British Score Heavily At Sea, Destroying Twelve German Vessels

  NEW YORK, Nov. 3 - The Associated Press today summarizes its dispatches from the war fronts as follows:

  Standing on the line of the Tagliamento, General Cadorna has so far been able to hold intact his north and south front along the river, despite several attempts by the Austro-German invaders of northern Italy to effect a crossing.

  It is pointed out that the new Italian front, although the enforced retirement to it was marked by heavy losses in men and material, affords the strategic advantage of being straighter and shorter than the old line, and therefore theoretically is easier to defend.

Flanking Thrust Possible Menace.

  With the known strong concentration of Austrian and German forces against the Italians, however, there exists the menace to this line of a flanking thrust from the north.  Close attention, therefore, is being paid to the Trentino front, whence a heavy blow is not an unlikely development, provided the Teutonic intention is to pursue the campaign in Italy beyond the stage already reached.

  Berlin announces the completion by the Germans of the withdrawal of their line from the Chemin-des-Dames plateau.  the Paris account of the movement shows the German retirement to have extended along a 13 mile front from the Oise-Aisne canal to Corbeny.  The crown prince withdrew his lines a maximum distance of a mile to the north

  With Mr. Leonard was the following array of enthusiastic card dealers: Mrs. Anna J. Erickson, president, and Mrs. D. Claw, vice president of the New Orleans local, and Mrs. L. Elliott, State organizer  of the Union Label League; E. H. Stafford, Joseph Zimmerman and D. Singerman, of the Retail Clerks' Association; Mrs. E. J.
