LONDON. November Am Italian
semi-official statement received here To-
day takes issue with the Austrian COM
munioue of yesterday afternoon in which
If was announced that the Austrian
troops had ceased hostilities following
tho. conclusion Of an armistice. The

trick. and it is declared that hostilines
will continue to be pressed until pm.

fo- their suspension. Tho semi-ofdcial
statement reads:
.aThe Austrian war communique oa1eo
November at pm. announcing that
according to an ar1nistice that had
been concluded, the ro-Hungarians
had suspended hostilities IN the Italian
theater of war is false. =
"At o'clock in the evening Of Novem-
her the armistice had not yet been
signed by the .plenfpotentiaries OF the
Italian and Austro-Hungarian govern
ments. and at any rate the provisions
NJ the armistice itself do not call for
the suspension of hostilfties until
o'clock on the afternoon Of November
a. Meanwhile, the Italian army is con-
tinuing its operations.
..The subtle intent Of the Austrian
announcement is evident. The enemy
is attempting to undervalue the opera
tions Of. the italian troops in action.
On the other hand he is attempting

Americans Near Vital Point.
On Sunday evening at 5 o'clock
American contingents were in Belval
wood, six miles directly west of
Stenay, a vital point in the German
line along the Meuse. 1t now appears
that the Germans who have been hold
ing the line cunning westward
through the Champagne country can
not retreat eastward, but must be
diverted northward throuehy Belgium.
This will add many weary miles to the
length of the journey that seemingly
must be begun at once.
In Belgium the fall of Client is i'm
minent, for the Belgians, French,
British and Americans are rapidly
moving ahead. The Scheldt has been
crossed at Welden, southwest of
Ghent, while the Belgians are moving
toward the Scheldt northeast of the
city. This advance, if continued.
threatens the whole German army in
France, since its retreat eastward
through Sedan and Montmedy seems
about to be cut off.
East of the Meuse the roads are

tude of the retrograde movement has
not as yet been exactly determined.
Italian and allied forces have occu-
pied Trent. and have landed at Trieste.
Udine, which was Italian headquarters
during the IsonZo campaign two years
ago. and from which Gen. Cadorna was
driven late in October. 1917. has been
recaptured from the Austriaus. On
every front the Austrian resistance
seemed to collapse during the two
days prior to the signing of the armis-
tice terms dictated by the interaliied
conference at Versailles.
Belgrade Recaptured.
Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, has
been recaptured from the Austrians.
The city was taken on December 2.
1914. Forty-five days after the allies
launched their offensive along the
Macedonian front the Austrian and
German troops were retreating across
the Danube out of Serbia, leaving be-
hind them the wreck of German
dreams of domination in the east.

Commissioner Brownlow requested
the public health service to continue

that tho local health department had
not been able to obtain sufficient in

safeguard the city's sanitary interests
and that the demand for larger in

tionately with the increase in the cap
