ITALIAN ARMY FALLS BACK TO LIVENZA RIVER Cadorna Withdraws to Stream Between Taglia- mento and Piave RETREAT IN "GOOD ORDER" BERLIN, Nov. 7. "In the mountains and also on the Venetian plain the pursuit is continu ing," tho War Office declared today. "Thousands have been taken prisoner." noMi:. Nov. 7. Withdrawal of tho Italian line to tho Llvonza River In "good order" was formal ly announced by tho War Ofllco today. To tho north, tho retreat was said to have been protected by "covering units'' and to tho south by adequate rear guards. Enemy bridges over the Tagllamento wero bombed, tho stntcment said. Tho retreating army Is stubbornly con testing every foot of ground. Tho Italian cavalry, covering tho rear pt tho retreajt, Is matching Its skill and experience against overwhelming odds. The cavalry is suc ceeding in tho Italian plan a play for time. Tho LIvcnza Illvcr parallels the course of tho River Plave through most or its course at an average distance of ten miles. It is approximately twcnty-tlvo miles from tho Tngllamento Illvcr and runs from the Alps to the sea. There hae been no In dications heretofore that Cadorna would attempt to make a stand before the Plave In the event of being forced to abandon tho Tagllamento line. It Is posslblo the Llvenza Is merely a preliminary defense po sition to the Piave. Cadorna has established his new defense line, according to a dispatch from Italian headquarters. " BERLIN, via London, Nov. 7. Pursuit of the retreating Itnllans is progressing rapidly since tho Teutonic forces have crossed the Tngllamento Illver along the entire front of 1B0 miles, according to General Headquarters reports. The lino of retreat extends from the Alps to the sea, or. 100 miles from tho Fella .Valley to the Trenllno border. . ,Tho statement says: "Tho inllltaryoperaUons which secured a crossing at the mountain edge by a ar man and Austro-Hungarlan division, which wus eager to advance, drove u wedge Into tho naturally strong defensive positions of tlie enemy on the western bank of tho river. The rapid widening of the bridgehead thus gained by successful fighting compelled the enemy to evacuate tho whole river lino td the Adriatic coast. Up tho river to the Fella Valley Italian brigades still held out yesterday. "The pressure of our advance has also compelled the Italians to give up their mountain front. From the Fella Valley to tho Col Brlcon. north of the Huguna Valley, on a width of inoro than 1G0 kilometers (ninety-four miles), the Italians havo had to give up zones of defense which thoy havo consolidated for years past, and aro in retreat. f SOLDIERS' VOTES KEPT UNDER COVER Official Count Likely to Be First Real Announce ment of Figures HEAVILY AGAINST VARES The vote of the Philadelphia soldiers whd are now in training camps which may change the result of the city election Into . . - ,, m.n XTAAtlnir nnrtv a victory ior me ..un.. ..-.., , ticket, probably will not be made public until itvIs officially counted in Common Pleas Court the latter part of the month. According to Solomon Rains, superln tendent of elections In the office of Oie Pro thonotary of the Courts, the court will not sit to begin the official count until the 23d of this month. Rains said he has received some of the ballot boxes from the camps arid "expects more soon." The boxes can not be opened, he said, except under order from the court. The special commissioners appointed by Governor Brumbaugh to go to Camp Meade, Camp Hancock, Fort Oglethorpe, Lamp Greenleaf, Camp Wlssahlckon and the other cantonments where the Philadelphlans are preparing to go to France, are returning to Philadelphia today, and locking up the bal lots and their books in the vaults at City Hall. They may not be opened until they are produced In court. ' Scattering returns from all of the campB, however, indicate that the men who have donned the blue and the olive drab cast a heavy voto against the Vare-Smlth ticket The mafiagers of both parties estimate the total soldier vote at 16,000 to 18,000, but as yet only about 2000 havo been returned. It also became known today that thtf soldiers from Philadelphia did not vote for Councllmen, although the soldiers from other cities voted for ward candidates.

Select Council, thirty-two of tho forty-eight selectmen elected Vares, 18; Town Meeting party, 14. Common Council, the entire body of ninety-seven elected Vares, 49; Town Meeting party, 48. With tho "hold-overs" in Select Council, the municipal legislature now lines up as follows: Select Council Vares, 28; Town Meeting party, 20. Select and Common Councils com bined Vnrcs, 77; Town Meeting party, 68. COUNCILS RULE OF TWO-THIRDS LOST TO VARES Line-up in Select Now 28 to 20 Common, 49 to 48 CAN'T RULE FINANCES Tho Vares lost their two-thirds control of City Councils in tho city election. The Town Meeting party cut Into their control of that body to such an extent that tho city Administration barely has a majority In the new municipal legislature. The Vares were able to elect only eight een of the thirty-two candidates for Select Council, whllo the Town Meeting party elected fourteen. In Common Council an entirely new body of nlnety-secn members was elected. The Vares elected forty-nine to forty-eight Town Sleotlng party members. Tho new line-up In City Councils, there fore, will give tho Vares twenty-eight In Select, Including the "hold-overs," who will not como up for te-electlon until two years hence, and tlfe anti-Vare-Smlth coalition twenty members. In the copib)oc4lp?lCX..and Common Councils tho Vares hae a bare majority. They control seventy-secn members of both branches, while sixty-eight members can be counted upon tc oppose their domination of Councils. CANT DICTATE FINANCES The loss of tho two-thirds majority, by tho Vares means that the downtown lead ers will not be ablo to arbitrarily control the city's finances, ns it requires a two thirds oto of both branches to pass tho appropriation hills. The councllmanir ilrfory of the Town Meeting party was a surprise to the Vares.
