The italian Aggressive.

A resumption of the Italian often
sive against Austria calls attention
to the fact that the campaign in that
quarter has yielded but few results.
For several months the Italian and
Austrian armies have been facing
each other along an extended front,
with neither side making any sensi-
bic advance. The character of the
country is such that large gains are
difficult. Trench fighting of the
kind that is conducted in France and
Flanders and to some extent in Rus
sia is here impossible, but the troops
dig themselves in" in another man
ner, by utilizing the natural inequali-
ties of the ground in the mountain
passes. Frontal attacks are impossi-
Bile. The terrain is ideal for indi-
vidual and small sluad work, and the
result is that the advances scored are
slight. Artillery duels occur, but it
seems impossible to follow them with
heavy charges as in France. Whether
the Italians are lacking in force or
in skill cannot be understood at this
distance. but the fact remains that

As for the effect of the munitions
situation in England upon the United
States, there will be in most minds
but one thought, and that is that it
will be best on all accounts for the

No power on earth could continue the
demand for destructive products in

it is we'll for the American manufac-
turers to readjust as quickly as posi-
bic to normal conditions. Econom-
ically such spasmodic demand for
goods is apt to cause reaction after
its supply is accomplished, and the
present hope of those concerned in
the American industrial situation is
that the transition from war order

The Smithsonian Art Collection,

If the Smithsonian Institution re-
gents act in the matter of the Wide
ner art collection. as now proposed,
the request that Washington become
the future home of that valuable gal
1ery will in effect come from the
United States government The
Smithsonian stands as a federal in
stitution. 1t is recognized through
out the world as one of the most I'M
portant scientific agencies in exist
ence. 1t has. likewise. a long record
as conservator of art. When the
original building was erected gal
lery was provided. in the western
wing. in which examples OF Amerl-
can art were displayed. In the hre
which swept through that portion OF
the building a little more than fifty
years ago this gallery was ruined and
with it some excellent paintings de-
picting Indian life and character.
Later the gallery was rehtted, and
for long time remained as the only
strictly official collection of art IN
the country When the Harriet Lane
Johnson collection was given to the
government it found appropriate en-
placement in the new National Mu
set,m. and formed the nucleus for the
present excellent gallery, which is
typically American.
Thus the regents OF the institution,
if they ask for consideration in the
matter OF the final disposal of the
Widener collection, can point to
record of federal art encouragement
and display which will justify the Sc
lection of Washington, regardless OF
other conditions. With the present
collection, and the Freer Whistler
collection and the Widener paintings
and sculptures housed here as a ma
tional gallery, Washington will. in
deed. become an art center OF M
portance. and other additions are GER
tain to follow in consequence.

Revenue. and Caucus Action.

In the matter of revenue, to pro-
vide both for preparedness and for
the deficiency created by the Under
wood law, would it not be well for
the democrats OF the two houses OF
Congress to hold formal or in
formal Joint caucus? The House will,
OF course. initiate the work, but the
Senate possesses. and will exercise.
the right OF review: and out OF the
exercise OF that right in the past
some hard trials and great trlbu-
lations" have sprung.
Twenty-one years ago the Senate
made so many and such radical
changes in the House Wilson tariff
bill that the democratic party was
quite upset by the resulting row.
President Cleveland was drawn in.
and received along with the House a
black eye. Two years later the party
met a smashing defeat in presiden-
tial campaign.
Six years ago the Senate made so
many changes in the House Payne
bill the republican party was upset.
President Taft was drawn in, and
suffered along with his party. Three
wears later the party in preslden-
tial campaign met smashing defeat,
and is now out of power.
Two years ago the Senate held the
House Underwood bill FIVE months,
and changed it in many particulars,
and against the protests of its au-
thors. But not even the Senate could,
or did. make it a revenue producer,
or a stinulator of business. What
prosperity business is now enjoying
is due to the war; and Treasury
deficit testifles to the measures
shortcomings as to revenue. Presi-
dent Wilson is involved because he
signed the measure.
The test comes next year, when
the democracy must go to the coun-
try on record, with the tariff lead
ing feature. Will history. repeat it
self?
These chapters of tariff history are
important at this time. Mr.. Kitchin
may bring his party in the House
TO his views OF revenue measure,
but what will the Senate do with the
Houses work. Will Mr.. Simmons
another North Carolinian-persuade
the Senate to agree to the House
measure, or will he proceed, as he did
in the case of the Underwood bill,
to put it into new forms
A caucus, or informal conference,
of the majority members of the two
houses might reach an understanding
as to what should be done in the
drafting of bill, and, later, in its
handling. SO as to prevent such
clash as would cmbarrass those re-
sponsible for legislation on the eve
OF a presidential contest. There
should be no politics i'll preparedness,
but on the question of raising reve-
nue politics cannot be avoided.

after which the Austrian lines were
