The battle front has two main sec

to the sea and the upper from Feltre
westward. The Nidor bridge, where
the last Italian rear guards crossed the
Piave, is half way down the lower sec
tor.
Near Feltre the river turns into the
mountains, with q valley, and a railway
ON the west bank. The enemy is on
the west bank In this mountain region
and may attempt to come down the
valley along the railway. The Ital-
ians have no advantage Of a river de-
tense at this point, but they have
strongly entrenched themselves.
The fight at Asiago was clearly

Washington Dispatch, Get. 2.
Revival of the grade Of full gen

It was learned tonight that Score

FOR the title of general to be held by
the officer serving as chief OF statf
and the making of several lieutenant

eral Pershing, to the Senate military
committee and that legislation car
rying it into effect is to be pressed
for prompt passage when Congress
re-converes in December.
But four American army officers
have borne the title of general
Washington, Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan-aEd only few have been
lieutenant-g generals. Since General
Sheridan died in 1888 the rank of
general has been extinct. No provls-
ion for acknowledgement on the
active list has been made since Lieu,
tenant General John c. Bates retired
in 1906 though there are three Of
ficers of that grade on the retired
list-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Gen. Sam
uel B. NJ. Young and General Bates.
Secretary Baker explained to the
committee that early promotion OF
General Pershing was essential be-
cause he is to command a great army
of many corps, emitting him to the
highest military title and in order to
obviate embarrassment resulting from
the high rank Of the allied command
ers with whom he is associated

is equally as necessary, he pointed
out, that the Chief Of Staff, the di-
recting head Of the army in Washing
ton, should rank ali other officers, ex-
cept the expeditionary commander,
and that. staff officers generally
should have rank corresponding to
that of officers in the field.

80 Others Injured in German Air
Raid Over London.

In Monday nights air raid over
London by German machines, the
largest raid attempted up to that time,
10 persons were killed and 38 injur-
ed.
The London press is becoming crit
zeal of the government. The papers
point out that the Germans are able
to spare aircraft for raiding England
and have enough along the battle
lines to give the British continuing
fight for supremacy in the air.
1t is argued that the Germans evil

aircraft and may be expected to con-
tinue building on an increased scale
and to improve the type of their ma

that this would be the case were made
months ago by some of the newspa-
pers and by experts like Lord Mon

so predicts that the Germans soon will

rations and be able to attack London
