American Army to Attack If Ma
jor Disaster Threatens
Cadorna, Belief.
WOULD DIVERT ENEMY
Powerful Pressure At Certain Places
In France Would Demand Call On
German Reserves-Enemy Plans
Force Issue.

New York, Nov. 1.-The American
army in France may have to begin
its full participation in the war
sooner than was generally anticipated
if there proves to be no other way
of creating sufficient diversion to
prevent the Germans from over-run-
ming the Northern italian plains.
Siackening Of Drive Indicated.
Indications now point to slowing
down Of the Teutonic advance in
Italy; but if later developments
threaten to cause major disaster to
the Allied cause along the Taglia-
nlento river, the United States prob
ably will not be content with trying
to save Italy for the Allies by money
contributions alone. Germany has
consistently gone to the relief of her
own allies with military. help when
ever they were threatened with de-
feat, but the Allied powers have been
unable, for various reasons, to do this.
Drive In West Possible. 2
Tho United States, however, may be
' destined to fight it's first battle in
Europe primarily to assist falter.
ing Ally, rather than in strict accord
with pre-arranged strategic objec-
tives. To do this it would be neither
necessary or advisable for the Ameri-
can troops to join with the Italians
in driving the Teutons back across
the 1scnz0.
Washington To Decide.
American pressure at certain places
along the French front, if sufficiently
powerful, would demand an imme'
date cessation of German efforts in
Italy and a quick call upon all avail
able German reserves.
It sometimes becomes necessary in
war time to strike quickly before
plans are fully matured. The enemy
frequently forces an ISSUE It is sci.
dom, in fact, that a commander can
fight under all conditions as chosen
by himself. The British offensives in
Flanders have not prevented the Ger
mans moving forward in Italy,, nor
have the French offensives along the
Aisne. The success or failure oil
German designs in Italy perhaps will
rest on decisions that may shortly
have to be taken in Washington.

Nov. 1. - The Americans in the
trenches and gun pits of France have
seen the sun for the first time since
taking their places in the line. The
weather was clear and cold aud a frost
covered the hills during the night.
The favorable conditions gave the
gunners a better opportunity to do
shooting, the observers being able to
spot the targets and shots. ..-
The condition of the first wounded
Americans arriving at the base hos
pital is excellent. The infantry and
artillerists took advantage of the sun
shine to dry their soaking clothing
Notwithstanding he bad weather
conditions of the last few days there
is no report of a single case Of sick
ness resulting from this cause. s rihe
perfect physical condition of the men
