General cadorna's armies in
northern Italy are again in retreat
forced back by the power Of the
Austro German thrust.
= The line of the TagIiamento,
whore the Italians have been,
making a stand after their retreat
from the lsonzo, has been won by
the invaders and tho Italians have
evacuated it, Berlin reports.
Virtually all of eastern venetia
also, Il would appear from the Off
eial statements, is being left to
Austro German occupation. Rome
announced this morning-that an
evacuation Of the mountain dis
tricts north Of the valley districts
was in progress. This was estab-
Iished by Berlin dispatches telling
Of an advance on the colbrieon to
the Fella valley.
These momentous events mean
an italian withdrawal along the
entire front as far west as the edge
Of the Trentino district. coIbricon
is near the Austrian border, about
forty miles northeast Of Trent,
while the FeIla valley lies almost
in a direct line north from Udine.
Tho whole Italian line apparently
is being drawn back in the dirsc-
ton Of this Piave. which runs ap-
proximateiy twenty five mils4 west.

Statement Of Secretary Lansing.
In his statement accompanying the
announcement, Secretary Lansing, IN
part, said: .f
There had unquestionably been
growing up between the peoples Of the
two countries feeling Of suspicion
as to the motives inducing the activl-
ties Of the other in the far east, a feel
ing. which, If unchecked, promised TO
develop serious situation.
YThe attitude OF constraint and
doubt thus created was fostered and
encouraged by the campaign of false
hood, which for long time had been
adroitly and secretly carried on by
Germans, whose government, as part
OF the foreign policy, desired especially
to so ALLEVIATE this country with Japan
that 1t would be at the chosen time no
difficult task to cause rupture OF
their good relations.
German Program, Defeated.
fortunately this distrust was not 50
general in either the United States nor
Japan as to affect the friendly rela-
tions of the two governments, but there
Is no doubt that the feeling OF sus-
,picion was increasing and the. untrue
reports were receiving more and more
credence in spite Of efforts on both
sides Of the Pacific; to counteract
movement which would jeopardize the
ancient friendship Of the two nations.
The visit Of viscount Ishii and his col
leagues has accomplished great
change Of opinion in this country.
ItY,, - 10, fhaaa evil
Influences the representatives Of Japan
have cleared the atmosphere which
had been clouded by our enemies or
spread by misguided peoples in both
countries. In few days the propa--
ganda Of years has been undone and
both nations now are able to see how
near they came to being led into the
trap so skillfully set for them"

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 5.-The crossing Of the
Tagliamento at Pinzano by consider
able force Of the enemy should not be
a surprise as this has been foreseen
from the heavy pressure the Austro-
Germans were concentrating on the
Italian left wing. :.a,-4# !,
The river Tagliamento Is on one OF
series of defenses. Its main purpose
was to retard the enemy's advance and
to gain time for the Italians in which
to rehabilitate and reconcentrate.
The Tagliamento has served that
useful purpose and the enemy now is
faced by another main line Of defense
and other water-courses.
Now Line Not Revealed.
What line the Italians have chosen
for their final stand can not be In
dicated: Two theories prevail concern
ing the outcome Of the present oper-
atoms. One is that the Italian army
will concentrate along q chosen line,
with the French and British REIN
forcements. The other is d that the
Austro- Germans will not push on much
further because Of the coming winter
General 'Cadorna is using strong
measures to restore the efficiency OF
his troops and will repress .sternly the
few who falter. An order posted today
warns all 4hose belonging to the
mobilized forces that II they fall to re-
port within five days they will be
treated as deserters in the face Of the
enemy. Indications are that the strong
measures adopted are having the effect
of restoring normal conditions rapidly

Russian Premier Deplores

RUSSIA STILL IN
WAR IN EARNEST
Will Continue to DO Full Duty But
Must Have Material Aid Of Allies,
Relterates Head Of New Democracy
! Expresses Astonishment at Misun'
derstanding on Part Of English Press
--kerensky Head Of War Department

Petrograd, Nov. 6.-Russia is still
doing her utmost to carry on the war
She will continue to do her duty.
There are the views Of Premier ker-
ensky. whose secretary in his name
protested today against any other IN
terpretation of his recent interview
with the Associated Press.
David Soskice, the premier's secre-
tary, made the following statement to-
day regarding the "mininterpreta-
ton by some of the London press OF
the interview:
IT have seen M. Kerensky with ref
erence to the interview and shown him
quotations from the English press He
was very much astonished at the man
ner in which his plain statements were
received in London. Who ever read
the whole interview can, draw but one
conclusion from it-Russia was doing,
Is doing and still will do her utmost
to carry on her share of the common
cause against the enemy, having de-
voted all her might from the very first
days Of the war; when England only
began her vast preparations and Amer
ica was still neutral.
.-~ Feels Pinch Of War.
'.Russia, which always was much
poorer economically than her mighty
allies, now naturally feels the pinch
Of war more than England and Amer
lea, and, therefore, is justified in the
contention that her allies should
shoulder the heavier burden and as
sist her unstintedly with war material
and finances in the matter of her re-
Quirements
"The neutrality-suspicious. in this, in
terview pointed out that not every one
Of the allied countries appreciates the
great part Russia has played and still
is playing In the war and some were
inclined to attack her bitterly because
of the great difficulties with which she
is confronted now. She will continue
to do her duty"
M. Soskice said the interpretations
Of the American press Of his interview
were pleasing to NJ. Kerensky The
latter recently recovered from serious
illness and in a few days Is going to
England on official business.
