ALLIES AID TO
ITALIAN FRONT

GadOrna Has 6 or z Days To
Prepare Tagliamento Defense.
Allies Men and Guns To Be
There by That Time.
POLITICAL CRISIS GAINS DOWN
Hun Menace Tends To SupO

Germany Playing Trump Card
To End War Thru Italy.

Washington. Oct. 3O.-The turning
point in the great struggle between
General Cadorna's Italian forces and
the invaders on the plains of north
4taly will come within a week, Off
cial Rome cables declared today It
will take Cadorna at least SIX or seven
days to withdraw to the Tagliamento
line and consolidate his forces there,
the cables say. By that time heavy
endorsements from the allies, both in
men and munitions, are expected to
check the Huns.
To prevent organized preparation
for a turn on the Teutons, however,
Won Mackensen is forcing his troops
DAY and night. Kaiser Wilhelm is ex-
pected to Join Emperor Carl at the
Front Immediately to urge further
haste.
All dispatches indicate Germany is
playing her last trump card in an eff
fort to force an end of the war thru
Italy.
It is officially declared here that
political conditions in Italy are i'm
proving under the crisis The leading
iIallan newspapers are calm, the ca
bles show.

SUI OF the struggle" says the Idea
Nazlonale. 1T is now ItaIy's duty and
honor to sustain this big offensive.
And she is doing so with perfect con-
fidence that she will be able to show
herself worthy of her destiny and the
confidence of her allies"
Italy's cabinet crisis, cables added,
has virtually settled under demands
for instant action to repel the Hun in
vaders. Sonnino will be retained as
minister of foreign affairs with Bis
solati and Nitti, holding important
portfolios under Prime Minister Or
lando. Maintaining the morale of the
civilian population will be the big
task of the new cabinet
Entente military men here make no
attempt to conceal the general chagrin
felt at allied misjudgment of Italy's
needs and Germany's strength.
1t is now too late for this country

France and England are expected to
get vast supplies to Cadorna imme-
diately. The twenty-five ships turned

Morning Grain Gossip.
FURNISHED by T. J. Myers, 301 n. E. Bldg

Chicago, Oct. 30-The Herald says: The
disposition on the 9art of most of the trad
ers is work the bear side of grains but
of late they have not had much success ow-
ing to the Misunderstanding oversold on de-
clines and rallying quickly when any good
buying appears. There is no balance wheel
to the corn market and none can be eX-
pected until liberal accumulation of
stocks is secured. The market is regarded
by many observers as mainly a weather
affair for the present. There are few, if
any, traders operating to any extent as
they desire to work in harmony with the
food administration. Under existing con-
ditions the largest bear operators are dis
posed to sell on bulges and at times press
breaks but they frequently take profits
while the pit element on the whole sell on
breaks and buy on the bulges.
One OF the Chicago cash handlers who
was back from the conference in New York
says he does not expect export buying of
oats to be large in the futgFe as in the
past much Canadian wheat is to be
moved out from now on.
mo unnecessary trading should be done
in old year provisions deliveries and only
in the most conservative way in January"
says John Tredwell. a specialist. I'VE do
not encourage shorts selling of January
provisions at the level they assume for De
cember hogs and with the worlds food re-
quirements apparent. For the sake of the
operator himself all orders in provisions
should be accompanied with price limits"
