New leadership for the Italian army has ' been provided. General Cadorna, who has been in supreme command of the Italian army since the beginning of the war, has \* "*' been given a place on the new com- t (. mittee. •• New heads of the Italian army have ,- been named.

Among military officers the decision of the allies to create a permanent military committee has caused great satisfaction. It Is accepted as evi dence that the allies have awakened to the necessity for the closest union of the. whole length of the western front for the political and military conduct •t* of the war. General Dinr is ratedas one of the ablest Italian military leaders. General Badoglio is a northerner. In the war he has been in command of a brigade of Bersaglierl, whose heroic deeds have done much to 'de crease the gravity of the disaster. General Grandino was minister of war In the cabinet of Premier Boselll. He was one of the leading generals. The Italians continue their retreat In accordance with the plan of the general staff. From the Trevlso hills they are pouring down a rain of shells on the Germans and Austrians, making them pay a heavy price for the ground they gain. A dozen bridges have been blown up on the Lfvenza river to arrest and de lay as much as possible the advance of the Austro-Germans toward the Plave river. Both British and French troops are going toward the front. Hie French and British representa tives who have come to Italy had a conference of two hours with King Victor Emanuel. , The military measures called for by the present situation were discussed In active and cordial collaboration. On leaving the king the party visited French and British troops going to ward the front. The Italians are still holding back the Austrians and Qerauins by rear guard actions, while thtLlhain body of the troops Is establishing itself on the positions chosen for the resistance, says the official statement issued on Friday. Berlin, Nov. 12.--The Austro-Ger- znan forces in northern Italy, over coming the resistance of the Italian rear guards, are advancing toward the Piave river, the war office announced on Friday.

U. & Department ©f Agriculture Issues Statement Prepared by Bureau Bacteriologists. Washington, Nov. 10.--The United States department of agriculture has Issued the following statement pre pared by the bacteriologists of Us bu reau of chemistry and the states rela tions service: "There Is no danger that the type of food poisoning known as 'Botu lism' will result from eating fruits or vegetables which have been canned by any of the methods recommended by the United States department of agriculture, provided such directions have been followed carefully. It is possible that In a number of instances the directions were not strictly fol lowed and that spoilage has occurred. Of course, extreme care should be taken to ascertain before eating canned goods of any kind whether the.v are in good condition, and if they have spoiled they should not be con sumed. "In case of any doubt ns to wheth er the contents of a particular can have spoiled, the safest plan is to throw it auav, although all danger of Botulism may be avoided by boiling the contents of the can for a few min utes, since the Bacillus botulinus and the toxin or poison which it pro duces are killed by such treatment. No canned goods of any kind which shows any signs of spoilage should ever be eaten. In the cold pack method of canning given out by the department of agriculture, only fresh vegetables are recommended for 'canninc. and sterilization is accomplished by the following processes: Cleansing, blanch ing, cold dipping, packing in clean, hot jars, adding boiling water, sealing Immediately, and then steriliz ing the sealed Jars at a minimum tem perature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit for one to four hours, according to the character of the material. Since the spores of B. botulinus are killed by heating for one hour at 175 degrees Fahrenheit (according to Jordan's 'Bacteriology' nnd other recognized textbooks) there Is no reason to be lieve that the botulinus organism will survive such treatment." ************************** PLENTY OF TURKEYS Washington, Nov. 10.--Plenti ful supplies of turkeys are avail able for the Thanksgiving mar ket, according to information In possession of the United States food administration, if the large stock of turkeys now In cold storage is placed on sale.

