Americans and French Friendly
 On Battle Front
tBy Review Leased Wire.) ]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-American and French troops are fraternizing in France ina way that promises we'll for future joint operations. Private letters from American officers lay stress on the amicable relations that have been established between the men despite the difference in Ian guage.
 The soldiers go about in groups during their leisure hours, often with French private strolling on either side of a big American. and all three laughing uproariously over their at- empts to understand each other. The villages where the Americans are quartered are full of such scenes daily. When there is a boxing match or other trial of strength the mixed au- dience cheer the victor impartially. although each side shouts encourage ment to its own men during the fight
 Thus a spirit of friendship and mu- tual respect is being developed among the men that are to fight side by side that no provision of the leaders of the two armies could have secured, and in it officers here see a thing of price less military value.

MINISTRY OF FRANCE QUITS
 AFTER LOSING
 IN OPEN VOTE
Premier Painleve Resigns Fol- lowing a Vote in the Cham- Der of Deputies in Which the Ministry Was Not Sup- ported.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PARIS. Nov. 13-The ministry re signed tonight.
 The resignation of the ministry fol lowed its defeat in the chamber of deputies by a vote of 277 to 1S6.
 After the government had obtained restricted but sufficient majority on the question of confidence in is mill tary and diplomatic policy, a deter mined attempt was made to bring on discussion of current scandals, in cluding the accusations of. L'Action Franchise of a royalist plot and against former Minister of the Interior Malvy, but Premier Painleye demanded a postponement of the interpellations until November 30, when the inter- allied conference would be finished.
 A postponement was then made a question of confidence, and the cham Der. by a vote of PIT to 1S6, in which the right joined the cabinets oppo- nents, refused to acquiesce in the pre- mier's demand. Thereupon the min isters left the chamber and went to the Elysee palace and resigned.
 Prof. Paul Painleve organized the cabinet on September IA, and succeed ed Alexandre Ribot as premier, whose ministry resigned on September [. The new cabinet, which originally consisted of fifteen titular ministers, four ministers of state and eleven under-secretaries, came immedia' ely under the fire of the socialists, who were opposed to M. Ribot as foreign minister. This cabinet resigned on October %. but President Poincaire refused to accept the resignation on the ground that the chamber had votr ed confidence in the ministry.
 M. Ribot was then eliminated from the cabinet, being succeeded by j.. Louis Barthou as head of the foreign office. The reconstructed government received a vote of confidence. 2SS to 137. The opposition voters were part ly from the socialists and partly from the radical socialists. The vote seem ed to indicate hesitation on the part of the chamber to defeat any ministry by a direct vote during the war.

.HUNTHRUST|N ITALY SAID TO
 BE POLITICAL
 BY TREALLIES
French Embassy Denies Re ports That Entire Italian Army Was Disrupted. View of Situation Gixen By Sec retary Baker.
[Bv Review Leased Wire.,

WASHINGTON. Nov 13.-France's confidence that the Teutonic drive in- to Italy has been stopped is expressed 1 in a war office statement cabled today to the French embassy here.
 "The Germans have exaggerated the importance of the Italian defeat" says the statement. "In reality the Ital- ian armies are far from being defeat ed
 "The second army only has serious ly suffered.
 "The line of the Piave is solidly held. The shortening of the front will allow ebtter means of resistance.
 The English and Frnech armies are in reserve behind
 The morale of the army has been strengthened and is becoming eXcei- lent
 'The country, at first strongly shak- en, is becoming more settled as the po- litical parties are getting more united"
 Military men here believe, too, that the Austro-German thrust in Italy has reached its crest and evidence of the use to which the German high com mand will attempt 10 put it's advant- age are now watched for with great interest
 In his weekly war review, issued to- day, Secretary Baker indicated his opinion that the drive was primarily political movement. This opinion is shared by numerous American officers and in some quarters it is believed a peace offer is to be expected at any moment from eGrman sources. It is suggested that it may come in some indirect fashion, to be disclaimed in Berlin if it brings no results.
 Observers here fail to see that the Teutonic offensive will have secured any important military objectives if it is stopped where it is. A great sweep of Italian territory has been occupied but it contains little or nothing to ease the food shortage in Austria and the effect upon the spirits of the Austrian people is expected to prove short-lived unless some more substantial evidenc- es of victory are forthcoming
 The strain upon the Austrian lines has been increased as result of the drive. The new line must be held at all costs in the face of an Italian force that probably will be brought to total strength Of two million men when sup plies and equipment for such an army become available
 Supply lines for the invader run back into Austria through rugged mountain passes which it will be diff ficult to keep fully open during the winter months Once the mass of heavy artillery and supplies necessary to the maintenance of the army has been moved down to face the Italians it would be impossible, it is said. for a nasty withdrawal to be made For that reason, it is argued. the German and Austrian staffs will be obliged to maintain at any cost its invading force strong enough @ withstand any prob able attack

