Now or Never in Italy.

The Italian resistance which centers
around the Piave was apparently
doomed to defeat. 1t was quite inn
possible for greatly Joutnumbered ar
my to defend that position permanent
~. Therefore the early reports Of the
fighting were received merely as show
ing a splendid delaying action, fought
with the design Of postponing as lons
as possible the retreat to the next pos
ition. But as day has followed day
and each day We have read nothing OF
the expected retreat, but only of a fur
ious and sustained resistance, it has
begun to seem possible that the Piave
Is as far as the Germans will get.
The Italians are said to be outnum-
bered four or five to one. Even il
that is an exaggeration. they are out
numbered, and being outnumbered they
could not hope to keep up this kind ol
fighting indefinitely. What they have

Il Was Good Clean Fighting. Nobody
Fired : Shot.
II you Just mention Canada and AuS-
tralia in the same breath.
But I'm bound to say that It was
good. clean fighting. Nobody fred q
shot. nobody pulled bayonet. and no
body got the wrong idea about any,
thing. The Australian heavyweight
champion who landed on me went
right out in the street and saluted one
of our lleutenants. We had just one
satisfying reflection after the fight
was over-the Australian battalion
that relieved us fell heir to the coun-
terattack which the Germans sent
across to even up on our bombing raid.
Down to the somme.
We began our march to the Somme
by hike to St. omer. the first British
Headquarters In Europe. Then we
stopped for a week about twenty miles
from Calais where we underwent a
course Of intensified training for open
fighting. The infantry tactics, in which
we were drilled, were very similar to
those of the United States army, those
which. In fact, were originated by the
United States troops In the days Of
Indian fighting. We covered most Of
the ground around Calais on our stom-
achs in open order. While 1t may
seem impertinent for me, 4 mere non
com. to express an opinion about the
larger affairs Of the campaign, I think
1 may be excused for saying that the
war didn't at ell take the course which
was expected and hoped for after the
fight on the Somme. Undoubtedly the
allies expected to break through the
German line. That Is well known now.
While we were being trained near
Calais for open warfare, very large
force Of cavalry was being assembled
and prepared for the same purpose. 1t
was never used.
That was last August, and the allies
haven't broken through yet. Eventually
I believe they will break through, but
in my opinion men who are drawn for
service in the frst half million Of our
new American army will be veterans
in Europe before the big break comes
which will wreck the Prussian hope of
success in this war. And II we Of the
q. s. A. don't throw in the weight to
beat the Prussians now they will not
be beaten, and in that case the day
will not be very far distant when we
will have to beat them to save our
homes and our nation. War is q dread
full and inglorious and Ill smelling and
cruel thing. But II we hold back now
we will be In the logical position Of q
man hesitating to go to grips with a
drunken, savage, shrieking, spewing
maniac who has all but whipped his
proper keepers and Is going after the
onlooker. However, I wish we had

The British drive on Cambria will be
followed up relentlessiv by similar Of
tensives along the western front, in the
opinion Of officers familiar with what
is IN prospect IN France. Authorita-
tive announcement has been made
abroad already that this winter would
see no halt in operations, and with the
return Of American divisional COM
manders from observation tours IN
France It has become certain that the
French and British armies will pros
ecute midwinter campaigns such as
were never before attempted.
Already the allied troops have fore
ed their way forward against more SER
ious obstacles than they will encounter
later when the cold has hardened the
ground for the passage Of troops and
artillery The mud Of Flanders has
been the greatest barrier to major OPP
erations during the last few weeks,
bur the Cambrai attack was forced
home despite it.
Meagre official reports Of the pro-
gress Of the drive on Cambria indicate
clearly that General Byng's forces are
aiming at a great encircling movement.
With wide wedge driven into the
Cambria front, the British commander
apparently is working his way behind
the German lines on his left flank.
Il he succeeds in penetrating deeply
in that direction many officers here
believe he will force retirement hy the
Germans on a wide front.
Meanwhile the British and French
pressure further toward the Belgian
coast is unceas;ng A new offensive ef-
fort there is expected as part OF the
whole plan on which the allies are en-
gagged of forcing the Germans back
from a long section of the coast, where
submarine bases are situated. The
Cambria successes have an important
bearing, in the opinion Of officers here
on this general plan of accomplishing
during the winter a decisive result in
the coastal region as the foundation

paign can be laid

Time to Act Quickly.
The Russians here say that II the
inter- allied war council at Paris is
energetic enough there Is still time to
prevail against the German propa-
ganda that has practically eliminated
Russia from the war.
The Russian embassy does not rec
ognize the bolsheviki government ana
there being no other government, the
status of Mr. Bakhmeteff is rather
difficult to appraise. Naturally no
official announcements are coming
from the embassy, but the view in the
big house on Sixteenth street is that
it will not do for the allies to declare
Russia outside the pale of civilization,
as one English statesman suggests.
More good can be accomplished by
the allies" said one Russian today,
by addressing the people of Russia
in reason, in patience and in persua-
sion than by declaring that they have,
by their struggles to realize their un-
accustomed freedom, forfeited their
right 70 be considered one of the family
of nations.
Speak to the People.
Let the allies rather seek to con-
vince the Russian people, while wait
ing for the restoration Of a strong,
intelligent government, that the neso-
tiat;ons Of an arNistice would tend to
destroy the very aims of their own
maximal!Sts"
The view OF Russians in America is
that the allies are partly to blame
for The Russian debacle. They say
that while Germany took advantage
Of confusion 10 push her pCopa ganda
the allies remained aloof, concerned
only With Russ!as part in the war.
and German propaganda, unopposed,
naturally succeeded.
The impression he-eabouts is that
this country tavors a continuance OF
the policy OF Cancellation rather than
the abandonment of Russia to Ger
many. with the consequent measures
OF repr!sal.
