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 theback-door of the Julian front. Sec- retary Lansing received a chlegram km Thursday from the American Am- bassador at Rome confirming inform- ation received at the Italian Embassy that the Italian army is retiring in good order, that the pressure from the‘ direction of the eneriiy had les- sened, and that the Government had the unified support of the Italian peo- lple and all political parties. $3.i4 Bid?

CANADIANS 1N PIERCE STRUGGLE One of Bitterest Battles of War Has 'Developed at Passchendaele.. Canadian Headquarters in France, Nov. 4.â€"The struggle before Pass- chendaele has developed into one of the bitterest battles in the whole hisâ€" tory of the Canadian forces. Driven from his positions at Bellevue farm and on Passchendaele Spur in the first Canadian attack, and smashed out of Meetcheele and Crest farm in the second Canadian advance, the enemy is fighting desperately to retrieve his losses, or, at least, maintain his posi- tion at Passchendaele itself. His faith in the protective value of the swamps and marsh which protected his ad- vanced areas broken, and his best in- fantry routed in hand-to-hand fightâ€" ing, the Bosche is throwing in fresh divisions, rushing up guns, and strengthening his defences in every possible manner. LOSSES OF BRITISH Petrograd, Nov. 4.â€"An arrange- ment has been perfected between the Rumanian and the Russian Govern- ments for the diversion of the Bes- sarabian wheat crop to Rumania.‘ Storage depots have been established, and 20,000 tons of the grain already assembled. The crOp is abundant, and it is estimated it will more than meet the needs of the armyr ' The October losses compare favor- ably-for the British with those re- ported during September, which to- talled 104,598.

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 prediclment. Rbme, Nov. 4.â€"Heavy attacks were launched on the Italian lines in the Giudicaria zone on the Trentino front yesterday after extended artillery preparation. The War Office an- nounced to-day that these attacks, which were directed at advanced posts in the Daone and Giumell val- leys, were repulsed after hard fight- mg. The artillery duel along the Taglia- mento is proceeding and the Italians are replying with vigorous measures to stronger Austro-German pressure on the Italian left wing. FURTHER GAINS ON THE TIGRIS The British, Advanceâ€"Take Positions 20 Miles North ' of Samara. London, Nov. 4â€"â€"The following of- ficial eommunication, dealing with the operations in Mesopotamia and show- ing thzk the British forces have made further progress up the Tg’ris River northwest of Bagdad, was made pub- lic by the War Office this evening: ITALIANS STOP TEUTON DRHVE ' ALONG THE TAGLIAMENTO RWER Enemy OffensWe in the Trentino Repulsed After a Desperate Battle.

Northern Italy has at- tracted increased attention following the announcement in Britain that Lloyd George and Generals Smuts, Robertson, Chief of Stafl’; Maurice and Wilson and other general officers have gone to Italy. It is understood concentrations are being made in an- ticipation of an immense struggle either on the line of Tagliamento or in positions to the near. Both the alâ€" lies and the Germans are hurrying forces and hope to deliver a' blow which will possibly terminate the war, at least as far as Italy’s part is concerned. “Early Friday morning one of our reconnoitringr columns, moving up the Tigris, engaged the Turks holding a position on the right bank of the river opposite Due, about twenty miles north of Samarar “The enemy hastily withdrew to- ward Tekrit, under the cover of a strong rear guard. Our troops drove the latter from successive lines of trenches and occupied the whole position. Meanwhile our civalry har- assed the retreating enemy‘xthrough- out the day. “Eighty-nine prisoners and a quan- tity of ammunition were ‘ captured. Our troops fought with much‘ dash and showed great power of endurance.” ghtly. Numero, Turi bed this country, cont: brilliant offensive had invasion. i'v'e had not then Troops Operating in Holy Land Captured Turkish Base. A despatch from London says: The British force operating in the Holy Land has captured the City of Beer- sheba, on the Southern Palestine boundary, 42 miles from Jerusalem. The Turks put up a desperate resist- ance. but the British losses were slight in comparison with the results obtained. Over 1,800 Ottomans were taken prisoner, and they lost nine guns. The official report read: “General Allenby (commander of the British forces in Egypt) reports that after a night march our troops attacked Beersheba Wednesday morn- ing. While our infantry attacked the defences covering the town from the west and south-west, mounted troops made a wide turning movement through the desert and approached it from the east. BEERSHEBA CITY TAKEN BY BRETISH “Beersheba was occupied in . the evening in spite of determined resist- ance by the enemy." An additional official statement is- sued Thursday evening says: “In the Beersheba operations we captured 1,800 prisonefs and nine guns. Our losses were slight in comparison to the results obtained." A despatch from London sais: 'A British ofiicial communication issued Friday evening- dealing with the oper- ations near Jerusalem says: “General Allenby reports that he is now hold- ing the position covering Beersheba on“ the north. We haveisuccessfully raided another portion of the Turkish front. “A large number of Turks were killed and fifteen prisoners and a ma- chine gun weye brought back.” Considerable impo‘tance is attach- ed here to the capture of Beersheba in Southern Palestine. It is assumed that General Allenby will now be able to outflank the Turkish positions at Gaza, which have held up the British forces since Sir Archibald Murray’s recent reverse in Egypt. Beersheeba ié at the head of a val- ley which leads straight to Hebron and then to Jerusalem, through which the Beershebaâ€"Jerfisalem rail- way has been laid. It is obvious that this broad valley will afford a means of approach to Jerusalem, even though the Turks succeed in destroy- ing the railway lines. FRENCH REACH THE AILLETTE Germans Retreat Beyond Chem- in-des-Dames to Distance of 1% Miles. 0n the French Front in France, Nov. 4.â€"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 Aillette being reached everywhere. Altogether since yesterday about 18 square miles of territory have fallen into French hands, the progress being necessarily slow owing to the uncertainty as to where the Germans will make a. stand. Many points of the line were bom- barded by the German big guns dur- ing the French advance, especial] ‘in the neighborhood of Ailles, ere numerous mustard-gas shells vome- what delayed the progress of the French troops. The Paris War Office announces that during the course of the battle of Malmaison, which ended in the with- drawal of the Germans across the Ail- lette, French aviators attacked the enemy troops with their machine guns, bombarded stations and points of concentration. They fought 611 aerial engagements. Sixteen German aeroplanes were brought down, and three captive balloons set on fire. In addition, 50 enemy aeroplanes fell in- side their own lines, the greater part of them being‘completely destroyed. 3351mm 9,125 GERMANS Good Record of Captures 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 captured by the British armies in France during October is 9,125, in- cluding 242 officers. We also have taken during the same period fifteen guns, 431 machine guns and 42 trench mortars."
