faTlS, NOV. lZ.-Premler Lloyd
George, alluding to.a centralized direc.
ton of the allied efforts, m his speech
at luncheon in his honor here today
said:
time to consult the United States or
Russia before creating this council
The Italian disaster necessitated ac-
ton without delay.
But, in order to assure the com
plete success of this great experiment
which believe is essential to the vic
tory of our cause, il will be necessary
that all our great allies be represented
in the deliberations
Mr.. Lloyd George developed at con,
siderable length the reasons for not
taking the step earlier. He referred
to "timidities and susceptibilities'
when it came to treating questions or
any front not commanded by generals
taking part In the inter-allied con
sultations. The allies had committed
a great fault, he said, in not adequate
ly assisting Serbia in holding hel
lines, with the result that the centra
empires broke the blockade and pro
cured men and supplies from the east
without which Germany doubties
would have been unable to maintain
the forces of her armies.
Why Fault was Committed.

Nov IL (by the Associated Press -
The Italians are holding the Austro-
German advance on the Piave line.
Early reports frosa the front today
we're favorable Heavy shelling is in
progress all along the new front
The Italians are entrenched back
of the west bank Of the Piave river.
and the Austro-G German force now Is
taking the place of the advanced
guard on the east bank, The strip OF
water between the opposing lines, Is
about a half mile, widening at some
points to mile.
An observer just back from a tour
along the line told the correspondent
that the cannonade had become con-
tinuous. The AustfianB are using Ave-
inch guns, not yet having brought up
many of their heaviest pieces. The
enemy is turning his fire against the
high Campanile bell towers Of small
villages fringing the western bank to
prevent the Italian artillery from u.s.
ing them as observation posts. The
Italian artillery reply Is spirited from
a considerable number of guns that
they succeeded In bringing back from
the old front.
The battle front has two main sec
tors. The lower extends from Feltre
to the sea and the upper Feltre west
ward. The Vidor bridge, where the
last Italian rear guards crossed the
Piave Is half way down the lower sec
tor. Near Feltre the river turns into
Tie mountains with valley and a
railway on the west bank.
The enemy Is on the west bank in
this mountain region and may attempt
to come down the valley and along
the railway. The Italians have no ad-
vantage Of a river defense AT thi5
point but they have strongly en-
| trenched themselves.
The fight at Asiago was clearly a
fceler to test the strength of the Ital-
Ian line. Snow is falling in the upper
regions and a severe cold spell pre-

The correspondent then continues:
-Four military cadet schools have
been the scenes of conflict. The
young officers were called upon to
surrender but refused on the ground
that they were acting under orders !
Some firing occurred, and in the case
of the Vladimir school the fight was
prolonged. the revolutionary forces

astrous results to the buildings.
when the school finally was taken
by the red guard some of the cadets
were killed and their bodies thrown

lynched in trying to save the lives OF

ward from Belluno and now are stand

is on the west bank of the piave. II
Is considered possible that the enemy
may make an attempt to press south

Slay Situation Obscure.
The situation In Russia is still OBJ
scure. No direct dispatches have
been received from the capital since
Sunday evening, when 1t was reported
that there had been considerable
street fighting In various parts of the
city In which the military cadets. fol-
lowers of Premier Kerensky. were
worsted by the Bolsheviki troops al
several points. The fighting was be-
gun by the cadets owing to reports
that Kerensky With a large body OF
men was close to the capital. This
premier and his followers, however
had not put in an appearance up to
Sunday night.
On the battle fronts in France and
Belgium comparative calm prevails
except for the usual artillery activity
and raiding operations,

MORALE OF GERMANS
SHOWS WEAKNESS

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France. Nov. l2,-Increasing dsor-
ganization among the enemy forces is
indicated in statements made by cap
tured prisoners, while the decline in
the morale of the officers is unques-
toned. One officer states that when
we attacked on Saturday all the other
officers in his battalion ran back 10
shelter. some 900 yards behind the
front line, leaving the warrant Of
ficers, non-commissioned officers and
men to carry on. In another instance
no fewer than eleven officers were
captured in ono dug out. With sHch
conduct. growing discomfort is report
ed among the rank and file. The
statements of prisoners lead to the
conclusion that the whole fabric of
German arms is held together by hit
tie more than iron discipline.

front the benefits of moral and re-

half per cent of the girls are less

half of them have been subjected by
