possible importance of the Italian bat
tie front. In the United States and
probably elsewhere Cadorna's part in
the war has been regarded largely as
incidental and not decisive, within
any range of probability. In fact, we
have thought of Italy being mainly
useful In keeping a considerable num-
Der of Austria's forces engaged.
1t appears too, that the German
high command has discounted the Inn
portance ofthe Italian offensive, for
recently it was reported that Won
Hindenburg refused to send German
aid to his Austrian ally In spite of
the fact that the dual monarchy was
being forced out of vital positions.
In connection with this phase OF
the campaign, Napoleon's statement
that the proper way to defeat, Ger
many was through Austria-over this
identical routes recalled. the ma
iority of experts today adhere to the
theory that the war will be won on
the western front-in France and
Belgium-but it is undeniable that
more attention is being paid to ltaly's
part in the struggle, particularly
since Russia has been eliminated as
a real factor for an indefinite period
than ever before. Should the Italian
pressure force Austria to submit, Ma
poleon's strategy will have proved
correct in the twentieth as well as the
century.
Mr.. Frank H. Simonds, Americas
foremost war critic, discusses the
Italian phase of the war in the cur
rent issue of the Review of Reviews.
In describing the situation on the Aus
front today, he says:
This front is sort OF magnified
little gate between
the sea and the impossible Alps which
the Austrians have held against great
numbers with relatively small effec-
tives for more than three years. AS
the Austrians retreat they will leave
the gate and the Italians will have
wider and wider front on which to
use their vastly superior numbers.
This means that it will require larger
and larger Austrian numbers to de
fend the front as the Italians press on
If the Italians once get
through the gate then the Austrian
predicament is unmistakable, for Aus
tria lacks men for a wide 'front.'
Mr.. Simonds points out that Aus
tria is the weak link in the German
chain and Italy is taking the place
of Russia, which early in the war was
more than a match for the dual mon-
archy. The allies, he says, have just
begun to appreciate Italy's difficult
ties and not until recently have they
been willing to lend her the aid she
asked for and needed. Meanwhile
Gen. Cadorna has pounded away in
cessantly and at last is receiving the
credit his brilliant strategy has earn

Kodiak, The Ancient Village.
with Apologies)

BY the shining northern water,
On the shores of the Pacific,
Far to northward, far to westward,
Lay the little town of Kodiak.
Lay that ancient Russian village,
Fairest town of all that region.
Fairest of Alaskan hamlets,
Beauteous, so that all admired,
Looked and loved and longed to live
there
Dark behind it rose the hill-slope
Covered with its robe of emerald,
Covered with it's robe of ermine,
One for summer, one for winter
With the changing of the seasons.
And the bosom of the hillside
Wore an ugly scar upon it.
Like a gorge or like a canyon,
Was the scar wrought by the earth
quake.
And the old men and the women
Told of when the wound was made
there,
When the hand of nature made it
BY the power of the earthquake.
To the eastward lay the forest,
Where the ever verdant spruce tree
Rose full stately on the hill-slopes.
On the margins of the small lakes,
In the valleys and the lowlands.
Bright before it beat the waters
In a bay of the Pacific.
Beat upon the shore of pebbles.
Beauteous lay the town-between them
Tween the hill and shore and forest.
Beauteous as Queen of Orient,
Prim as maiden from New England,
Perfect, so that all would love her,
Love the beauteous town of Kodiak.
Nay, even love the name of Kodiak.
Painted white were all the houses,
White and cleaning in the sunlight.
Cheerful white on days of rainfall.
White like snow in days of winter,
Very fair and very wondrous.
And the roofs with red and green
painted,
Stained with crimson, dyed with scar
let,
Gorgeous so the world would notice,
So the world would much admire,
Much would praise the white and
crimson
OF the houses of fair Kodiak,
Village of the painted houses.
In this ancient Russian village
Dwell strong and mighty people.
Lived the tribes of men of power,
Dusky Aleut fairer Creole.
And the dominant Uncle Sam
Lord of land and ocean.
Dwell they there or still are dwelling
In fair Kodiak, beloved.
Most beautiful of all the hamlets
In the great Alaskan country,
In that country far to northward,
In that realm of pretty hamlets,
Fairest of them all is Kodiak,
Dearest Kodiak! best beloved!

"SKYLINE" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps Said to Be Cheaper and More Effi-
 cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of oregon and Washington skyline" method of log ging Is growing much cheaper and more efficient than the former method of dragging out logs from the forest by a donkey engine and cables operating on the ground, says Popular Mechan- ics Magazine. The skyline plan is to run cable through blocks or pulfeys suspended at n great height on giant trees, so as to form a sort of trolley line by which the logs are hoisted Into the air and then hauled over the tops of ordinary trees and other obstruc- tions 10 the rollway, where they are loaded aboard freight cars for ship ment.
 The donkey engine which operates the skyline has five drums, including two for main lines and two for trip lines The top cable, from which the log is suspended, is one of the main lines while the other Is used to haul the log. In operation the top cable Is lowered with its block, or pulley, directly over the log to be picked up: 1t Is then pulled taut, raising the log with 1t by means of "chOker," or steel tongs In the air log can, of course, be moved much faster than on the ground.
