ed them back, broken and bleeding.
The official statement tonight
brought quiet rejoicing in the capital
tonight. Italy knows great forces of
men n-and guns from her allies are on
the way to supplement her own ef-
forts. Some British artillerymen have
already gotten into action. On the Ad-
riatic coast British monitors are like

vessels in bombarding enemy positions

enemy suffered terribly from the fur

The war office also asserted the

Zenzon loop of the Piave was being
more and more restricted" Violent

NAVAL FORCES ACTIVE.
Italian naval forces are known to
be in this section. During the retreat
to the Piave river line, the war office
announced tonight vessels had landed
sailors who greatly assisted the army
to prepare positions. The unquench-

ONCE SOURCE OF HOPE.


The fact that the moderate Social
lists were reported to have attained
such strength as to force the Bolshe-
Wiki leaders to concede their party
representation in the future govern
ment was one source OF optimism here
Not all observers of Russia had CIV
en- up hope of Kerensky's rehabilita :
tion in power. 1t was pointed out that
several times in his rapid rise Ker-
ensky has overcome almost insuper-
able obstacles. Moreover, Petrograd
Moscow and Finland do not represent
all of Russia-the great peasant popu-
lation has not yet been heard from.
The only information regarding the
former premier today came ffom Boil
shevilSi sources and was naturally col
ored to make 1t appear that his down
fall mad been absolute and complete.
NO DOUBT OF DEFEAT.
Dispatches apparently under control
of the provisional government and the
Bolsheviki forces alike, however, unit
ed in declaring that Kerensky and his
troops had been defeated. One Hap
aranda message stated the interven =
ton of 10000 Let's troops had thrown
the balance in favor of the Bolshe-
Wiki, forcing surrender of the provis
ional government forces.
Hunger may yet force a revulsion in
Petrograd.
Railway employees were scheduled to
strike today If their demands for in :
creased wages were not met by some
government order.
If the strike has been started 1t
means another paralysis of all trans
portation of food products to Petro-
grad. Two weeks ago before the Boil
sheviki coup, supplies were running
low. BY now they are probably very
scarce.

the war to date will disappear, II Is
believed.
A MILITARY MISSION.
The American mission, headed by
Colonel House, is war mission, In
that its business Is to try and find Udt
the quickest way to win the war. II
is, therefore. military mission and to
all intents and purposes will discuss
only military matters. This must be
interpreted, however, in a broad sense.
The thought and condition Of the peo-
pie of the various countries have their
bearing on military success or defeat
in the battle front. These subjects,
therefore. will come up for discussion
along with various others that enter
into the broad field.
The people of the United States
know what they are fighting for. II
has been made clear that America .ex-
poets no gain out of the war other than
that which will be gained by all hu-
manity in stamping out the world

HE NOBLY BEARS HIS LOAD

From every newspaper office
there will be flow of warmest
sympathy for the editor of the
WiIliamsville On. d. Item. AS
so often happens in the troubled
realm of journalism, he has
brought upon himself reprehen-
sion that will not be in the slight
est degree mitigated out of con-
sideration for the excellence of
his intentions-he has offended a
reader whom he was trying to
please and he has the dreary con-
seriousness that his apologies are
useless.
For the printed, like the writ
ten. word remains, and wrong
once done can not be Wi ped out.
Still, The Items editor has done
his poor best to set himself right,
and in doing so he tells the whole
tragicaI story-thus:
eve wish to apologize to Mrs
Orlando Overlook. lin our paper
last week we had as a heading
Mrs. Overlook Big Feet The
word we had ought to have used
| is French word pronounced the
same way but spelled fete. 1t
means a celebration and is con-
sidered a very tony word"
There speaks a warm, honest
heart, bowed down by sincere
grief. But will Mrs. Orlando
Overlook relent and forgive? 1t
is easier to hope that that to ex-
pect it, for she has suffered the
ultimate pangs, and, after all, it
is but poor consolation for her
to learn that her cruel wrongs
were due to the search for a tony
word.
There would have been a bet.
ter chance of escape for this I'M
fortunate editor if he had left the
task of explanation uninterrupted
and followed the time-honored
habit of putting the blame on the
compositor and the proofreader.
Their lot is naturally an unhappy
one, and no single increment OF
their responsibilities adds apprec-
iably to the total.-New York
