Exactly the same conditions exist

The Germans do 10 claim to have

"TTALY's EAsTERN.FRONTIER
TEMPORARILY LOST" t

London. Nov. 1.-The military cor
respondent of the Times says of the
Italian operations:
1.-The fact that General Won Buelow,
with an inconsiderable force of Ger
man troops. has burst through the
Julian front and that Austrian col
umns have found other badly defend
ed points in the Carnic Alps is r
tainly very unfortunate and we have
no need to minimize the gravity of the
situation. Italy's eastern frontier
temporarily is lost"
The correspondent finds q silver I'm
ing to the cloud in that, although the
season approaches for the operations
in France and Flanders to die down,
there is nothing to prevent fighting on
Italian plains throughout he winter.
This is advantageous to the side with
the greater resources. He adds:
'The Geremans beckon us to the
Italian front and with a very hearty
good will we shall oblige them"

to Italy will take the form principally
of shipping sufficient to transport
supplies needed for relief Of the
armies blocking the Teutonic ad-

ping has been promised Italy by the
shipping board and the vessels will
be turned over as soon as possible.
Four vessels already have been placed
at the disposal of the Italian gov
eminent.
The movement Of supplies will be
facilitated greatly by the ~suspending
of export restrictions on shipments to
Italian ports. Italy's chief demands
are for coal and steel.

Ing. While our Infantry attacked the

through the desert and approached It

"Beersheba was occupied in the eve

Indications from Palestine are that,
with the Of favorable weather,
the British are resuming their active
campaign up the Syrian coast. The
capture by British troops of Beer
'sheba, approximately forty miles
southwest OF Jerusalem, is reported
In an official statement today.
When the operations In Palestine
halted last spring the British had
pushed up the coast from the Sinai
Peninsula to the gates Of GAIA, on
the coast in southern Palestine, while
IN interior Palestine their columns had
advanced on a virtually parallel FRONT
to the vicinity of Beersheba. There
were reports that there had been a
penetration as far northward as Heb
ron, which Is less than 20 miles from
jerusalem Reports early last month
stated that the British and revolving
Arab forces from the southern inter-
Tor had effected a Junction in South
erations by these forces against the
Turks might be expected shortly.
Beersheba is the southernmost town
In the Holy Land and is but 40 miles
from Jerusalem. Besides it's frequent
mention In the Scriptures as an i'm
portant holy place. Beersheba is men

|Iourtn century as a large village and
the seat Of a Roman garrison. Exten-
sive remains Of the village of that
time exist although they are being
rapidly quarried away for building
purposes elsewhere. Some inscrip-
tons OF great importance have been
found and some very fine mosaics, al
though the most Of the latter have
been DESTROYED by the natives in quar-
rying for the building stone. Beer
sheba was for hundreds of years the
seat of a btshopric and remains of
churches were still standing in the
fourteenth century.
In biblical lore at Beersheba Abra-
ham planted a sacred tree, and divine
manifestations were vouctsafed to
Hagar, Isaac. Jacob and Elijah. and
Amos mentions 1t in connection with
the shrfnes Of Bethel and Gilgal. +,
v ancient wells still exist there.
although two Of them have. been
stopped up in recent years to increase
the flow Of the remaining five. It is
probable the place gets the name from
the seven wells" although this the
DRY would have to be based on a non
Semitic origin.
The capture Of Beersheba by the
British is most important from the
fact that 1t shows more clearly than
ever before how imminent is the de-
scent of the British forces on Jerusa-
lem.

o'clock and / O'Clock today. In the
list of parcels of land offered for sale
there were also some pieces that had

to the advertisements and spent sew
eral hours at the court house uncertain
as to just when the sale was to be
