London, Nov. lit is now known that
litica and military leaders in London
were among the most important of the
entire war. Not only was the Italian
situation discussed with reference to i'm
mediate relief measures, but preliminary
plans were considered for the co-ordina-
tion and unifcation of all naval, military
and economic operations.
1t is expected that particular attention
will be directed, whenever the Italian
situation shall become less absorbing to
the huge problem of closely organizing
virtually the entire world outside the
central empires, in league designed to
bring the universal financial and material
resources to bear more strongly against
the Huns.
The scheme involves reciprocal and
community relations among the coun
tries possessing the capacity to provide
particular necessities, whether of food or
industrial products, man power or fnan
cial capacity. In short, it represents
gigantic project, literally modelling and
organizing the world against Germany
1t is not known what preliminary
work heretofore has been done in this
connection, or how long it will require
to work out such a scheme among the
nations, or the extent to which the gov
ernments have tentatively acquiesced in
the plan. Only general intimations of
such an enterprise thus far have been
given out
The Italian situation continues to be
InI - 4
Germans crossing the Tagliamento and |
maintaining heavy. pressure against |
the Italians. Reports agree that the |
French and English were remarkably |
successful in hurrying reinforcements to |
Italy, where they were received with |
great enthusiasm by both the people and |
the soldiers. The French authorities are |
credited with special promptness, .efficien-
cy and foresightedness in rushing effec-
tives southwark.
There is much variety of opinion as to
what American forces are now IN Europe
reports indicate that the
numbers are already vastly greater than
is commonly known, either there or in
America. Germany is not deceived in
this matter and she is making extreme
efforts to win spectacular success in
Italy preparatory to a new bid for peace.
This opinion is everywhere accepted.
In this connection significance is at
tached to the Dutch reports that Austria
and Germany are preparing an upward
revision OF their war aims and demands
N the event of decided success in Italy
These stories are undoubtedly inspired as
/ part Of the German game designed to ,
brighten people, if not the governments,
IF the allied countries; to cause the II
masses of the people to fear very long /,
war and accordingly strengthen the !
hands of the pacifists everywhere.
If such be the German purpose, there &,
s every indication of its failure Brit ,
sh labor is strongly supporting the war
policy, as indicated in the result of the :
itrike ballot by South Wales miners, .
where the proposal to strike was over /
defeated without serious :
outside urgency because the miners were /
convinced that it was nationally neces-
AIRY for the industry to proceed. I
Likewise in both Italy and France po-
itical chickering's have been forced into