YANKEE AIRMEN
 FLY OVER FRONT
 WITHFRENCHMEN
American Aviators Accompa- ny French Pilots on Obser- vation Tours and Also on Bombing Raids Over Ene- my Works.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 13.-(By the Associat- ed Press army aviators have participated in bombing raids oy- CT eGrmany and have been doing ob- servation duty at various points of the battle line.
 The aviators are officers of the reg ular army, some of whom had been fly ing before the United States entered the war Others of them are men who have been on duty at training centers.
 On Bombing Raids.
 On the bombing raids the Americans have been carried in French planes as bombers and observers and have been gaining a wealth of experience. which inthe future will assist them, as well as the new members of the air service who are arriving or are to arrive.
 Some of the Americans were in sev- eral recent raids in which bombs were dropped on German positions of mill tary importance. In observation work the Americans have been acting both as observers and pilots, flying in French machines. This work has been done at many points but none of the machines carrying American avia- tors has flown over the sector where the American troops are entrenched.
 French Machines Used.
 Numbers of French machines haze been turned over to the Americans for their own use, but thus far none of them has been engaged in aerial fgh:- ing of importance. No casualties among the American airmen have been reported. although enemy air planes have fired heavily upon them.
 The allied officers are enthusiastic over the work of the young fiiers and are of the unanimous opinion that they are combining the daring of ti;e British tiiers and the technique Jf che French airmen. All the operations iii which the Americans took part have in a measure been in the nature of in- struction.

.P|AVE RIVER HOLDING THE
 ENEMY ARMY
 FROM VENICE
From Lake Garda to the Adri- atic Sea Italians Are Hold ing Their Own Against h. vading Forces of Austro- Germans.
CBy Review Leased Wire.)

The Italians apparently are holding the Teutonic allies fast along the greater part Of the front from Lake i Garda, south of the Trentino region i to the Adriatic sea Small gains have l been reported for the Teutons on the northern front and at one point along | the southern reaches of the Piave river
 On the Asiago plateau the enemy has met with several severe reversals. the Italians repelling vigorous at tacks with serious losses. Near Can owe. to the west of Asiago, the forces of General Diaz were able to liberate Italians who had been captured by the Austro-German army in the attempted flanking operation before the Italian line was stiffened last week.
 Towns Reported Captured. The Germans report the capture of the town of Fonzaso and the fortified position of Mont Longara. On the southern Piave. between Mont San Donia and Zdnson, some g miles northeast of Venice, the enemy forces crossed the stream and established bridgehead on the west side of the Piave. The Italians. however. imme- diately turned upon the invaders and the river.
 Venice Preparing.
 Realizing the close proximity of the enemy to Venice. preparations are be- ing made to protect the ancient city and it's historic buildings from the shells and guns of the invaders. Sand bags have been piled high around the palace of the Doges and the Campa- nile Doubtless most of tlie numerous works of art have been removed to places of security.
 Russian Situation.
 Out of the maze of contradictory statements regarding the Bolsheviki in Russia the salient fact seems to stand out that the Bolsheviki forces still are in control of Petrograd. A wireless dispatch received in London announces the complete defeat of the followers of Premier Kerensky and General Korniloff Monday in fighting near Tsarskoe-Selo. while in PetrO- grad the recalcitrants are declared to be maintaining the upper hand against the military cadets and other adher- ents of the Kerensky regime. Dis patches from Denmark assert that ad- vices received there are to the effect that the Bolsheviki soldiers and sail ors in Petrograd are committing all kinds of excesses and that the pOpu- lace is terror-stricken.
