Berlin, July Z. via London. July s.
EOS a. M.-The Tageblatt's correspond
ent at the Isonzo front tells of the
heavy fighting during the past few
days in that section of the Austro-Ital-
ian border
Desperate Italian attacks against
the Dobod plateau" he says, "contin-
ued all Tuesday and late into the night,
the last fruitless assault being deiiv-
cred after midnight"
This plateau with its peaks, ST.
Martin and ST. Micheal, form the key
to the southern extremity of the Aus
trian positions barring the way along
the coast to Triest. A general attack
began early in the morning of July l
prepared by an artillery bomba r;lment
almost unprecedented in intensity
King Victor Emmanuel and the Italian
premier, Salandria, visited the front tc
watch the expected victory.
The Italians yesterday charged
time and time again up the western
slopes Of the plateau. One attack was
headed by the Bersarliere without RI
fles. but carrying hand grenades, and
opening the way for the infantry who
followed. All the attacks were repulsed
with very heavy losses.
Austrian Losses Also Heavy
The Austrian losses also were heavy.
chiefly by the outcropping rock did not
permit Of the construction of trenches
in various parts Of the plateau, but
they were small in proportion to those
Of the Italians and the success gained.
The bodies of many Italians killed
were to be seen on the ground before
the Austrian lines.
Yesterday was also marked by violent
attacks against the bridgehead at Goriza
The massed guns, including the Italian
u-inch mortars, delivered a prolonged
and intense bombardment. 1t seemed as
If nothing could be left Of the Austrian
positions and defenders. The infantry
attacks beginning at II o'clock yester-
day morning and repeated during the
course Of the day were repulsed. how

The second great Isonzo offensive,

its way into the Austrian lines at two
points. one near Podgera-a height COW

All the dead and injured are from

Most Of the injured are women and

was so completely crushed that the
work Of getting the injured free and

was distressingly slow. There were
about IS passengers on the car and

injury. Eight dead were taken from
the wreckage and two Of the injured

ing carried from the car to an ambu-

of such an exalted body.
WE WILL hazard guess that the old Second ID

ANY Republican who bitches his tail to Dem
"A ocratc kite, next year, is going to get 1t
where MAMIE wears her beads.
IF THE effects Of that redistricting bill do not
not come back to plague somebody, we will
never pose as prophet again.
WERE Justice not blind, she would hang her
w head with shame at the acts OF some
Democratic politicians we know of.
THERE is just faint suspicion that things IN
Polk County are not being carried out ac-
cording to the Democratic programme.
WE. HAVE heard so much about deserving
w Democrats that, out of idle curiosity,
we would like to view one of the critters.
MR.. McKELLAR'S letter to Senator KERN, OF
lVl Indiana, is a reminder that most Demo
Gratis never remember favor or forget an insult.
yY7HEN it gets to the point where Democrat
w can see the evils of a free trade policy,
there is hope that he will be patriotic enough to
vote his sentiments.
THE proposition that all of the Justices OF
Polk County resign at the next meeting OF
the County Court is step forward in the interest
of better service to the people.
A LREADY it is reported that HAM has been
"A drunk again. He may have been hilarious
at times, but that is probably pardonable when
he thinks of what he is going to do to LUKE.

VIEWED from any angle, the brand of poll
tics played in Polk County for the past
wear can. by no stretch of the imagination, be
construed to mean that the Democratic party
will be in control, next year.
MAN with pronounced Democratic leanings
lvI met us, the other day, with this remark; Il
don't like your blasted paper, but, somehow |
have Just got to read it." Many Of them, how
ever, read it without going through the formal
ity of paying for it,

WHEN politician plays with edged tools, he
w ought to be certain they won't cut both
ways.
ZONE on, now, you Republicans Let's work
~ to nominate LUKE SO that BEN can trim him
mn so his friends won't know him.
TAKING the subscription list of this paper as
u an index, there is number of Republic
ans in Polk County who can not read.
AT LAST accounts, that strict accountability
IA threat by the President bears strong re-
semblance to some of the planks in the Baltl-
more platform.
WHEN minister of the gospel says that HAM,
w morally, is the fttest Democrat in Ten
nessee for United States Senator, one wonders
what the rest of them really are.
WITH all due respect to the Presidents re-
w cent diplomatic triumphs e., ne has
never impressed us as having much above his
shoulders except teeth and eyebrows.
THE law plainly says that an official who takes
contract from county shall be barred
from holding office for ten years and shall pay
back into the treasury all moneys he has re-
ceived.
OF COURSE, if customers Of. banks affiliated
~ with the Federal Reserve Banks want to
paw for high salaried parasites exquisite fixtures
and the like, we have no objection. But do
they realize it?
GAYS MORGAN BLAKE in the Nashville Banner:
y Saint it nice when you go up to vote now,
to feel pretty confident that your vote was going
to be counted?" What would Republicans not
give to be as confident?
CINCE last August, when the Democrats OF
y Polk County won questionable victory,
they have carried things with high-handedness
unparalleled The time has come, as the wal
rus said, to talk of other things.

XYTHEN the Chattanooga Times heard that
w South Carolina had gone for prohibition,
that miserable old busybody came as near ex-
piring of palpitation of the heart as was posi-
BILE without accomplishing that feat.
TT is stated that the Presidents hobby is Eng
lish history. Not few wish he could de-
vote all of his time to that unhampered by the
present cares which are so uncongenial to him
and for which he seems so peculiarly untitled.
