The rFhird army, ur dler the conhmnand of the (hike of Aosit retreated in orderly fashion and saver all its guns and material, but the otl1 era lost about 180,000 men and 1,50 guns, and immense quantities o stores were destroyed to keep ther from falling into the enemy's handh Generally speaking, the. retreat wa conducted in a masterful way a~nd tb armies fell lnck to the Tagliamient river, while the rear guards delaye the pursuing Teutons and the envair harassedl them.

However, the military leaders f t lie entente are now awake to the importane of the Italian front, and there are indientons that they will conceltrate much of their efforts there ilritg the winter, when opera tions in Flanders must necessarily he d halted. This will be in accordance with the advice of an italian general given many nionths ago and hitherto ignored. The question of a joint allied war council to direct operations on -all fronts is made more imperative by the E utlian affair and may be settled at the coming conference in Paris. Ev eryone admits that lack of team work has been responsible for most of the d reverses the allies have suffered. It is expected that Germany will now make a new suggestion of peace, as she has done after each of her suc cessful drives, and also it is expected that the allies will reject it with scorn, as in the past. In Russia the peace agitation 18 dying down because of the German operations in the Gulf of Riga and the peril of the Gulf of Finland ports and of Petrograd. The crisis there served to strengthen the hands of the Ker ensky government, and even the ex treme Socialists and other radical fac tions are urging the army to resist further German advances. There was little fighting on the Russian front last week, and the German fleet apparently had abandoned or postponed its plans to enter the Gulf of Finland. s Good Gains in Flanders. e Attention must not be 'holly di verted from the western front by the I invasion of Italy. There was desper e ate fighting in Flanders, in the course of which the French and British, with the efficient aid of the Belgian troops, I madie some very important gains. In the swamps south of Dixmude the ) French and Belgians took Merekem t peninsula and the village of Luyghem, A little farther south the British kept .up their attacks on the part ot the i Passfcaendnele ridge still held by the Ea Germans, und the Canugdians led in ari Soffensive which carried them almost 1 into the town itself. -Further progress c' on this line will prohnbly result in the -capture of Roulers, an important rail k center only six miles northeast of the o ridge andl already dominated by thc o British guns. t Aloeg the Aisne and in the Verdur y region the French successfully with r, stood all the attacks of the crowr f prince and1( Infieted heavy losses or him.

GENERAL DIAZ SUCCEEDS HIM, Rated as one of the Ablest Men in the Italian Arny--Allies Aroused to Necessity of Closest Union in Nam ing Committee. Italian Army Headquarters -- The conference of British, French and Ita. ian representatives has resulted in the creation of a permanent inter-allied military committee. New leadorgLip 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 coin. mittee. General Dias has been appointed first in command with General Badog lio second and General Grandino third. General Foch, chief of staff of the French war ministry, and General Wil son, sorb-chief of the British gereraJ staff, will serve on the interallied com mittee with General Cadorna. Among military officers the decision of the allies to create a permanent military committee has caused great satisfaction, it is accepted as evident that the allies have awakened to the necessity for the closest union of othe whole length of the western front for the epolitical and military conduct the war. General Diaz is rated as one of the ablest Italian military leaders. For years he was connected with the gen eral staff. He took part in the Libyan war, serving as a colonel and was wounded so severely that he asked to be wrapped in a flag, feeling that dpatb was at hand. General Badoglio is a northerner. In the war he has been in command of a brigade of Berseglieri, whose heroic deeds have done much to decrease the gravity of the disaster. RUSSIAN WORKMEN'S-SOLDIERS' COUNCIL MAY SEEK ARMISTICE Armistice of Three Months is Ma d malist Leadere's Proposal. Petrograd.--"We plan to offer an immediate armistice of three months, during which elected representatives from all nations and not the diplo mats, are to settle the questions of peace," said Nikolai Lenine, the Max imalist leader, in a speech before the workmen's. and soldiers' congress.f "We offer these terms," M. Letdne added, "but we eare willing to consid er any proposals for peace, no matter from which side. We offer a just peace, but will not accept unjust terms." The congress of soldiers' and work men's delegates appealed to the' R s sian army to stand firm and to protect the recvlution against imperialistic attempts until the new govergptent+ had obtained a democratic peace. The proclamation further declares ,that the soldiers' and workmiens con gress will propose an armistice to. come into force at once on all fronts." The congress of the soldiers' and workmen's delegates in its proclama tion announces that it has taken over governmental authority and says: "We appeal to the soldiers in the trenches to be vigilant and firm. The congress expects the revolutionary' army wfll protect the revolu44on against, all imperialist attempts until the new government has obtained a democratic peace which it will pr peoe directly to all -the peoples. "The new government will take adequate measures to assure to the army all necessaries and by energetic requiitions from the upper classes It will also arheliorate the economic sit uation of soldiers' families. "The power of the soldiers' g.nd workmen's delegates ' will assure 'h free return of all private, state and ecclesiastical lands to the pasants' committees. * * * It will guarantee to all natdonalities inhabiting Ru. ala the right of their sons to organise their own future."
