BASE MENACED
English and Italian Moni-
tors Are Within Eight
Miles of Pola.-

The Italian Embassy learned yes

operating South on the Adriatic
coast from Trieste. They are within
eight miles OF Pola. where the Aus
trian feet lies bottled up.
The feet. consequently. faces de-
struction by the great guns of the
monitors or the chance of battle in

Meanwhile the land offensive pro-
ceeds with the most violent fighting.
Monte San Gabrielle and the defenses
OF the Brestoyizza valley alone stand
between the Italians and progress
along the level stretches of the Carso
plateau. German reinforcements. the
dispatches received yesterday state,
are being defeated as easily as the
Austrians. The Embassy gives no in
formation Of the army supposed to
be pushing towards Vienna.
Text of Dispatch.
The dispatch reads:
THE battle about Monte San Ga
briele and the Brestivizza Valley con-
tinues with the greatest violence. The
Austrian army is here making the
blCdltoN ltslSldlNC 70 save lHtSc
strong points, the loss of which would
entail the development OF the Aus
trian wing and the opening to the
Italians Of the underlying fiat country.
'Reinforcements are being con-
stantly brought up from all the in
ternal garrisons Of Austria-Hungary
which have now been reduced to about
one-third OF their wartime electives.
In spite OF this, the Austrians seem
not able to hold their lines and Ger
man troops are now defending the
greatest portion OF the Carso sector.
But these troops are being as easily
defeated as were the Austrians.
According to the Vienna Fremden-
blatt, the Austrian Emperor is doing
everything in his power to raise the
morale of his troops by going all over
the front and reaching even the first
line trenches.
News from Hungary places the
Austrian losses thus far as at l25, 900
men and $500 officers Further infor-
nation from these interesting Hun
garian sources contain the rumor that
Gen. Koervess will be appointed COM
mander-in-chief of the Austrian forces
TO succeed Boreovic, who is held re-
sponsible for the Austrian defeat.
From Swiss sources comes the first
intimation that the Anglo Italian mon
itors have extended their operations
much farther south OF Trieste than
was at first supposed.
The Italian general command in
Albania Is proceeding with the de-
velopment of the occupied region. Vast
tracts have been cultivated with
cereals by all the available troops
Time has been taken to carefully
prune the abundant olive trees OF the
region, assuring a good crop for next

 Hopes for World Federation.
 The grand alliance between the United States and the democracies of Europe against autocratic aggression as practiced by Germany gives rise to the hope that the war will lead to g. federation of the world, in the opinion of Walter Lippmann of New York, associate editor of the ''New Repub- lic," expressed in an address on "Amerlca's Relations to the World Conflict
 ''I know it sounds a little old fashioned to use that phrase, the federation of the world," said MT. Lppmann, because we have used it so long in empty rhetoric. But no other idea is big enough to describe the alliance. It is no longer an offensive-defensive military agreement among diplomats. It is growing into a union of peoples determined to end forever that intriguing. adventurous nationalism which has torn the world for three centuries.
 'The war is dissolving into a stu- pendous revolution. A few months ago we still argued about the Bagdad corridor, strategic frontiers, colonies. These were the stakes of the diplo- mats war. The whole prospective is changed today by the revolution in Russia and the intervention of America. The scale of values is trans formed, for the democracies are un- loosed.
 We are at war to defeat the Ger man government, to destroy it's pres tige, to deny it's conquests, and to throw it back at last into the arms of the German people, marked and dis credited as the author of their miseries. It is for them to make the final settlement with 1t.

HIT IN THE PURSE.
Grand Dukes Turn Over More Than
 10000. .OOO Acres.

Petrograd, April 2O.-The Russian Grand Dukes, who have just formally turned over their "appanages." or official grants, to the new government, have made 8 great financial sacrifice by this renunciation. The grand ducal estates surrendered aggregate more than 20,000,000 acres. including thousands of prosperous farms and many thriving towns and villages. The annual income from these estates is estimated at over 25,OOO,OOO rubles.
 The imperial appanages," before the serfs were liberated, controlled over SOO,OOO agricultural laborers. Emperor Paul I. set aside these vast estates for the benefit of the grand dukes because he forsaw the necessity of making the imperial family finan cially independent of the reigning emperor. Grand dukes who have at various times incurred the displeasure of the emperor and have exiled them selves, have always continued to re- ceive their share of the appanages, with which the emperor was power less to interfere.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes 8 Genuine Rem- edy for the Disease Has
 Been Found.

oc0n EOUuO.
 Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co. and all druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poison ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: 1T have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and heartily recom- mend 1t as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em- ployed in the treatment of rheuma- tisn. and altogether different in com- position from the remedies usually prescribed.' d.''-Dr. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
