Var Department In Review Points
Out That Vital Sector of War
Is "Vet in France, Where Ad
vance Still Continues.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. England,
France and Italy stand firmly united
to oppose any further advance of the
enemy in the Italian sector, says the
War Department's weekly review of
military operations. The statement
euggests that the Teutons probably
thought Italy would be left to her fate
or that the allies would be unable to
dispatch the necessary forces in time,
"but declares that England and France
already have sent largo reinforcements,
and the western front today stretches
from the North Sea to the Adriatic.
Only bare mention of the American
troops in France is made by the de
partment. In pointing out that the
momentous events in Italy must not
"lead us to forget that the principal
battle front of the war remain: in
France and Flanders," the statement
cays: "Here our forces are fighting."
War Enter Open Stage.
"Our attention during the past week
has been centered on the gigantic
utruggle now going on in the Friullan
I'lain," says the review.
"The Austro-German forces, breaking
through the Italian defenses along the
upper reaches of the Isonzo, have
erupted into the lowlands and carried
forward a series of rapidly co-ordinated
operations which have resulted in
the conquest of much territory. Trench
warfare has, for the time being, been
abandoned. Great troop masses are
maneuvering in open country.
"Under the direction of General
Cadorna the Italian armies have with
drawn to the west bank of the Taglla
mento River.
"The momentous events in Italy
chould not lead us to forget that the
principal battle front of the war re
mains, as it has been since the begin
ning, the important sectors of the
western front in France and Flanders.
Forward Pnah Continues.
"'Here the overwhelming bulk of
enemy strength Is concentrated. Here
our forces are fighting. Steadily the
Franco-British forces are pushing for
ward. "In Flanders allied attacks were par
ticularly successful. The British have
compelled the Germans to retire north
of the Ypres-Roulers road.
"North of the Aisne the French have
enlarged their success of the preceding
ween Dy taking certain villages, which
they have successfully held in the lace
of strong counter-attacks by the
enemy. These operations are of great
tactical importance.
"The Germans, unable to withstand
the intense pressure of the French in
this sector, have made a retiring movement.-
As yet no exact Indications have
been received as to its extent, thoueh
it Is anticipated that it may result in a
readjustment of the enemy line in the
region ot Laon, Latere and even north
ward to St. Quentin.
Werder Peninsula Abandoned.
"Along the eastern front there has
Been little change in the situation. The
Germans have evacuated the Werder
jeninsma. This leaves the enemy
without any foothold on the northern
peninsula of the Gulf of Riga, and
would indicate that he is contemplating
no further advance on Fetrograd for
me time Deing.
"In Palestine the British have
a distinct success by the capture of
Beersheba, including a large number of
prisoners.
"The British are extending their
gains in this area and are pushing
northward toward Jerusalem, which ob

DIRE PENALTIES LAID ON
AUSTRIA COURT-MARTIAL STORY
ALMOST INCREDIBLE.
Reading; of One Russian Proclamation
Resulted In Six Death Sentences
and 33 Imprisonments.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. (Special.)
An almost incredible story of penalties
inflicted by Austrian courtmartlals was
given out tonight by the committee on
public information. It is translated
from the Vienna workingman's journal,
which published the facts to demon
strate the necessity of the general am
nesty which Emperor Charles pro
claimed. it is related, how one copy of a proc
lamation by the Czar and General
Krennenkampf, which had been dropped
in 1914 from a Russian airplane on the
Austrian troops, was responsible for
sentences against 39 persons. Six were
death sentences and the others aggre
gated 91 years.
The article goes on to tell of the
sentencing to 18 months each of nine
school children who listened to the
reading of the proclamations and of 11
other school children to one year In the
penitentiary. Three 16-year-old boys
received 10-year sentences.
The landlord of one pupil received
three years and a second man who
showed a copy to his helper was sen
tenced to death.
SUNDAY SUNSHINE LURES
Many Motorists Caught in Shower
and Rain Predicted for Today.
Yesterday ventured forth ideally
with clear Fall sunshine that wheedled
many a motorist out on the highways
and organized many an impromptu
picnic as the "last one this year."
A few mackerel clouds drifted across
the forenoon sunshine, but gave no
hint of the somewhat abrupt veer in
the weather which transpired in mid
afternoon, when the clouds thickened
and hid the sun, while a light shower
varied the programme. The maximum
temperature was 66 and the mini
mum 44.
Today will be a rainy one, predicts
the weatherman, with increased south
easterly winds. The rain will be gen
eral over Oregon and Washington.

(By the Associated Press.)
Great Britain and France are rushing
to the aid of Italy in her critical hour.
Not alone have men and guns been sent
to the battle front along the Taglia-
mento River, where the Italians are
holding the Teutonic invaders at bay.
but the war brains of Great Britain
and France are on their way to Italy
to consult with the Italian leaders.
Purpose la Plain.
Premier Lloyd George and General
Sir William R. Robertson, chief of the
imperial staff at British army head
quarters, are the leaders of the British
delegation, while Premier Palnleve is
the chief representative or the rencn
mission.
No details of the plans of the joint
mission have been announced, but un
doubtedly the purpose is to give Italy
what she requires in the way of mate
rial for an intensive conduct of the war
and also to assure her of a great rein
forcement in man power, guns and am
munition.
Aviator Lead Aid.
Meanwhile, General Cadorna's forces
are holding the invaders along the Tasr
liamento by means of their heavy artil
lery and quick firers. All along the
front Italian aviators are dropping
bombs on enemy ammunition depots
and troop formations.
What for the moment would indicate
a further menace to me Italians is an
offensive begun by the enemy In the
Trentino region. In the zone of the Giu
dicaria. Here the enemy has endeavored
to break through the territory to the
west of the northern shores of Lake
Garda, but was repulsed after a heavy
battle, leaving prisoners In th- hands
of the Italians.
Recently there have been reports that
the Austro-Swiss border has been
closed and that the enemy forces in
the Trentino region were being rein
forced. NEW YORK VOTES TUESDAY

