Russia, at the beginning, saved

THE ITALIAN SITUATION.
LATE REPORTS SHOW THAT TT IS
FAR FROM DESPERATE.
Reassuring News Reaches Washington
by Official Cables From Rome
Plight OF Country Certainly Serious
But All Net Lost to TeutOnic Greed.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Reassuring
news came from Rome today in Of
fcial dispatches While serious, the
situation on the Italian front is de-
scribed as far from desperate. General
Cadorna's army is declared to be prac-
Iicaily intact and complete confidence
is expressed in his ability with aid
coming from the allies to stop the
drive.
The cablegrams summarize the sit
uation as follows:
The military situation on the Ital-
ian front is serious-it is far from
pelng desperate. At the present mo-
ment, having recovered from the first
surprise, it may be stated that our al
iies are preparing to offer a furious
resistance to the enemy the point
which without doubt General Cadorna
mas selected 1t is probable that il
the retreat should continue for a few
days longer the Italian resistance will
develop along the Tagliamento, an
important river which descends from
the Carnic Alps, or perhaps if the
Austro-Gernans attack in Cernia. IL

flows westward.
Whatever the number of Italians
taken prisoner, the strength of the
army of General Cadorna has not
been weakened. 1t must not be for
gotten that Italy has under the
colors moro than 3,000,000 men. Az
for the guns claimed to have been
captured. they only represent the pro-
duction Of a few weeks of the muni-
tions factories of our allies.
THE Italian army is practically in.
tact. Besides the French and English
are coming to our rescue. 1t has al
ready been announced at the begin
ming of the council Sunday evening,
the French ministers were busy de-
termining the extent and nature Of
the cooperation of the allies on the
Italian frons. The British government
has taken prompt measures to rush
aid to the ITALIANS and all indications
are that t. French and British sid
will come the hour when the ens-
my invades the plain of Frecule.
Meanwhile, awaiting developments,
Italian public opinion realizes thor
oughly the gravity of the hour and
is bearing the shock with calmness
and firmness.

battle which is about to take place
may be the last great battle of the

NORWAY SENDS NOTE TO KAIS.
ER.
Many Sailors Killcd-SIibmarjncs and
Warships Fire Oh Peaceful Ships
Going About Business at Sea.

London, Nov 1.-An Exchange Tel
egraph dispatch from Copenhagen
says Norway has presented a note to
Germany in connection with the sink
ing of the Norwegian steamships in
the convoy Of neutral merchantmen
which were attacked by German cruis-
ers in the North Sea last month. The
note calls attention to tho fact that a
year ago, after the sinking of Norwe-
gian steamships in the Polar seas,
Germany was notified that the Nor
wegian people would consider any
new case of the kind violation of
the laws Of humanity.
The Norwegian minister at Berlin
today handed the German minister OF
foreign affairs the following note:
According to the information SO
far received it must be regarded as
authenticated that certain ships of
the German navy in. the North Sea on
October II, after sinking escorting
British vessels, sank also a number
Of neutral merchant ships, among
which were several Norwegian ships,
without taking any steps either to at
tempt to save the crews or give therl
time to save themselves This conduct
on the part of the German warships
was the cause of great number Of
Norwegian sailors being killed or
wounded by shell fire or losing their
lives by drowning.
1.-THE Norwegian government will
not again state it's views, as it has al
ready done so on several occasions, as
to the violation of the principles OF
the freedom of the high seas incurred
by the proclamation of large tracts
OF the ocean as a war zone and by
the sinking of neutral merchant ships
not carrying contraband.
1T is owing to various measures
of this kind that Norwegian ships as
we'll as those of other neutrals have
been compelled, in order to procure
for Norway her essential imports, to
seek protection in the past, as they
VIII In the future, by allowing them
selves to be conveyed by warships be-
longing to Germanys enemies. The
Norwegian government bears in mind
that in the memorandum addressed to
the German government on October
20, 1916, occasioned by the sinking OF
Norwegian ships in the ice cold sea
by German submarines, it called at
tention to the fact that the Norwegian
nation considered in the light Of q
violation Of the laws of humanity the
last fresh case in which the death OF
Norwegian sailors was caused or their
lives or health exposed to danger, and
on that occasion the Norwegian gov
ernment once again requested the
German government to take measures
so that the commanders of German
lives OF Norwegian sailors to danger.
whether by negligence or error of
judgment.
1T has made profound impress
sion on the Norwegian people that
not only have German submarines,
continued to sink peaceful neutral !
merchant ships. paying no attention
to the fate cf their crews, but thai
even German warships adopted tho
same tactics. The Norwegian govern.
ment decided to send this note in Or
der to bring to the attention of the
German government the impression
these acts have made upon the Nor.

ARMY FAVORITIs

ARMY FAVORITISM.-In your ar
ticle, will Marshall Field Ill En-
list?" published in The Day Book
April Is, the following sentence: 'If
the Field boy goes in and the officers
of the First cavalry play no favOrites
it will be a good thing for Chicago"
From what I was able to gather
from the papers last summer it would
appear that the officers Of this regi-
ment land I presume others, as welD
do play favOTites, and if I am in err
rOr I will be glad to be corrected.
The particular instance on which
my opinion is based is the following.
Last summer, when recruiting Off
GERS were sent to Chicago from the
border, 1 noticed that two Of the
newest recruits in the regiment were
sent up for that purpose, over the
heads of experienced officers, eff
Gent, older men, and here they
staid all summer, having no share in
the service Of the regiment on the
border. I refer to young Albert Loeb,
son Of the millionaire Loeb, connect
ed with the SearS-ROebUCk concern,
and young Reed Lands, son of our
esteemed and deseTvedly beloved
federal judge.
It would seem as if such hOnOrs
should be given to members of long
er standing as a recognition of faith
full and efficient service. AS this was
not done, was not the conclusion a
natural one that these particular
young men were selected because
their fathers happened to be men of
wealth and influence?
I have often wondered how this
particular affair appealed to Judge
Landis' sense of justice. I truly be-
lieve he did not relish it, especially
when recall that he said at one or
ganizatiOn before which he spoke
last summer: "a man must have an
OYersUpply Of patriotism, Of else be
