GERMAN ITALY ATTACK FAILS
Offensive Against Latins Was Made In
an Attempt to Extricate Teuton
Armies on the Western Front,
Says Report.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Declaring
that "the week just closed has been
one very favorable to the allied arms"
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker in
his weekly review of war conditions
paid high trib1te to both the British
and italian arms.
Germany, he declares, took the Of
fensive in Italy to extricate herself
from the increasingly difficult position
in which the German arms find them
selves on the west front. This has
failed, the secretary says. Summing
up the result and the outlook, Mr..
Baker says:
1T Is the wastage of the enemy
forces, the slow, yet relentless sapping
of the man power by continued and
sudden offensive thrusts, which must
eventually result in the softening of
his line In the west. This is the ulti-
mate objective of the series of inten-
sive otfensives so successfully pur-
sued by the allies during the past six
months and is even more important
than the gain in territory"
Favorable to Allies.
The complete review as made pub
lie by the secretary is as follows:
"The week just closed has been one
very favorable to the allied armies.
"The success of the British offen-
sive in the region of Cambrai and the
steady resistance of the Italians in the
face of repeated attacks of the Austro-
German forces are two factors which
may be considered as co-relatlve ele-
Ements of one and the same movement.
ut is evident that the enemy took

to extricate himself from the increas-
ingly difficult position In which his
forces find themselves in the west
Sought to Check Drives.
"The German higher command were
apparently confident that, in order to
save Italy from invasion, such i'm
portant contingents of French and
British troops would be detached from
the western front as to render any
further allied offensive In this theater
impossible.
"Though the French and British
have both dispatched large contin-
gents to Italy, this has in no way
hampered. the continuance Of their Of
fehsive operations.
ut is the wastage Of the enemy
forces, the slow, yet relentless, sap
ping of his man power by continued
and sudden offensive thrusts, which
must eventually result in the soften
ing of his line in the west.
"This Is the ultimate objective of
the series of intensive offenses so sue
cessfully pursued by the allies during
the past six months, and is even more
than the gain of terrain.
"The military situation is dominated
by the spectacular success gained by
the British forces in their thrust to-
ward Cambria.
Praises British Strategy.
"By adopting new tactical methods
by evolving a strategy daringly con-
ceived and brilliantly executed, the
British forces have been able to record
greater success, ,@when measured by
captured terrain, than any hitherto
achieved by either belligerent in the
same space of time along the western
'front.'"

After more than an hours confer
enee this morning with the members
of the harbor board ,over the Waikiki
Beach reclamation scheme and kind-
red subjects, Governor Pinkham
angrily refused to give to a represen

of the meeting.
Previous to this, when the four COM
missioners and the acting chairman
had filed into the executive chamber
for the session, the governor had re-
fused admission to the same represen.
tative. In an attempted interview fol
lowing the meeting the. gov.

to get the happenings Of the meeting

mated that though things had hap

One of the commissioners shortly
after the meeting and before the gov.

outlined for the clearing off of Wal.
kiki Beach had been proposed to the
governor. He said the meeting was
upon a subject of interest to the pub.
lie as a whole and he believed the
governor would be glad to talk upon
it. He intimated the governor sought
to combine his reclamation project
with the boulevard proposals of the
harbor board.
Plans for the meeting with the gYV-
ernor were discussed at a harpor
board session some nights ago, when
Commissioner Wakefield proposed the
scheme of running boulevard along
the beach from the harbor to Dlar

tion of what to do with obstructions
along it in big project. II was
stated today by member OF the
board that the project will be pushed
