Cardinal Falcone, formerly papal dele gate at Washington, went to the Fran ciscan monastery recently to see some of the old monks with whom he had been associated so intimately for years As he went up the broad walk or the ancient monastery, an Italian officer came down the steps He was in full cavalry uni form, with sweeping cavalry cape and shining helmet, and a heavy saber and spurs rattled as he moved along Near ing the cardinal. the officer fell OR his knee and kissed the cardinals ring, and the cardinal, amazed at the greeting. rec ognized at last one of the old monks, no longer in scandals and coarse gown with rope girdle, but in the uniform of Italy.

work of securing such military control of the Carso range and the mountains along the IsonZo river that it will be eXpedient, from military standpoint, to strike for the real prizes beyond.
 The Italian commanders express sat isfaction with the progress made with in the last six months. All the fight ing, and all the progress, has been on Austrian soil, and no Austrian troops have at any time entered Italy. The Austrian coast ports Porto Buso and Grado, leading toward Triest, have been taken by the Italians and from Grado the lights of Triest can be seen at night across the Adriatic. Further north, in the mountain coun- try, the Playa Pass has been won, though at a cost of whole regiments cut to pieces and chain of mountain tops, villages and stations has been establs shed encircling Gorizia. But Cor izia itself still holds out through It's natural mountain defenses and US railway lines pouring in constant sup plies of fresh troops and ammunition.

conversing earnestly. Blye showed
tommy the picture in the lid of the

highly pleased from the very begin

Scatti saw them reduce her to submis-

wrap of creamy colors. The three hur-

drove down into the dingy east side
street where June lay in the sleep of
blessed rest. Blye had Tommy take
