Hamper Italians

Udine, Italy. (via Lugano to Paris,
July THE Italian advance in Tyrol
is seriously hindered by the continued
bad weather, which is exceptional in
midsummer. The mountaineers do not
remember a season when there has been
so much snow on the heights on July J..
The mountain streams, which usually
are dry az the end Of June, are now
deep and almost impossible
The Italian troops are cncOuntering
snowstorms and thick fogs, which have
interfered with long range firing. Hail
storms were beating 10 day in the mems
faces in parts Of Tyrol, where the ad-
vance upwards is still in progress.
Austrian Defences Strong.
More elaborate Austrian defences are
confronting the invading forces. The
Austrian trenches are protected by wide
bitches and wire eutanglements. Pits
have been dug and covered with
branches Of trees and earth. with
spikes at the bottom. Into these in
fantry in the course Of q charge are
in danger Of falling. The Italians,
therefore. are obliged TO advance slow
ly and with extreme caution.
One Of the most effective sections Of
the Italian light troops IS composed Of
customs guards. whose duty heretofore
has been concerned with mountain
gmugglers These guards are now be-
ing utilized as scouts, and some Of
their exploits are mentioned in the
orders Of The day.
on one occasion four of these guards
crawled close 10 the Austrian outposts
and came into possession Of informa-
ton Of great value 80 the Italian COM
manders All Of them refused re-
wards fer this service.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Serbia IS now ia complete posses
sion of the central powers. The REM
nants of the Serbian army were driven
into Albania and Montenegro where
the Montenegrins are aiding them ia
resisting the Austrians. The French
and British, defeated by the Bulgar-
ians, have crossed back into Greece
and are retiring to the port of Saloni-
XII which they expect to hold. Greece
has practically Joined the Entente
allies and has turned Saloniki over to
the French and British. The Germans
are reported to be watching the
Roumanian frontier where the Rus
slams are threatening to break
through. German forces are also said
to be concentrating at Monastlr and
Dorian, presumably in preparation
for an advance. into Greece.
1t is reported sume Italian troops
have been landed on the Albanian
coast to aid the Serbans and Monte
negrins against the Austrians.
The United States has demanded
that Austria disavows the act of her
submarine commander in sinking the
Italian steamship, Ancona, on which
American lives were lost. Austria
refuses, saying the sinking of the
Ancona was justified by the clrcum-
stances, but regrets that American
lives were lost, also that Americans
used ship belonging to country
with which Austria was at war.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The plans for the program and
entertainment on the evening of
Wednesday, Dec. ~, are develop
ing rapidly. An exhibition will be
offered by the domestic science
department after the program, and
refreshments will be served by the
members of this department. There
will be various booths in the upper
hall, for the selling of candy, pop
corn balls, and nuts. The program
will be held in room Two, and will
be the first event of the evening.
1t will consist of mixed program,
mainly music, with two or three
readings, pantomime, and other
events not entirely decided upon.
A large attendance is hoped for,
as the proceeds of the entertain
ment are to 60 to the furthering of
our school enterprises. The prices
of admission will be twenty-five
and fifteen cents.
The grades are not planning any
formal Christmas programs for
this year, as many of the children
are interested in church or Sunday
school programs. Most of the
grades, however, will have a
Christmas tree, and some kind of

TAXES are due again and
payable and must be paid
before the first Monday in
January in order not to be-
come delinquent. Everybody
knows that it costs something
to maintain schools, state
penal, protective and educa.
tional institutions and an
intricate system Of govern
ment, and they are willing to
pay for them so far as they
consider them-necessary, but
few know just how much
money is needed to maintain
these things and keep them
efficient. For this reason
there is a great deal of talk
the year round about extrava-
gance, waste, unjust assess
ments, excessive taxation,
ETC., without being able to
base assertions on sufficient
accurate knowledge to lead to
a noticeable improvement in
conditions, if any improve
ment is really needed. Now,
while we are bordering over
our tax statements, is proba-
bly, a very appropriate time to
begin studying the subject
and to make it a point to
treasure up all information
that comes to hand from time
to time to enlighten and
enable us to act with intel
igence when selecting Off
Gals, voting on bond ques.
tions and considering future
financial budgets.

CONTESTS are always pro-
dlctive of popular interest.
The part unpleasant to con-
template is the disappoint-
ment that is certain from the
start for most of those who
enter. Only one can reach
first place. However, it is
always presumed that even
the most determined and am
bilious enter a contest willing
to accept defeat cheerfully
should the result show they
have lost. Life is full of dis
appointments, and there are
SO many that are infinitely
worse than that which comes
from failure to win in a
friendly contest for a prize.

