Cadorna's Armies Fall
ing Back Along Front
OF 100 Miles
MUST BATTLE
TO HOLD VENICE
o s Are
Hurrying to Aid
OF Italians
10y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
/ A retirement by the Italians
to d shorter defense line is un-
der way along a front of 16O
miles. Not only from the Car
mic Alps to the Adriatic along
the Tagliamento are General
Cadorna's men retreating be-
fore the Austro-G Germans, but
also in the Dolomite and Car
mic Alps. -
The river Piave appears to
be the next stopping place Of
the Italians but there are indi-
cations that even the northern
reaches Of this river have been
abandoned to the enemy. Gen
leral Cadorna probably is rely
ing upon the Sugana valley
which lies east Of Trent, and
upon the lower Piave, connect
ing the two natural positions
n
between a line from Prenta,
which flows through the Su-
CANA valley to the Piave at a
point south of Felle. 1t is i'm
probable that the Italians
would retreat to the line of the
Prenta along it's entire length
as this would leave Venice in
the hands of the invaders. Bas-
ing his new defensive position
on the upper Prenta and the
lower Piave, General Cadorna
would have a line about 100
miles shorter than that Of the
T~agliamento and upon it he APP
parently will give battle to the
Austro- Germans for the pos
session Of Venice. Behind this
position the Italians could
have better lines of communi-
cation and easier access to the
great manufacturing cities of
northern Italy.
Both official and unofficial dis.
patches from Italy reflect a tone OF
increasing confidence although the
situation is still admittedly grave.
General Cadorna's withdrawal from
the -Tagliamento line and from the
mountainous districts in northern
venetia is proceeding in an orderly
way, Rome asserts. Dispatches from
the field seem to bear this out. The
German statement claims the capture
of numbers Of prisoners but does
mention any guns taken or indicate
any such decentralization in the Ital.
ian ranks as during the precipitate
withdrawal from the Isonzo line.
General Cadorna, in his report,
mentions the present withdrawal as
being conducted In the direction of
the Livenza river. This may indi-
cate he intends to fight another de-
laying action along this comparative
ly small stream, some 10 to Is miles
behind the ~Tagliamento positions be-
fore falling back on the Piave, ap-
proximately 10 miles further west.
Incidentally a semi-official statement
Rome declares the AustroG Ger
man invasion has failed Of It's polit-
zeal object-assumedly the breaking
OF the italian will TO resist and the

r PEOPLE
MUST SACRIFICE If
NECESSARY TO TAKE
CARE OF TEACHERS
Is Absolute Need
For Every Possible
Accommodation
RESIDENTS URGED
TO STRAIN POINT

For the past two days 80 of SAINTS
Fe's most prominent women have
been canvassing the city to eur &C
commodations for the large crowd Of
state educators who will attend the
big teachers convention during
Thanksgiving week. In general they
have met with encouraging success
many people gladly offering to make
actual sacrifices to provide accom-
modations for one or more teachers.
A number of local people, however,
some Of them well able to entertain
at least one guest during the week
that the city will be host to not less
than 1000 visitors, have not respond
ed to the appeal of the soliciting CON-
mittees. Some people Ire holding
back until the guests begin to arrive,
stating that they will entertain only
II absolutely necessary.
The local convention committee is
swamped already with applications
for accommodations. These applica.
tions are growing in number every
hour. Santa Fe may as we'll realize
now as later that there is an abso-
lutte necessity for every vacant bed
and cot in the city. To handle the
large crowd without confusion and
dissatisfaction it is necessary that
the committee assign rooms to the
teachers who have applied for accom-
modations, before they arrive here.
The committee states that it is posi-
lively out Of the question to think OF
waiting until the teachers begin ar
irving before accommodations are as
signed. Last year approximately
three-fourths of the teachers attend
ing the convention were in receipt OF
their room assignments before they
left their homes for Santa Fe, and to
provide accommodations for the re-
naming %one-fourth of them who wait
ed until their arrival here before ap-
plying for accommodations. it requir-
ed a force of half a hundred people
working day and night without rest
for almost three days.
These teachers are coming here
this year as Santa FEES guests, and
are expecting to be cared for as well,
anyway, as they we're last year. To
handle them in a ann that will
credit upon the city, every
loyal Santa Fean will have to make
some sort Of a sacrifice.
People who have given mo extra
as an excuse are urged to
a point and provide an extra
room. A sanitary couch, Or a cot,
will accommodate at least one person,
and there are very few homes in the
city not provided with these. Santa
Fe has simply GOT to take care of
this convention crowd, and people
who have not yet pledged their sup |
port to the committee in the way OF
are requested to get in touch
with Mrs. Adelina OteroiWarren, or
Mrs. A. B. Renehan or the Chamber
of Commerce, and report the number !
teachers they will accommodate |
1t is going to be necessary for every
home in Santa Fe to entertain at
one teacher during convention
week. Many will entertain eight or
ten. The rooms comlcittee will pub
lish a list of all the Santa Fe homes
offering to entertain at least one
teacher guest during the convention.

