eraI CadOrna, the Italian
Chief of Staff.

ROME, July 29.-COmplying with a
request from the Associated Press, the
Italian authorities have prepared a
statement reviewing the last year Of
war from the Italian viewpoint AL
though the anniversaries that are
marked by the early days OF August
close the second year of the war for
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia,
France and Great Britain. Italy has
only little more than passed the first
anniversary OF its participation in the
conflict, which began May %, 1915.
But in the view Of the Italian authori-
lies, Italy's alignment with the En-
tente powers has been no small factor

In the statement officially prepared

who is declared to have conducted his
campaign against Austria with view
to rendering the greatest possible aid
to the Entente Allies. 1t is asserted
that the early reyerses Of the Russians
might have run into complete disaster
II Italy had not just at the time Of the
Russian retreat entered the conflict
and forced Austria to employ a vast
number Of its troops on the southern
boundaries. Further, the ofensives
which the Italians have launched from
time to time rendered it impossible for
Austria to carry out its purpose OF
sending troops and artillery either to

the aid of the German crown prince
for the attack on Verdun or to fight the
Russians.
AS given out, the Italian statement
reads as follows:
THE war which Italy is fighting
with It's allies is imperfectly UNDER
stood abroad in It's ideals as well as in
It's technical development, thus need
ing explanations even after a year Of
ltaly's participation in the conflict
For Ten Months,
when the European war began
Italy held back for ten months, re-
speeding the alliance which for a third
Of a Gentry had bound it 10 the Central
empires But longer than this 1t could
not disregard the call Of the Entente
powers. They were fighting for
principle Of nationality 10 which Italy
is Indebted for It's existence. They were
fighting for principles Of law and JUS
tice Of which Italy has been an expon-
ent since the time Of the Romans
Furthermore Italy could no longer
delay solution Of the question Of the
Italian provinces that were still sub
jcct to persecution by Austria. 1t was
imperative that Italy should contest
the frontier imposed by Austria after
the war Of 1866 which gave its north
ern neighbors possession OF all the
gates and passes leading into Italy. 1t
was imperative also that Italy should
gain supremacy In the Adriatic, with
out which it could never be said 10
enjoy liberty and peace in full security.
Although unpreparod for war, we
fortunately possessed in General Cad
orna powerful organizer and a caut-
ious strategist Taking the Italian
army on its modest peace footing as
backbone, he transformed H. through
miracles Of energy and military
science, into a powerful. efficient, bril-
liant modern army, which on May a.
1915, the day after war was declared
on Austria, suddenly threw itself
across the whole frontier into the
cnemy's territory
Advantage Gnincd.
In doing this General Cadorna won
two principal advantages; first. he
gained the initiative; secondly he
made Austria the scene Of the warfare.
Throughout the campaign Cadona
aimed 10 render his allies the greatest
possible services.
Italy began its operations just at
the time when the Russians were
obliged to retreat The strong army
Cadorna threw across the northern
border mcnacing Austria may have
saved that Russian retreat from
complete disaster Similarly. when
the Germans attacked Vcrdun, Cadorna
started a strong offensive along the
Ismzo river. which prevented Austria
from sending to the aid Of the German
crown prince large numbers Of troops
and artillery which had been prepared
for that purpose.
Equal advantages have recently
been obtained by Austria's temporary
invasion Of a small section Of the Ital- .
ian Trcntino front in the Asiago dis
trict II Austria had not coniorcd all
its forces in this enterprise il would
have been much more difficult for
Russia 10 launch the marvellous Of
fcnsive which it is now conducting
Prohting by the situation. General
Cadorna attacked the Austrians so
encrgctcaly that their removal from
the Alps to the Carpathans to fgh
the Russians has been out OF the Ques-
ton.

