FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

“WILL FLY TO ITALY’S AID.” GERMANY WORN TO THE BREAKING POINT. Received November 2. 8.65 a.in. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Air Grasty, cabling from Paris, states t that ho interviewed the Premier, M. Pain- ■ love, who said: “France and England will - fly to Italy’s aid by every means. They were impelled not only by military interest, but in recognition of their valiant Ally’s voluntary aid. The recent French offensive indicates Franco’s sustained fighting power and her reserve force after three years of war. Never since the battle of . the Marne lias there been a minute when Franco was not equal to every obligation - imposed on her by the war. Her burdens are- heavy, but not beyond her strength. America’s participation gives the Allies an incalculable fresh moral and material re- • serves to hurl against an enemy already ' worn to the breaking point. There will ► ho neither halt nor parley until German 1: brute force is shattered and world terror- ■ I Ism ended. Germany may make spcciacul : Jar moves in far-off temporarily indeien- • siblo areas, but we arc landing solid blows • on the western front. Germany cannot ■ modify Hie inevitable issue of t his form id - able war. Germany will be beaten and ■ our Allies will write the terms of peace. There is no other road to peace except the Allies’ victory.”
