$4,000 AUSTR|ANS
IN GREAT BATTLE

Pave River.
CAVALRY FIGHTS IN OPEN
Enemy Army Is Disorganized and Foe
Routed on 40-MiIe Front-French,

Yanks in Reserve, Smash
Enemy

Rome, Oct 30-Allied troops are re-
ported to be nearly eight miles east
of the Piave river and still are driving
the disOrganized Austrians before
them Cavalry and light infantry de-
tachments have forced a crossing of
the MOnticanO river, routed the enemy
rear guards at VazZOla and are head
ed in the direction of the LivenZa river
to the east.
Over the 40-miIe front from the re-
giOn of Mont Grappa, in the north,
eastward and then south nearly to
Ponte di Piave, 20 miles north of the
sea, Italian, British and French troops
everywhere reported a victorious adj
vance.
Enemy Resistance Weakens.
The resistance of the Austrians, on
the British front, particularly, appears
to be weakening rapidly. This is indi-
Gated by the fact that British cavalry
is operating in the open, following Il
clean break through the enemy lines.
The number of prisoners captured,
it is officially reported, number $4,000,
counted, while many more are herded
on the east bank of the Piave, pending
an opportunity to cross.
Hold East Bank.
On the front of the attack, the Ital-
ian official statement says, the allies
are masters of the east bank of the
Piave, having broken down the enemy
opposition and driven the AuStrians
far enough back to permit of unham-
pered troop movements across the
stream.
At the north end of the attack line
on the Piave italian troops have
StOrmed Val DObbiadende, have swept
up and taken the heights of COlfOstO,
Overrun the SauSegam plain and taken
the town OF that name. COnegliana,
five miles northeast of the left bank
of the PiaVe, has been occupied and
passed in the advance.
French Storm Mount.
North of the MontellO the French
took Mont PiOnar by storm, while Ital-
ian troops north and west, crossed the
Ornie river, an east and west stream,
which flows into the Piave, and drove
the AuStrianS from Alamo eli Piave.
British units, far to the west of the
Brenta, raided the enemy trenches Op-
pOSite AsiagO and found them unOccu-
pied.
The captures in material have been
heavy, including not only field artil-
lery but cannon of large caliber.

More Young Democracy Than Plain Rice

\ JAPAN, so the world heard one
morning, something happened very
suddenly, and the observers and
commentators are not vet sure
what it was. There is fear of German
propaganda, sinister and hidden in the
land that now turns from its potential
menace to German ambitions to become
an actual danger in its character Of ST.
berian arbitrator. From the long dis
tance view it is seen as possible that
the riots betoken nothing more than
their surface facts Indicate The peo-
pie may really be hungry; the distribu-
tlon, even as well as production, of food
products may be badly managed But
The New York Call" the Socialist
newspaper, remarks that mot even
Japan is immune from the social fer
ment that is heaving all over the world
And The New York Sun points out
that Japan has a population Of around
55,000,000 with only 2,201 fam
lies owning each more than quarter
of million dollars in wealth, and that
most Of this wealth has been gathered
in the last forty years. The Sun"
asks: Is it not automatic that unless
broad views and sympathes should IN
crease with the hoard Of gold the social
system would be strained?' The New
York Evening World" points out that
taxes, the heritage Of the war with Rus
STA, still rest heavily on the people, and
the increased burdens of the present
military programme have brought about
weariness Of burdens among the peo-
pie The New York Tribune adds to
the information on japan by showing
that when Japan, faced by the road to
subjection or to supremacy chose the
latter, she 'accepted competition with
Western industrialism on terms that
were almost heartbreaking. For Japan
to become an industrial nation Japanese
labor had TO be the cheapest Of It's Kind
and quality in the world, which it is.
The hardships are terrific"
Adachi Kinnosuke, who sees many
nuances in Japanese situations that

Division OF opinion about the advis-

tion. Japan's internal politics have been

"The Springfield Republican" aware
of political disturbances in Japan ques-
tions how far they have been active in
producing the present situation, and
says:
1T is not yet clear whether the dis
orders in Japan, the magnitude Of which
is unknown because Of close censorship,

and scarcity Of food or have political
origin The Terauch government has
powerful political opponents. and it is well
known that Intervention in Siberia ex-
cept to promote Japanese interests, has
been far from popular in Japan In busi-
ness circles it has been felt that Japan
could not afford it. Japan is not rich
country and the war has given it a wonder
ful opportunity to better its condition.
