AND CAPTURES PLATEAU

--TOlnuno Line Threatened.
.A. despetele from Washington sAYsl
--The Malian Embassy's officla'• ad-
vices regarding the progress of the
Italian offensive against the Austrians
indicate that the success of the forces
of Generals Cadorna and `Cepclllo, in
capturing the Bainsizza Plateau,is.aei
Important military gain that is threat-
ening the entire group of Tolmino do,
fences. The advices indicate that in
this offensive, the Italian Cone -wand-
er.in-chief, General Cadorra, in his
efforts to baffle and confuse the Aus-
trians, ]las riot oely routed their forces
as the Italians have advenced,,but left
the. Austrians in greatest.doitbt as to
the Italian objective, whether Trieste
or Laibaelt, or both these important
points.
Italian military experts here assert
that, with sufficient guns and muni-
tions, the Italian, fo ces under Cadoe-
ela will win a complete victory over
the Austrians on that front. The
Italian offensive has won the admira-
tion of military offices in Washing-
ton, those of the foreign war missions
as well as American officers, and it is
admitted on all hands that this offence
sive has vastly increased the power
and influence of Italy in Entente war
eaunoils.
The ofiieial despatch received by tho
Italian Embassy, describing the pre-
geese of the offensive, and particular-
ly the battle of Bainsizza, yeas as fol -
"The Bainsizza Plateau is 600 me-
tres 'between

vane Valleys, The plateau measures
10 by 16 miles, It wds attacked by
the second Italian armere which cros-
sed the Ispnzo River, using fourteen
bridges during the battle. On' the
westernside of the plateau the Ital-
ian troops overcome- the first line of
the Austrian advance, and then, while
a part of the Italian army was fight-
ing on the second Austrian line, an-
other part was advancing around the
north side to make a flank attache. The
result was the fall of the 'whole sys-
tem of defense of the plateau and
quick withdrawal of the enemy, fol-
lowed by the Italian army, crossing
the Chiapovano Valley.

THEY EST SAY
"RESTORATION"
EXTRACTS FROM BRILLIANT
SPEECH OF LLOYD GEORGE.
"Let ifs Be the Generation That Elim-
inated War From the Tragedies
of Human Life."
One of the most telling passages in
the Prime Minister's speech in Lon-
don recently was when he referred to
the German attitude towards restora-
tion.
"They talk glibly of peace," he said,
"b -b -b -but they st-st-st-stammer, they
st-st-st-stutter when they talk about
r -r -r -restoration." •
This touch of art illumined the
whole sentence wonderfully. The
Prime Minister voiced the sentiments
of the Allies, and delivered a crushing
retort to the German craving for a
make-believe peace. These were his
points:
' "We are fighting to defeat the most
dangerous and sinister conspiracy
ever plotted, against the liberties of
nations."
"The central fact is we have check -

While the plot has miscarried, the

must be no 'next time.'"
"The victory must be so complete
that national liberty will never be
challenged."
"If distrust, discontent, and dissen-
sion are sown, the nation will a, reap
defeat."
"If we sow patience, 1 confidence,
and unity, we shall garner in victory
and its fruits,"
"The nation as a whole made the
