Robertson, chief OF the general stan.
caused some commentators to insin-
uate that the reports were sent afioat
Intentionally by semi official hints. The
Morning Post connects the new plan
with the rumors and says both nation
and army are alarmed over 1t. It
adds {:
"a political counsel advised by a
military committee Is to direct the stra-
tcsy Of the allies army. The blood OF
the nation will run cold at 1ie idea
No more fatal and no more disastrous
arrangement can be conceived. Premier
Lloyd George seems to think that this
complicated project will achieve
strategic unity. 1t seems to US 1t Will
achieve strategic paralysis"
The Times says:
1.-The upshot Of the speech Is that
the premier Is anxious Of closer unity
In the control Of the allied armies. 1t
is an unimpeachable idea but the point
Is whether the machinery set up at
Rapallo will achieve this purpose.
Lloyd Georges instinct is sound inso-
far as he proposes to substitute sys-
tematlc council Of ministers for the
past spasmodic and Intellectual con-
ferences but he will come hopelessly to
grief unless he defines with far greater
precisio than Bonar Law did In the
house of commons the duties OF the
councils military committee.

Imagination and energy. His weak
ness is his failure to think out his

Stockholm, Nov. 13.-General Korni-
lon has entered Petrograd, where the
entire garrison except the sailors went
over to his side, according to Petro-
grad dispatch to the Social Demokratan
under Mondays date.
There was sanguinary fighting on
the Nevely Prospekt, says the dis
patch, and the bolsheviki failed to hold
even the worlkingman's quarter Of the
city. The foreign ambassadors, the
message reports, are now in communl-
cation with General Korniloff.
kilograms from Finland announce
the arrival Of Premier Kerensky in
Petrograd with his troops. Finnish
newspapers declare unreservedly that
the bolsheviki already have been over
thrown. Messages from Moscow and
southern Russia announce the country
Is In complete control Of the Cossacks,
who acknowledge the leadership Of
Kereneky. The bolsheviki were de-
feated badly at Tsenskoe Selo and re-
treated to Petrograd.
Another message says Premier
Kerensky announces that the seat ot
government Will be removed to Mos
COW. General Korniloff and General
Kaiedines have issued from Novo
Tcherskask, headquarters of the Cos
sacks, a proclamation summoning the
Russian people to unite against the

Powerful efforts are being ex.

vaders Of northern Italy to pierce
the Italian front in the eastern
Trentino, and by breaking forward
to the plains from the susans
valley to outflank the Italian line
on the lower Piave protecting ve-

BerIin's official report today
claims some successes for tho Teu-
tonic armies in this attempt. They
took Mont Longara, northeast Of
Asiago, and further to the north
east made headway between the
Sugana and cismon valleys, Storm
ing defensive works in this area.
The fighting here obviously is Of
a desperate nature and the italian
forces have shown themselves in a
mood Of determined resistance.

day, for instance. two peaks in
the same defensive xone AZ Mont

Secretary Baker Admits
Political Trickery Has
Call.
POINTS TO NEED
OF COOPERATION
Head Of War Department in Weekly
Review Of War Situation Comedies
Germany's Political Offensive Re-
veaIs Clearly Present Methods Of
Central Powers-British War Coun-
Gil Plan Attacked by Press.

Washington, Nov. 13-The effect Of
Germany's political offenses' against
Russia and Italy upon the task ahead
Of the allies is recognized in Secretary
Bakers weekly review Of military op-
erations, issued today by the war de-
Iartment.
"The close inter relation Of events on
all fronts can not too frequently be
emphasized" says the review. THE
political situation in Russia made it
possible for the enemy to detach i'm
portant contingents in the east which
were speedily transported to the Ital-
ian front.
TT is not unlikely that before initi-
ating their powerful drive against the
italian forces, the enemy made PAINS
taking and systematic attempts to un-
dermine the morale of the Italian
troops with view to breaking down
their resisting power.
Political Methods Of Germans.
This political offensive. conducted
preparatory to their military offensive
reveals clearly the present methods of
the Germans.
Surveying the broader aspects OF
the European situation today, we find
that the enemy IN the east Isl confin.
ing his efforts to political propaganda.
Along the italian sector he recently
has made desperate attempts to se-
cure a decision by means of politico-
military drive. In the west while at
tempting to sap the fighting strength
of the belligerent peoples, the enemy
has now been compelled to act on the
defensive and is being slowly but sure
ly driven back.
1T should be borne in mind, how
ever, that the further disintegration Of
the Russian forces will mean that the
Germans will be able to thin out their
line along this front, which will thus
automatically contribute to the stiffen-
ing Of their resistance to the west and
render available added contngcnts to
participate In the engagements now
proceeding in Italy.
British and French Gains.
During the week just closed, both
the British and French were able to
record significant tactical gains, the
elimination of long series Of power
fully driven offensives.
With Passchendaele securely in
British hand, the first stage Of the op-
erations begun during the last week Of
September have been brought to a sue
cessful conclusion.
"The French counterpart of the
Il 1,;+ +;,N,
Aisne. Here the retreat Of the enemy,
anticipated last week, was carried out.
THE pressure Of the French offen-
sive, which has grown method cally
In volume. reached climax when by
a recent French advance in this sec
tor, they were enabled to enfilade the
German lines along the crest Of the

II went on and gathered some men.
We spread ourselves out expecting a
heavy attack. AS matter Of fact, I
found out later, the raid was over and
the grenades we saw were being
thrown by retreating Germans"
Tt Is the opinion Of all the officers
that the troops are bearing up excel
lently under their first experiences in
the trenches. All are learning how to
conduct themselves under fire.
A heavy shell fell recently in ma
chine gun ammunition dump and ex-
ploded thirty boxes, bullets flying IN
all directions. The men near by threw
themselves on the ground and no one
was hurt.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. IA heavy and contin-
uous bombardment Is continuing along
the lower Piave river, marking the
opening stages Of the extensive
operations on this new line. Wheth-
er a general engagement Is i'm
minent depends largely upon the en-
emy, as the Italians are now en-
trenched behind the river and fighting
on defensive tactics, with the stream
and their re-established forces check
ing the further extension Of the Aus
tro- German offensive.
The engagements thus far have con-
sisted Of episodes at detached points,
altho the shelling extends almost un-
interruptedly for forty miles along the
lower Piave. The crash of some enemy
heavy guns Is now heard, showing that
the Austrians and Germans have been
able to bring up few OF these mon
ster pieces.
No longer is secret made Of the
fact that the Piave is the line OF de-
fense to which the supreme command
has been bending its energies steadily
for the past ten days. The upper end
of this line joins the Trentino front,
making virtually one unified front
sweeping in a huge arc from Lake
Garda to the mouth Of the Piave, near
Venice.
Protected by Wide Stream
The Italians are entrenched back
Of the west bank Of the Piave river.
and the Austro- German force now is
taking the place Of the advanced guard
on abe east bank. The water between
the opposing lines is/about half a mile,
widening at some points to mile.
The cannonade has become contin-
uous. The Austrians are. using five
inch guns. not yet having brought up
many of their heaviest pieces. The
enemy is turning his fire against the
high bell towers Of small villages firing
ing the western bank to prevent the
Italian artillery from using them as
observation posts The Italian artil-
lery reply is spirited from a consider
able number Of guns that they succeed
