THE WEEKLY WAR PICTURE ITALIANS MAKE STAND ON NEW LINE; ALLIES ARRIVE IN HALY Gen. Cadorna's Army Ready to Check Foe â€" Allied Veterans Welcomed by Italiansâ€" Teutons Claim 180,000 Men and 1,500 Guns. â- Jiil^'^f ifali'ii" V Ww'' Mud in Flanders: Britain's worst foe. An exasperation for these Tommies during the present Battle of Flanders. The horse, after a brave struggle, has dropped down on its haunches in the mud, while the men dis- cuss the best way out of the predicament. SEVEN CANADIANS BEERSHEBA CITY ESCAPE FROM HUNS TAKEN BY BRITISH A despatch from London says : The ; greater portion of General Cadorna's third army apparently has crossed the Tagliamento River to the western bank, and will be in position on a new line of defence to give battle to the Teutonic allies. The advance of the enemy, although it has been remarkably fast, was not quick enough to carry out the pur- pose of the military commanders of enveloping the Italians and putting them out of battle from the Carnic Alps to the head of the Adriatic Sea. The Italians lost heavily in men and guns capturedâ€" the latest German of- ficial communication asserting that more than 180,000 men and 1,500 guns were taken by the Teutonic al- lies â€" and also suffered terribly from hardships due to bad weather and lack of food as they made their way across the country to Tagliamento, with their rearguards everywhere I harassing the enemy. But General I Cadorna declares that with the morale I of his men still splendid the success 1 of the invaders soon will be made nil. j On the eastern side of the Taglia- mento the Teutonic allies have cap- tured along the waterway from Piz- ano to Latisana bridgehead, positions THE BEST CARTOON OF THE WEEK from which to operate against the \ Italians on the other side of the . stream. A despatch from Washington says: Anglo-Fr^jich reinforcements have reached the Venetian front, where General Cadorna's second and third armies are declared to have retired in good order toward the new line â€" prob- : ably that of the Tagliamento â€" where the projected stand is to be made. ! Official information reaching Wash- ington from Rome on Thursday as- ; serted that the Italians had welcomed the British and Federal veterans en- thusiastically, and that the Anglo- French Commanders found the per- sonnel and material of the Italian army to be stronger than it was thought they would be after having sustained so severe a shock as that which the Teutons delivered through the back-door of the Julian front. Sec- retary Lansing received a cablegram , on Thursday from the American Am- \ , bassador at Rome confirming inform- ' ation received at the Italian Embassy 1 that the Italian army is retiring in good order, that the pressure from ! the directian of the enemy had les- .sened, and that the Government had the unified support of the Italian peo- ' pie and all political parties.

I .A. despatch from London says: The Germans have retreated from points ' along the Chemin-des-Dames. in the .Aisne sector of the front in France. I according to the German official 00m- j muncation issued Friday evening. The i communication gives no reason for the manoeuvre, but says that it was made during Thursday night system- atically and without interference by the French troops. The text of the communication follows: "L^inoticed and umli.^turbed by the enemy we systematically withdrew our lines from the hilly front of the Chemin-des-Dames Thursday night." Chief of Admiralty tiives In- teresting Figures. I A despatch from London says: â€" , In defending the British navy in the House of Commons on Thursday night Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty, reviewed its accomplish- ments in this war. declaring that, un- like the enemy forces, its role was an offensive one. "During a recent month." he con- tinued, "the mileage steamed by our battleships, crui ers. a:id destroyers alone amounted to one million ship's miles in home waters. In addition to this, the naval au.\iliary forces patrol- led more than six million mi'es in the same period and territory. The dis- placement of the navy is 71 per cent, greater than in 1911. when it was J. 400.000 tons. .At the outbreak of the war we had eighteen mine-sweep- ers and au.xiliary patrols, to-day there ' are 3,3i)tj. The personnel of the fleet before the war wa.- 1 4i;,OO0. to-day it ! is 390.000." ' Sir Eric Geddes';,; declaration that between forty and fifty per cent, of the German submarines operating in ' the North Sea. the .Atlantic and the â-  .Arctic Oceans had been sunk was not the least interesting of his announce- I ments. and there was an indication of ' the unceasing war the British and ; .Americ:(n patrols are making on the s'. bmarine in his statement that dur- ing the last quarter the enemy had lost as many submarines as during the whole of 1916. ago said they were tired of the war. and who were willing to listen to Ger- man agents, now either are in hiding or are hastening to admit that they were misled.

Raid on London Defeated. .A despatch from London says: Thursday morning's air raid was ap- parently the most elaborate attempt to "lay London in ruins" ever made by the Germans. That it was a failure was due to the new air defences which, with the gunfire of the aero- planes, harassed the enemy and broke up his squadrons so that at most three machines were able to cross the met- ropolis, where they droppe<l a few bombs. LOSSES OK BKITISH IN OCTOBER *-l.M'. A despatch from London says: British casualties reported during the month of October totalled 82.377. The losses were divided as follows: Officers killed or died of wounds. 1,- 445; men. 14.98.5. Officers wounded or missing, 4.13.'?; men. i>1.841. The October losses compare favor- ably for the British with those re- ported during September, which to- talled 104..598. During October Field- Marshal Haig undertook several re- newals of the big drive in Flanders, making notable progress in the pro- cess still under way of driving a wedge into the German lines, which is threatening a wide sector in Bel- gium and Northern France. The ( apture of Meetcheele by I Canada's Oldest Battalion I Was (ilorious Teat. ' .\ lie.-patch from Canadian Head- quarters in France says: The Cana- dians have closeil in further towarti Passchendaele. Following the great battle on the left wing, when our troops on the extreme left proved their marked superiority over the en- emy while our right outposts ventur- ed into the outskirts of Passchendaele itself, the fightin<4 has been intermit- tent all along the line. Opposite .Meetcheele. where the front lines are near together, the Canadians and the Boches. under the Red Cro.ss flag, evacuated their wou:ided on Wednes- liay aftertioon. Stretcher-bearers of both forces passed ai:d repassed one another in the mud and slime. Meetcheele was protected With con- crete strongholds, and was strong in machine guns. Seventy-tive yards be- yond was another point equally pow- erful. Canada's wildest battalion cap- tured Meetcheele. That capture will live in Caiiadian history for the daring of the battalion which made it, ju^t as the capture of Bellevue Spur, when the full story can be written, will live because of the gallantry of the men who took it, and the splendid individ- ual record of one man, upon whose judgment, in a critical moment, much of the succes.< of the whole attack de- pended. BRITISH TOOlT 9,125 GERMANS Good Record of (.aptures During October on the West Front. .A despatch from London says: â€" The following official communication was issued here Thursday evening: "The hostile artillery has shown considerable activity during the day east and north of Ypres. Our own artillery has carried out a number of concentrated bombardments of enemy positions in the battle area. "The number of German prisoners captuied by the British armies in France during Otlober is 9,r:J6. In- cluding 242 officers.
