The Austro-Italian Campaign,

Thus far the Italian campaign
against Austria is one of aggressive
action. King Victor's troops have
crossed the Austrian boundary in
several places, occupying three towns
in the plain at the mouth of the
Idzonzo river, somewhat northwest
of Trieste. and also holding a num-
Der of mountain passes in the neigh
borhood of Lake Garda, north of We
roma. The later activities are in the
Lake Garda region. and are evidently
designed to block the way of an Aus
tro- German force moving southwark
through the valleys toward the Ital-
ian cities of Venctia. 1t is hardly to
be expected that the Italian strategy
contemplates at present a continu-
Gus invasion of the Austrian Tyrol,
which is extremely mountainous and
difficult Of access. save perhaps the
investment and capture of the city
of Trente. Rather is it likely
that operations along this line will
comprise the occupation of the ave
nues of approach toward Italy, while
in the east Italian troops will move

Mr.. Bryan will have contributed
largely toward the result. and will
be expected to help elect him. The

affections. will be in peril. and the
eloquence of the Nebraskan may be-
come the principal party asset III the
state.

Now and then it is stated that Mr..

that a new running mate for Mr.. Will

on a par with this yarn about MIR.
BRYAN. The democracy next year
will need its strongest men in its
leading places: and Mr.. Marshall and
Mr.. Bryan are such important fac
tors in the administration both will
figure in the party's appeal for in
dorsement. To count out either
would be a party loss.
Mr.. Bryan has found the State De-
partment hard going. but has not
complained. On the contrary. he has
borne his experiences with the
patience and good humor that char
acterize a good sportsman. If Mr..
Wilson is reelected it is altogether
probable that Mr.. Bryan will remain

the most mountainous country in
Europe, only IS per cent of its terri
tory being in plains. OF these plains
the greater portion are those COM
prising Galicia, now the scene of Rus
sian operations. In practically every
direction the Italian forces operating
against Austria must work against
serious natural difficulties. Obvious
ly the objective points of Italian op-
erations are the areas which it is de-
sired to secure to Italy, notably
Trent. the southern part Of the Aus
trian Tyrol and Istria, containing
Trieste. Pola and Fiume. Austria S
seaports.
Dispatches have vaguely suggested
that large Austro-German army un-
der the command of Gen. Won Hin
denburg. is moving south through the
Tyrolian valleys to strike a heavy
blow at Italy before the latter can
concentrate "a sufficient number of
troops to permit an effective aggres-
sive against Austria. Several I'M
portant cities lie within comparative
ly short range of such an expedition,
it. indeed. it is under way. Brescia,
Verona. Nicenza. Padua and Venice
are all relatively near the Austrian
boundary. and at these points great
damage could be inflicted upon Italy
ii a large Teutonic force succeeded
in getting through the Alpine passes
into the Italian plains. For these rea-
sons it is to be expected that des
perate fighting will take place early
in the Austro-Italian campaign for
the possession of the natural gate
ways into Italy.

The New British Ministry.

The reorganization of the British
ministry has been effected in a man.
ner to promise complete harmony
among the political factions. The
fact of chief interest is the displace-
ment of Winston Churchill from the
admiralty and his delegation to an
unimportant post Next in Importance
is the retention of Kitchener, though
there has been little doubt of this at
anv time. notwithstanding the furious
assaults made upon him by certain
English interests opposed to his
methods in the conduct of the war.
The shifting of David Lloyd George
from the treasury to new office
charged with the supervision OF war
munitions is to be taken as COM
pliment to him rather than any re-
Election upon his fiscal administra-
ton. He is man of great energy
and marked administrative ability.
and these qualities will be highly
serviceable in the practical field of
munitions supply. The coalition
character of the cabinet is empha-
sized by the inclusion of Lord Lans-
downe, the unionist leader of the
house of lords, as minister without
portfolio.
The combination that has been ef-
fected is doubtless the strongest pos
sible in the circumstances. 1t rep
resents practically all shades of Brit
ish political opinion, and but for the
declination of Mr.. Redmond to enter
the ministry would have included the
Irish party. 1t accomplishes an ad-
justment of the admiralty problem,
though Mr.. Balfour, who has been
given this portfolio, has no particu-
larly special qualifications for that
technical position. His selection is
doubtless inspired by policy, to give
the unionist party the post of great
est responsibility short of that occu-
pied by Kitchener, who is non-par-
tisan

The Nebraskan.

If the American steamer Nebras-
kan was struck by German tor
pedo. while on her way in ballast
from Liverpool to Philadelphia. seri-
Gus offense has been given to the
United States by Germany. If, how
ever, the ship was damaged by a
floating mine there is no occasion for
American excitement over the af-
fair. 1t is necessary to wait for all
the facts, and in the meantime the
presumption must be that it was a
mine and not torpedo from a sub
marine that hit the Nebraskan, for
she was not carrying cargo, was COM
ing away from England and more
over was not seriously damaged, be-
ing merely puncturcd in the bows,
whereas a torpedo almost invariably
strikes amidships and makes hole
so large that the ship sinks quickly

The Soiourn.

Over the hills is peaceful vale,
Where the cattle Craze and dream,
And only the soft south winds prevail
Where the willows caress the
stream.
The birds sing low with tender trill
Of the cares that are left behind
By those who loiter in Lazyville
In the valley of Nevermind.
There are hills beyond and the way
is long,
Through many a passing storm.
And the time is brief for summer
song
Where the breezes are soft and
warm.
But here for moment the strife is
still,
And the world seems slow and kind,
And it's good to loiter in Lazyviile
In the valley Of Nevermind.
