We SHALL SACRIFICE MUCH. BUT
WE SHALL SERVE MORE.

The worlds future, as well as this
country hangs upon the war upon
which We have entered The finite
mind cannot grasp the full meaning of
this situation. We are moved by forces
beyond our power to comprehend, but
We know that the most desperate bar
barism which has cursed civilization
since mankind emerged from the Darl.
Ages, when the Huns of old drank
from the skulls of their murdered car
itives, makes it impossible for the hui
man mind to conceive anything equal
to the situation which we are con-
fronting.
Let us not minimize the situation.
Let us not for moment imagine that
tie task upon which we have entered
will not be vast enough to call forth
every latent power of the nation.
We must produce in foodstuffs and
manufactures, we must transport by
rail and river, we must finance, we
must fight. beyond all that has ever
entered into the heart of man to con-
ceive Upon our doing this depends
not alone our existence as a nation, but
the future of the whole world. In this
mighty contest all the forces of civil
cation of every country on earth arc
involved, and we fight against the
power of Evil which finds expression
! in a mighty fighting machine, the out

preparation, but a century or more Of
preliminary work which was the pro-
Queer of the last half year of specific

1t would be vain decision to mag

the contest. They are relatively strong

they were year ago to meet the bal

THE ITALIAN REGENERATION.

L
While the rest of the world looks o.
with more or less establishment, th'
italian columns which for months hav'
apparently been languishing in utmost
lidleness. are delivering smashing
drives against the last defense of Tri-
este. the Austrian naval base on the
Adriatic sea. Starting their operations
few weeks ago, after having been
content for long period to merely
hold their positions along the Julian
front, the Italian generals have made
more progress in less than a monta
than had been recorded in more than a
year previous.
Whether the successes scored by the
Italian forces are due solely to their
increased efficiency and improved NOR
ale, or whether the Austrian defenders
of the Julian line are growing faint
hearted at the prospect of eventual de-
feat and the probable ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the Austro- Hungarian nation, can
only be conjectured in view of the lack
of reliable information from the inside.
Certain it is that Austria is just at
present in the middle of as bad a fix
as ever kept a natl n on the anxious
seat, for which the fall of Trieste, her
naval operations in the Mediterranean
must necessarily dwindle to the point
of negligibility.
1t is equally certain that Italy's mil
itary economic systems have been
thoroughly overhauled within the past
few months. Commissions comprised
Of the abIest economists and organizers
have been sent to Italy by the Allies in
the hope of bolstering up her som =
what inefficient fighting machine.
That this task has been satisfac-
torily accomplished is evidenced by the
renewed energy displayed by Victo"
Emmanuel's forces in the field and the
much improved economic conditions
prevailing throughout the nation.
Italy's part in the world war prom
ises to be of greater importance thar
has been conceded by. even the most
sanguine observers, for which with
every victory gained over her ancient
enemy, Austria, the threatened disrup-
ton of the Austro-German alliance IS
brought nearer, for Austria cannot
long withstand series of sledge-ham
mer blows directed at her very vitals.

POPULATION OF JERUSALEM
REDUCED ABOUT go PERCENT

CAIRO, Egypt, May ga family OF
refugees from Thipoli, Syria, has just
arrived here, having escaped from
Turkish territory in boat of their
own manufacture The boat was con-
structed entirely at night, being built
inside their house with the utmost
acrecy. AS soon as completed, it was
launched late one evening on rough
sea. Tie journey to place of safety
was terrible one, the occupants OF
the boat being much of the time Waste
deep in water and escaping sinking
only through tireless and persistent
bailing.
according to information brought by
this family, the population of Jerusa-
len. mas been reduced about so per cent
since t.e war Smaller villages, par
ticulariy on the northern coast of Lee
bannon Rave only one-seyenth of their
old population left, the remaider hav-
ing only one-seventh of their old pop
uiaticn left, the remainder having eth
er died or emigrated to the interior to
escape starvation.
This years crop in Syria is estimat.
ed at only % per cent the normal aver
age The price of bread in Bayrout is
about 80 cents pound. or 81 pound
in paper money.
