Hope to Carry War Into Italy.
London, Oct 29.-General Macken-
sen has massed 100000 Of his German
troops near the Italian border In the
hope of striking blow that Will
pierce the Italian lines and force the

According to this information, which
has reached here, all these troops are
from the Russian front. To gather
them, Germany has had to strip all her
lines to the north.
Both political and military reasons
have apparently impelled the German
staff to its efforts against Italy.
Berlin has been impressed Of late
with the alarming loss Of morale In the
Austrian army. That loss was reflect

A notable event of the week is the
great drive made by the Germans
against the Italians. IL was led by
Won Mackensen, and succeeded in
capturing thousands of prisoners
and hundreds of guns. Strong re-

from the army that has been operat-
