Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Nov. 29.--A visit made-to-day to the fighting ground at Monte Tomba, Monte Monfenera and other mountains in the fighting zone in the north, and then to the Piave line, where it joins the mountain front, afforded opportunity to see this central point of the present huge struggle, and obtain from of- ficers at several division and brigade headquarters direct information in regard to the condition of affairs. : General Garibaldi, commander of the famous Alpine Brigade, de- | clared the fighting had shown that the Italian troops could hold the | line' beyond any question. Speaking of the spirit of his men, he added: "If thé enemy ever does get past, owing to superior generalship or superior strength of guns, it will be only over the dead bodies of our troops, for they are determined never to yield." The roads leading to the battle front showed increasing masses of troops being brought up for concentration on the threatened line. Much artillery was coming in.

HUGE WAR FINANCING Of Loans of Great Britain Far in Ex- cess of Seven Billions. New York, Nov. 29-- Latest figures at hand show that England has since the war began loaned $7,123.000,000 to its allies, including $777,000,000 to its own dominions. The total ad- vanced since April was $1,414,000,- 000. . The United States, in the seven months since it entered the war, has advanced a total of $3,861,400, 000 to its allies. This is less than England's total, but it is almost 55 per cent of the advance made by Eng- land in three years and three months of war, and it was made in less than one-fifth the time.
