FRANCE, Sept 27.
Wry day for the" hvjt fortnight I hare
MM4 an 0jd chateau, gjay as a rainy stfy.
Sp an outpn In architecture" tjiat txs-
;s tne nrreejitn century. It standi high
nui ana commands tho cquntry ror
about a" certain American dlvlalnnnl
luarteVa not far from where I wrlto.
mornln? I had nut ftnllfitfiri anrttnan
wMHHieur rnaKo a actour that I might visit
thW. ancient house at closer range. Wo
wtM, up a winding road typically French
H, find Us end at tho chateau Itself. It
was, closed and quite desorted, without even
the sign of a caretaker. I don't doubt that
t could very easily find Its history and
fcvayhap the present owner's permission to
ytalt its Interior, but It seems to mo as I
think of It after nn hour's close Inspection,
met following a constant dally vision of It!
Majesty at a distance, that I can tell Its
ale. And I hope In something of an
h)tlmacy of ownership, for do wo not each
and all own birthright in the things that
touch us closely, be they paintings or trees
or chateaus of Iho fifteenth century?
It- was basking In the morning sun, this
M chateau, every, window barred and the
weather-scarred gold of a crest over tho
atranco glittering still. Upon otio side
weie raagnlflcont forests and beyond a roll
ing plain of recently harvested land. In
tho ancient garden beforo were giant nn
trlmraed bos trees and old bushe3 of the
Hlaci Beyond them I could see a Held far
down In the va)lcy. a field rich In yellow
of the mustard and red of tho poppy. It
was, all rarely beautiful and amid a great
yeaco, nesplte that nearby khakl-clad
ftammecs were learning to kill.
"It's a long, long journey to tho days you
were, built, my chateau upon tho hill! And
the changes that, have como to Franco have
been many since your old doors were llrst
opened to the habitation of man. To
Imagine them all would tako great space.
May I choose a few?
First tho days of romance, of powdered
wlga and the sedan chair, in which glided
lackles carried ray- lady up and down your
low, broad Btalrs. And then the days when
Kings visited you, their men at arms rid
ing by their sides, tho days of feathered
fcats and the quick sword. And In courso
at time the revolution, when your master
took refuge within your portals from the
guillotine that later carried his life away
..And t!ien"fiVdown tho lino of time to
1870, whentho Prfosco. then as now the
Bdche, ruthlessly took you for a barracks
and'made an officers' shambles of you. And
then still further down the line to tho days
. et prosperous peaco ere 1914, when thoso
to whom -.you came by inheritance found
within your wall a dreamy homo amid
the hills. All tbeae things, and many more
were yourrpTtlon; and with them nil tho
Vicissitudes of mankind, tho Joys and sor
rows, the births, and deaths that are human
portion.
You stand upon your hill, solid and
trong.. majestic and beautiful, a part of
the Franco, that men have given their lives
to save from barbarian invasion, as much
as the land about you you are a part of
that which Franco spells and it Is no
mall part of what you and she stand for
that American youth havo crossed tho sea
to defend; that khakl-clad Sammees aro
training within but llttlo distanco of your
gates. For you typify tho home, tho tlo
that binds, the true starting point from
Which civilization begins, and tho yantngo
ground from which civilization vourd fall"
If tlje barbarian could havo his evil way.
Many of your counterpart has Iio destroyed
these last three years, destroyed ruthlessly
end brutally vas Jio has razed fruit trees,
poisoned weljs, and, desecrated churches. It
-was written that you should be erected
Within that consecrated part of France
where the Bocho has not found long resting
place and that In consequence your ancient
Mils should remain clean of his evil con
tact. With thq 'sweet scent of the nearby for
est In my nostrils and tho stillness of that
forest In my ears, I' seem to have pass In
review before me all your ancient history,
to have the present fall away from me,
the war and preparations for war an im
possibility, the trenches of practice and
tho trenches of blood that I havo seen but
h myth, nnd';that only you, my chateau
upon -the hill, are real in a world of gen
tleness, and peace, and the September morn

