ITALIANS MAY QUIT
UDINE TO MAKE STAND
ON TAGLIAMENT0 LINE

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-The battle line
on which Italian troops are battling
veliantly to stem the Teutonic in
vasion extends from the head OF the
Gulf of Trieste, northward along the
Isonzo front to beyond the Tolmino,
thence westward, through the Carnic
Alpine region to the Ploacken pass.
Deep wedges have been driven
into the lines by the German and
Austro-Hungarian troops on the east
and the northeast, and a third attack
is being driven in the north, appar-
entity attempting 20 cut OF the retreat
OF the Italians to the west and souh-
west.
Berlin reports that the invaders are
within striking distance OF Udine, the
Italian headquarters. The defense on
the Isonzo front has collapsed before
the attacks OF the Austro- Hungarian
troops under Gen. Otto Won Buelow,
Berlin declares.
Until Cadorna has established his
armies on the Tagliamento line, Lon
don does not expect to hear any news
from this front except OF sweeping
German successes. Military experts
are hourly expecting news of the
evacuation or Udine.
Use Troops From East.
The main apprehension here was
that IL the IsonEo front has COM
pletely dissolved, it will be an ex-
ceedingly difficult matter to delay
the German advance sufficiently to
prepare the Tagliamento line for the
tremendous blow II IL certain this
front must Withstand. Before the
last stand" is reached, however, IL
is likely the effect OF strong allied
assistance may be felt. Not one news
paper today minimiEed the danger OF
the Italian situation. All agreed the
German victory means several
months continuation OF the war The
best information from italian as well
as Swedish sources put the number
OF Mackensen's invading troops at
100000. Practically every one OF
these-certainly all the German
troops-were drawn from the Russian
'front.' SO were most OF the thousands
Of guns with which the Teutons liter

GROWING OF COCA LEAVES
Maintenance Of an Extensive Planta.
ton Demands Much Care
and Work.

The cultivation Of coca leaves is very
similar to that Of tea. The bushes are
kept at height of four to six feet by
severe pruning. Under the most IA
vorable conditions of growth, such as
the island Of Java affords, it is posi-
BILE to collect the leaves at short in
tervals throughout the entire year.
Nevertheless the maintenance of an
extensive coca plantation demands
much care and work keeping out
weeds and pests, thereby r"ising the
production price Of the lsaves consid-
erably.
The general view of one Of these
plantations is especially pleasing. The
light-green luxuriant foliage of the
coca bushes, that carpet the rolling
hilIsides for miles around, contrasting
with the dark green foliage Of the trees
of adjoining rubber estates, while all
is surrounded by dark depths of virgin
forests, makes a landscape that is
beautiful indeed.

Steaming out of the harbor of La

vessels, we pass along the Venezuelan
coast for several hundred miles, Occa-

The island of Trinidad lies only ~
miles off the coast of Venezuela and
almost opposite the delta Of Orinoco.
It is British possession and, together
with TabagO, near by, forms Il joint
colony. Port of Spain is the chief
shipping center and has population
of 10000; in recent years there have
been many immigrants from India and
other oriental lands.
