Along the Paive.
Dispatches From the Front
Indicate That the Situa.
tion Is Improving Every
Hour Germans Claim
to Have Reached Asiago.
BY WEBB MILLER.

London, Nov. 10.--The forces were
arrayed tonight for Italys decisive bat
tie of the war. The Austro- German
invading army was reported by both
Berlin and Rome to have reached the
line of river Piave. Behind the river,
facing the Germans over a front OF
nearly 40 miles, the Italians, with
French and British reinforcements,
were confidently awaiting the issue.
SITUATION IMPROVING.
Front dispatches tonight declared the
situation was improving with each hour
Tor the Italians. The retreat behind
the Piave was methodicslly carried
/ out. Italian cavalry, cyclist corps and
the famous Bersaglieri continued their
heroic sacrifice of their own lives that
they might screen the movements of
the big forces of their own troops be-
yond. Relentless execution of q few
deserters restored the Italian forces to
high stand Of discipline and morale
AS Londcn saw it tonight the only
grave menace to the Italians position
was the German official claim of hav-
ing sreached Asiago. This city Is in
the Trentino and is So miles behind
the Piave, in the mountains far to the
! north of the Piave river line on the
plains.
REPULSE REPORTED.
Claim Of its occupation indicates the
Teutonic command Is once again trying
its favorite strategy of a flanking
! movement. The Italian official state
ment indicated a contact with the en-
emy over virtually the same line of
the Piave river as Berlin reported. Re-
pulse of enemy attacks on advanced
positions in the Ledio valley were re-
ported. All Italian rear guards are de-
clared to have safely crossed the river,
blowing up the bridges.
Tonight's Berlin official statement
declared merely that "our pursuit in
the mountains continues"

RULES WITH IRON HAND.
The puCifists have won both Moscow
and Potrogrnd Ambassador Francis re
ported to the state department today.
More troops and probably the Bal
tic sea fleet have gone over to, the
Bolsheviki cabinet set up by the Maxi
malists with Lenine and Trotsky at
its head.
The expected opposition from Ker-
ensky alone of the old cabinet to be
at liberty, apparently has SO far failed
to materialize in the Russian Z. news.
The Bolsheviki ruled with an iron
hand in both the leading cities and
without further bloodshed, meantime

list support

partment was at loss 10 move Dip

There is no one vet with whom we
can treat" said one official. There is
no disposition to withhold support from
Russia. just because there has been n
revolution. 1t has been plain from the
beginning that such things must be
expected.
MAY STILL GIVE SUPPORT.
"The United States government feels
that it must continue to have faith
in Russia even to an extent which
might appear foolhardy from a finan-
cial standpoint. As soon as there is
a government established undoubted-
ly the United States will seek to learn
just where the government stands with
regard to all questions affecting Amer

So far the Maximalists have been
playing lone hand too busy with in

They have permitted Ambassador
Francis and other allied diplomats to

held and only confirmation of earlier
press reports were given out.
WANT MORE INFORMATION.
State department officials tonight
said they were hopeful that next week
would bring detailed information of
conditions through Russia upon which
this government can base it's future at
titude.
The diplomatic sensation locally was
the embassy def hurled at the Maxi
malists.
Russia can be headed only by ma

structive elements of Russian democ-
racy," stated Ambassador Kakhmetieff.
The belief was strongly that he would
not have issued such statement un-
less he had received encouragement
at the state department. But it was

tablished their government finally, the
ambassador and practically his entire
staff would be relieved Of office.

Washington. Nov. 10.--The National

late today.
Z Forty-one suffragottes, including
Mrs. Harvey Wiley, wife of the pure
food expert. and Mrs. William Kent,
wife of the x-copgressman from Cal
ifornia, were arrested.
The pickots marched from their near

fast as one line was bundled off to the
police station in motor patrol wagons,
another file, bearing banners, silently
came up. Thousands of persons
thronged Pennsylvania avenue, but
there was no disorder.

PRESIDENT NOT AT HOME.
President Wilson was motoring when
the demonstration began. He returned

personal callers and the suffragettes
had to content themselves with trying
to see their sister party members
through barred windows from a dis

further statement regarding Miss
Paul's condition and Jail officials pooh
poohed the whole thing.
The demonstration was studded with
a number of human interest touches.
Mrs. Kent's 1S-year-old son clung to
her arm as she tramped away in the
parade. The last picket of the group

so that Russia's weight might be felt