ROME. Oct. 31.
PREMIER ORLANDO, who wns
formally Inducted into office suc
ceeding Paolo Bosclll today, tele
graphed General Cadorna that tho
Italian peoplo wero united In faith
and hope in the army.
"Italians, profiting by their coun
try's invasion, havo composed their
internal dissentlons, enhancing their
energies and their unshakablo deter
mination," ho asserted. "As tho
people hailed tho army when vic
torious, they now draw closer to it
in its hour of adversity."
and In addition Is a "natural barrier against
invasion from tho north." Tho defensive
works on this lino 'extend across country
for many miles. Whllo the second and
third armies have been retreating threo
other armies, the bulk of tho nation's re
serves, havo been strengthening tho Taglla-
mento defenses, official cables state.
Cadorna Is executing a "masterly re
treat," the cable 6ays. Southeast of Udlne,
which has been sacrificed, the Italian third
army fa withdrawing slowly and, unless
overwhelmed by unexpected numbers of tho
enemy, may bo nblo to execute n flanking
movement designed to save much territory
At the northernmost corner of tho tri
angular battleground, more than 100 miles
from the Adriatic, lies Polccken In tho
Carnlc Alps, the pivotal point of tho entire
strategic plan of Von Mackensen nnd Ca
dornn. If the Italian Fourth army Is able
to hold tho path from this point tho Taglla
mento line' will bo safo for Cadorna. If
tho path Is lost to tho Italians, Von Mack
ensen will bo nblo to execute a flanking
movement and turn tho entire northern
wing of the Italian army. This would force
Cadorna to retreat Miuthward to tho l'iavc
River Italy's second natural lino of de
fense. Important towns like I'almanova, Ora
dlsca nnd Ccrvlgnano will be sacrificed like
pawns by Cadorna.
General Corsl, military critic of the Home
Trlbuna, Is optimistic about Cadorna's de
cision to mnko a stand at Tagllamento.
The Trlbuna Insists tho forthcoming battle
there will bo tho deciding struggle of tho
war.
"For the third time," says this paper,
"Italy has been called on to save Europe
from the Austro-Germans, who are making
this supremo effort to savo Austria and
Germany from the terror of a fourth war
winter."
With tho nrrlval of coal from this coun
try, the Italian munition factories, many
of which have been cither Idle or greater
Incapacitated through lack of fuel, will be
ablo to resume operations. The belief hero
now Is that If Cadorna can check Von Mack
ensen for a week at tho Tagllamento the
crisis will havo been successfully passed
and re-enforcements of Allied troops, muni
tions and other supplies will turn the tide.
reiterated yesterday the unshakable faith
of the great city of Lomlnrdy in the army
and today has once mora confirmed t In a
solemn mass-meeting. At Itomo the peoplo
have greeted our heroic king with great
acclamation. The political parties of every
shade have shaken hands, forgetting all
their differences nnd frnterntzlng In tho
holy name oi tho fatherland.
"Both country nnd nrmy have tho firm
ana unanimous will to fight and win.
"To both country and nrmy In these days
of trials, tho attachment of tho great
coloiMt of America their communion of
alms and Ideals, their faith In tho high
destinies of the fatherland will be Of great
est help and assistance."

LONDON, Oct. 31.
The eyes of tho world nro turned today
on the Venetian plains in Italy, centering
on tho Tagllamento Itlver, where there Is
ocry reason to believe tho greatest battle
In the history of the war soon will be
fought.
Tho Teutonic nrmy, already in possession
of Udlne, today continued Its march toward
the river. Another German movement Is on
tho north, whero Von Bulow's forces havo
almost reached tho Upper Tagllamento.
Along tho Tagllamento and not fur from
Udlne General Cadorn's forces aro slowly
retreating. Burning their bridges behind
them, exercising n. rear guard check to
U'o enemy and fording tho swollen stream
whereer possible, tho retreat IS slow but
certain.
In the meantime, British and French as
sistance Is being hurried to tho sceno of
the Impeding conflict.
The political effect of the enemy drive
In Italy is rapidly becoming apparent.
Tho military viewpoint brings out the de
termination to stand firm and save Italy.
"Not a single whisper reached London
that re-enforcements were needed In Italy
to repel a possible Invasion," the Globo
declared today in an editorial, deprecat
ing accusations that England and France
did not heed Italian warnings.
"None doubted the solidarity of the Ital
ian military situation or questioned the
ability of the Italians to hold their recent
gains," tho newspaper declared.
"ITALY IN FIGHT TO WIN,"
CHEERING MESSAGE OF
AMBASSADOR TO U. S.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.
"Italy nnd its great army aro in tho light
to win and aro sure of victory." This cheer
ing message today was sent to the Italians
throughout tho United States by Count V.
Macchl dl Cellere, tho Italian Ambassador.
Tho Ambassador's statement was mado be
cause tho Italians throughout tho country
have sent him assurances of their strong
faith In tho mother country and they
wanted to know whero Italy stood In tho
present crisis. "I wish to answer publicly
theso moving manifestations of patriotism,"
said the Ambassador.
"The news from Italy Is that the Austro
German coalition has attacked our army
with overpowering force, both In men and
artillery, and that tho Italian troops, ful
filling faithfully nnd bravely tho directions
of the supreme command, aro stemming
tho advanco of tho enemy. The country Is
upholding tho army with calm determina
tion. From our Allies wo receive the sup
port of their solidarity ani of their arms.
"If the enemy, in his first rush, has suc
ceeded in overcoming a few units of our
army, lnnumcrablo deeds of valor wero ac
complished. When particulars shall be
known, our country will find in them reason
to rejoice. It was only yesterday that a
glorious advance was accomplished. The
enemy coalition, seriously endangered by
our success, has concentrated in a supreme
.effort all his forces on the Italian front.
"Tho heroism of our soldiers nnd officers
and the sagacity of the command, thanks to
which we went so far in the direction of
Lelbach as to threaten Austria and the
Germanlo coalition, aro sure tokens that In
new, glorious enterprises the Italian army
will Insure the present and future safety
of the country and bring about the triumph
of the great Ideals for which It fights to
gether with the whole civilized world.

German troops failed to make any further
counter-attacks against newly gained Brit
ish positions on tho Passchendaele rldgo last
night. Field Marshal Halg reported today.
There was, however, considerable enemy ar
tillery flro directed against tho advanced
British lines.
In yesterday's renewed drive cast of
Tprcs, the British not only took Passchen
daele, near the tip of the rldgo over which
they have fought for moro than n month,
but passed through the vlllago nnd be
yond to Goebcrg, adjoining on tho north.
Altogether, tho advance for tho day was
more than half n mile.
Berlin admits that Passchendaele was lost
by tho Germans, but assorts It was recap
tured. Tho British seem to be driving
steadily toward lloulcrs, their next objec
tive, about five miles away and on the
direct line of operations.
On the Alsne, near Cerny, the French
repulsed a German attack Monday night.
There was lively artillery Ightlng at several
points along tho French line.
