full of ideas and new ways. Some of
them are good, others bad. The young
man can never. have the same slant
on such ideas that the man of rlpened
experience has. So every time a young
man gets new idea he takes it to the
old man, whom we call the filter If
the idea isn't good, or has weak spots,
it is killed at once. If it is good, the
older man perhaps adds to it or o. KS

Washington, Nov. 1.-(Special.) D.
Stupendous preparations to muster

of the United States to the Teutonic
victories over the Russian and

Legislation by congress authoriz-

maximum Of 100000 men.
Lowering the minimum draft age
to 10 and raising Of the maximum
draft age, possibly, to IS years.

armies, following closely upon the
military collapse of Russia, have
awakened the administration to the
realization that a much more agrees

over the misfortunes sustained by the
Entente cause in the last week, but
they left no doubt OF their renewed
determination to redouble the efforts
OF America.
All hope OF an early peace has been
dissipated. Government officials who
believed the leaven of discomfort was
working in Germany and that the
Prussian autocracy could not much

London, Nov. AL the British
guns with the Italian army were
saved, according to a British cores
pondent at Italian headquarters, who
says that the spirits OF the British
gunners are good. Lack of transport
which could not be allotted to them
was their whole trouble.
The correspondent. who accom-
panied the retreat OF the Third
italian army from the Carho, in a
dispatch. dated Tuesday. says the
troops were cheerful and that firm-
ness Of command could reorganize
them into a lighting forcs. The Duke
Of Aosta, commander of the Third
army, was calm and confident Mon
day night as his army had saved
nearly all its guns.
The right wing Of the second army
also fell back regularly from Sabotino
and Gorilla. Troops on the left OF
the Second army also were retiring
steadily from their mountain posi-
tions SO as to get into line with the
left OF the new defensive front.
Stores Are Destroyed.
The Italian general staff, the writer
says naturally. has, placed a ban on
all descriptions OF what happened
during the last few days, but has
permitted the sending OF a descrip-
ton Of the destruction of Italian
stores. The correspondent says:
The sky was constantly springing
into a liyid flare like an instantane-
Gus sunset, followed by a deep grumb-
ling roar. Black clouds OF smoke
were outlined against the glowing
heavens. Ammunition depots were
being blown up, stores were being
burned and bridges destroyed. The
glare of explosives gave light OF
CHASTITY brilliance over the throngs
of the retreating army.
A rainstorm which lasted three
hours added to the hardships, al
ready severe enough, and must have
meant death to many of those
while covering the retreat.
But ii delayed the enemy's advance
by swelling the rivers, softening the
ground and making air reconnais-
sances and bombing raids on congest-
ed roads and railways impossible.
Such are the outlines Of the story
Of which fuller details are not per-
mitted.
''The situation undoubtedly is
grave, but the silence which the
interests of the army now impose
must not be construed as an indica-
ton that things are worse than they
actually are. The blow has been
severe, but it will not crush Italy"