sionist nor Democrat pays any atten
tion to the others" 11-hour oooet, for,
being old hands at the game, they
know that these swan songs are Just
part of the regulation before the bat
tle ceremonies, but when Hillquit is
sues a claim of election as brazen as
either, they are Impressed. It !s as
if children playing at Halloween mum
mery, laughing at Aunt Jane and Uncle
Bill's spook make-ups, which they pen
etrate easily, should see a new ghost
and be chilled by it. The old parties,
like the children, know abstractly that
all spooks are fakes, but an unfamiliar
one has still the power to awe.
New Recralta Swallow Promlsea.
The old-line, standpat Socialists
know that Hillquit's election, beyond
giving them prestige, would work no
magic, but the new recruits that have
been brought into his fold by the high
cost of living and their terror at the
war, swallow every promise he has
made and they have been plenty. If
the Hillquit programme went through
New York would spend 12,000,000.000
forthwith and its annual expenditure
would be increased 1100.000,000. They
believe that with Hillquit as Mayor the
war would terminate at once, the tene
ments would come down overnight and
the terrified capitalists. Identified in
their minds with the corner butcher
shop and the pushcart markets, would
cut the price of food to what it vat In
Posen and Roumanla. while wages
would soar and every one of them
would have a home fronting the parks
that would spring into being In every
slum and ghetto.
Bis Vote la Expected.
Nobody knows what the Socialist
vote will be. I have accepted the esti
mates, made at the old party head
quarters, of from 125.000 to 150.000
votes, which is a pretty big Jump from
the 35,000 or 40,000 of ordinary elec
tions, but with the new accessions of
high cost of living converts, pro-Germans
attracted by Hillquit's declara
tions in favor of an immediate peace
on their lines, and ordinary people dis
gusted at the charges and counter
charges of Mitchel and Hylan, all of
which have enough basis of fact for
election-day purpose, may bring his
total above this figure. Anything over
200,000 would make Hillquit's election
a real danger. I can find nobody in
New York, outside of the actual Social
ists, who think he will attain to any
such figure, but few people are sure
about It.
Maaa Meeting Enormous.
He addressed a meeting at Madison
Square Garden that for numbers and
enthusiasm equaled any rally the old
meeting place has ever held. They had
to close the doors early in the after
noon and several hundred policemen
were busy for the rest of .he day
shooing away the late comers to pre
vent their blocking the streets. This
may not mean anything very serious,
for the Socialist is the best mass meet
ing fan in the business.
Just the same, they spoke with
chilled concern of this Hillquit meet
ing at the fusion and Democratic head
quarters. The alarm penetrated even
to the pro-Germans, who this afternoon
issued a circular calling on all the
faithful to vote for Hylan.
Interruption of political meetings is
the rule In New York during this elec
tion. Every speaker Is questioned;
free fights are as common as soubrettes
on Broadway, and the police are having
the busiest times in their far-from-dull
lives.
The campaign is over now, but the
wrangling will go on till the polls
close on Tuesday.
The political sharps say the drift is
still from Hylan to Mitchel, and affect
to see an increase in the rapidity of the
Hillquit ebb. Still I think former esti
mates can stand and Hylan's election
by approximately 30,000 may be ex
pected. The betting stands at 3 to 1, but there
are no wild mobs waving money to
place on either side.

BANK OF AILETTE REACHED
Evacuation of Territory Evidently
Made Hurriedly and Extent of
Movement Not Vet Decided.
Vantage Points. Gained.
ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE. Nov. 4. (By the Associated
Press.) The French advance in pur
suit of the Germans beyond the Chemin
des Dames has attained an average of
a mile and a half, the southern bank
of the Ailette being reached every
where. Altogether since yesterday
about 18 square miles of territory have
fallen into French hands.
Many points in the line were bom
barded by the German big guns during
the French advance, especially in the
neighborhood of Ailles. Numerous
mustard gas shells somewhat delayed
the progress of the French troops.
The French are displaying the great
est prudence in their movements in con
sequence of the frequency of the cav
erns on the sides of the hills. As a
result of this caution the troops first
going forward discovered a number or
traps for the unwary. In Cerny a steel
helmet hung on a polo was on examina
tion found to have an electric wire con
nection running into a mine which
would explode in the event of being
snatched away.
Point of Vantage Gained.
At the present moment the French oc
cupy every crest and possess the ob
servatories above Craonne. Ailles. Cer
ny and Courteon, while so far as can be
made out the Germans have established
their line on the other side of the
Ailette. They destroyed every bridge
over the Ailette as they retired.
The German evacuation was discov
ered on Friday when a patrol of chas
seurs found one of the German front
trenches empty and immediately gave
the alarm. Other patrols advanced
and found all the trenches empty antt
a search of dozens of shelters and tun
nels confirmed the departure of the
Germans.
It was evident that the German
troops which occupied the front lines
until the last moment received little
warning of the order to retire as half
cooked meals, still hot, were found in
the saucepans.
French Reorganise PoMltlon.-
It is a remarkable coincidence that
the same French troops which are fac
ing the Germans on this occasion had
occupied Lassigny when the Germans
executed their retreat in March of this
year.
The entire position, which in a perfect
honeycomb of shelters, was reorgan
ized by the French during the course of
the day and last night.
It is uncertain whether the Germans
Intend to retreat further, although
many movements of the troops toward
the north have been observed and it Is
believed Laon has been evacuated by
the civilian population. It is known
that the Germans were busily engagea
throughout the Summer in establish
ing field work at a considerable dis
tance in tha rear of their present position.
