Sheesley and Tloffer & Garman, grain dealers who have brought suit against the city for payment of seed hills, to-day petitioned the court to list the cases for argument because the city has not tiled an affidavit of defense.

If this should prove true the Ta'gllamento rivet seems to offer General Cadorna his first defensive lino unless his armies stiffen greatly and hold the invaders within a few miles of their present positions. Expect Retirement Operations carried out by the Bel gians and French looking toward the elimination of Houthoist forest north of Ypres, are progressing favorably. The entire Merckem peninsula, south of Dlxmude, has been captured by allied troops who have also taken Merckem and several other villages west of the forest. The British hold the southern side of the forest and a continuation of the Belgo-Freneh ad vance would make the German po sition untenable. A German retirement between Warneton and Dixmude to straighten out the lino and eliminate the Ypres (salient is not unlooked for in German military circlies. One leading Ger man critic. Major Moraht, says the front is untenable: and that the Ger mans will have to retire to a new line. Such a line probably would run through Menin to Houlers, to Thourout and thence to the sea. GermnuN Withdraw On the northern Russian front the Germans have extended their with drawal movement to Include the force that recently was landed on the Wei ll <>r peninsula after the capture of Oesel and Moon island at the en trance to the Gulf of Riga. This landing was viewed at the time as a threat against Ileval, the Russian naval base on the Gulf of Finland and as a possible prelude to even more extensive land operations by the Germans in the direction of Pet rosrad. The withdrawal leaves the Germans without a foothold on the Ksthonian coast, attempts by them to follow up the original landing by putting troops ashore at points both north and south of the peninsula having failed ac cording to the Russian reports. There has been a somewhat prevalent as sumption, however, that there was never anv intention by the Germans to push their Riga operations much hevond the naval stage this fall, the view being that the threat against the gulf of Finland may well have been a diversion for political effect in Russia or to distract attention from operations in preparation else where. Artillery Fight ItiiKe The artillery battle is being con tinued in Flanders and sections of the Aisne front and the Verdun region. In the last named the Germans at tacked spiritedly last night between Chaume wood and Bezonvaux, east of the Meuse. and won something more than 500 vards of advanced trenches. The French in an immediate counter attack recaptured the major portion of the lost ground. Italian Second Army Quit Without Fight Rome, Oct. 2 9.—Units of the Italian second army surrendered or retreated without fighting, permit ting the Austro-German forces to break the Italian left wing on the Julian front and invade Italy, says the official report. The Italians now aro retreating In accordance with the plan prepared. It is estimated unofficially that the Italians are opposed on the front of the Austro-German attack by forces four times their number. The War Office announcement fol lows: "The failure to resist on the part I of some units forming our second army, which In cowardice retired without fighting or surrendering to the enemy, allowed the Austro-Ger man forces to break into our !eft wing on the Julian front. The valiant efforts of other troops did not en able them to prevent the enemy from advancing into the sacred soil of our fatherland. We now are with drawing our line according to the plan prepared. All stores and depots ir. the evacuated places were de stroyed. "The record of many memorable battles fought with success by our bravo soldiers during two and one half years of war Is sufficient to as •rurc. the Commander-in-Chief that the army to which the honor and safety of the country are confided will know how to fulfill its duty." Italian War OHice Amends Version of Rout i ™.V .■',**!. dated Press Rome, Sunday, Oct. 28.—The Ital-I ian war office has issued an amended j version of the official statement on | operations issued early to-day. As amended the first sentence of the announcement reads: "The violence of the attack and the failure to resist on the part of some units forming our second army allowed the Austro-German forces to break Into our left wing on the Julian front." "This version eliminates the RAfWOSBtmO SSPfcTELEe-SCVMt words 'which in cowardice retired without fighting or surrendering to the enemy.' " Great Britain and France Must Go to Aid of Italians By .Associated Press London, Oct. 29. —That Great Bri tain and France must go promptly to Italy's help is the view expressed by several morning newspapers. The Times which prints a statement im plying knowledge that such help is contemplated, says editorially: "Our word to the people of Italy is to stand firm for help will surely come • * Italy must not and will not be deprived of the fruits of the ultimate victory for which she baa battled so long and so ardu ously.v * * * In the truest sense the Isonzo is our front as much as the Somme and now that it has col lapsed we must do our utmost with out delay to repair it. There is no need for alarm but there is the ut most need tor promptitude and broadness of vision." While all the newspapers recognize the gravity of Italy's perils, strong confidence is epressed in General Cadorna and the Italian army with the conviction that they ultimately will emerge victorious. Italian per severance and success of the past are recalled with warm admiration and the weakness of some links in the de fensive chain is condoned. Austria Sees Early Peace in Italian Front Drive By Associated Press Zurich, Oct. 29.—Austrian hopes of a "speedy and honorable peace," have been raised by the Austro-Ger man success on the Italian front, the president of the Reichstag said in an address to the deputies, as quoted in Vienna dispatches. He admitted there had been great anxiety in re gard to Triest which had now been removed. The report of the proceedings in parliament adds that the German Polish deputies arose and cheered the emperor and the army, implying that the Czechs did not Join the dem onstration. CHAKI.EH .

The boys who are enduring the hell of the trenches for our sake cannot hold out if 111 fed. The situation which we have to face right now in this food pledge week is obvious.
