Whether living in their own houses,

The scene was a small plateau

the only space in nothern France

This is an example which should

"Gradisca is strategic point upon

great part of interior Austria's COM

passed over this line in peace times

munitions of war. Montfalcone, about
10 miles southwest of Gradisca and
some four miles from the Adriatic, is
situated upon this rail line where it

Venice.
Chiefly important as a point for
the defense of northern rail communi-

TIME PUBLIC OPINION ACTED.

Invariably it is the case where
lynchers set out to accomplish their
purpose they are successful. but
there are instances when the author
tiles in full realization of the respon-
sibility which rests upon them to up
hold the law are able to Illustrate such
lawlessness. Usually it is accomplished
by subterfuge and occasionally by the
sacrifice of their own lives. This was
the case recently in South Carolina
when a sheriff fell in defending his
prisoner. In the adjoining state of
Georgia the mob however carried out
its design when the sheriff gave up
his man without opposition and lynch
law carried the day.
Whatever progress the south is
making for the suppression of the
lynching bees there still remains plen-
ty Of opportunity for Improvement,
Whilelthe representative of the law in
one instance was thoroughly alive to
his duties and apparently in sympathy
with the prescribed course such did not
prevail in the other state. In both
cases. however, there was displayed by
the citizens of those respective com
munities an utter disregard for law
and order. By them there was no in
clination to have the law maintained
or to permit Justice to prevail. With
them it is to be believed that there
is respect only for might
The killing of the South Carolina
sheriff, however, should carry its own