Immediate Peace First on Their Pro gram--Retreat of Italians Con tinues--British Take Highly Important Passchendaele Ridge--America's War Mission to Parii. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Kerensky and the provisional gov- efnmeut of Russia have fallen; the Maximalists led by Nikolai Lenine, pro-Gennan agitator, are in the sad dle ; the premier has fled and five or more of the 'members of his cabinet are under arrest; immediate peace with the centra I,powers will be of fered by the extreme radicals in con trol. Such is the dispiriting news that comes from the Slav republic, so culled. Chaos exists there and a long continued reign of anarchy is the pros pect. The only hopeful feature of the situation is that, as Ambassador Bakh- meteff sqy^s, the revolt is a revolt of the few against the many. The Max imalists control Petrograd and prob ably the .fortress of Kronstndt, but tl.ey have all Russia to reckon with, and especially the Cossacks, who have no sympathy with the plan to make a separate peace with the central pow ers. M. Bakhmeteff feels sure that the majority of the Russians who fol lowed Kerensky are with the provi sional government heart and "soul, un derstand that Russia's freedom can be assured only by the defeat of Germany by the allies, and will fight to the end. The spirit prevailing In Pet-rograd. he asserts, is not representative of the Russian spirit as a whole. Loyal Women Fight the Rebels. Of all the armed forces In and about the capital It appears that the wom an's battalion alone remained loyal to the government. It.was stationed at the winter palace and when that build ing was attaekertete^the cruiser Aik rora and the guns^rtf&the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, it fought as bravely as possible until overwhelmed and compelled to surrender. The bat tle lasted four hours and was spec tacular. The rebels brought up ar mored cars to aid in overcoming the resistance of the heroic women. There was no chance to call other loyal troops to Petrograd, for the leaders of the workmen's and soldiers' delegates had seized the posts and telegraphs.- The rebel congress was convened Wednesday night, the officers elected Including Lenine and Leon Trotzky. Several proclamations were issued, one of them stating the program of the new authority to be: "First--The offer of an immediate democratic peaee. "Second--The Immediate handing over of large proprietorial stands to the peasants. "Third--The transmission of all au thority to the council of soldiers' and workmen's delegates. "Foui*th:--The honest convocation of a constitutional assembly." k is believed In London that Keren sky will re-establish the provisional government in Moscow and that the Soviet will not be strong enough to hold out long against him. For the present, however, the pro-Gernmns have the upper hand. Italians Retreat to the Llventa. AM had been expected. Count -Cn- donut did not attempt to make a long stand on the Tagliamento river line against the on-sweeping Austro-Ger- mun armies, but fell back last week to the' Llvenza, twelve to eighteen miles west. The enemy followed close ly, and the prospect was that the Ital ians would speedily be forced back to the Plave, where their main armies, already were being established. Ca- . ITALY HAS GOOD SCHOOLS dorna issued an order Including in the zone of military operations all terri tory north and east of the Po and Mlnclo rivers, so he may consider the possibility of carrying his retreat much farther than the Piave. Wheth er this will be necessary evidently de pends on the speed with which France, Great Britain and America can get men, guns and supplies to the Italian front. Guns and supplies' especially are called for by the Italians. The victory of the Germans In Italy will be far -from complete unless they can capture Venide. The German com manders already have hinted that they U-ill attack that city from the air, and naval operations against it are more than possible in the immediate future. As was said before, the invasion served to bring about a swift Union of all factions in Italy, and the govern ment, while realizing the extreme grav ity of the situation, Is confident, that the enemy will fail to accomplish their military object as they have their po litical object. The Italian armies are maintaining order and discipline and are cheerful, and the rear guards are fighting valiantly to retard the ad vance of the Teutons. As in Russia., formerly, so Ip Italy, the farther the Invaders penetrate, the more dangerous becomes their own po sition. They are moving away from their bases of supply, and must rebuild the lines of communication destroyed by the Italians in their retreat. Ca dorna, on the other hand, gains the protection of fivers larger than the Tagliamento, of many canals and of numerous railroads that are able to furnish all the transportation his con tracted front needs. British Gain Passchendaele Ridge. Sir Douglas Haig's periodical drive in Flanders, which is becoming a reg ular weekly, feature, accomplished most important results last week, when the Canadians succeeded in tak ing the village of Passchendaele and the ridge of the same name which dominates the country to the east. The dri,ve was made under most adverse conditions, the ground being flooded by torrential rains, but the British bar rage fire was perfect and the Infantry followed It so closely that the Germans in their concrete dugouts and pill boxes were stormed before they had time to get.into action. This advance brought Roulers under the guns of the British, and their aviators also began bombing that town with deadly effect. Following up the retiring crown prince's army north of, the Aisne, the French reached the south bank of the Ailette, but the Germans maintained their line on the other side of that stream by heavy and continuous ar tillery fire. Elsewhere on the French front all enemy attacks were success fully repulsed. General Allenby * reported that his troops in Palestine advanced beyond Beersheba with splendid dash and en durance and that on Wednesday he captured Gaza from the Turks. American Patrol Boat Torpedoed. The German U-boats found one American victim in the patrol boat Alcedo, which was torpedoed and sunk In British waters, going down in four minutes after being struck. Lieut. John T. Melvln and 20 men were lost.' The Alcedo was formerly the private yacht of G. W. Childs DreXel of Phila delphia. She carried a crew of seven officers and 85 men. The American merchant steamship Rochester also was destroyed by a torpedo, at least four men losing their lives. An Amer ican freighter arriving at an Atlantic port reported that her gun crew sank a German submersible that attempted 'to torpedo her In the Mediterranean. In general, the U-boats had a poor week, the British admiralty report showing that only eight British ves sels of more than 1.600 tons had been sunk, and four smaller vessels. This Is the smallest number of victims for any week since unrestricted submarine/ -warfare began. Von Hertllng May Not Last. " Count von Hertllng Isn't likely tb be German chancellor for very long, for unless he yields to the demands of the radicals, they intend to intro duce a resolution of lack of confidence as soon as the relchstag reconvenes on November 22. The count seems to threatening the radicals with a mili tary dictatorship unless they drop their claim that one of their number should be appointed vice chancellor. The relchstag majority, with which the count solemnly announced the other day he would now work In harmony, Is In danger of breaking up, with the result of a union of the national liber als and the conservatives. Such a coalition would have a bare majority and would be,subjected to constant at tack by the Socialists. The prospect of a political truce, it Is admitted, Is remote. The Budapest papers announce that the Austro-Hungarian ausglelc^, or agreement of the two kingdoms to unite under one emperor though hav ing separate parliaments, will be re- •newed provisionally for two years. The alliance, originally signed in 1807, Is supposed to be subject to renewal every ten years. Japan and America Agree. Viscount Ishii's mission to the Unit ed States has been successful and Japan Is guaranteed her price for more active participation in the war. The American government has agreed to recognize Japan's special interests in China and to permit the shipment to Japan of thp supplies of iron and steel that she needs. In return, Japan will furnish a great amount of tonnage for transport purposes, will get into ac tion her warships, numbering about a hundred and already mobilized, and probably will send an army to Europe. Italy Is asking that Japanese troops be called over to help repel the invading Teutons. Though Japan's special Interests In China are to be recognized because of contiguity, both nations agree to main tain the open door and the territorial sovereignty of China. Socialists Lose in Elections. Emperor William met a notable de feat in the United States last Tuesday, when in Chicago and New York the Socialists were thoroughly whipped at the polls. Supporting the Socialist nominees for judges in Chicago and for mayor and other city officials in New York, were all the forces of pro- Germanism, pacificism and disloyalty, and though they cast a disgracefully large vote, the defeat administered to them was decisive. These elections were looked upon, 'and rightly, as a test of the loyalty of the two largest cities in the country. Most of the Socialist candidates were openly anti-war men and some of them in their pre-election utterances came dangerously near the treason mark. Hence the victory of loyalty and pa triotism is cause for genuine rejoic ing. John F, Hylan, Tammany Democrat, was elected mayor of New York and ,the state gave a large majority in fa vor of Woman suffrage. In Ohio, how ever, the women lost. House Heads U. S. War Mission. Upon their arrival In a British port the administration announced the names of the members of the American war commission sent to take part in the great conference of the allies in Paris. Col. E. M. House is the chair? man and spokesman for the president on questions concerning the general' conduct of the war. The other mem bers are Admiral W. S. Benson, chief of naval operations; Gen. Tasker H.

