Gen. Cadorna Seems To
Have the Situation Well
In Hand.

Although the Austrians apparently
still retain a precarious hold on Monte
San Gabrielle their last remaining
mountain stronghold northeast to Curl

region, according to Italian belief.
General Cadorna's report today shows
the Austrians still resisting desperate

losses which the incessant Italian pres.
sure of the last few days has infltct,
ed on them. This pressure is being
maintained and is becoming decisive,
the commander of the attacking forces
announces.
The Italian reports are invariably
conservative and it has been noted tina;
Gen. Cadorna has a habit of withhold

of his ground. The confident tone OF
today's statement from Rome is there
fore considered significant.
According to strategical experts
Gen. Cadorna has only to obtain a

Premier Lloyd George in speech here
today on receiving the freedom of the

cause and the freedom Of the world de.

he was certain 1t would be maintained
German statesmen, he said, had been
at great pains to impress on their peu'

out by him in the House of Commons
we're inaccurate. He declared these
figures were absolutely correct and
they put an end to all hope Of the en-.
envy to win. The Premier asserted ne
was absolutely convinced that the Ger,
man submarine would never be able
to beat down the strength of the Brit
ish army or the hopes of the alliance
by means Of all the efforts the Germans
could make with the submarines.
The Premier said that the news from
Russia in the last few days had not
been good. He thought when the revo,

expected earlier recovery.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that the Rus

men, knew the enemy attempt in the
Riga region involved the fate of the
revolution, the fruits of which thay
would do their best to defend. Unuer

down and he was confident In the end
they would succeed.
America which has now come into
the conflict has never known defeat

For all these reasons ask you to
be of stout heart. There may be stony
