Heavy Teutonic Forces Being Massed for Another
Savage Attack, to Capture Venice and Turn Ro-
man Defenses; Rumania Said to Have Joined in
Armistice Proposal e
RUSSIA'S DETECTION WOULD LEAVE
SMALL COUNTRY QUTTE4ISOLATED
After -Four Days Desperate Fighting Germans
Stop for Breath on West Front With Nothing to
Show for Furious Attacks But Heavy Losses
(By Leased Wire to New Menicam.)

Austria Hungary, with whom the United States is on the
eve Of a declaration Of war as the principal ally of Germany,
is taking the lead in a new attempt to break through the pres
ent italian front, compel the retreat of General Diaz's armies
from the mountains, capture Venice, and permit the Austro-
German invaders to swarm over a wide extent Of the north
ern Italian plains.
A break in the Italian line at the point of the present
attack would flank not only the Piave line, but render the line
Of the Brenta, approximately thirty miles to the rear, impos-
sible to hold, and would mean an Italian retreat to the Adige,
some thirty miles further westward.
Rumanian troops are now said to be joining the Rus
slams in negotiations for an armistice with the central powers.
Berlin sends this report, which has not been confirmed from
other sources.
Rumania is isolated from her western allies and has been
dependent upon Russian support, the withdrawal Of which
would leave her front exposed on the north and her army
open to imminent danger of development.

VATICAN DENIES
ACCUSATION OF
OPPOSITION TO
ITALIAN CAUSE
Atrocious Calumny by
Morning Post, Says
Gasparri
HOLY SEE FULLY
NEUTRAL, STATES
(Ry Leased Wire to New M~exican.)

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
London, Dec. 5.-Cardinal Bourne
archbishop Of Westminster, has com
nunicated to the Morning Post a
| statement from Cardinal Gasparri
the papal secretary Of state. answer
ing the Posts accusation that tho
vatican was implicated in destructive
propaganda in Italy and is unneutral
Cardinal Gasparri declares the accu
sGtion is an "atrocious calumny," and
says the clergy in Italy have given
the most open and most generous
help to the country's and
have received unreserved praise from
the italian parliament and govern
ment. The cardinal adds that long
before the issuance of the papal
peace note, which is said to have
been among the chief causes of the
army's lowered morale the clergy
generally and the army chaplains
particularly we're laboring against the
destructive propaganda which had
been begun and which was reported
to be giving unrest to the civil au-
thorities.
The vatican, the cardinal declares,
Is panied and indignant at the Posts
charges and regards them as insult
ing.
Referring to the accusation that
the vatican espoused the Austrian
cause, Cardinal Gasparri reaffirms
the full and correct neutrality of the
Holy See. He says complaints have
been made in central Europe that
the vatican is looking excessively
toward the west, seeking to regain
its former position in France, and to
obtain a wider influence In the Brit
ish Isles and North America. He
adds:
IF some nations seem to be more
favored by the papal note these
certainly were not Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary, but those Of the en-
tente, particularly France and Bel
GUM. ***
The peace aimed at was not a Ger
man peace"
Cardinal Bourne tells the Post that
Pope Benedict has been urged from
each side to break with the govern
ments OF the other side. The Post,
in an editorial examining Cardinal
Gasparri's statement, virtually reiter-
ates its original accusation and cites
incidents which it regards as proofs.

GERMANS EXHAUSTED BY
FOUR DAYS. VAIN EFFORT

After four days of effort which
brought them but small gains OF ter
rain at a great cost in casualties, the
Germans have not renewed their eff.
forts in the Cambria sector. The Brit.
ish salient there, however, is still q
ena to the security of the Ger.
man lines north and south of Cambria
and the German artillery lombard
ment is probably but the prelude to
further desperate efforts to wipe out
the gains made by General Byng's
troops. British artillery yesterday
broke up enemy troop concentrations
east of Gouseaucourt and near Moeuv-
res, on the southern and northern
legs of the salient, respectively and
the Germans violently shelled the re-
gion of LaVacquerie, the center of
much of the fighting activity of the
past few days. That the German pur-
pose may have been to break through
into the Somme region as we'll as to
blot out the Cambria salient is indi-
CdIGu III dispatches HUM VhC AANAc.
But the efforts have been futile and
caused such losses that the let up
in the fighting activity probably is
due to the necessity for reforming
the attacking forces.
Isolated enemy attacks along the
northern Italian front have been
checked by the Italians, but the Aus
troGermans have not attacked again
in force. Troop movements continue
behind the enemy lines and the Ital-
ian artillery is busily Smelling them.
The Austro4Geman artillery has been
busy in the Asiago region. The enemy
attempts broken up by the Italians
were in the Giudicaria region west OF
the Brenta and between the Brenta
and the Piave.
Eighty passengers and the crew OF
the British steamer Apapa, of 1923
tons, were lost when the vessel was
torpedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine. 1t is reported that the sub
marine fired on open boats contain
ing women and children. About 100
passengers were rescued.