Taylor, representative of Food Administrator Hoover; Thomas N. Perkins, member of the priority board, and Gordon Auchlnclofs, chief secretary of the commission. Secretary Lansing issued a state ment that makes it clear that the al lies realize that many of their re verses have been due to lack of team work, and that one of the chief aims of the conference will be to bring about unity of action. For its part, the Uhited States seeks to determine just how its man power and material re sources can be used to greatest advan tage to defeat the common enemy. Mr. Lansing laid especial emphasis on the fact that the conference Is a war conference and nothing else.

It is hard to realize that the original dreadnaught is now ten years old, and that, big as it is, close upbn 18,000 tons, it has been far surpassed In tonnage and armament, observes an exchange. It gave a new word to the world, for the name of the ship, one of the tradi tional names of the British navy, Is now applied to all ships of its class in every country. The word has taken the place of man of war, line of battle ship, and ironclad. Even now we have been obliged to go one better and the word superdreadnauglit has arisen. It is interesting to hark back to the most famous of Nelson's ships, probably the most famed vessel which ever sailed the sea, the Victory, and to compare it with even the first dreadnaught. The latter took 14 months to complete and cost $9,000,000, while the Trafalgar flagship, a little over 2,000 tons, re quired many years to build and cost only $415,000, a sum at that time con sidered colossal.
