of fact no IeIef was in pro-

U-Boats Sank Only
One Big British
Ship Last Week
Remarkable Drop in Losses
Sets New Low Record
and Amazes Critics

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE most re-
markable drop in British shipping
losses since the intensified submarine
campaign began was recorded last
week. For the second week in success
sion a new low record has been estab-
lished.
Only one British merchant vessel Of
more than 1900 tons was sunk by mine
or submarine, and only five vessels un-
der that tonnage were destroyed, ac-
cording to the official statement issued
tonight. In addition, one fishing boat
was sent down.
Not since the submarine drive began
in February has British shipping es-
capped with even double the tonnage loss
recorded for last week. The lowest pre-
vious mark was that for the week end
ed November 4, when eight ships over
I 500 tons and four under that figure
were sunk. The best mark previous
10 that was for the last week Of Sep
tenber. when thirteen vessels were
sent TO the bottom, but eleven Of these
were of more than | 500 tons.
No reason can be found by naval
critics for the sudden fall in sinkings,
unless the greater part of Germany's
U-boat feet has been withdrawn from
sea for repairing and restocking. Even
that, however, fails TO explain the sit
uation. for many times the majority Of
the U-boats are known to have been
temporarily withdrawn for such pur-
noses. but never with such decisive ef-
feet on the sinkings.
The figures on British merchant ship
,ino loss for each week Of the ruth
