Piled to the Italian. at tho present juno,

piled to the italians at tho present juno
ture.
| Though the situation Is extremely
critical from the military as well as
the political standpoint, it is not one
without hope in so far as the Italians are
concerned.
Gen. Cadorna will make stand along
the historic Tagliamento river. which
wends its way down from the Venetian
| Alps to the Adriatic. For centuries it
has been considered the chief natural
wall insuring Italian safety against Aus
trian aggression. At this season its wa
| tiers are difficult to traverse. In addi-
! tion to this natural obstacle to Germanlc
success, the line of the Tagliamento has
been fortified and made ready for some
such emergency as exists today Just as
the French profited by their knowledge
of the military value of the Marne re-
gions, just SO may the Italians be ex-
pected to utilize to the fullest their
strategical plans prepared about the
Tagliamento terrain.
If Italy is to halt the enemy, now that
he has pushed down upon the plains
from mountain Businesses where Gen.
Cadorna believed he had best chance of
continued success. it must be here; other
v;oa <ha Tou<ops ,,oy oont;nua %bo;r
advance through Venice to the south
ward. as well as bring grave menace to
the 1talian armies operating on the
Trentino front to the westward
The Italians reasonably may be ex-
pected to remove large forces from the
comparatively inactive line of the Tren-
tino. if the hinted German drive in this
region does not materialize almost i'm
mediately. The distance not being great,
this move could be carried out with dis
patch. 1t is believed in Rome that the
main Austrian endeavor is directed from
the northeast, and that even after trans
ference Of large forces from the Tren-
tino there will remain there sufficient
numbers of men to combat any enemy
diversion in this region
The Italians face difficulty in firmly
establishing themselves along their new
line ahead of the enemy, the Germans
now pressing down from the Carnic
Alps. a movement threatening to turn the
northern wing of Gen. Cadorna's armies
resting on the Tagliamento. France and
Great Britain are rushing aid to their
endangered ally. Italy needed guns be-
fore the present drive started. She
needs artillery doubly now in view
of enemy captures of countless heavy
pieces in the mountains. Should the
allies have already dispatched great
weight of artillery and munitions there
is added hope that the Germans will be
checked before progressing much further
on the plains of Italy.
The great test is but matter of hours
removed. Whether Italy's confidence in
the ultimate result is well grounded is
to be decided. Germany is fight
ing to eliminate Italy from the
war and bolster waning courage at
home, thereby strengthening the hands
Of the extreme militarists who wish to
war on and on until great annexations
and tremendous indemnities are exacted.
A greater success than mere military vic
tory might be scored by the Teutons in
Italy. The entente realizes this and
will bend every effort to end the pres
ent peril to Italian armies and aspira-
tions.

If Germany has anything on record
in the patent Office that this country
can use, no time should be lost in tax
ing possession Of the formulas. When
treaties are dismissed as mere scraps of
paper the sanctity of trade agreements
fades. And the German agents are at
present industriously engaged in trying
to discover and circumvent or steal any
thing American inventors may produce.

Liquors Last Day in Washington.

