Certain Points in Pre-
mier's Speech

London, Nov. 1.-THE speech made YES
terday by Premier Lloyd-George in Paris
has made a stir in the local press, where
his references TO the Allies incredible
blunders' and other matters are printed
under sensational headlines. Comment
ON the speech is mingled with criticism
OF the new Allied War Council as an
nounced here yesterday by Chancellor
BOnar Law Some of the newspa Ders
criticize adversely the new military plan
and accuse the premier of wishing to
take over the strategic direction OF the
Allied campaign. Rumors in the Sunday
newspapers Of the impending retirement
Of Field Marshal Haig and General Rob-
ertsOn. chief Of the general staff, cause
some commentators to insinuate that the
reports were sent afioat Intentionally by
semi official hints.
The Morning Post connects the new
plan with the rumors and says that both
the nation and the army are alarmed
over il.
The Times says that the premier let
himself go and thereby opened the food
gates to a torrent of expert criticism II
continues:
The subject of the speech is that the
premier is ANXIOUS for closer unity In
the control OF the Allied armies 1t is an

London. oct. 9.-(Corrcspondence Of

H. some cases rifles are on board but
they are kept securely locked in their

FRANCE CONFIDENT
That Teutonic Dr~i V e
Has Been Stopped, Ac-
cording to War Of
flee Statement

Washington, Nov. lS-Frances con-
tdence that the Teutonic drive into
Italy has been stopped is expressed
in a war office statement cabled to-
day to the French embassy here.
THE Germans have greatly exagger-
ated the Importance of the Italian de-
feat says the statement In reality
the Italian armies are far from being
defeated.
The Second Army only has seriously
suffered On the 24th of October a
violent offensive of the Germans be-
positions of the kolovist and gained
the high valleys of Judrio and Natl
zone. On the 18th and .6th. after
the loss Of Natajur and Mont Magior
the Second Army fell back first on the
Tagliamento then on the Piave. This
falling back was executed under the
protection of rear guards which COM
ported themselves admirably and the
retreat took place in good order
The line Of the Piavc is actually
solidly held. The Italian general staff
is awaiting the enemy forces.
These operations having shortened
the front, allow of better means of re-
sistance.
THE English and French armies are
in reserve behind
The morale of the army has been
strengthened and is becoming excel
lent.
The country at first strongly shak-
en-. is becoming more settled as the
political parties are getting more unit
ed"
Military men here believe. too. that
the .Austro-German thrust in Italy
has reached its crest. and evidence
command will attempt to put its adj
vantage are now watched with great
interest.
In his weekly war review issued to-
day, Secretary Baker indicated his
opinion that the drive was primarily
political movement This opinion IS
shared by numerous American officers
and in some quarters it is believed a
fourth peace offer is to be expected at
any moment from German sources It
is suggested that it may come in some
indirect fashion. to be disclaimed in
Berlin if it brings no results.
Observers here fail to see that the
Teutonic offensive will have secured
any important military detectives if
it is stopped where it is. A great sweep
of Italian territory has been occupied,
but il contains little or nothing to ease
the food shortage in Austria and the
effect upon the spirits of the Aus
trian people is expected to prove short
lived unless some more substantial
evidences Of victory are forthcoming
The strain upon the Austrian lines
has been increased as a result of the
drive. The new line must be held at
all costs in the face OF an Italian force
that probably will be brought to to-
plies and equipment for such an army
becomes available
supply lines for the invader run back
into Austria through rugged mountain
passes which it will be difficult to
keep fully open during the winter
tillery and supplies necessary to the
maintenance of the army has been
moved down to face the Italians. II
would be impossible, it is said, for
haStN withdrawal to he made. For
that reason, it is argued the German
and Austrian staffs will be obliged to
maintain at any cost it's invading
force strong enough to withstand any
luOba bic attacks.
