preciate the role played by King
Victor in the greatest tragedy OF his
tory.
Act n was well under way before
Italy Joined the players and King
Victor with his tuft of rooster feath-
ers appeared from the wings. He
had frequently been mentioned in
the lines, and no sooner had he
strobe upon the stage than he and
the veteran actor Franz Josef came
to blows.
"Verona will fall before Gorizia,' y

and the play want on.
at was not until May of this year
that Italy declared war on Austria.
Immediately the Italian General
Staff outlined the following land

THE STANDPOINT OF ROME

and the 1bottling up or destruction o.
the Austrian feet.
On land today Italy faces the New
Year as the only one of the Allied
Powers whose main army is firmly
entrenched on the soil Of an enemy
On water the Duke of Abruzzi's fleet
lis supreme. The Austrian main
fleet, refuged in Pola harbor, refus-
ed the Italian challenge just as the
German fleet defies the British-in
the Kiel canal. Like Germany, Aus
|tria is unable to give safe convoy to
her own commerce.
With an army of more than O.
500, 900 men in uniform, with re-
serves of 1,750, 900 men between Is
and SO yet to be called to the colors,
with abundant equipment, especially
heavy artillery; backed by a splen-
did industrial mobilization capable
of feeding munitions for any emer-
|gency, Italy looks to the future with
the utmost confidence This feeling
was wildly reflected in the recent
utterances Of Baron Sonnino, Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs, in the cham
Der, in which he announced not only
Italy's agreement with the Allies not
to conclude a separate peace, but her
purpose to extend the campaign
across the Adriatic in support OF
stricken Serbia.
In answer to the latter pledge,
sc, 900 Italian troops have already
landed in Albania where pioneers
are busy at road-building and other
means of transport through the
painless mountains. Food and
clothing by the shipload are being
sent by the Italians for the Serbian
refugees.
Seven months of fighting along
the lines of the General Stats plan
of campaign have produced far
greater results than, the daily COM
muniques have indicated. On the
Isonzo front the offensive has reach
ed the stage where IAN Italian occu-
patton of the entire Istrian peninsu-
la. as we'll as effective thrusts
Northward and Eastward, is believ-
ed to be possible early in 1915.

struggles ON precipitous battle-
grounds. the Alpine troops, Bersag-
lieri and infantry with heavy artil-
lery, sometimes drawn up the noun
tainsides with ropes, have battered
fort after fort into dust, stormed and
captured hitherto inpregnable Aus
trian defenses, and consolidated the
conquered crags and valleys against
a successful counter offensive. The
floodgates of invasion for which Aus
tria had been preparing since 1856
and which she has boosted would
give her the city of Verona before
Italy could reach Gorilla, are now
closed against her with double bar
and lock.
Weeks of desperate fighting
against terrific odds were sometimes
required by the Italians to take a
single fortress or position in this
phase Of the campaign.
While this was going on, the Sec
ond part of the General Staff plan
was being executed in the Isonzo
valley. On June 2 King victor's
armies crossed the Isonzo. On June
g, Monfalcone fell to Gen. Cadorna.
Two days later Gradisca had suc-'-
cumbed and the Austrians retreated
to Gorilla. On July Z, the bridge
head at Gorilla was reached by the
Italians, where for FIVE months the
.ebb and flow of battle had soaked
the soil with Italian and Austrian
blood. A general advance over the
entire front from Tolmino to Mon
falcone July 20 still found Cadorna's
troops before Gorilla locked in the
death struggle.
Gorizia's loss would mean Sc
we're blow to Austria and all means
are employed to defend it. Rein
.forcements were brought from Ca
licia, and it was only, the timely arr
rival Of German regiments on one
occasion that saved the Austrians
from disastrous rout in the sectoi
north of PLAYA.
During the latter days OF Novem-
Der, the Austrian resistance at Go.
rizia began to weaken. December ]
found the city invested from three
sides, the surrounding fortresses
pounded to fragments by Italian
howitzer and the town defended by
only single line of trenches. Ital-
ian shells of heavy calibre were
ploughing the streets.
The fall of Gorilla would give
General Cadorna's troops access to
all the roads leading toward villach
to the North, Laibach to the East,
and Trieste to the South. The in.
vestment of Trieste would mean an
expeditions occupation of the Is
trian peninsula, including Pola. ref
uge of the Austrian fleet.

to year, and especially the present
period, when the foreign war has alb
sorbed all interest in opera in Europe
and Italy. and sent so many splendid
singers ~scurrying to American shores.
The foreign contracts held by many
distinguished opera artists have been
lamentably interfered with and they
have hurried to America for engage
ments, with the result that there are
several of these upon the roster of
principals OF the organization to be
heard here next week.
Nine. Mary Kaestner, the German
dramatic soprano. formerly of the I'M
perial Opera. Vienna, is coming. Nine.
Maddalena Carreno. noted mezzo from
old world opera centers, and a cele-
brated stage beauty, will be here.
Salazar, the Spanish sensation, and the
golden-voice Battistini of Italy, now
making his initial American tour.
Signor Corallo, 1taly's latest and most
promising young tenor, is coming to
sing Edgar in Lucia. There are sew
erai others, but the price of print
paper, zinc, labor, composition and the
hundred and one elements that enter
into the makeup of real newspaper
like The Forum, will scarcely permit
elaboration upon the numerous stars
who will regale local opera enthusiasts
with feast Of song at the Auditorium

ASK
Law ON
PROBLEM
IF Inquiry Reveals Perpet-
ual Franchise, Legislature
Will be Appealed To

II have not looked into the matter
any further, but I am still OF the
opinion that even if this old franchise
Is in force, and Is perpetual. the mat
ter can be changed by the legislature"
said City Attorney w. II. Shure to-
day, relative to the status Of the
franchises held by the Union Light,
Heat & Power Co.
Mr. Shure believes the proper course
would be the presentation to the next
legislature Of q bill making sure OF the
proposition. and there is a plan under
way at the present time for this step
IL further, Investigation reveals the
fact that there is such a thing as a
perpetual and exclusive franchise.
The resolution presented to the city
commission last Wednesday by the
Fargo Trades and Labor assembly,
asking that the one franchise of the
light company which expires In July.
1918. be not renewed, and the ques-
tions that have arisen relative to the
franchise held by the company, are
being discussed generally.
Arguments for and against munic-
ipal ownership have taken preference
over other topics locally.
Two candidates for seats on the
city commission have declared for
municipal ownership. These are ]. J.
Jordan, former commissioner OF po-
lice, and c. A. Grettum. who recently
declared himself o. candidate.
