COLUMBUS, Ga, Nov. 2S.-Balloting
in an effort to break the long -drawn-out
deadlock in the Fourth district conven-
ton was resumed today and up to the
noon hour little had been accomplished,
the voting shifting around near to where
it started in Greenville one week ago.
A big effort to break the deadlock was
made at 11:45 o'clock when resolu-
ton providing for an adjournment of
twenty minutes during which time all
delegates should confer with their re-
spective candidate and seek release was
offered. A substitute from the Coweta
delegation was then offered providing
for an adjournment of fifteen minutes
without instructions. The substitute
carried and the convention adjourned
for fifteen minutes.
Several ballots were taken this morn
ing, and the only change in the standing
of the convention came on the sixth bal
lot, when Mr.. Chappell received eight
votes When the convention reconvened
a motion was made and carried to ad-
Journ for dinner time at o'clock. Hon.
w c. Wright, of Coweta county, stated
to the convention that the report that he
is probable dark horse is without
foundation; that he is here as a delegate
instructed to vote for Hon. Garland
Jones, and that he is not and will not
enter the race as an independent.

LONDON, Nov. 2S,-"It is now time
to say definitely that the crisis in Italy
has passed." said Major General F. B.
Maurice, chief dictator Of military
operations at the war office, in an inter-
view today.
1.-The Italians halted the enemy be-
fore the arrival of tre Anglo-French
Inducements General Maurice said.
The Germans are not following up
their initial successes, as good soldiers
would, simply because they haveff3 any
reinforcements."
General Maurice said there had been
no important movement of German
troops from the Russian front
THE Cambria attack" the general
continued, resulted in our capture of
just under 1900 prisoners, more than
a hundred guns and between so and 20
square miles of territory. The enemy
was forced to use many more of it's
divisions. We had no definite detectives
and merely intended to go as far as
possible. We gained more than Haig
had expected.
so far there have been no appreci-
able Withdrawals from the Russian
front"
Jerusalem will not fall without an
other battle" the general continued.
we must bring up scattered forces,
fresh guns. and munitions. There are
difficulties in the advance and the sur
rounding territory will delay the en-
velopment sufficiently to enable the
enemy to bring up his rear guards and
make a stand.
THE meaning of the recent lulI on
the Palestine front is that we must
get up fresh troops, guns, supplies and
munitions for that battle"

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-(Summary o.

Germans continue their desperate strug
gle, the British trying to advance east

to gain the dominating elevation OF

on the western front there has been
strong artillery activity.
The crisis in Italy has passed, accord

lacking the vigor of those earlier in the
week against the Italian defenses be-

Herbert Corey has gone into Switzerland from
Paris France, TO learn about the food conditions
and other accessories CT Germany and there found
thousands of German refugees some friends and
some enemies of the Germans. From these he has
learned the beliefs and conditions of the poorly
clothed back of the German lines.
In this story he tells of the common impression
that America and most of the allies have that the
Germans are ready to declare peace and quit. He
contradicts this statement by saying that most men
and women in Germany still believe that they
will win-that America and her allies are starving

der General Scriven, of the Unite.i

study the Italian situation and make a.
series of reports to the American gov
eminent. Major G. NJ. P. Murphy, head
of the American Red Cross in Europe.
also is here to coordinate the work o.
his organization. General Scriven was
received by King Victor Emmanuel, who
invited him to dinner. where the situa-
ton was discussed at length
Reports from the front show that the
enemy is still persistent, but that little
is left of his former vigor of attack, and
he is resorting to the old device of cum
ming. The Germans have posted pla-
cards in Italy, reading:
italians, we have crossed the defense
of the Piave. Your defense is useless.
Let us pass without further bloodshed-
We shall be in Vicenza in three days"
In reply to this the Italian soldiers
posted a placard in German, reading:
You will never pass.
An eminent American military author
ity summarized the situation in this
way:
while the danger Is not yet over,
nevertheless 1t seems to me. from Q NIL
itary viewpoint, that the enemy cannot
pass, being confronted by the combined
italian. British and French forces.
His chief military reason for this
view is that the enemy no longer has his
lines of communication freely open 10
the rear, as the winter is breaking his
communications in the north and inter
rupting, If not destroying, them to the
east Therefore he believes the enemy
has reached the maximum, and must oe-
cline from now on, while the italians
81 their allies have all their communi-
cations from the west and south open
and can augment their forces from now
ON. Consequently it appears to THIS
American as though the enemy nao
failed in his main project OF nreakIn&
through into the heart Of Italy. Tne
fore0oine. In addition to giving the
American military viewpoint, probaoiY
accords with other high opinion.
