Great Britain and
France Must Go to
Aid of Italians
Bv Associated Press

London, Oct. 29.-That Great Bri-
tain and France must go promptly
to Italy's help is the view expressed
by several morning newspapers. The
Times which prints statement i'm
plying knowledge that such help is
contemplated, says editorially:
"Our word to the people of Italy
is to stand firm for help will surely
come Italy must not and
will not be deprived of the fruits of
the ultimate victory for which she
has battled so long and so ardu-
ously.S In the truest sense
the Isonzo is our front as much as
the Somme and now that it has col
lapsed we must do our utmost with
out delay to repair it. There is no
need for alarm but there is the ut
most need for promptitude and
broadness of vision"
While all the newspapers recognize
the gravity of ltalys perils, STRONG
confidence is expressed in General
Cadorna and the Italian army with
the conviction that they ultimately
will emerge victorious. Italian per-
severance and success of the past are
recalled with warm admiration and
the weakness of some links in the de-
fensive chain is condoned.

ed when it became apparent that the
Federal Reserve banks would be un-
able to make more than approximate
returns before that time.
There was nothing to-day at the
treasury on which to base an esti-
mate of the grand total of subscrib-
tions. 1t was assumed. in the lack
of reports that the banks were busy
tabulating the totals. which rolled
in by the millions Saturday. the final
day of the campaign. Officials reas.
serted their belief that the loan had
passed $4,000, 100000.
Next Thursday is the last day upon
which banks may make returns. All
subscription agencies, including the
26. 900 banks in the country, are re-
quired by the Treasury to have sub
scription lists and two per cent. of
subscriptions required with bond ap-
plications in the hands of the reserve
banks not later than that date.

Elizabethville, whose case was re-
opened this morning, was again de-
MED. DR.. Barto after passing his
physical examination, filed a claim
with the district board stating that
there were only two doctors in his
town and that his services were in
dispensible. His claim was support
ed by the affldavits of large number
of the town officials and residents.
The board refused to grant the claim
when first acted on. After several
requests the case was reopened. This
morning the claim was supported by
additional affidavts, but the board
in it's wisdom decided against the
4 physician. He will in all probability
be assigned to the Medical Corps at
Camp Meade.
