ROME. Nov. ie.-The enemy has
been checked in the Odro Valley, the
War Office announces. A hostile
thrust at Brocon, in the Tesino basin,
also has been checked. From Susegana
to the sea the Italian rear guards,
disengaging themselves from the enc
MY, crossed the Pave river, blowing
up bridges.
An Italian rea; guard force which
had been surrounded at Lorenzago has
succeeded in forcing its way out.
BERLIN, via London, Nov. 10
The Austro German forces which are
invading Northern Italy have reached
the Piave river. Asiago has been cap
tured.
Asiago is on the Trentino front
twenty miles west of the Plave river
along which the Italians have been ex-
pected to fight 4 decisive battle. The
capture OF Asi&go indicates that the
Germans and Aussrians have begun
an offensive Oh the Trentino front II
an effort to outf,ank the Piave line.
The breaking Of the Italian front a
this point probably would entail re
Itirement of the Italians from he Pf
ave line.
Susegana is az the foothills CT thu
Alps. The Germans have reached tn
Piave all along its course over thu
plains of Northern Italy.

LONDON, Nov. S.-Kerensky has

revolt by the pacifist radicals of Pc
trograd, the man who steered Russia
through eight months Of trial and
turmoil, is tonight a fugitive hunted
by the men whom only yesterday he
refused to prosecute.
The viper of radicalism having fed
itself full upon the clemency of the
man with malice toward none, stuck
up it's head in the Nevsky prospect
early yesterday, complacently survey
ed the field and found the hour was
ripe. Cautiously it crept through I'M
derground channels of sedition to the
secret council chambers of the pacif-
list intriguers and to the bas1ecks of
the Petrograd garrison, kissing ev-
erywhere the watchword "ready."
Quick as lightning its Obedient tools

had completed their work.

alists, Bolsheviki, Extremists, Radi-
Gals, all their factions united under the
banner of the council, only a small mi
nority, the Minimalists standing aloof.
The Council is tonight in full posses

NINETY-DAY SENTENCE
FOR ANTI-WAR MANIFESTO
Harry Aurin Of New York Distrib-
uted Circulars Rejecting on
q. s. Government.

NEW YORK. July IA sentence Of
ninety days in the workhouse was i'm
posed in a magistrates court here yes
terday on Harry Aurin. twenty years
old, charged with disorderly conduct
for having distributed circulars con-
tanning passages from the Declaration
Of Independence and section 1 of the
thirteenth amendment, with the ques-
tion printed below: Does our govern
ment live up to these principles?'
The magistrate held 1t was no offense
to publish the Declaration Of Independ-
ence in full, but he took exception to
the fact that certain phrases had been
selected and printed separately in bold
face type, chiefly the section which
read:
But when a long train Of abuses and
usurpations. pursuing invariably the
same object, evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute despotism. 1t is
their right. 1t is their duty, to throw of
such government and to provide new
guards for their future delivery"
The magistrate said he agreed with
the deputy assistant district attorney
that the circular was published for
the sole purpose of melting those who
already disagree with the course of
the government in its relation to the
war now existing"

COUNT APPONN AGAINST
ANY CUSTOMS ALLIANCE
Hungarian Nobleman. Who Opposed
Ministry of Count Tisza, Dis
cusses German Pact.

COPENHAGEN June o0.-Count APP
ponyi. who long opposed the ministry
OF Count Tisza, formerly Hungarian
premier. has declared himself opposed
to customs alliance between Austria
Hungary and Germany in an interview
with the Budapest correspondent OF
the Berlin Vossiche Zeitung. Count
Apponyi said:
parliament which was elected in
1910 and whose mandates for war
causes have been extended. is not COM
petent to pass upon the important issue
whether we continue the customs
union with Austria or proceed to the
establishment of an independent adj
ministration. On principle ] advo-
cate the latter and am opposed to a
twenty-year compromise. This. how
ever, is a purely internal question with
Austria and Hungary. Concerning our
economic attitude to Germany my at
titude to this is if Germany is de-
OF US after the conclusion of war I am
readily in favor of negotiations
thereon.
Il could not give my consent to the
ratification of an alliance with Ger
many based exclusively on common
Austro-Hungarian customs territory
and a tWenty-year compromise. If we
conclude such an alliance at this time
we are anticipating the free decision of
a future Hungarian parliament. 1t could

II 1T would reject the understanding
with Austria. the treaty with Germany
would also be nullified with the result
that the country would be plunged into
economic confusion and insecurity,
Ihe problem of a political alliance
with Germany is different. Whatever
be the outcome of the present crisis in
Hungarian internal politics, l look for
ward to a speedy beneficial solution
Whatever elements may participate IN
achieving the realization of electoral
reform and the. adjustment of social
problems, 1t is wholly excluded that the
security and cordially of our alliance
with Germany will be affected in the
slightest degree"
The attitude of the Apponyf party.
which numerically controls more votes
than those of the Andrassy faction. is
admitted to be of decisive Importance
for the direction of future Hungarian
politics.
Count Moritz Esterhazy, the Hun
garlan premier. is industriously striv-
ponyfs followers by Offering their
leader cabinet post. Count Apponyi
as yet is undecided but has indicated an
inclination to consider an appointment
with certain political reservations.
Transylvanian Saxon deputies have
Withdrawn from the majority party and
Joined the Andrassy factionJ which is
supporting the Esterhazy regime.
1t is semi-officially announced that
the cultivated area of occupied Ru-

ported as satisfactory