or had not come into general use.
For example, it is the rule today,
but was the exception a genera
ton ago, for the excavation or
cellar to extend under the entire
house. And it costs a lot of mon
ey to dig holes in the ground, to
say nothing of deep brick, stone
or concrete foundation walls and
extensive concrete basement or
cellar floors.
"In the modern house there
must be a heating plant for
steam, hot water or hot air; in
the old days houses were heated
with fireplaces and stoves. The
modern house also must have an
extensive and expensive system
of water and gas piping, electri-
cal wiring and lighting and cook
ing fixtures. In earlier days such
conveniences were not in general
use, kerosene lamps being the
accepted means of lighting.
"The most expensive room in
the home Of today is the bath
room, with all the system of pip
ing and enamel fixtures. When
was a boy our bathtub was tin
and hung on the back porch, and
we kids fought over the kitchen
stove for a hot water supply
every Saturday night.
"Other expensive features of
home building today, not usually
figured in the cost Of building
a generation ago, are the double
floor, the top one Of deliberately
finished hardwood; sheating and
papering under the weather

verandas and porches; built-in

MODERN C~ONvENIENCES

In Present Day Home Building
Lumber is the least Expensive

In Present Day Home Building
Lumber is the least Expensive
If rural dwellers hesitate to un-
dertake the erection of new
homes or other farm buildings
because of the city reports of
"The high cost of lumber" they
would do we'll to investigate a
little. They would be surprised
to find that in the last twenty
five years the price of lumber
has not advanced nearly so much
as have the prices of other nee
essities, such as farm products.
It is true that the modern home
Of frame construction usually
costs considerably more today
than it did twenty-five years
ago, but the increase is not due
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1916-02-25
to higher lumber prices.

Here's a remarkable fact
about modern home building"
said a well known Kansas City
architect the other day: "The
lumber used nowadays in the
building of a m~edium-priced
frame residence represents less
than twenty-five per cent of the
total cost. Impossible? Not at
all, just plain fast; and I'll ex-
plain why,
more than seventy-fve per
cent of the cost of home building
today is taken up by the fittings,
finishing and equipment that go
to make the modern home mod
ern,' Lumber prices have little
or nothing to do with increased
building cost-in fact, some Of
the lumber used in building today
costs less than it did twenty-five
years ago; shingles for instance.
Furthermore, lumber mill pro-
ducts have greatly reduced the
cost of actual construction these
days, as twenty-five years ago
sashes and doors were made by
the carpenters employed in
building a house, and the making
consumed much time and labor
now such things are turned out
by mill machinery and at small
cost.
"a medium priced modern
house Of today costing, say, SO,
500, would have cost at least 40
per cent less twenty-five, thirty
or forty years ago, not because
of lower prices Of lumber then.
but because modern convenience
now a part OF every modern
home, were either not invented

tries, mirrors and dust chutes, to
say nothing of fancy hardware
for fittings and cut or pressed
glass in light fixtures and inte-
rior doors. In earlier times our
fathers bought wardrobes and
clothes closets at the cabinet
makers, just as they bought
stoves and lamps at the hard
ware Dealers
"There has not in many years
been a better time to build any
sort of frame structures than
this season, both on account of
the moderate price and excep-
Itionably high quality Of grades
of lumber. Take Southern Vel
low pine, for instance, one of the
most useful building woods be-
cause it is perfectly suited for
framing and for exterior and in
terror finish. In normal times
enormous quantities of Southern
pine are shipped to Europe and
other foreign markets, but the
war has materially curtailed that
trade, with the result that the
Southern mills and the lumber
yards all over the country are
carrying unusually large stocks
of the best product of the yellow
pine forests. Anyone cOntem-
plating building can very readily
learn by asking a lumber dealer
to quote prices that the cost of
lumber these days is not I'M
reasonably high, and a little fig
uring will show that it's not tbs
lumber that makes modern con-
veniences, of course, and We
would rather pay the price thar

Something New Under the Sun

Something New Under the Sun
Said the wisest man Of the ages,
There's nothing new under the sun,
All has been vexation Of spirit,
Ever since this old world begun"
Methinks had he lived in the present,
His judgment of things he would
Change,
If indeed Ger all our wide country,
His vision unbiased would range.
Could he have seen How, in Chicago,
Just only two short years ago,
There started this great baby move
ment,
We have seen so rapidly grow.
AS a volume of mighty waters,
Gathers force with its onward rush,
As the great storm breaks in wild
fury,
Just after the most silent hush.
So this new thought and care for
babies
In every ones heart has grown,
Till from end to end Of our nation
Has baby come into his own.
On this conservation of babies
VIII our great nations future depend
For they'll be the fathers and mothers
When our generation shall end.

And their minds be trained for tn,
