Paris. Nov. 0. France is alreay discussing a project for a gteat war memorial, in which the Allies will be invited to loin, to keep ever fresli for the generations to come the courage nf the millions who have suffered and sacrificed their lives for the worlds freedom. The jjlnns to this end have BdTaiicerl so !athat thsv JVeuch Oqv ernment has virtually decided upoil the form of the memorial, which will be as idle and greatly conceived as it is unique. From Alsace to tne neigian const there runs a strip of country on which Hie war has concentrated Its worst horrors. Through the center or tuts strln of country untl extending lor n distance of four hundred miles, it has iuw.it ileeidcd to construct a sacred roan bordered on each side by banns or forest trees, a ribbon of white In a setting of green. Nothing of the wreckage or war win ,.. eh, i n ced. The dead village will sloop under their mounds of shattered masonry.

As a Result of Many Fires Along the Water Front of Coast Cities. (Hy The Associated Press) New York. Nov. (I.

Such mi order would force Germans out of the Atlantic coast Stales, ami will affect thousands of Germans, who have lived in big German quarters like New York, for years. No Orders Given.

Man clous Vault Situated In Basement of Treasury Building. Washington, D. C, Nov. 0. Now that I'ncle Saiu is doitig his financial figuring in billions ami handling more money every few weeks tlian It was bis custom to handle In an entire year liefore the war, some curiosity may 1 felt as to. where be keeps his money bags. Suffice it to say that the money is ierfectly safe, for the Treasury De partment of the I'nited States, in whose keeping It Is. possesses th" strongest and most wonderful money vault in the world. It Is used ex clusively for strong bank-notes, and is capable of holding SOO,000,000 in pa er money. The marvelous vault is situated In the basement of the Treasury Building. and is fifteen feet square. Its walls are absolutely impregnable, for they are lined with Bessemer steel plates six Inches in thickness, and these are securely fastened by means of huge screws and lsilts to a framework of steel which is built into the solid masonry. All the pigeon-holes, nearly :t(l.0(HI in ntimlier. are of steel, and there is not a scrap of infiamahle ma terial in the furnishings of the vault. The precaution taken to protect the vault are very elaborate. It can only lie entered through a maze of heavily barred sieel doors, each of which is charged with electricity. Only throe officials are permitted to enter this "Aliltlin's Cave." anil only these in dividuals know how to shut off the strong electric current. Two siieoial guards, who for years have done sentry duty ovr the bank note, stand day and night at the first door. Even if these trusty servants of the Government should be overcome, the bank robbers would have a speedy end on reaching tho second door, which is charged with an electric current sufficient to kill fifty burglars simul taneously. There are duplicate locks on the whole construction, is such that nothing hut dynamite or an earth quake would move it. It is claimed that the system tf guards at the Treasury Building is the most complete ever devised. About seventy watchmen are employed, and (hey work in three reliefs, patrolling the entire building at all hours of the day and night. In the office of the captain of the watch are recording instruments, to which each watchman must send an automatic report once every half-hour while on duty. The captain's office is in direct communica tion with pi dice headquarters, and In (he event of an emergency he could in stantly summon a squadron of palice. Stacked in the various parts or tne liiiildinir are sufficient weapons to arm over 1.000 men, with quantities of ammunition. The interior of the build I ii Is, i honeycombed with wires to fneiliriire oiiick communication, and should any foolhardy robber attemp' to intimidate the treasurer or other official, the official wuld only have to press a button under his hand to bring an armed force to his assistance in less than thirty ttconds.

These momentous events mean an Italian withdrawal along the entire front as far west as the edge of the Trentino district. Colbricon is north east of the Austrian border, about 40 miles northeast of Trentino, while the Soela valley lies almost In a direct line north from I'dine. The whole Italian line, apparently Is being drawn back in the direction of the I'iave. which runs approximately -'.) miles west of the Tagliameuto, and cuts in a reasonably straight course, southwest, across the nock of the Ital ian territory some seventeen miles east of Venice, on the Adriatic, to the Aus trian bonier. This would give a line a little more than sixty miles in length, compared ' with tlie line of approximately 160 miles, that existetl before the Isonzo retreat began. News dispatches from tlie Italian front this morning indicated that Cadorna was preparetl to fall back on a nearlino after having made u stand on the Tagliamento to retard tho enemy's advance. The renewal of the British offensive in Flanders ushered in by the inten sive bombardment, reported yesterday, came early this morning in attack by field Marshal Haig's farces in the vici nity Tf Passchendaele. The British wedge reaches Its apex in the Pass chendaele area. News dispatches from the British headquarters filed not long after an attack was under full headway re ported solitl sueeess for the thrust. The Canadians were In the thick of the fight, and are reported to have pushed to a point 100 yards beyond Pass. Other advances were indicated to the north. Italy's armies along the Tagliamento are menaced hy another Austro-Ger-man stroke, similar to the one which caused the great retreat from tne Isonzo line. The river has been crossed and an advance in force by invaders from Pinzano, the pluce of crossing, southward, would pluce the Italian army along the Tagliamento in almost the same position from wnicu u re treated on the Isonzo. There are indicatioins that the cros sing which wus made where the river narrows between hills, was not in great force and that the Austro-Germans have not yet been able to advance from the river bank. The crossing of the Taifliameiito. however, breaks Italy's mastery of the western hank, unless General Cadorna's men can drive tne Tent ions back again. West of the Tagliamento around Pinzano tlie ground is not cut up by the many small streams and canals, as it is further south, and the aim of the German staff may be to drive a wedge from Pinzano southwest toward the river Linvenza in the hope of cut ting off the Italian right wing.
