Austro-German Offensive Continues From Carnic Alps To the Adriatic. Canadians TakenPasschandaele.
CBy Review Leased wire.)

In a great arc more than 16O miles in length. the Italian armies are fall ing back upon and through the plains of Venstia to a new and shorter line of defense.
 From the Fella valley to the head of the Adriatic sea the entire line Of the Tagliamento river has been given up by General Cadorna. while from virtually the border of Trentino north eastward and eastward through the Dolomites and the Carnic Alps to the Fella the northern army is carrying out a retrograde movement south ward through the mountainous coun- try toward the plains.
 The Germans and Austro-Hungari- ans everywhere are following up the Italians in their retreat. but with the Italians offering resistance in rear guard actions along the entire front.
 British Push Forward
 Meanwhile the British forces in Bel gium have won another notable vic tory over the Germans in the region of Ypres. having captured in one of their intrepid dashes. after a rain of shells of all calibers. the town of Passchendaele. for which much bitter fighting has taken place recently. The new advance of the British throws the apex of their salient in dangerous proximity to Rouliers, the fall of which would cut Germany's communi- cation from her submarine bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge with the south. The Canadians. who bore ths brvmt of the operation, extended their line 500 yards beyond Passchendaele Numer- Ous German prisoners were taken.
 Pressure Great
 The decision of the Italians to evac- uate the TagliamentO line was taken after the enemy had intensified his pressure along the upper reaches of the river in the highlands and pushed forces across the stream in the cen ter and to the south. This movement compelled a simultaneous withdrawal along the northern front from the Fella valley to Colbricon.
 Apparently. the main Austro-G German forces are not in close contact with the retreating Tagliamento army. for the German official report says the re- treat is indicated by conhagratiOns over the entire route of retirement. The morale of the Italians is declared to be splendid.
 Shortens Battle Front
 The probability now seems to be that General Cordona in falling back has the double purpose of shortening his battle front from approximately 16O miles to slightly more than 60 the Piave boundary and giving British and French rein forcements the opportunity to arrive in sufficient numbers to check the in vaders. Operations on other fronts are of minor character.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-Cable re, ports reaching here from Switzerland say Germany has reached the crisis so far as her man power is concerned. For three years. according to these dispatches, Germany has lost on an average fo 100000 men annually and this number will at least be equaled in 1918. It is cOntended that to con tinue the war on the same scale for another year the Germans must have at their command a reserve of at least 100000 men. whereas they actually will have a reserve of only one and half million. including youths of the class of 1910.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-John F. Hy. Ian, a county judge of Kings county, was elected mayor of New York city today by plurality of more than 100000. He carried with him the en- tire democratic city ticket, including Charles L. Craig for comptroller. Al fred K. Smith for president of the board of aldermen, and Edward Swann for district attorney.
 Indications are that the democrats will have a majority in the board oi estimates which controls the expendi. ture of the city funds.
 Mitchell Poor Second.
 Mayor John P. Mitchell, who sought reelection as a fusion candidate. all though not formally nominated by any party, was a poor second in the race. His vote in LAO districts out of 2.O6S in the city was 104.729. compared with 205,26S for Hylan.
 Morris Hillquit, the socialist candi. date about whom rallied most of the radical elements in the city and all those who favored an immediate peace, stood third and William M Bennett, who unexpectedly won the republican primary nomination from Mayor Mitch. el. was fourth.
 Result Certain.
 From the time the returns were re- ceived from the first 100 districts the result never was in doubt It was evident Hylan had scored an over

 Interest in the municipal cleo tions centered upon New York where John F. Hylan, democrat, defeated Mayor John P. Mitchell, candidate for reelection by a piu- rality of more than 140,000.

(By Review Leased wire)

