Leaders of Movement for Enfranchise-

Chicago, June THE leading suf-

ton of national enfranchisement of

STATE ROADS
Highways Are Improved and

GOOD OBJECTS ATTAINED.

Road Work For Prisoners Is Success
From an Economic Standpoint-No
Guards Are Used In Colorado, but
Few Convicts Have Tried to Escape.
At the fourth American road con-
gress at Atlanta last November there
was a too brief discussion Of the en-
ployment of convicts on public roads.
But since the participants gave actual
experience rather than untried theories
we may overlook the lack of some de.
tails, says the National Stockman and
Farmer.
Two objects are in view in the work.
ing of convicts on roads-the welfare
of the men and the improvement of
the highways. Experience shows that
both objects are attained, but that road
work is a greater success from the hui
manitarian than from the economic
standpoint.
The effect on the prisoners is good
both physically and morally. Their
work is wholesome, in the open air.
They are taught to work and are re-
warded for faithfulness by small
sum of money which is available when
their sentence expires or by a reduc-
ton of their term of Imprisonment.
They are trained in cleanliness and
sanitation, and, above all, they are
made to feel that they are men by be-
ing trusted.
Commissioner Maloney of Colorado
states that no armed guards are used
the men are placed on parole and trust
ed, and not over one in 100 has ever
attempted to escape. Commissioner
Coleman of Virginia has not been able

CONVICTS ON ROAD WORK IN COLORADO.
to put the honor system into effect
with the convicts under his control,
but evidently has hope Of being able
to do so with certain classes.
1t is worthy of note that the effect
of road work is good on the mind Of
the public as we'll as on the morals of
the prisoner. The average citizen is
liable to see for himself that very few
of the convictS arc dangerous and that
many of them, if given a chance, will
make good citizens" 1t has also
roads,
Many prisoners are employed by con-
tractors or farmers at the expiration
of their term and thus kept away from
their old haunts and associates. In a
word, there is no question about the
moral, mental and physical benefits of
road work on the cOnvicts and incl
dentally better attitude toward them
on the part of the public.
Absolutely correct analysis of the
economic side of the movement is i'm
possible from the data presented. Com
missioner Coleman states that it cost
last year 81 cents per ten hour day to
feed, guard and otherwise provide for
the convict labor on roads.
1t would cost something to provide
for these men in idleness, and the to-
tai should not be charged to the roads.
In Colorado experience shows a saving
of about % per cent over free labor.
all things considered. Mr.. Atkinson o.
Louisiana estimates the total cost Of
prisoners on roads, including supervi-
sion, at Al cents per day.
Mr.. Morgan of Utah made no esti-
mates except saving of $1,000 to ST.
O00 a mile on roads built with convict
labor. Such experience given by men
in charge of the prisoners and the roads
is worth a volume of theories about a
great problem, but it also sustains the
theory that convicts should build roads.

The violence of the allied offensive

Fighting on Aisne.
The lighting which is arOusing most
comment is to the north of the Aisne,
east OF Tracy-le-Mont, where there
was violent fighting when the German
GTiVe was checked early last autumn,
but where comparative calm has pre-
vailed since that time. At that posi-
zion, according to the French official
statement, the French have already
made important gains, capturing two

Greatest Battle of Land Cam

Paris, June IA telegram from the
Italian frontier says that two Italian
cruisers and two torpedo boats arrived
in front of the Island of LISA in the
Dalmatian archipelago, and renewed
the bombardment, completing the de-
struction of the Austrian barracks.
Marines were disembarked and made
the whole garrison prisoners, the com
mander surrendering upon realizing the
impossibility of further resistance.
Three hundred prisoners were taken
and embarked for Ancona.
Rovereto Evacuated.
Rome, June Probably the most
important Italian gain yet accom-
plished was reported in the Austrian
evacuation of Rovereto., a heavily for
titled city in the Adige valley, which
is considered the key to Trent. The
Austrians are said to have practically
destroyed the city.
1t was officially announced several
days ago that the Italians had captured
could dominate Rovereto with their
guns. The Italians are now reported
advancing on Trent.
Monte Nero Battle.
The hardest fighting of the Austro-
Italian war is in progress around
Monte Nero, north of the Isonzo river,
between Tolmein and Caporetto. AL
though the summit is in possession of
the Italians, the Austriars are still
holding strong positions and Lieuten-
ant General Count Cadorna, chief of
the Italian general staff, is pouring
fresh troops and artillery into the bat
tie.
Artillery duels are raging in the Alps
on the Friuli frontier in spite of thick
fog, which makes accurate shooting
very difficult.
Despite the increasing resistance of
the Austrians, the Italians continue to
make progress in every direction. East
of Lake Garda the Italian army of in
vasion in front has occupied Mattaso-
no and Val Morbia.
100000 Italians Massed.
Rome, June Three hundred thou
sand italian troops have now been
massed against the Austrian defenses
on the left bank of the Isonzo. Two
hundred thousand Austrians, it is es-
timated here, are manning the hostile
works. The battle is raging.
The main Italian attack is being
pressed on the far slopes of Monte
Nero and the neighboring Austrian
artillery positions. These command
the approaches to Tolmino, generally
considered the key to the gateway to
Trieste. Upon this battle depends the
fate of the whole Isonzo campaign.
On the Tyrolean front the Italians
are making slow but steady progress
in the direction of Rovereto, which
guards Trent along the Adige valley.
Refugees report that the Austrian
authorities are rapidly evacuating
Garda and Toron. where the popula-
tions of the towns have hoisted the
Italian colors. All the inhabitants of
Moro have been transferred under
military direction to Innsbruck.
Fifty-SeVen Ships confiscated.
Reports indicate that Italy is losing
no time in her aggressive campaign.
