ROME, June 10.-Italian troops
have won their most important vic
tory of the war. In the first stages
of the great battle now raging along
the lsonZo they have captured the
railway centre of Monfalcone, near
Trieste The fall of Goritz. capital of
the Austrian province of that name,

An official statement issued last

follows:
Reports received of the operations
on June I and show that the Ital-
ians in pursuing along the Isonzo
river the task Of dislodging the Aus
trians from strong natural positions
and establishing bridgeheads are dis
playing great bravery and tenacity
in the face of heavy obstacles inten-
sified by floods.
I'VE have occupied the town of
Monfalcone (slXteen miles north
west of Trieste, near the Adriatic).
Our losses were not serious, while we
took 400 Austrians prisoners.

Further DR.. Clark writes, Another
defect is in the inadequacy of relief in
the case of serious or permanent dis
ability or of death. Where disability
is permanent or death ensues, the
amount of one years wages is in mos
cases mere pittance, and not worthy
the name of compensation" For mi
nor injuries of sixteen or more days
with complete recovery, the payment
Of full wages not only makes the
amount of relief disproportionately
large, but is also contrary to all COM
pensatino practice. The lack of pro
vision for medical and surgical aid
under the present law is also con-
trary to other compensation expeir
ence.
He states, "Under the act of 1908
unsanitary practices may be persistee
in and surgical operations, however
slight and howevere beneficial in pros
pect, may be refused, and compensa
ton still be demanded as of right"
Administrative provisions are also
inadequate. Another question Of
large importance relates to admins
tration," writes DIR. Clark. "The law
OF 1908 is exceedingly scanty in its
provisions in this respect, and cor
respondingly inadequate, with unsat-
isfactory results in relation to the
various departments and establish
ments affected and the office charged
with the duty of administration.

inertia and from press of other mat
tiers than on account of any apparent

partments interested having given
their approval to the idea of a~more
inclusive and better-balanced law.

ATTACK
COMPENSATION

Washington, D.. c., Dec. 16.-Cer-
tain parts Of the New York and New
Jersey compensation laws are to be
reviewed by the United States SUI
preme court. The Southern Pacific
Steamship company, which controls a
line of boats running from New York
city to Galveston asks to be exempt
from the New York law on the
ground that it interferes with inter
state commerce. The federal district
court recently ordered the company
to pay damages to a New York long
shereman. The Clyde Steamship
company also complains Of the appli-
cation of this law.
The American Radiator company
protests against the New Jersey act
because an employee who was injur-
ed in that state and who insists on
damages under the law, made a con-
tract of employment in New York.

COMPENSATION
ACT UPHELD.

Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 15.-The
state. supreme court, In the longest de-
cision ever filed in that tribunal, has
upheld the Iowa workmen's compen-
sation and employers liability act.
The Consolidated Coal company of
Colfax had rejected the compensation
feature of the act and was only liable
under the employers liability act. An
'employe sued the company and was
awarded damages for injuries by the
Jasper county district court. The
company, in its appeal, attacked the
constitutionality Of the law. It also
held that the lower court had erred in
refusing to permit it to prove to the
jury that it was not responsible for
the accident. The supreme court up
held the company in this latter con
tention and remanded the case for re
trial. ''1n all other respects" said
the court, ''the decision below is right
and the vitality Of the statute under
consideration is hereby affirmed r.

Employees
Want Compensation


Washington, D. c., Dec. 1l7lwith
the opening of congress tie demand
for a just compensation system for
federal employees is brought actively
forward OILS more by the introduc-
Stion Of the Kern-McGillicuddy bill by
Represenlarise McGillicuddy of Maine
This bill was promoted in the last
Congress and was reported favorably
by the House Judiciary Committee. It
has been endorsed by the American
Federation of Labor, the National As
sociation of Letter Carriers, United
States Custom Employees Associa-
tons. the Affiliated Trades OF New
York Navy Yard and numerous other
unions Of civilian employees of the
United States. The bill moreover is
favored by the Federal Bureau Of La
Dor Statistics, the government depart
ment in charge of the administration
of the present inadequate law.
Drafted by the American Associa
ton for Labor Legislation the pro-
posed law fixes the basis of compen-
alton at two-tAirds of wages during
disability instead of 100 per cent for
only one year, as at present, it gives

The complete inadequacy of the

which is said to be the worst in exist

for federal employees made a scathing
attack on the existing law which he
described as "crde and inadequate"

Political Economy.
He points out that while the present
law was a pioneer act in this country
many of its mistaken provisions could
have been avoided by study Of the
European compensation systems al
ready we'll established when the law
was drafted. Even with the extern
sions of the present law by amend
ments DR.. Clark points out that at

The Valor of Ignorance

Ask any average American possessed of the
usual amount of misinformation of things mill
tary what our nation would do if invaded by
first class military power and ten to one he will
reply in the words of that great pacifist, Andrew
Carnegie, I'VE would rise up one man and
throw them into the sea-" Then, however, he
will go on to tell you that the United States is in
no danger of invasion from foreign military
powers because of the Atlantic Ocean on one side
and the Pacific on the other. Our fleet, he will
say, therefore will protect US from invasion from
such sources and Canada and Mexico don't count
Up to five or six years ago our friend would
have been more or less right. At that time our
navy second only to the gigantic fleet of
England and constituted first class barrier
against foreign invaders. Behind it would
have had time to prepare the armies necessary
to meet possible invasion. The introduction of
the dreadnought, the all big gun battleship, how
ever, made our once powerful fleet as obsolete as
though the Names fate had been visited upon
each of it's units. Following this innovation in
warfare our thirty or forty battleships became
over night worthy only of the scrap heap. Just
as the Monitor in the twinkling of eye rele-
gated the old wooden steam frigates to the
marine museums, SO did the dreadnought the
slower and mixed-gunned battleshps of the pre-
dreadnought period.
The actual effective strength of the navy of
the United States today is eight completed dread
noughts and four in process of construction.
Against this miserable fleet, if incurred the
hostility Of, for instance, the allies, they could
form fleet by drawing units from the following
powers of the alliance which have completed
dreadnoughts in these numbers: England twen-
ty-nne with seventeen building, France four with
eight in process of construction and Japan four
with six building, Russia not counting though
she has eleven building.
Enough dreadnoughts could be detached from
this enormous total to outnumber our poor little
fleet two to and destroy it entirely if fool
ish nation sent it against them, or bottle it up
for the duration of the war in one of our fortified
harbors.
With our navy thus disposed of and the seas
safe for their transports, there would be nothing
to prevent the allies using Canada as base for
actually invading the United States. What num-
bers of invaders would come and in how short
time would we have to meet them? Military
statistics show that in ten days time Canada can
throw 10000 trained and equipped men into this
country. just seven days later, thanks to her
great fleet of merchant steamers, England can
land 100000 additional men in Canada adjacent
to eastern coast. On the Pacific twenty sew
en- days after the outbreak of the war, JAPAN
thanks to her numerous merchant MARINE can
transport to and land in Canada, ad jacent to our
western coast, 100000 veteran soldiers. IN
JUST TWO MONTHS AND HALF LATER
AT THE LONGEST, THIS ORIGINAL INvAD-
ING FORCE OF OVER 100000 COULD BE