J JUAREZ. Mex, Nov. 6.-With blood stained floors, shattered windows ana coaches crowded with frightened Mex ican men, women and children who were shivering, half naked in the bullet | broken seats; the Mexican Central passenger train which was attacked by Villa followers at Arma ,deriZ station Sunday arrived here tonight. One hundred and twenty-five soldiers ana passengers were killed on the train. The peon passengers were still so badly frightened they could only tell | disconnected stories of what occurred Sunday morning on the desert fifty miles south of Chihuahua City. The l locomotive and two cars of the train were completely wrecked by the dyna- mite which had been placed on the track. The sixty guards from the fed eral garrison at Torreon were either killed. during the attack, or executed soon after. Everyone on the train was robbed and made to disrobe, even the .elothing of the women and children having been taken by the Villa follow CTS fot their camp followers.
 Messinger Missing.
 The messenger for large American mining company in Mexico is missing and the S1OO,O00 worth of silver bullion which he was bringing to the border is also missing. The express messen- ger was killed as was the train con- | ductor and other railroad employees, { the engine crew losing their lives when the engine was blown up. Villas men first fired volley after volley into the train, breaking the win dows and killing many of the guards and passengers. They then went drought the coaches robbing the pas sengers, killing many of the men and ordering others outside the train for ex- ecution.
 Prisoners Robbed.
 The remaining prisoners were rob- bed of everything they possessed, even to the last centavo of the poor peons. They were then ordered to disrobe and, when two women refused, they were shot and seriously wounded All were left on the desert over night without clothing
 There were no Americans on the train. A German boy who was com ing to the border was robbed of every thing he owned and reached here barefooted, wearing a ragged pair of overalls and high Mexican hat. One Mexican family from MicEoacan, in- cluding husband. wife and two small children, had to beg clothing in Chi huahua City
 The passengers agreed that Julio Acosta and Martin Lopez commanded the Villa followers but the maJor in command of the train escort, who was wounded and left for dead, heard the commander say Villa was nearby. 1 There were 450 in the Villa command and they left for the mountains after robbing the train.

BRITISH FRONT IN BELGIUM, Nov. 6.-(By The Associated Press.)- The village of Passchendaele was at tackled by the Brush early today.

 Is Vital Point.
 Field Marshal von Hindenburg re- gently issued an order that Passchen- daele must be held at all hazards ahd that if it were lost it must be retaken irrespective of cost. so today's battle bids fair to be most sanguinary.
 The Canadians started from line only 400 yards from the heart of ruin- ed Passchendaele. The German artil- lery concenerated east of Passchen- daele shelled the Canadian field artil iery heavily as the attack began, but it's fire had diminished greatly by 7:30 o'clock through coun.er battery work. Many aeroplanes were over the German front and notwithstanding the poor visibility the observers reported a large concentration of German in fantry in shell hole defenses between Passchendaele and Moorslede.
 The Germans also had pulled out their old troops and put Tn fresh divis- ions-all along the line.

AMERICA AND JAPAN AGREE
 UPON POLICY
 IN ALL CHINA
United States and Nippon Sign Agreement Guaranteeing Territorial Integrity and Open Door" in Orient.
(By Review Leased Wire }

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Formal announcement today of the agreement between the United States and Japan in regard 10 China was greeted in diplomatic and official circles as one of the momentous events of the war ,period. Its effect is expected to be i far reaching both upon future devel- lcpments in the far east and upon the prosecution of the war against Ger ] many
 l In addition to the notes exchanged between Secretary Lansing and Wis ccuH Ishii, the special oapanese am- bassador. recording an agreement rec ognizing Japan's special interest in China, guaranteeing the independence and territorial integrity of China and ireaffirming the open-door policy. it is announced that satisfactory under standing has been reached as to mili- tary, naval and economic co-opera- ton.
 Hands Of"
 Informally, it is explained that this agreement is in no sense an applica- ton of the Monroe doctrine to the orient, but instead is rather an ap- plication of the pan-American doc Urine of hands off" It does not alter the Takahira 'open door" agree ment in any way, though it supple ments it.
 In differentiating between the Mon roe doctrine and the pan-American- ism, officials said the former was dis tindtly a national policy. while the latter was altruistic and interna- tional
 No intimation was given as 10 what would be considered the special in terests" of Japan, but the comparison was drawn with the position of the United States as regards Mexico.
 The text of the notes has been com municated to China through the Chi nese embassy, but it was stated that no statement would be made here regarding China's position until some word has been received from Picking.
 Complete Accord
 The complete accord reached be- tween the United States and Japan. it was authoritatively stated, does not mean that an offensive and defensive alliance has been created between the two countries, such as exists be- tween Japan and Great Britain. all though both nations>-do pledge them selves to a definite line of action.
 Emphasis was laid in official dis cussions on the last paragraph of the. agreement. This is the declaration that both countries are opposed toI the acquisition by any government of any special rights or privileges that would affect the independence or ter ritorial integrity of China. or that would deny to the subjects or citizens of any country the full enjoyment of equal opportunity in the commerce or industry of China.
 This, it was explained, was precise ly the same as the altruistic pan Americanism. and both Japan and the United States by this declaration bound themselves to see that. China obtained a square deal not only at the hands of other nations. but from themselves as well.

ders dominate in all lines. General
trade good, especially in surplus crop
regions, near cantonments, and gener-
ally at the south. Labor shortage
acute in many places, but mild wealth
er relieves effect of sparse coal sup
plies. Price uncertainty still an ele-
ment holding back civilian buying.
Textiles, metals and lumber lead in
demand. Building smallest for three

crops asks for cattle to be fattened.
Failures few, clearings smaller. Too
dry for wheat in Kansas, Nebraska