The number of the Lyceum
course, in which the school is very
much interested was great
success. The Beverly Entertainers
true to their name, amused and
entertained the audience very
effectively. The chief regret on
the part of the students seems to
be that the program was not
longer. The value of such enter
tainments to the school children is
very great, as it gives them a
chance to hear excellent music
and fine readings, which they
might otherwise miss. This is
true, of course, of the whole COM
munity as well.

and the Christmas spirit,

Especially is it the time to

patton. The older people
crave chiefly for their part,
peace, contentment and good
will, but the little ones
require something more tangi-

Excursion Steamers Capacity"

1t is reported that the local fed
era1 steamboat inspectors have, after
inquiry, decided that certain river
boats have not carried more than
their certified number of passengers.
This is to a certain extent reassur-
ing, but in the light of the disclosures
in the Eastland case it does not go
far enough. According to all trust
worthy evidences the Eastland was
not "overloaded," in the sense that
she carried no more than her GER
tilted number. But there is the best
reason to believe that the Eastlands
capacity certificate was written en-
tirely too high and that she was, in
truth, grossly overloaded when she
turned over. 1t does not, of course,
necessarily follow that the excessive
certihcation in the Eastland case has
been duplicated elsewhere. But
what has happened once may happen
again in generally similar circum-
stances, and it would seem to be the
course of wisdom for the certiica-
ton of all excursion steamers in this
country to be reviewed with view
to determining whether there are
any more vessels that can be danger
ously overloaded even when they are
carrying their officially certified num-

with this downtown drug store sta
ton, where he was refused accom-
mediation on a package because the
establishment was numbered" and
not "lettered." Whether this was a
case of individual ignorance on the
part of the clerk or fault of the
system is not yet clear, but the case
illustrates graphically the baroness
of the facilities for posting mail mat
ter in the heart of the capital. That
it is necessary to go more than half
a mile from the center of business
in this city to post letter or pack
age, when one lacks the necessary
stamps or weight directions, is pre-
posterous.
The proposition that drugstore
station was a good substitute for the
downtown central Office when the
move was made to the station plaza
building has always appealed to bust
ness Washingtoniafs as joke that
would be enjoyable if it were not
the cause of serious annoyance and
delay. Certainly if this numbered"
station is regarded by the postal au-
thorities as substitute for the main
Office there should be the fullest ia
cilities for posting mail, and the most
intelligent service there SO that a
citizen can secure accommodation
equal to that afforded at the central
Office.

The British Blockade Contention.

AS was to have been expected, the
British reply to the American note
relative to the stopping OF cargoes
destined for Germany but consigned
to neutral ports is based upon &C
tons of this government, and de-
cisions by the American Supreme
Court in cases growing out OF the
civil war blockade. The British po-
sition in this matter is the stranger
because of the fact that during the
civil war. when the United States was
Selling ships and cargoes booked Tor
British West Indian ports and invok-
ing the continuous voyage" princi-
pie in justification of their detention,
Great Britain acquiesced.
Ii American cargoes are consigned
to neutral ports in Europe but are
specifically intended for German I'M
portation and consumption they are
undoubtedly subject to seizure II con-
traband, according to the doctrine
laid down in the Springbok and other
cases. in which the American ST.
preme Court upheld the action OF the
blockading fleet and the prize courts.
If American cargoes consigned to
foreign neutral ports are INTENDED
to go into common stock or to be
sold ito order" without having been
specifically bought by or for Ger
many, they are. under the rulings OF
the Supreme Court in the so-called
Matamoros cases, not subject 10
seizure. As between cargoes thus
honestly consigned and cargoes orlgl-
nally intended for German consump-
ton there are undoubtedly Difficult
ties of determination. Great Britain
now claims the right to scrutinize all
such cargoes in order to ascertain
their nature and their probable ulti-
mate destination, just as the United
States insisted during the civil war
upon the right to seize and hold tor
scrutiny all cargoes subject to posi-
Bile suspicion. In the present case,
as during the civil war days, such
seizures are subject to review by
prize courts and by higher courts.
Great Britain now makes point of
the fact that this government has
the right of appeal from the prize
court to the judicial committee of
the British privy council, and from
that body to review by an interna-
tional tribunal. This parallels the
course open to British shippers fifty
years ago, when from the prize court
appeals were taken to the United
States Supreme Court, and in several
cases further appeals were taken to
an international commission for the
determination of damages.