This is the last day of liquor selling
in Washington. At IL o'clock tonight
the new law takes effect which prohibits
the sale Of all forms of intoxicants in
the National Capital under severe pen
alties. This law was passed by Con-
gress without reference to the wishes
of the people. but was in response to q
demand by large number of the in
habitants. 1t was not passed hastily,
but was the result of extended consid
Grafton by both houses. In any case, it
will be the law after midnight, and it
must be obeyed and enforced fully and
in the spirit of its enactment.
For some years Washington has been
going dry. Certain zones Of prohibition.
long established, have been extended and
multiplied. The number of saloons has
been reduced The license tax has been
materially increased. A board has been
established to administer the excise law
with large powers and with greater re-
strictions placed upon the sale of liquor.
1t is thus logical development to pass
from this partial prohibition and greater
restriction to absolute prohibition, and
the shock of the new condition is, there
fore, not so great as though the new
law had been enacted dozen years ago
when the sale Of intoxicants was much
freer than it has been recently.
Two Of the leading arguments
against the enactment Of prohibition
for the District have been overcome by
circumstances not connected with this
departure. One was that the sudden
stopping of the liquor traffic would
throw a large number of people out Of
employment and thus cause serious
industrial dislocation. The war has ere
ated sudden demand for labor, so that
those who are deprived Of their occu-
pations by the Sheppard law will doubt
less in short time find employment in
other lines. There is today no lack Of
opportunity for able-bodied persons de-
string to work to secure remunerative
employment.
The other argument was that prohibi-
tion would >eut off an immense sum Of
money from the District revenues and
thereby cripple the capital financially
or add to the taxpayers already heavy
burden. But the intangible property tax
law, recently enacted, will bring in near
ly twice the revenue lost in liquor
licenses, and the logic Of the situation
is to decrease, and not to increase, real
estate taxation. Thus in respect to both
the labor question and the matter Of
finance the enactment and enforcement
of this prohibition statute come at
time to effect the least possible dis
turbance Of economic conditions.
A full, vigorous and unceasing en-
forcement of the new law will undoubt
edly make Washington better, happier,
more prosperous city. Completely sur
rounded, as it will be after today, by
dry territory in Virginia and Maryland,
as result Of the enactment of prohibi-
tion for Prince Georges county in the
latter state, it will be impossible, save
through violation of the law, to buy
intoxicating beverages within the range
of the average person. That this viii
make for happier homes and greater
comfort and better provision for fam
lilies, a lessening of the charity demands
and reduction of work for court and
Jan, ana altogether a more wholesome
community, is assured

Discussions Of idle wealth have often
caused economists to raise the question
of whether mans money is his own to
spend as he chooses. In time of war
the negative side of the proposition
comes forward with great strength.
The American dollar is frankly meeting
its more serious responsibilities.

Every lover of art must shudder at
the suggestion that Italy may be left at
the mercy of the Huns. Italy has been
despoiled in the past, but the works
of art were still objects of care, although
they found new homes. In this war a
lust for wanton destruction has taken
the place of covetousness.

LOVE MAKES SOME CHANGE
Engaged Man Always Wishes to Have
His Fiancee Conventional, but
Never Freakish.

So long as he looks upon woman as
an amusing curiosity, man is rather
glad to have her wear queer garments
and do unconventional things for his
diversion, says Mary Margaret Nc
Bride in The Columbia Times.
But just you wait until he falls in
love-" she continues. "At once he be-
comes a different creature. The prunes
and prisms Of cOnventiOnality begin to
hedge him round, and before anybody
knows what has happened to him, he
Is laying down a whole category of
don'ts for the poor feminine thing who
Is blessed with his lordly love. No
longer does it strike him as different.
He wishes her to be cut from the
same cloth as all the rest of them, and
he looks upon himself as a mistreated
individual if she isn't. All of which is
merely another way of saying there
isn't any such animal as a modern
man."

People Kept in Ignorance.

The western districts Of the vilayet
of MOnastir and a large part of that
of KOssovo are inhabited by a race
wilder and more primitive than any
to be found in Europe-the Albanians.
Very little is known of this strange
and interesting people, save thac they
speak an Indo-EurOpean tongue, but do
not belong to any of the recognized
groups Of the Aryan family. 1t is
probable that they are descended from
the ancient nlyrians, who were driven
westward by the advancing waves of
Slavs. Their language, like the people
themselves, is wild and lawless, and
has practically no literature. Even
the popular songs are very few. The
Turkish government has deliberately
kept them in a state Of barbarism and
ignorance, and makes use of them to
overawe the neighboring peoples.

Old AnnIe Still Fresh.

Apples may come and apples may
go, but this one goes on forever. This
may be said of an apple belonging to
George NJ. Reade, of st. Paul, Mimi,
which he picked from a tree in New
York in 1868.
Mr.. Reade lived on a farm in COrt-
land county, N. Y, when a boy. One
day, just for amusement, he climbed
one of his fathers apple trees, picked
the largest apple he could find and
stuck cloves In it, says an exchange.
1t was merely an experiment, he
said. He had heard of preserving ap-
pies by putting cloves In them, but
thought it only joke.
He gave the apple to his mother, and
when she died and some goods were
shipped to him In Minnesota, the apple
was found among them, sound and still
fragrant from the spice.
"This apple" Mr.. Reade said, 'has
been from New York to Dakota, and
from Tennessee to Minnesota. 1t has
always been exposed to the air. 1t will
is as shiny and wholesome looking as
when pulled 1t from the tree. Fifty
years old, 1t still is fit for SALE"
