ROME, Nov. italian forces
crossed the frontier into Austrian
territory in the Sugana valley yes
terday evening, the war office an
nounced today.
Both the Cellina and Medina
rivers have been crossed. Several
thousand Italian soldiers who were
held as prisoners have been re-
leased.
Capture of Feltre, the Austrian
central base. is of great importance
as it prevents the distribution OF
reserves either to the westward OF
to the southeastward.
The Italians now command the en-
trance 10 the val-du-Gana. leading into
the Trentino. The city OF Trent is on
~ thirty miles distant.
Columns OF cavalry and light in
fantry are skirting the entire south
ern foothills of the Alps, cutting on
the possibility OF the Austrians es-
Gaping to the northward from the We
nice plains. The brilliancy of General
Diaz in his maneuvers Is further re-
vealed by the fact that the Austrlans
have been forced TO increase the length
Of their line more than forty-two and
one-half miles while at the Same time
they have suffered such heavy losses
they cannot reorganize their positions
or hold them.

APPEAL
ISSUED
Statement Made by Former
Presidents, Roosevelt and
Taft on the Merits of the
Election Next Tuesday.

NEW YORK. Nov. Pin view of
President Wilson's recent public demand
for the election Of a democratic con-
gress, Ex-Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft made public the following public
joint statement through the Republic
can National Committee:
We approach this subject as Aneri-
cans and only as Americans. When
this war broke out we would have well
coined action by the president which
would have eliminated all questions of
party politics. 1t would have enabled
US all to stand behind him to the end,
without regard TO anything except ma
ton considerations. Instead of this,
partisan lines have been strictly drawn
from the first and now tho president an
nounces that only democrats can be en-
trusted with future power and only
those democrats who do his will. Be
cause of this reflection on other pa
triotrc Americans we appeal for fair
play.
THE next congress will serve from
March 4. 1919. to March 4. 1921.
In that period,
Il. The war must be fought 20 un-
conditional surrender unless this is
achieNe1 DetoFe.
.. The terms of world peace must
be settled.
%. The democratic administration.
after expending billions Of treasure and
exercising more absolute power than
any administration in our history. must
give an account of It's stewardship.
II. The change from war conditions
to peace must be brought about with
the least disturbance and the work OF
reconstruction must be broadly begun
"A republican congress which will be
much better qualified. than one con-
trolled by democrats. to aid the country
in adopting the measures needed for
these four great tasks.
Il. Even as a minority party the re-
publicans made the winning of the war
possible by passing the original draft
bill. without this we could not have
trained and landed the two millions of
men now in France. As a minority
party the republicans forced upon a re-
luctant president and secretary OF war.

NEXT 48
HOURS MAY
SURPRISE

WASHINGTON. Nov. The next
forty-eight hours are expected to write
dramatic events on the closing pages
Of the war.
With few days it is deemed pos
sible in official quarters here. that:
Austria viii submit to armistice
terms equivalent to unconditional sur
render
The Versailles council viii finish its
armistice task and the surrender terms
will be forwarded to Germany
That the Kaiser will abdicate.
There was reason to believe that ar
mistice terms fully safeguarding Am
orioan allied supremacy had been
framed.
That Germany must accept IS believed
certain.
The outburst of popular uprising
within the dual monarchy plus the Ital-
ian offensive have long since assured
that Austria will yield fully. As for
the kaisers abdication within the next
few days there is some uncertainty.
There are prospects that the silence
maintained by the state and war depart
ment and the white house Will be brok-
en- either at Versailles or here before
Monday night.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. ?,
The next legislature in Indiana
will be safely Republican, as well

country-easily will be returned

have had much experience in d.
recting Republican campaigns.
The estimates were made after
careful study of reports available
late this week from every county
in the state. Conservatively, these
reports show, the Republican state
ticket should have plurality over
the Democrats of between 10000
and $4,000 votes; eight Republican
congressman arc practically sure Of
election.
Three Of the remaining ave districts
are seriously in question BY Dotn
rarties; and the legislature should
show a Republican majority in eaoh
