made TO holster up the tagging spirits OF

fought the better would be the prospect
for more favorable peace terms.

local engagements. South OF Valen-

The Germans put down an artillery
barrage northwest OF Famars and gray
coat troops were seen moving up for an
attack. The British Runners, however
got on them and so badly smashed them
that the attack did not materialize.
Further north hard engagement was
fought on the Scheldt River. Here the
British attempted TO make a crossing
under artillery upport. and a battle de-
veloped at two destroyed bridges. The
attacking forces essayed n crossing
twice. but the advantage was always
with the enemy. who had the river for
protection. and the project was finally
abandoned.

pected to offer. This feeling is based
on the widely expressed attitude OF the
German press that the army still Is
unbeaten and also talk concerning the
negotiations of peace upon equal terms
with the Allies.
The people still believe there is plenty
Of kick left in the German army and
will not credit the Kaiser and the mill
tary party with quitting until Germany
actually is disarmed. But II Is also
right to record the fact that very
large body of public opinion would
openly regret a German surrender at
the present time In spite of the fact that
all classes are praying for an end OIL
the war, but with the proviso that the
end must be right.
For instance, Sir Valentine Chirol
writes to the Times pointing out that
the shattering OF Germany's belief In
the supreme quality of her military sys-
tenn has not yet been accomplished.
There has been no public recognition OF
defeat yet In Germany. which 10 being
told that the difficult position on the
western front Is due to the detection of
Bulgaria and Turkey. anything but the
actual defeats in the field. Sir Valentine
quotes the new German Minister OF War
as saying: II can after mature consideSa-
ton find nothing in those proposals tfor
constitutional changesl that would en-
danger the firm structure of our army
or the personal relationship OF the King
OF Prussia and his officers"
Sir Valentine concludes: Unless the
military chiefs themselves are compelled
to admit the irretrievable bankruptcy OF
the German military machine In the only
form II will pass even their wit to ex-
plain away, no peace terms will kill the
spirit Of Prussian militarism."

The capture of Conegliano by the
Italians was important since that town
is the centre Of Ave highways and also
Is situated on the railway, The city is
being used as supply station for the
Italians. From here the Italians will be
able to dominate not only the lower
mountain region but also the enemy
troops on the Lower Piave.
Large numbers OF Italian cavalry al
ready have crossed the Pave. The posi-
ton OF the enemy forces on the lower
stream liz becoming critical and they
may be cut Off.
The taking OF Conegliano was ef-
fected by italian troops. which crossed
the Piave south OF the Nervesa region

through roads barred and blocked by
barbed wire 2nd machine guns.
The first troops to enter Conegliano
were seven cyclists, who were followed
by the Como Infantry Brigade. The
Italians were met by civilians waving
Italian flags.
With three successive days OF fair
weather. an extremely large body of
troops, with supplies. has crossed the
pontoons over the Piave. 1t Is expected
that the Austrian munition supply will
give out. There are indications that the
enemy's heavy artillery is being with
drawn In an effort to save the big guns
The American Red Cross Is preparing
to assist the Italian population In towns
evacuated by the Austrians. The major
lily of these people are old men and
women and children. For ten miles back
from the river the country has been
devastated. Only one house Is left stand

King Victor Emmanuel visited the re-
conquered territory to-day. The cor
respondent saw him helping TO straighten
out traffic on a crowded road over which
Italian troops and thousands OF Aus
TRAN prisoners were passing. The Ital-
ians cheered the King. who smiled and
shook hands with the italian soldiers
