ITALY NOW PREPARING
FOR BATTLE ON LIVENZA
RIVER TO HALT TEUTONS

LONDON, Nov. e.-Italy's last des-
invasion was apparently impending
today. Both the enemy and defend
ing lines have been drawn face TO
face along the Livenza river. Lon
don expected mOmeL tarify to learn
OF the preliminary battle OF the LIZ
venza in which Cadorna's rear
guards would attampt to administer
a temporary check to the enemy be-
fore Withdrawing to the now fully
prepared Piave river line.
Swiss dispatches reported that Ca
dorna intended meSely to delay the
enemy along the LibHnza, and would
not bring his full strength into the
battle until the Piave positions were
reached. For nearly two weeks the
Italians have been preparing their
positions along this waterway. Pre-
sumably the re-ehforcements in men
and guns sent by British and French
army officers arc held along this
line.
Every dispatch received from Rome
today mentioned the italian with
drawal from the Tagliamento as vol
untary, carried out with precision and
a minimum tof loss. Certainly there
was none OF the precipitancy in the
latest Italian retirement that char
acterized the rout from the Isonzo
positions.
The final decisive battle may start
within a few days.
The Rome cables had q distinctly op-
timistic flavor for the first time IN the
