Reports have been received in Milan
that Gorilla has been taken by the
Italians after a campaign of more
than four months, during which trench
after trench and hill after hill had to
be- captured and numerous powerful
batteries, protected by strong natur-
al and artificial defenses, had to be
demolished. Gorilla is considered by
the Austrians as one OF their most
formidable positions. The Importance
of the place is derived mainly from
its military position as a key to the
austrian defenses north Of the Carsc
Plateau.

Great Talent of De Reszke
Forced Down Into a Cellar

We are asked TO do a special stunt OF
sorrowing over the fate of Edouard de
Reszke, the greater singer. who has been
cleaned out of his real estate invest
ments by the war and is said to be Nv
ing in restitution in cellar, in Poland.
What hours of pleasure the de Res
IKE brothers gave in return for the
fortune of some S50O0,00O they laid
up!' says one newspaper.
All right, we're sorry.
We're sorry for any fellow wha has
to live in cellar.
We're sorry for any fellow whose real
estate gigs back on him S5,OOO.OOO
worth, or So worth.
We'd have every fellow live in house
Just as good as ours and make just as
much on his real estate as we hope to
make.
Happiness depends much on living
outside of cellars and being successful
with real estate, and we sure want
everybody to be happy.
Great musical talent is a gift from
God like the blue of the skies, the radi-
ance of the sunset, the beauty of the
flowers, the voices of birds, the grandeur
Of the mountains, the innocence Of the
child.
Such gift belongs not solely to its
possessor but somewhat to those who
have it not but can be made better and
happier by it.
Put a fence about the sunset and
charge admission to view it, and you
outrage humanity.
Build high wall around your beauti-
full flowers, and you roo the world.
Absolutely commercialize any great
special gift from God, and you are miser
and traitor to your fellow men.
How many people who have to live
destitute in cellars ever heard the beau
tiful voices of the de Reszkes which net
ted them fortune of S5.000,00O?
Shall we shed tears because de Res
IKE has made bad real estate deal,
when he has that of which practically
all the rest of the world has been
denied?
Still, we say, Poor fellow!
1t is such change from $1,000 per
night, in grand hall, and the applause
of thousands of contributing wcrshipers
to Polish cellar, without luXuries and
real estate!
