 The trustees of the Carnegie en- dowment for international peace, as- sembled in annual meeting at Wash . irgton, D. C., on April 1920 last. adopted the following resolution by unanimous vote:
 "Reso1ved. That the trustees of the Carnegie endowment for international peace, assembled for their annual meeting, declare hereby their belief that the most effectual means of pro- noting durable international peace is to prosecute the war against the i'm peria1 German government to final victory for democracy, in accordance with the policy declared by the presi- dent of the United States
 'In view of recent events, empha sized by the widespread intrigueS of the German government to deceive snl mislead the peace-1oving people of the world the executive committee of the peace endowment unanimously reaf- firms this declaration and pledges the Carnegie endowment for international peace to the loyal support of those courses of action that will assure the arms of the allied forces The path to durable international peace, on which the 1iberty-loving nations of the world would so gladly enter, is now blocked by the blind reliance of Ger many upon the invincibility of Ger man military power and upon its ef- fectiveness as an instrument of inter rational policy. This reliance must be broken before any other effective steps can be taken to. secure international hrnkaT1 hv a. feat
 "The executive committee of the Carnegie endowment call upon all lovers of peace to assist in every pos sfble way in the effective prosecution of the war, which has peace and not conquest for its aim." .-=

cial despatches. While serious, the situation on the Italian front is de- scribed as far from desperate; General Cadorna's army Is declared to be practically intact, and complete con- fidence is expressed in his ability with aid coming from the allies to stop the Austro-German drive.
 The cablegrams summarize the sit uetion as follows: c.
 Military Situation Not Desperate.
 ''The military situation on the Italian front is serious-it is far from being desperate. At the present moment having recovered from the first sur prise, 1t may be stated that our allies are preparing to oppose a furious re- sistance to the enemy at the point has selected. It is proba1e that if the retreat should continue for a few days longer the Italian resistance will de- velop along the Tagliamento, quite af1 the Cerna Alps, or perhaps, if the attack in Cernia, it will be on the Pisve river, which flows westward.
 Strength of Army Not Weakened.
 Whatever the number of Italians taken prisoner, the strength of the army under General Cadorna has not been weakened; It must not be for gotten in fact that Italy has under the colors less than three million men. As for the guns that the Austro- Ger mans claim to have captured, they only represent the production of a few weeks of the munitions factories of cur allies.
 Italian Army is Practically intact.
 The Italian army is practically in- tact Besides, the French and English are coming to our rescue. It has ai- ready been announced that at the be- ginning of the council Sunday even ing the French ministers were busy determining the extent and nature of the cooperation of the allies on the Italian front. This same question was further considered by the council Monday morning and by the war com rittee which was held at the Elysee M. Poincare- presiding. The British government has taken prompt meas- Ies to rush aid to the Italians and all indications are that this French and British aid will come at the hour when the enemy invaGes the plain of Ere oule.
 Meanwhile, awaiting development, Italian public opinion realizes thor Cughly the gravity of the hour and is bearing the shock with calmness and frmness.
 The Italian press declares that the battle which is about to take place may be the last great battle of the war"
