Unsuccessful on the Piava,
German Troops Attempt
Breach Thru North Line.
RETREAT HAS BEEN HALTED
Six Days of Battle Shows That
Enemy Has Neared Limi-
tations of Drive.

~! IA" Associated Press
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, saturday. Nov.
l'.-The battle OF the Piave river as
l, VIII be known, now has developed
10 stage where the enemy's first at
tcmpts To make a breach in the ItaI-
IAN lines have failed. This defensive
result has not only been achieved by
the italian army, but time has been
secured to effect that recovery from
the retreat which will permit ths
army TO resume Its offensive power
as well as its defensive.
Enemy Is Alert.
The enemy was taking full adyart
age or TIE delicate period after the
retreat, know that every day counted
i3r me restoi alton of the .3olldty of
the Italian offensive force. In this
knowledge, too the Italian supreme
command is proceeding methodicaliy,
giving ground here and there and
holding elsewhere as all this Is part
or blow at a chosen moment.
one hears tonight in high quarters
that III the Piave line holds another
few days the tide Will be turned as
lis successful defense thru six fearful
days has established that the enemy
has his limitations.
Forces Held Back.
Thus far nothing beyond battallons
nave crossed the river. Only Zen
son and Grisolera are there any SER
lous Judgements on the west bank of
the Plavc and today the enemy was
forced back % tho river at Zen
son and elsewhere with more than a
thousand men captured while tho
flood water bar him before Grisolra.
IL is because the Piave has resisted
so wen that the enemy now is turn
ing his attention to the north and
trying TO make n breach there, which
he failed TO make OH the Piave. The
line on the north runs along Asiago,
Ciamon and Quero and there the ltal-
ian positions rssatns virtually un-
changed. In the east where the noun
tain line joins the Piave the Italian
position has been moved a little fur
ther back, not in giving ground but
to solidify the whole northern from
II om Mont Tondarecar on the west Il
the Piave on the east thus consolidate
ing the defense at the center and on
both northern wings
This is the situation tonight after
one of thy most trying weeks ITALY
has ever known. 1t makes the whole
country breathe easier and await with
serenity. almost confidence, those
crucial days still ahead.

Council May See Ameri-
cans Sitting at Table.

LONDON. Nov. 1S.-Colonel Ed
ward NJ. House. head of the American
mission, has received cablegram
from President Wilson stating en-
phatically that the United States gov
ernment considers that unity of plan
and control between all the allies and
the United States is essential in order
to tchieve Just and permanent
peace.
President Wilson emphasizes the
fact that this unity must be accom-
plshed If the great resources of the
United States are to be used to the
best advantage and he requests
Colonel House to confer with the
heads of the allied govei nments with
1 view to achieving the closest pos
sible cooperation.
President Wilson has asked Colonel
House to attend the first meeting of
the supreme war council with Gen

wiser.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Artho no

was made at the time, 1t was gen
orally known when Colonel House
and his mission left Tor Engl.nd that
the United States favored the crca-
ton OF = joint military staff on which
! it would have representation.
Cooperation of endeaVor in all
matters pertaining TO the conduct OF
the war was the object for which
the American mission was sent
abroad. This Was to apply not alone
to economic problems, but TO mill
tary questions as well, it was to be
expected that Colonel House and Gen
eral Tasker H. Bliss, chief of staff
! OF the army would attend the first
meeting of the joint war council sci
lup since the Austro- German drive
against Italy began.

Of Medil Mccormick, congressman

Mr.. Mccormick said:
"The Germans are not winning the

THE war today presents a stalemate

Russia and the unreadiness of the

Two Years More.
Nowhere In Europe did l find an
informed soldier or public man who
believed that a military decision could
be achieved before 1919. when the
United States might be ready to add
effectively to the sum of pressure on
the central empires. Perhaps eco

diarism and murder Russia is so dis
ordered that she can not make war
Happily, in all probability, neither
can she make peace. Germany might
propose concessions and inder.nities
in the west and recoup herself in the
east.
No Success In Italy.
They made n seemingly success
full drive into Italy. III the German
command hoped for true military
success, certainly they did not believe
that they would achieve IL. The real
object OF their political foray into Ve-
netia was partly to make camouflage
on grand scale To conceal their
heavy losses from Nerdun to Pass
chendaele, and partly to provoke
revolution in Italy.
"The issue of this war will be de-
cided not on the lsonzo or the Piave:
not on the Meuse or the Rhine. but
in Washington, and by the furnaces
of America"
