SIGNIFICANCE OF TEUTON OPERATIONS ON ISONZO By ADALBERTO CAPORALE The outstanding features of tht present m Irive against the Italian lines on the Isonzo ire the participation of German troops In the operation and the fnct that the Ger Bin staff has taken the direction of the elenalve, Just as was done In the cases o Bwsla and Rumania What Is the pui poie of this paitjclpatlon, from which tho Miser had ostensibly abstained until now? And above all what Is the objective toward which the Austro-Germans are now ttrlvlng, at the ciid of the favorable season tnd when comparatively little time Is left t military operations of some importance? while It Is entirely too early to attempt to form an ouinlon on events which file lust ileglnnlng to develop, it Is, however, peimis- . 10 mane lew considerations in oidti to explain a situation not clearea up l tte official bulletins.

Oct 27 Turkish Hoops on the Tigtls River refused battle with British advanced lines, nn official report from the. Mesopotamlan expedition declared today Tho Turks had urtMinced on both sides of the river toward Samarra. The rtrltlsh sallied forth. Immediately on sighting them the Turks retreated hastily, without fight ing seeking to put Italy out of the game In order to bo able to throw all the weight Ul "a forces and that of the Austrian against tho Franco-British and tho Ameri cans If this, is really the purpose ot the Ger man staff, a new drive Is to be expected shortly, as soon as General Cadorna will hav concentrated his forces on the Isonzo against what seems now to be the only front of attack Italy can be seriously threatened only by an Irruption of the enemy In force from the Trentlno; that Is, by a renewnl on a greater scale, and con siderably modified, of Von Hoetzcndorff's plans It Von Hlndcnburg means to obtain a decision on the Italian front, he will cer tainly follow the same strategy h applied to tho operations against Rumania and spread his alternating blow from the Slel vie to the Adriatic Sea. " The only question is, has he sufficient forces with which to repeat his maneuver against an enemy who Is neither weak nor Inexperienced, who Is led by an able, dar ing and prudent chief? And nnother ques tion Is, When will he launch his nttack on a front which will shortly be rendered Im practicable by the snow? It Is conceivable that, If these are the plans of tho German start. General Cadorna Is aware of the sit uation and has taken ills measures against the menace A concentration of great forces In the Trento hasin requires time, for transportation facilities are ey scarce In the Trentlno and It could not have escaped the vigilance of the Italians American Troops Now in French Trenches Continued from Piute One stay until the war Is over Tlilsr'was the Interpretation of the report that the troops nre undergoing the finishing touches of their training. It was declared at the Wnr De partment that the men will not leave the trenches from now on. They will stay at their pots during the ontlre winter, and It Is believed that American forces will be used In large number on the Krench front. TRAINING WOBIC HASTENED There Is every indication In the report. It is declared, that training of the Amer ican troops Is being hastened It Is even stated on good authority that Americans will be sent to the trenches to hold the French posts while large re-enforcements of French soldiers are sent to aid Italy In her titanic battle ngalnst the combined Austro Clerman forces The news of this afternoon sent tho sale of Liberty Bonds at street bureaus here soaring.
