POLITICS. INTRIGUE
A STORY IN WHICH A LITTLE

Who Is Your Neighbor?

A theme that will have a univer-

starring Pauline Frederick at the
Idaho on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
This is the fact that not one of
us really knows all about the per-
sons nearest to us in daily life
For instance, in Double Cross
ed" a devoted young wife learns
for the first time of a youthful slip
on the part of her husband whom
she adored and whom she had IN
consciously placed upon a pedestal
too high for any man.
What happened when she found
out his crime and how a new and
deeper understanding was brought
about between them, is pictured by
Miss Frederick with all the Won
drous artistry of which she is capa-

the consolidation of the mass rests

The Tribune says the battle is de-
signing itself from operation to oper-
alton on the Italian front and it may
be the decisive encounter for the en-
tente. The Idea Nazionale says that
for the third time Italy is called upon
to save Europe.
The Socialist group in the Italian
parliament, following the big events
of the past few days is prepared to de-
clare truce to all political struggles

The Catholic newspaper Corriex d
lila after pointing out the political
aim of the AustrO-G German offensive,
which was made in the hope of caus-
ing internal discussions in Italy, says
"The blow given by Mackensen
against Italy is producing absolutely
a contrary political effect to that hop
ed for by the central powers. In fact
the effect has been to cement Italy's
internal resistance instead of disor-
ganizing it. Today we are all united
in one thought-the mother country is
in danger"
LONDON, Oct. 31-The eyes of the
world are turned today on the Venet-
ian plains in Italy centering on the
Tagliamento river where there is ev-
cry reason to believe the greatest bat
tie in the history of the war soon will
be fought.
The Teutonic army. already in pos
session Of Udine, today continued its
march toward the river. Another
German movement is on the north.
where Buelow's forces have almost
reached the upper Tagliamento.
Along the TagliamentO river. and not
far from Udine, General Cadorna's
forces are slowly retreating. Burning
their bridges behind them, exercising
a rear guard check to the enemy and
fording the swollen stream, wherever
possible. the retreat is slow but Ger
tain.
In the meantime British and French
assistance is being hurried 10 the
scene of the impending conflict
Everywhere military authorities say
the political effect of the enemy drive
in Italy is rapidly becoming apparent.
The political viewpoint brings out the
determination to stand firm and save
Italy.
Welded to this determination is the
belief in military circles that the
Teuton drive will act as a boomerang
to the enemy. 1t is now generally be-
lieved that the big spring drive which
would otherwise be late on account Of
waiting for the full strength of the
American troops, will be carried out
this winter regardless of weather con-
ditions.
