made TO all the country to stand to-
gether. Referring to the statement
by Secretary Tumulty that Mckinley
asked for the support of the voters
in the same manner as President
Wilson has done. Mr. Cannon says:
'1f Mckinley had that purpose in
mind he kept it pretty well concealed.
He passed through my district and
made a number of speeches, but never
mentioned my name nor the Republ-
can party. He made the same kind
of speeches in the West that he made
in the South the same year, about our
united country with no North. no
South, no East no West, but all
Americans. He paid, II anything,
higher tribute TO the South than TO
the North for its enthusiastic re-
sponse to the call of the alton for
troops"
After reciting certain of the speeches
made by Mckinley. Mr. Cannon con-
tinues:

a Republican Congress to support him
and his policies, but, on the contrary.

10000 YANKS ON
ITALIAN FRONT
Part Of 9th Division AL
ready in Action Along
Pave.

Ten thousand more American troops
will be on the firing line east OF the
Piave. where the Austrian army sp-
parently has been pierced. perhaps by
today. These soldiers are from the
Thirty-seventh Division which includes
Ohio units.
Information TO this effect was OBJ
tanned at the War Depa rtment yester-
day. II was further pointed out that
the entrance OF this force into the
fighting on the Italian front will com
plete the round of Americans fighting
everywhere in Europe-in Russia on
the Dwina; in France on the Moselle
and the Meuse. and thence northward
towards the sea. in combination with
the British and French.
The situation on all fronts looks
good" TO use the phrase Of a War
Department official qualified TO give
the administration view. This IL es-
pecially true. in view Of the inertri-
cable condition In which Austria finds
herself today. he said.
Conditions In Austria are uppermost
in the interest OF the army general
staf now. II is predicted that the
news of the rout OF Emperor Rsrrs
best army, with losses vsriously esti-
mated at from 1000 to 3o.0od. will be
followed by still greater successes for
the allies. and that Austria soon will
be face to face with the necessity for
unconditional surrender by the force
of arms rather than through diplo-
macy.
AustriH's Advisers Bad.
Austria has had some very bad
advisers. army observers point out.
She was too late with her offers
to decentralize the empire and TO
grant independence TO the people
whose Independence President Wilson
recognized. and she was again be-
hind in Offering to abide by any ar
mistice terms the President might ap-
prove.
Events on the Austrian frontier are
expected to move with such tremen-
dous and fatal strides that she will
be compelled TO fly the white flag
before peace will be possible through
diplomatic arrangement There is no
question among military men here
that the Italian. French, British and
American commanders who will fol-
low the Austrians to the point Of
surrender will demand that the alice
forces be allowed access TO the
Czecho- SlOvak capital. wherever it
may be.
Because OF the Czecho- -Slovak sit
uation. the terms of surrender for
Austria must OF necessity follow thu
lines that We're dictated in the case
of Bulgaria. where the allies demand
Cd and got Tho use Of the railway
systems for the transportation oi
troops.
The other pertinent view OF the
Austrian rout. military experts say
- that II Germany has not been
stricken totally blind and politically
, insane. she will lose no time in sc-
ceptinr without question the terms
Of the Versailles Council, however
drastic and humiliatinE, both as to
her army and navy.
