the movements of the Meet have been

of the Abruzzl, commander In chief of
the Italian navy, now announced that
six divisions have been formed.
Kach division Is commanded by a Rear
Admiral and consists of dreadnoughts

second class cruisers, training ships and
old type war vessels, besides torpedo
boats, submarines and scout ships and a
destroyer IloUlla.
The King will visit Taranto shortly
and review the mobilized fleet. The re.
view will be most Important owing to
the trials of the new eleven mil range
guns, which will be tired against the
old war vessel Contlenza, which has been
converted Into a target.
At a Cabinet council this evening
Premier Salandra assumed the Foreign
Otllee portfolio, formerly held by the
late Marquis d Sun Gluliano, Hence
the foreign policy of Italy will not be
altered as a result of the Marquis dl
San Glullnno'H death.
It is believed here that the Marquis
Imperlall, the Italian Ambassador at
London, Is the most likely successor of
the late Marquis dl San Gluliano.
Marquis Imperial! has been Ambas

and continues:
"On September 7 the Fifth ond Sixth
French armies were heavily engaged on
our flank. The Second and Fourth Oer
man reserve corps on tho Cfurcq vigor
ously opposed the ndvanco of the
French toward tho river, but did not
provent the Sixth French army from
gaining somo headway, tho Germans
themselves suffering serious losses.
"Tho French Fifth army throw the
enemy back to tho lino on thp Petit

on them, espcclnlly about Ktontnnux,
which was carried by tho bayonet.
"Tho enemy retreated heforo our ad

severely. Our cuvnlry acted with gToat
vigor. Tho enemy on September S con
tinued his retreat northward and our
army was successfully engaged during

materially assisting the progress of tho
French armies, against whom tho enemy
was making his greatest efforts.

"On both eldes the enemy was thrown
back with very heavy loss. The First
Army Corps encountered stubborn re

who occupied a strong position on the
north bank of the Petit Morln. was dis
lodged with considerable loss. Several
machine guns and many prisoners were
captured and upward of '200 German

"The Third Army Corps also drove

"On the evening of September 14 It
was still Impossible to decide whether
the enemy was only muklng a tempo
rary halt or whether he Intended to de
fend the position. With n view of
clearing up the situation I ordered a
general advance. The action of the
First Corps on this day under the direc
tion of Sir Douglas Haig was so skil
ful, bold and decisive that he gained
the positions which alone havo enabled
me to maintain ny position for more
than three weeks of very severe light

ful Intrenching work on iboth sides can
be carried out. These batteries wero
used with considerable effect on Sep
tember 24 and following days.
"On September 23 tho action of Gen.
Castelnuu'H army, on the allied left, de
veloped considerably. This apparently
withdrew considerable forces of thn
enemy from the centre and cast. I mn
not awnro as to whether It was due
to this cause, but until the 2Cth It ap
peared as though the enemy's opposi
tion on our front was weakening. On
that day, however, there wiw very
marked renewal of activity. It com
menced with a constant, vigorous ar
tillery bombardment, which was main
tained all day, and the Germans on the
front of the First Division were ob
served to be sapping up to our lines,
trying to establish new trenchos.
Renewed counter nttacks wero deliv
ered and beaten off during the day, and
In the afternoon a well timid attack by
the First Division stopped tho enemy's
Intrenching work. Duilng tlio nlsht ot
tho 27th and on the 2Sth tho enemy
again made most determined atttmpts
to capture tho trenches of the First
Division, but without tho slightest suc
cess. Similar attacks were reported dur
ing these three days from all along the
lino of the allied front.
"It was certain that the enemy then
made one last great effort to establish
the ascendency, but that this was un
successful everywhere nnd the enemy
wus reported to have suffered heavy
loss. The samo futile nttempts were
mado all along tho front to tho evening
of tho 28th, when they died away. Hut
they were later renewed.
Gen. French bestows high praise on
the field artillery and flying corps'.

development and use of air craft In tho

communication of air craft units In 1

and counter attack occurring at all

"The fact," he adds, "thnt between
September 12 nnd the date of this des
patch tho total number of killed, '
wounded and missing reached fi61 ofll-i
cers nnd 12,800 mon proves tho se-j

A Saksological
inference
i We are not absurd
enough to assume that
a good-looking suit of
clothes is an open sesame
to success.
' But we do believe that
of two men who are
mental equals, the better-dressed
has the jump
on his companion.
11 And to wear Saks
clothes is to be better
dressed, smarter, cleaner
cut, more distinctive, fin
ished, impressive, and
fitter by far.
7 They are fluently cut
and beautifully tailored,
and chief of all, they fit
you immaculately, with
a fit that is easy and
natural and successful to
look at.
U For don't forget that
many a man cuts some
ice with good clothes who
would probably cut wood
without them.
