New Confidence in
Russia Is Expressed
by u. S. Government

Washington, Nov. 2.-Premier Ker-
ensky's warning that Russia's allies
will have to bear her burden of the
conflict while the war-weary nation
regains its strength, exhausted in
three years of lighting enemies with
| out and within. has aroused new eX-
pressions of confidence in Russia's
future, and assurances OF support
from the United States Government
and the representatives of all the
allies.
The Russian embassy made the pre-
miers statement of Russa's position
! the occasion to reiterate that she has
no intention of quitting the war, and
the State Department. in an author
lied announcement. declared that in
no way could the premiers statement
nor any of it's official advices be con-
strued to mean that Russia seeks a
separate peace.
As another mark of confidence in
the Russian government, the Treas
ury to-day authorized the immediate
advance of $31,700000 out of the
credits of 325,000.000 already au
tEorized.
This would bring the total actually
paid the Russian government out of
credits previously authorized up to
! S190.000.O00.
Credits totaling sS25,OOO, 600 to
| Russia have been authorized by the
Treasury. Including to-day's trans
| action there remains available for
Russio S134,10O.000 Apparently there
is no intention to withdraw any OF
| the uneXpended credits. Indications
| are that the attitude of the American
Government toward Russia so far as
| the eXtention of financial aid is con-
| cerned, is unchanged by Premier Ker-
cnslSy's statement.
Great Britain's advances to Russia
are, perhaps, almost ten times as
great as the sum advanced by the
United States. 1t is estimated that
since the war began England has
| advanced at least $4,000, 900 to
Russia. and it is known that she was
still advancing funs a short time ago
and contemplated a continuance OF
the practice as long as necessary.
A high percentage of the money
| advanced by England has been spent
/ in the United States, much of it dur
ing the first year of the war, when
Great Britain virtually assumed Rus
/ sia's obligations for munitions and
other supplies in this country.
Today's authorized transfer tC
Russia's credit of $31, 100000 should
not be construed. it is said, as a new
loan, but represents a payment OF
moneys which this Government has
already authorized to be paid.
Latest official advices from Russia
| indicate expenditures of that country
since the beginning of the war to
| August l, this year, have been S14,-
| 25O, 900, 600 and that since that time
her daily expenditure has been APP
proximately $15.OO0,O00 a day.

as the world has seldom witnessed.
Every field and by-road was utilized
for the colossal migration 1t is not
surprising that some congestion oc-
Cured amid such an exodus, and
the only wonder is that the great
Army has been able to withdraw at
all and establish itself along the new
Slime of defense. Many heartrending
scenes were witnessed. along the

vast zone of mud increased the mis-

were strewn with dead horses. Traf-

blocked for long intervals by the
breaking down of some enormous
car truck.
But above all stands out the salient
fact that the Italian Army is on its
feet. the broken detachments are re-
forming and the whole array is
swinging into another line before the
invading enemy.
The cavalry rear guard continues
to screen the movement of the main
body of the Italian army to its newly
chosen position and at the same time
to check the advance of the enemy

hut within these close limits some
general idea can be given of the
heroic resistance the main part of the
Italian army gave to the rush of
overwhelming numbers.
Greatest shock in North
The greatest shock came on the
north, where the Isonzo first was
crossed. Here occurred the weak
ening of certain detachments of the

weakening which gave the German
ccntingents the opportunity at II
critical moment to pass forward be-

north and that on the line further
south.
Now began the double exposure of
the southern force to fire in the front
and on the flank. which required
steady falling back until the entire
army was in movement towards the
newly positions further
west. During this prodigious move

guard, which can only be sketched in
the broadest outlines, some sections
sustained shocks of exceptional in
tensity. The commanding height of

occupied after deeds of great valor,

What is the lesson to the democ-

This" Premier Kerensky replied,

not lose faith in the Russian revolu-
ton because it is not a political rev.

revolution is only seven months old.
No one has the right to feel disillu-

No one can draw any real pic

One sinister account followed an
other as for more than an hour the
Consul told of the murder of inno-
cent passengers at the hands of men
instructed by the German govern
ment to spare nobody but to impress
upon the people of the world such a
horrible fear of German frightfulness
that nobody would stand before Ger
man armed forces.
The speaker produced sworn
statements to the ehect that the Of
hcers OF one German submarine,
with tears in their eyes, had told
survivors of a vessel they had de-
stroyed. that they were compelled to
commit murder by orders from the
Kaiser, that there were spies on their
ships who reported the least sign of
leniency on the part of their COM
manders and that at least two sub
marine commanders had been tor
tured to death in Germany because
they had shown mercy to their vic
TINS. The submarine strikes at night,
the speaker said following it's prey

rors of the occasion and to the loss
of life.

