Italians Retreat
to Shorter Line

In n great arc more than 100 miles
in length the italian armies are fall
ing back upon and through the plains
of Vcnctia to a new and shorter line
of defense.
From the Fclla valley TO the head of
the Adriatic sea the entire line OF the
Tangiiamcnto river has been given up
by General Cadorna. while from vir-
tnally the border of Trentino north
eastward and eastward through the Do
lonltes and the Carnie Alps to the
Fclla the northern army is carrying
ont n retrOcradc movement south
ward through, the mountainous coun-
try toward THE plains. The Germans
and Austro- -Hungarians everywhere
are following up the Italians in their
retreat. but with the Italians Offering
resistance In rear guard actions along
the entire front.
The decision of tho Italians to cvac-
uatc the Tangliamento line was taken
after the enemy had intensified his
pressure along the upper reaches of the
river in the highlands and pushed for
ward across the stream In tho center
and to the south. This movement
compelled a simultaneous withdra wal
valley to Colbricon.
Apparently the main Anstro- German
forces are not in close contact with the
rctreating Tangliamcnto army. for the
German official says the retreat Is in
dicated by conflagrations over the
route of retirement. No claim is de
by the Germans of Italians having
been made prisoners.
On the plains the Italian cavalry Is
IN retarding the enemy during the first
eight days OF the retreat from the
lsonzo. when it held Teutonic advance
guards and permitted General Cadorna
to bring his forces to the west bank
of the stream virtually intact. except
| for his losses in men and guns during
the first mad rush. The morale of the
Italians at present is declared to be
splendid.
The probability now seems TO be that
| General Cadorna In falling back has
the double purpose of shortening his
hattie front from approximately 100
| miles to slightly more than 60 miles
| along the Piava river east OF Venice
and nOrthwesterly to the Trcntino
bonndary-and giving British and
French reinforcements the oppnvtunits
TO arrive in sufficient numbers to CHECK
tho invaders.
On the other battle fronts the oper
atiOns have been of n minor character
with artillery dueis predominating.

Canadians Take
Passchendaelc

British Front in belgium, Nov. g.
The Canadians in today's drive against
the German lines have advanced about
500 yards beyond the center OF Pass
chendaeie, having hattled their way to
their final marks. a considerable num-
ber OF prisoners already have reached
the cages.
The main defcnses of Passchcndacle
consisted OF n great number of machine
guns and Il heavy barragc was thrown
against the Canadians as they advanced
along the crest OF the ridge. Three
concrete redouhts on the southern
side OF the village poured a vicious
fire into their ranss but there was no
pause in their steady advance.
Meetchelee spur just northwest OF
Pesschendaele was also entirely be-
hind the Canadian lines. Contrary to
Expectations. the overseas men got
through to their ohjectives with COM
paratively light opposition from the
defending infantry. although the en-
emy machine guns were very active
and tho artillery poured heavy fire
against the advancing troops. The
Germans fled or surrendered at many
points when they came face to face
| with the grimly determined Canadian
ritlemen.
