halp may be expected from Russia in
the world war.
Brings AmbasSadOr's Statement.
Recent advices from Petrograd were
to the effect that the leaders of the
Bolsheviki were bitter because OF the
alleged activities OF Ambassador
Francis against their cause. The docu-
ments brought by Williams, 1t is be-
Iieved, tell just what Francis has
done.
An indication of the Importance OF
the dispatches was furnished by the
fact that Williams carried them in a
mail pouch chained to his wrist, and
that he slept with the mail pouch un-
der his pillow throughout the night.
Mr.. Williams started for Rouman-
ia in July. Twenty days were consum-
ed in making the trip and the train
was frequently attacked by armed
bands representing various factions.
Williams stated that Russia's Internal

worse since.

since the report was circulated sew
eral weeks ago that he was leading

in., the alleged escape of eX-CZar
Nicholas. Williams declared he be-
lieved the report unfounded. as the
former ruler is being guarded with
the utmost care.
At Moscow, Williams said they
found armed bands OF marauders
roaming the streets. Hardly a pane
of glass remains unbroken in the en-
tire city. The once magnificent Hotel
MetropOle was wantOnly riddled with
bullets, but no one was in the hotel
at the time.

AUSTRIANS GATHERING
INCESSANTLY ON ITALIAN
LINE WEST OF BRENTA

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
ITALY, Dec. 26.-The Teutons are
making their last supreme effort to
reach the Venetian plains before win
ter irrevocably checks all operations.
Since Saturday General Conrads
Austrians have been batterinS un-
ceasingly against the Italians. The
assault west of the Brenta will be
followed quickly by new assaults by
Generals Kraus and Below east OF
the same river-particularly around
Monte Grappa. where the Austro'
Germans are now freshly concentrate
ing.
The battle as thus developed will
decide whether the Italians will be
able to maintain their present posi-
tions until spring. Snow and ice are
already checking offensive possibili-
ties through all the mountain region
The winter, nevertheless, continues
unseasonably open. As yet there Is
no sign OF heavy snow having fallen
in the mountains. Yet the passes are
being covered with a mantle suffici-
ent within n week or ten days more
to check the enemy's operations.
snow Hampers Supplies.
Already the snowfall has curtailed
the bringing up of food to such an
extent that the enemy has been
forced to substitute for masscd at
tacks the drive OF special troops car
ryinE emergency TatiOns. These
forces fight until relieved by others
like themselves, carrying equipment
for four days service.
The fiGhting today Is the culmI-
mating decisive stroke of the past
two months operations. The credit
to date is with the Italians in the
struggle.
Enemy prisoners unanimously de-
clare the vigorous Italian resistance
has already forced the Teut mic
STATS to abandon their original plan
to establish military and political
front from Trent TO Venice. They
are cOntenting themselves now with
the mere hope OF reaching Venetian
plains before a defeat-and by defeat
they mean the necessity OF a winter
campaign In the ice and snow covered
submits Of the Alps.
The allies are determined not to per.
nit the Austro-Germans even to reach
the dominating SUBMITS Of Asiago
and Grappa. The Austro-German de
cision to accept their present front for
the whole winter has been further in
dicated by their feverish fortlficstion
OF the Piavc into n permanent front
while all offensive efforts are concen-
tTated against Grappa, to improve
permanent positions there.