NEW YORK, Nov 7.-Tamman,
Hall returned to power as the result
Of yesterdays mayoralty election. MOI
only was Judge John r. HyIan swept
Into office by the largest p~IuraIit,
given to a mayoralty candidate In New
York City, but there was elected with
him the entire Democratic ticket, Civ

Judge Hyland's plurality based on
virtually complete returns early to.
day, was 1879. Mayor Mitchelps
plurality four years ago was 1900.
With 27 election districts missing. the
vote for mayor stood:
John r. Hylan, 2e7,2s2; John Pur-
roy Mitchell, 14s,so7; Morris Hillquit,
142, z VIM. M. Bennett, 53,67s.
Aside from the overwhelming Tam
many victory the outstanding feature
fof the mayoralty vote was the great
increase in the Socialist votet. In
1918, Chas. Edward Russell, the Social
ist candidate, polled but 32,100 votes.
At the presidential election last year,
Allan T. Benson, Socialist candidate
for president, received BLISS votes.
The Socialists, while disappointed be-
cause their vote was short of expecta-
lions, got some comfort out of the fact
that they carried twelve assemly dis.
tricts, three Of which are expected to
send Socialists to the assembly at AL
bany.
The women citizens Of New York
state were given unlimited suffrage in
yesterdays election by a majority
which is expected to reach 100000
when all election districts have COM
pleted their tabulations.
At both city and state suffrage head
quarters scenes approaching hysteria
were enacted as the women showered
embraces, kisses and congratulations
upon each other. Then, as If sobered
by the realization that other states
still withheld the vote from women,
the leaders Immediately set about
pushing the campaign for the federal
amendment.
Republican Attorney General
Charles e. Lewis, Republican, and
Devoe P. Hodson, Democrat, for at
torney general brought out a heavy
vote. Lewis brought to the city a
plurality large enough to overcome
Hodson's heavy lead and with S33 cleo.
tion districts missing early today had
a majority over Hodson of more than
10000. John Block, Socialist, ran a
poor third.
In addition to Attorney General
Lewis, the Republicans elected SO of
the $50 members of the 1918 assem-
bly,; the Democrats elected AZ mem
bers and the Socialists nine. The
twenty-third district of Kings wal a
tie between the Socialist and a candi-
date endorsed by both Republicans
and Democrats, leaving the result to
the soldier vote.
The Republicans elected 26 mayors
upstate cities.

MANY NICKNAMES
 HAVE BEEN LEGAL

Nicknames are not likely to go out of fashion so long as human nature re- mains what it is. In these days, how ever, it is not customary to spread such titles upon official records, as was formerly the habit, according to the archives of several of our states.
 In the Dutch records of 1644 we have John Petersen. alisa Fred John In the Newtown purchase from the Im- dians. dated in 1856, one of the bound- aries is "by a Dutchman's land called Hans the Boore,' and in the Bushkick patent, dated October F, 1867, one of the boundaries is John the Swede's meadow" In 1895, in the Kings county records a man is named living at Gowanus as "Tunis the Fisher"
 The common council of New York in 1891 ordered fish to be brought into the dock lover against the city hall or the house that Long Mary formerly lived in,'' and the same year an order was passed that Topknot Betty and her children be provided for as objects of charity"
 The explanations of this custom in many cases was that the persons in question either had no family names or had forgotten them, so that the use of their generally accepted nicknames be- came a necessity.

Regarding the subscriptions Lieutenant Good re- marked, T am well pleased with the way the men responded. No persua sion was necessary. 4 statement that the government needed their money a. we'll it did them was enough. But few men turned it down and that was because they are supporting dependent families.
