General GugIielmotti. however. the
Italian government will endraFoF 10

Settlement Of the point came ABOUT
as the result of an appreciation by me

The. United States felt. tho mission
was Informed. that If all Italians con-
sidered of military az" by the Italian
government were to be- sent BACK 10

The American government emphasized
the point tina, the men who come
within the scope of the United States
canscrintion la " could not of neceS'
siry serve under the Italian coiors'
while the others would contribute
more efficiently TO The economic needs
OF the allies by remaining hero.
Tho problem had been inifnSifl"n
nv the fact that Italy's call 10 the col

Of IS and l3 years. Those not need

As the pupils Of these schools have an

LONDON. January 4.-The capture
of AIatchin is regarded here as ending
the defense of Dobrudja. The Russians
held the Matchin bridgchead in order
TO protect Braila from the rear.
Nothing now remains to them except
narrow strip of land between marshes
which carries the highway to Braila.
The Germans and BulGarans are in
position to push their guns within
eight miles of Rraila. and II is assumed
that If the invaders capture the latter
town, the Russian line west of the
Danube will be withdrawn. 1t is taken
for granted that the prolonged resist
