Tait today issued a joint appeal for the election of a Republican majority in Congress. The statement is said to be the first ever composed and signed by two former presidents of the United States. Seated at a table at the Union League Club, they prepared a statement saying in part: “We approach this subject as Americans and only as Americans. When the war broke out we would have welcomed action by the Pres-| ident which would have eliminated all questions of party politics. Instead of this, partisan lines havé been strictly drawn from the first,| j2, or other colored caskets wired to, and now the President announces that only Democrats can be entrust-| Denver for more but was unable to ed with future power ad only those Democrats who do his will.

Republican Congress Is Supreme Need of Nation both Now and Later ----““A Republican Congress will be much better qualified than one controlled by Democrats to aid the country in adopting measures need- ed for these four great tasks. “First, even as the minority party Republicans made the win- ning of the war possible by passing the original draft bill. Withost this we could not have trained and landed the two millions of m now in France. As a minority party the Republicans forced ton a reluctant President and his Secretary of War, after an injurious dela: of four months, an amended draft act without which we could not ce {wo more millions at the front next July.

All the Italian armies now have entered the great offensive against the Austrians and the Allies are advancing rapidly from Lake Garda to the Ad- riatic. Fighting activity on the western front remains at a vir- ; tual standstill. There has been : only isolated actions at several points. ; Shattered by the irresistable advance of the Italians, British and French across the Piaye the Austrians are fleeing rapidly across the plains of , eastern Venetia toward the : line ‘of the Isonzo, from which they advanced. a - years agence Americans are participating in the advance with the Italian ’ Tenth army, which already has reached the outskirts of Sacile, 15 miles east of the Piave. The total of Austrian prisoners is approaching the 40,000 mark. Apparently Austrian forces which were along the Piave ' will have great difficulty in reaching the hills east of the Isonzo. They have sep- | arated from the armies in the mountains west of the Fiave and the Allies already threaten ' their rear from the region of Vittori. , Along the lower Piave the Italian Third army has crossed, the river and taken up pursuit” in the center. The Italians have taken Oderzo, while further north they have advanced be- yond Vittorio in the direction ’ of Belluno. ‘ In retreating across the plains over 55 miles between : the Piave and the Isonzo the Austrians will rush backward as thru a narrow hailway, walled in on the north by the Carnic Alps and on the south by the Adriatic.
