GERMAN POLITICAL OBJECT
IN ITALY PROVES FAILURE
ROME, Nov. 20.—The German plan
has failed in regard to Its political
object, says a semt-offlatal statement
Issued here today. "8trong confidence
Is felt that it will fail to accomplish
Ita military object. The military sit
uation, although difficult, is being
held In hand, while the* political sit
uation is excellent. All the living
forces of the nation, without the least
discouragement, are united for the at
tainment of the supreme aim, remain
ing at the side of the allies and re
pulsing the threats and cajoleries of
the enemy.
“ Naturally the military situation
has been overturned completely since
it has been changed from progressive
penetration of the enemy's territory,
aiming at Laibach and Trlest, into a
war of maneuver on the Venetian
plains.
‘‘The retreat caused a military cris
is which gradually Is being solved
by the assembling of troops on a pre
viously established line and by the
rushing up of Anglo-French forces.
While this is being done, fighting is
going on all the time so as io delay
as much as possible the advance of
the Austito-Germans, who desire to
take advantage of the situation.
“The Italian army, faithful to the
orders of its leaders, is fighting with
a high morale and a firm spirit. Some
time must necessarily elapse before an
equilibrium has been re-established,
but all existing conditions give con
fidence that the fate of the great bat
tle initiated twelve days ago would
be concluded in our favor.
"The Italians are confronted by an
imposing concentration of the ene
my’s troops and materials, under or
ders of the German general staff, aim
ing to obtain on our front a definite
decision in the European war by
crushing Italy militarily and also by
an Internal political upheaval.
‘Instead, an unprecedented moral
union throughout the country has
been caused, as the following exam
ples prove:
“The Catholic party voluntarily has
dropped all polemics regarding the
answer of Baron Sonnino, the Italian
foreign minister, to the papal note
and has declared Itself ready to per
form every duty Imposed by patriot
ism.
"Even the Osservatore Romano, the
papal official organ, has urged Catho
lics fully to accomplish their civic
ddty. t
“The confederation of workmen, re
presenting the whole class, has pub
lished a manifesto urging that the mo
ther country be supported by every
means.”

in the houae of common* yesterday
to a peace motion proposed by H. B,
Leesmlth, liberal memhpr for North
ampton, declared:
"The alms for which Great Brit
ain entered the war were not and are
not either imperialistic of vindictive,

double purpose of the emancipation
and security of Europe.”
Mr. Balfour asked the house to
show by an overwhelming majority |
that: "We believe in the cause in
which we a'fe struggling and which we
.know we can bring to a successful
termination. • • • Great as are the
sacrifices already made, we are ready
to continue them and continue them
indefinitely, until the great righteous
and unselfish objects we have in
view are finally secured.”

the exchequer, amid loud cheers, mov
ed closure, which was carried, 282
to 33.
Mr. Leesmlth’s motion was then

GERMANY'S MAN POWER
ALMOST EXHAUSTED
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 20.—
Cable reports reaching here from
Switzerland say Germany has reach
ed the crisis so far as her man power
is concerned. For tnree years, accord
ing to these dispatches, Germany has
lost on an average of 1,200,000 men
annually and this number will at
least be equalled in 1918. It is con
tended that to continue the war on
the same scale for another year the
Germans must have at their com
mand a reserve of at least two mil
lion men, whereas they actually will
have a reserve of only one and one
half million, including youths of the
class of 1920.