of the surprise blow from the north,
which developed into a turning fire
before the southern armies and also
on their extreme flank, gradually ex-
tending to their rear. Under such
circumstances 1t was humanity pos,
sible that any army would be tried
sorely, and it was to eXtricate the
troops from this situation that the
retirement began all along the ex-
tended advanced position occupied by
the Italian army within Austrian ter
ritory.
Shielding Operations
This line stretched through Gorilla
to Monfalcone on the Adriatic. The
second army occupied most of the
front above, Gorilla, the third army
that below Gorilla.
The retirement was accompanied
by shielding operations of the rear
guard which poured a deadly fire into
the advancing columns and at the
same time destroyed powder depots,
arsenals and bridges with the dou-
bic purpose of giving time for the
withdrawal of the Italian heavy guns
and of preventing military stores
falling into the hands of the enemy.
The Germans encountered stubborn
resistance on the Bainsizza plateau.
lines of their advance. Around Globo
ridge a Bersalgieri brigade, outnum-
bered five to one, held back the en-
emy while the main line had an op-
portunity to get its retreat in motion.
In one of the mountain passes a
small village commanding the pass
wass taken and retaken eight times
during desperate artillery, infantry
and hand-to-h hand lighting.
GOriZia WAS Shalla6 heavily and
what remained of what the corre-
spondent saw there a week ago was
further reduced to a mass of debris.
One of the main bridges from Co
rizia across the Isonzo was blown
UP by the Italians and the enemy
movement thus further impeded.
To the west of Gorilla the town
of Cormons also was shelled heavily.
The great German guns opened enor-
nous craters and literally tore the
town to pieces.
AS depots and arsenals were blown
up the whole sky was lighted with
red glare and dense masses of smoke
formed in an enormous pail like the
approach of an equinoctial cycline.
Added to the fearful din and heavy
shellfre on front and flank, was the
continuous explosion of powder sup
plies as the Italians slowly fell back
screened by n rear guard of a Ber-
saglieri brigade, which threw up
heavy breastworks and contested
every foot of the way.
Main Army Intact
The heaviest pressure began to be
felt on the Carso front Friday. The
Austrians then increased their bonn
tardment to deafening intensity and
supplemented this with huge volumes
of poison gas and tear shells. The
humid air and q light wind permitted
great waves of the deadly gases to
creep low toward the Italian lines,
the rear guards protecting themselves
with masks and by hiding in caverns.
Not only is the main body of the
Italian army intact after having
dealt several blows to the enemy, but
it is now apparent that the Italians
have thwarted the Austro- German
plan of encompassing the third army
on the Carso, thereby cutting off the
flower of the forces in this region,
rendering the Venetian plains de-
fenseless and encouraging the hope

THEY WILL SOON BE SOLDIERS
Second Contingent of the First Draft
Call Departs for Training
Camps on Time.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Marshaled
for the last time as civilians and IN
der civilian authority, mora than three
hundred thousand men of the national
army will go forward today to the
sixteen environments to be trained for
the battle against German autocracy
Their next move will be as fighting
men toward the battle fields Of
France.
The whole Nation will be astir with
the movement of the selective forces.
The men represent approximately As
per cent of the total quota under the
first call from each of nearly five
thousand local boards. Already at the
camps is the advance guard of 5 per
cent of the total, composed of expert
enced men, including cooks. Out OF
this has been created a skeleton or
ganization into which the second in
crement will begin to be absorbed to-
day. When the last men of this in
crement arrive the camps viii house
half of the first call forces or 343, 500
men and the other half will follow as
rapidly as quarters and equipment are
made available.
In a statement tonight the War De
partment says the task of obtaining
equipment and supplies for the army
is moving satisfactorily Some of the
men of the national army may be only
partially equipped for some time after
| they are modified, and no attempt
will be made TO furnish them with full
war equipment until the eve of their
| departure for Europe. Some civilian
clothing, such as oYercoats, will have
TO be used for time, as the clothing
industry has not caught UP with its
| work
With the mobilization Of one-half OF
the 6S7, 900 men of the first call under
the SeIective Service Law in progress
the question arises as to whether thai
number of men will be sufficient tc
fill all units of the national guard and
national army. There are indications
| that a deficiency in men will be dis
closed when official reports from al
