Popularity Apart From Politics.
MIR. Roosevelt has faults and fail
lient and diversified character. But,
having his quarrel just, his force is
tremendous. His multiform enga ging
personality, which gives him a popu-
larity entirely apart from politics, his
deep democratic feeling, nourished by
innumerable contacts with all sorts of
people; his long, various education in
men and nature and books; his hu-

edge on commonplace; his mastery of
crowds, the passion of his American
ism; as Rufus Choate said of John
Quincy Adams, his 'unerring instinct
for the iugular vein,' make him in a
good cause, an unrivaled compe1ler of
men.
HE will never have a better cause
than that which the Times invites him
to preach on the circuit. He has had
his fill of glories. His name is blown
against war, to unite America in pa
triotism; there are no nobler laurels.

made public by the war office indicate that the great Italian offensive against Trieste has been brought to a decisive halt after fighting of the most intense character and the enemy is now conducting a defensive battle form Gorozia to the sea.
 The statement declares that the Austrians have definitely checked the Italian offensive at all points between the Adriatic and the heights south of Gorizia despite a determined offensive of mammoth proportions. The Ital- ians are declared to have employed three hundred and twenty thousand men in their attempts to shattere the Austrian defense but could make no headway against the impregnable front thrown across their path. The fighting is declared to be the bloodiest that has occurred on the west Aus trian front with the enemy suffering terrific losses in every attack.
