INTER-ALLIED CONTROL
ONLY WAR SOLUTION,
OFFICIALS HERE SAY

American Government heads believe
inter- allied control OF the war Is the
only possible solution for difficulties
which have too often hampered the
allies disastrously.
Such control, based on q council
with a permanent war star, as sug.
gested by Premier Lloyd George, met
with approval here today, though
there was a tendency to regard Lloyd
Georges criticism OF past mistakes
as unfortunate"
An inter-alIIed council, II was said,
is the logical outcome Of the Balkan.
Russian, and Italian fiascos. Authori-
ties openly say that lack of co-opera-
tion has proved fatal more than once
in the past, and that only by united
effort such as the central powers put
forth can the allies hope to attend
to all theaters of war ably at the
same time.
Allied leaders for the present are
suffering from an attack Of frayed
nerves, according to the official view
here. That Is regarded as the basis
for the attacks on Lloyd Georges
very frank statements and for the up
roar over the new proposals.
The Washington times., 1917-11-14

northern part OF Italy was more than
offset, however, by the achievement
OF the Austro-German army north
east of Venice. where a crossing OF
the Piave river was forced.
This Austro-German feat is at
tributed to the preponderance Of their
artillery. Numerous big guns have
now been moved to the front and are
shelling the italian positions night
and day. -...-
Fresh detachments OF allied troops
are reported to have reached north
ern Italy, together with guns and sup
plies of ammunition.
Now that nearly all of the fighting
in the italian theater OF war is taxi
ing place on level ground. 1t is be-
lieved that some British tanks will
be sent to that zone of operations
to help the Italians.
On the lower Piave the Italians re-
sisted the advance of the Teutons
with great stubbOrnness, and heavy
fghting has taken place around
Zenson, where the italian troops have
been attacking the German bridge
head in an effort to hurl the Teuton
soldiers back to the eastern bank OF
the river.

Resignation of Premier Painleve
