Italian BOmbardment
Fails, Vienna Says

Vicnna. June = (yia London. The
Austro-Nuugar.ap War Oaicc to-day
issued the following statement:
ain tre Italian war theatre al. the
,,rdcrt.kirrs Of the enemy have been
unsuccessful. The bombardment Of the
plateau Of Layaroune, Folgara and the
Curuth.Au Barriers, with "a great eN-
pcnditurc of ammunition, has caused
no material damage TO our fortified
tious. 10 important fighting has taken
place on the frontiers Of Tyrol or Ca
rinthin. On the coastal frontier an
enemy attack on the ridge was repulsed
with heavy Italian losses"
Another official announcement says;
"Thc result Of the bombardmeut Of
Pola by Italian airships IS incorrectly
stated In the communication issued by
the Italian Admiralty -Four bombs
were exploded. but the damage was
very slight 80 FIRE broke out In the

THE artillery fire Of the enemy is
frightful, especially that of the heavy
guns. We can hear the projectiles Of
this artillery coming slowly through
the air Every man is watchful and
tense, and he wonders where this par
ticular she'll is going to fall. The par
apet trembes, and cloud Of earth and
pieces of she'll rain down on US. How
long must we remain in this rat trap?
I believe now that my nerves are gone.
The fire Of the enemy has attained It's
greatest violence. Indescribable"--
Here the tragic notes OF Captain
Sicvert come TO an end.
This diary, says the eyewitness, in
dicates the great success Of the
French artillery and infantry. At the
same time it shows the superhuman
efforts Germany is obliged to demand
Of its army, and this even before the
participation of Italy, which, on a new
front, will hereafter take part in the
siege Of German and Austrian fort
resses.'

to the influence of the slow days which
closed the previous week, but the mid

carried the volume of business UP and
the dull period was closed.
The summer season, whose end Is
regarded by real estate men as Sep
TENDER l. this year was the best in
many years. business having kept up
in surprising manner. Vacation periods
were curtailed by a large number of
realty operators and these will seek
TO slip in a few days of hunting within
the next few weeks to make up for lost
recreation time
Realty men and builders are opti-
mistic. There is every indication of Il
splendid fail and winter business,
Building men are encouraged by the

What Walsh Has Done.

The work OF Chairman Walsh, OF
the Industrial Relations Commission is
appraised thus by The New Republic.
LAS an agitator he must be judged.
1t Is waste of words to discuss mis-
work for any other point of view. for
he has never wanted TO have any
other point of view. How good m asi-
tator has ne been?
He has dramatized great wrongs.
he has displayed to the public the in
difference of great financiers. he has
shown the poverty of intention among
the rich. He has lowered their pres
tige by exhibiting their irrespons! 5ility.
At the same time he has given an alto
gether new kind OF hearing to Ia Dor,
q respect which il has probably never
before had from any government: or
gan. Though conservative people will
be surprised to hear IT, Mr.. Walsh mas
in all probability done a great deal to
re-esta blish the confidence of labor
In the promises Of political action. He
has also done much to stiffen the la
Dor movement and conserve it against
the despair of the general reaction.
"One. other effect his work has had.
BY its crudity of attack It has drawn
much loose sympathy to the rulers OF
industry. but. worst of all. 1t has
probably scotched for many years TO
come the possibility of a permanent
industrial commission. Congress Is not
likely soon again to bring forth an
other prodigy"

Splendid Display
of Furniture to
Be Made Monday

One OF the finest stocks of house
hold furniture ever shown at the
opening of business season here will
be displayed at the store of the Hop
kins Furniture Company. 25 West
Broad Street. beginning tomorrow
Monday is the date selected by Man
ager j. D. Clothier. OF the Hopkins
store. for the formal opening of the
new quarters into which the business
was moved from I and 3 East Broad
several weeks ago
While business conducted by the
firm at its new home during these
weeks has been UP 10 the anticipa-
tons of the company, the store has de-
termined that it shall be greater. and
plans have been perfected for the pre-
sentation of one of the most complete
lines of standard goods ever shown
here.
Ever since the business was estab-
llished in 1900 it has grown in volume
and the popularity of the company has
increased The up-to-date met ods
and the business policy of the Hop
kins Furniture Company have met
with the approval of its patrons. and
the growth which came as a result has
forced the concern to acquire larger
space to take care of present business
and to permit ofTthe natural growth
to come.

ITALIAN TROOPS ENTER
CITY OF ROVERETO

Rome. Sept. At Is unofficially re-
ported that the forts of Royereto,
blocking the Italian advance on Trent.
were blown up yesterday and that
the Austrians are evacaating the city,
retreating up the Adige Valley to-
ward Trent. Italian troops began en-
tering Rovereto last night, according
to the reports, which have not yet
beer officially confirmed.
The dispatches say that after their
troops had left the city, the Austrian
batteries on the heights nearby bonn
barded Roverto. destroying Italian
monuments and the homes of Italian
residents.
Koverro is sixteen miles north of the
Italian frontier and thirteen miles from
Trent Its fall Is expected to be fol-
lowed by the evacuation OF Rfva. at the
head Of Lake Garda. and is considered
very important step in the advance
on Trent.
The Italian official statement today
tells OF desperate fighting on the upper
Rienzi River on Mount Piano. Here
the Austrians essayed another attack
on the Italian positions. and were
driven back until the whole OF Mount
Chiadenio was taken and held BY the
Italians.

about it says the bulletin just Issued
by the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation. This bulletin was prepared by
four members of the committee on
Social Studies of the National Edu-
cation Association-Dr. j. Lynn Bar

The significance of the term COM

to the national community as we'll
/ Emphasis is laid upon the local COM
munlty because it is the one with
/ which every child-citizen has most
! intimate relations and for that reason
it is easier for him to enter into actual
cooperation with it."
he authors Of the bulletin make
clear that the term citizenship" Is
used broadly. The good citizen" they
say. is a person who habitually con-
ducts himself with proper regard for

which be is a member, and is active
and intelligent in his cooperation
with his fellow members 20 that end. .
Community civics. according to the
bulletin, should he taught in the eie-
mentary grades of the public schools
and should be continued in a more
cnna pre- aeHsipe- fst- In first year
of the high school Many pupils
do not enter high school al all. and
those who do should already have
begun 10 acquire habits of civic
thought and action. The greater ma
turity of the high school pupil makes
possible the development of phases of
the subject that are impractical BILE in
the elementary school"
Many courses in civics fail" the
authors think because they fix at
tention upon the machinery of gov
eminent rather than upon the ele-
ments of community fare for which
government exists. They familiarize
the pupil with the manipulation Of
the social machinery without showing
him the Importance of the social ends
for which the machinery exists. A
lesson in the community civics is not
complete unless it leaves with the
pupil sense of his responsibility and
results in right action. To attain these
ends is perhaps the most dificult and
/! delicate task Of the teacher
Much civic instruction" declares
the bulletin. has heen ineffective be-
cause 1t has left the pupil to work
out for himself the application of
general principles. The translation of
principles into conduct is more diff
cult than the comprehension OF the
principles themselves. While We urge
that the citizen should engage in
these activities as far as opportunity
offers. it is necessary to cultivate a
motive sufficiently strong to lead him
actually TO do SO This motive is to
be found in the common interest
which includes his interest, at least
until such time as an ideal altruism
may lead TO the placing of the interest
of others and of the community above
the interest Of self"

near future and are vie-ing with the
