British Front in Belgium. Nov. 10
The British attack today was begun at
sos a. m. in the rain. which had been
falling nearly all night. The ground
along the crest Of the ridge was in com.
paratively good condition for the ad-
vance. but to the westward. in the
valley Of the Paddebeek, 1t was exceed.
ingly marshy.
Despite the vile going on the lower
ground. the troops here appear to have
kept up the progress Of the more for
tunate men on the higher ground. AS
early as 1880 o'clock, they were bat
Ting at a fortified farm. 500 yards be-
yond their starting point and shortly
afterwards were reported some distance
beyond this place.
The German artillery put down
heavy barrage all along the front in
volved as the attack began. The Brit
ish also encountered a heavy machine
gun fire from numerous strong points.
If the British remain in the positions
they reached this morning 1t will mean
that the salient about Passchendaele
and Goeberg has been greatly widened
and therefore made more satisfactory.

Washington. Nov. 10.-The possibl-
ity that the first increment Of the Ma
tional army will not be sent to France
for at least six months. loomed large
today when it became known that the
allies demand for food, coal and iron
are so strong as to forecast use Of aveil-
able ocean tonnage for their transpor-
tation instead Of for troops.
A decision on the question will rest
largely on reports expected soon from
the American mission now abroad. and
on figures being assembled by Herbert
Hoover. food administrator to show the
amount of grain and other food pro-
ducts available for export in the Unit
ed States and South American eoun-
tries.
Present indications are, the food ad-
ministration believes, that the food SIT
uation. particularly in England. France
and Italy. will force the United States
to use its ships to send food insteai Of
soldiers.
Plans for the second draft would be
affected by the postponement of the re-
moval of the first increment from
camps.

"The task of selecting and mobiliZing
the first contingent of the national ar
my is nearing completion. The expedi-
tion and accuracy of its accomplish
ment We're a most gratifying demonstra
ton of the efficiency of our democratic
institutions. The swiftness with which
the machinery for its execution had to
be assembled however, left room for
adjustment and improvement. New reg
ulations putting these Improvements in
to effect are, therefore, being published
today There is no change in the es-
sential obliga ton of men subject to Sc
lection, The first draft must stand un-
affected by the provisions of the new
regulations. They can be given no retro
active effect.
Each Man to His Place.
The time has come for "A more per-
feet organization of our man-power.
The selective principle must be carried
to its logical conclusion. We must make
a complete inventory of the qualifca-
tions of all registrants in order to de-
termine. as to each man not already
selected for duty with the colors. the
place in the military. industrial or ag-
ricultural ranks of the nation in which
his experience and training can best be
made to serve the common good. This
project involves an inquiry by the Sc
lection board into the domestic. indus
trial and educational qualifications Of
nearly ten million men.
Much Work to BE Done.
Members of these boards have rem
dered a conspicuous service. The worl:
was done without regard to personal
convenience and under a pressure OF
immediate necessity. which impose
great sacrifices. Yet the services of
men trained by the experience of tie
first draft must of necessity be retain
ed and the selection boards must pro-
vide the directing mechanism for the
new classification. The thing they
have done is of scarcely one-tenth the
magnitude of the things that are to be
done. 1t is of great Importance both
to our military and to our economic
interests that the classification be car
ried swiftly and accurately to con-
clusion.

for the work leads to the conclusion

PREPARED TO GIVE SUPPORT TO
LATINS IN EFFORTS TO HOLD
ENEMY ADVANCE.
BATTLE is IMPENDING
Opposing Armies Are Now Lined Up
Along Thirty-Mile Reach Of Piave
River, and Are in Fighting Touch
With Each Other.
By Associated Press

Italian Headquarters Nov 10.-Brit
ish batteries have taken their positions
along the front line. prepared to give
support to the heroic services hereto
fore chiefly borne by the Italian rear
guard in the effort to stay the Austro-
German advance.
The reformation OF the Italian army
along the established position is prog
ressing in good order and there has
been no material change in the situation
in the past day or two.
The agreement for a central military
council for "the entire western front"
for the first time recognizes and incor-
porates the Italian as part Of the west
ern front, thus terminating the Italian
front as a separate one. 1t also estab-
fishes reciprocal control, in which not
only the French and British have a voice
in the Italian campaign. but Italy has
a voice in the French and British cam
paign.
With the opposing armies lined up
along a thirty-mile reach of the Piave
river in its lower course, and in fighting
touch with each other on q wide front,
stretching westward through the hills
TO the north of the Venetian plain, a
real test of strength seems in prospect
for the first time since the Italian ar.
mics in northeastern Italy began their
retreat from the IsonZo.
Hitherto the main force of the Aus
tro-German thrust into Italy in this
campaign has been from the northeast.
With their left standing along the east
bank of the lower Piave, however, the
Teutonic armies apparently have now
begun to exert their chief pressure with
their right wing from the north along
the line bending sharply west from
Asiago, thirty miles from the Adriatic
on the Piave.
Austro-Hungarian forces, Berlin an
nounced on Saturday, are pressing for
ward in the Sugana valley as well as
in the upper Piave. the Trentino region
virtually beginning at the Sugana
Serious Threat to Italians.
Thus, there is being developed in this
district the predicted thanking attack on
the Italian left, which has been recog-
nized as probably the most serious
threat to the Italian line which the Teu-
tonic command could bring to bear.
Upon successful resistance to this drive
from the north depends the stability Of
the whole Italian front to the east as
well as continued possession of Venice
and what remains of the northeastern
neck of Italy.
Just what line the Italian command
had chosen for resistance to the flank
ing operation is not apparent, but If II
runs north Of Asiago. twenty miles west
cof Susegana, it is apparent that the in
vading armies already have gained
decided advantage. for Berlin reports the
