Teuton Newspapers Openly
Discuss Prospect of
Drive at Salonica

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 2O.-Reports
from several sources in Germany bear
out the assumption that, taking advan-
tage Of the situation in Russia, the
German government is making heavy
transfers of troops from the Russian
front.
Only part Of them appear to be 60
ing to Italy, wnere the front is too
narrow to permit Of the use OF great
masses. and a blow by Won linden
burg at some other point, in the way
of a division, may perhaps be expected.
Some troops are reported 20 have
been moved 20 the Western front. but
this Is not necessarily significant, as
Field Marshal Haig's pounding tactics
necessitated frequent reliefs for ex-
hausted German divisions.
German newspapers discuss with sus-
picious frsnkness and avidity the pros
pect of an offensive on the Salonlca
front, but have never a word TO say
about the obvious chance of a smash
ing blow at Rumania in an effort 70
end the resistance Of that nation.
AS for Italy, if the Austrians and
Germans find the reinforced Italian
army too hard a nut to attempt TO
crack. the Central Powers can easily
and quickly change 70 the defensive on
a strong line for the purpose Of seek
ing TO force a decision on some other
selected front with the bulk Of their
strategic reserve.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-A telegram from

No Conquest Planned,
Say Pamphlets Dropped
By Austrian AUidtors
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-An official
dispatch from Rome to-day says Com
mander in Chief Diaz has ordered a
message to be distributed to his troops
in part as follows:
"The young soldiers Of the class 1899
have received the baptism Of fire. On
the river which to-day bars the enemy
from the roads leading further into
our motherland they have conducted
themselves magnihcently. Their ardent
enthusiasm, coupled with the expert
ence Of older companions. triumphed
over the enemy.
Some Austrian battalions which had
dared 70 cross the Piave have met their
fate. Twelve hundred prisoners were
taken, and some guns, which had fallen
into the hands Of the invaders, have
been recaptured and brought again by
our soldiers 10 the positions marked by
the bodies of the artillerymen, who re-
NAMED at their post of duty to the
very end"
The dispatch adds:
Enemy airplanes continue TO throw
pamphlets to our soldiers in which they
express their benevolent disposition
toward the invaded towns and the pop
ulations, also assuring the soldiers that
the Austrians have a scrupulous respect
for international law, and that the pres
ent occupation of our territories has
only temporary military character,
without aims Of conquest.
This system has the immediate pur-
pose of weakening the fighting spirit Of
the Italians, trying to make them feel
that there is no need Of fighting longer
if the invaded regions are going to be
returned without further sacrifice on
their part. To the enemy snare the
Italian soldiers reply with multiplied
ardor in the fight"

Paris, Nov. 20.-Reports that had
been received here from Italy to the eff

NOS disappearance. They assert he is

Theaters and all places Of amuse-
ment should have a very successful spring
