EXPECT ALLIES TO
 REINFORCE ARMY
American Representative Headed by Colonel House Arrive in British Port -Nanadians Hold
 Great Gains.
Associated Press Summary.


 The Italian armies are continuing their retreat southward oyer the Venetian plains from the Tagliamen. to river and southward from the DolO- mite and Carnic Alps region toward the plains. The retreat is declared by the Italian war office to be an or derly one, with the rear guard OH both fronts holding back the enemy. and with airplanes playing all import- ant part in harassing the invaders, destroying the bridges that lad been thrown over the Tagliame nto and bombing troops trying to cross the stream.
 Altho the Berlin official communities tion asserts that the Germans have reached Livenza river on the Vene- tian plain, along which it had been expected General Cadorna would fight retarding action, it is believed that this is only in tine center, and that the greater portion of General von Buelow's forces still are negoti- ating passage of the 1agliamento or working their way westward over the flat country, harassed by the Italian cavalry.
 MUy SuanU On luc fleV0e NFs
 There has been no intimation as to where the line of Italians retreating from n . u1i ilf " ed, nor is there any information conrs corning where General CadOrna, rein- forced by the British and French, will make his stand, but tae belief still prevails that the Pieve river will be chosen for this purpose; that aid by the allies is required, and in no unstinted measures has been asserted in semi-official quarters in Rome.
 To Crush Italy.
 The Teutons are declared to have stal,ed everything. on their attempt to crush Italy, and the allies must rush assistance with the most speed, if Ca dOrna is to check the enemy.
 This far, since the retreat from the north began, it is evident that the in. < vaders have not come fin close contact with the. main Italian forces. for the Berlin war office tells of no great battle having been fought anywhere, and does not dilate on large numbers of prisoners having been taken, mere ly saying that several thousand troops have fallen into Teuton hands. Colonel House Arrives.
 Of great significance to the Ital- ian situation and to that of the allies generally is the arrival in British port of the representatives to the tn- ter-allied conference which is to dis cuss and to lay plans for the success full carrying on of the war. Colonel E. M. House. long known as Presi. dent Wilson's confidential adviser. heads the mission.
 On none of the other fronts aas { there been any eAeagements of any great importance
 The Canadians are holding their gains of Tuesday before Passclien-s daele without the Germans offering' serious interference. On the Ereaf- CT portion of the remainder of thes western front there have been, only small encounters, in which the French obtained the advantage.
 Gaza, on the Mediterranean, cOant in Palestine, has been captured bHs the British and forces operating north of Beersheba has made an additional advance of eleven miles.

Thought That Boches Were Preparing Another Raid

WERE PREPARED
 FOR THE ATTACK
American Gunners Gave Germans More Than Shell for Shell Break. SllrNpnel Over Enemy
 Trenches.
(By the Associated Press.)

With the American Army in France, The German artillery was very act i've all last night and today. Shells of various calibre were raining around the American soldiers. So thickly did they come at one time during the ear ly hours this morning it was thought another barrage was about to be plac- ed for second raid on the American trenches.
 Americans Ready.
 The Americans were ready for the boches, and hoped they would try another raid, but none developed. The American artillery gave the Germans back shell for shell, and added few for good measure, pounding the en- emy battery positions and breaking shrapnel over the trenches.

NEW STATUTES OUT
State Printer Smith Sends First Copies
to Legislature Today.

Copies of the new general statutes
of Kansas were delivered to the state
officers and members of the legisla-
ture today by the state printer, w. R.
Smith. Work on the remainder of
the issue is being pushed at the state
printing plant and by the last of the
week, it will be possible for the secre-
tary of state to supply volumes to all
who desire them,
This compilation of the statutes,
provided for by the 1915 legislature,
is the most complete volume of the
kind Kansas has ever had and it is
believed that it will prove one of the
most satisfactory to lawyers, officials
and others who have occasion to refer
to the statutes. The volume has been
carefully annotated and the compiler,
R. Z. Mcintosh, has combined with
the thoroness of his work a number
of special features that will make it
invaluable. The headings of the sec
tions tell at glance the nature of the
contents and at the beginning of each
article, these headings are listed so
| that it is possible to easily locate the
section desired. The arrangement of
the index, too, commends itself to
| users of the book as the subjects
| handled are listed in alphabetical or
| der and this arrangement is carried
out to the last subtitle. Another
feature of high practical value is the
reference index and compare tive ia BILE
| FANPe@A VI Ny wi. 4hClHlOSIl, Dy use OIL

glance the original number of any sec

the 1903 compilation, and measured
BY the printers standard of ems con-
