AMERICA PROMISED LAND.

A writer in the New Republic
saws that among soldiers who re-
turned % Europe from this country
to participate in the war the desire
to 20 back to America is so intense
as to be almost painful. think that
many of the Italians, genuinely
honesick for the States, have a
deepcy feeling for the East Side rag
time than for the martial music OF
Italy Among the classes who have
not seen America, who know Of 1t only
as "the promised land an even
keencr anxiety to try 4 hazard 81
new fortunes in the world TO the
Vest prevails. In all the southeast
hinterland Of Europe--in Greece.
Albania, Austria Hungary, Serbia,
Bohemia, and Lithuania-'the heart
of the plain people leaps when the
name of America is mentioned.
As the Washington Herald says,
we cannot blame them. If Americans
had been living in a channel-houSe
for three years, if they had seen the
pick of their manhood destroyed,
their cities laid low. and their ma
tional stock Of vitality ebbing to the
point of exhaustion, they might cast
envious eyes towards Australia, OF
New Zealand. or some South Sea Is
land far from the whitening quo
OF the angel Of war. Men and women
with broken hearts and broken lives
do not worry much over their formal
obligations to their native land. And
the sorrowing peoples of Europe
will yearn to so where more whole
some lives await them, even If they
have 10 leave forever the lands Of
their fathers.

ICE CREAM IN PERIL

In these days of food CONSERVATISM
and meatlcss ana wheatless days 1t Is
suggested that the price Of butter
and milk might be lowered by ahstI-
from ice cream. We Know
that this hint will not meet with
scady adoption, especially by the
n element. who naturally en-
;oy cxhilarating conversations while
discussing this popular connection,
but liStcal
The Christian Science Monitor says
The manufacture of 81 much ice
cream is one reason why butter IS 50
hi"h. Lock at the growth Of the
soda fountain business the last few
years. TO supply this enormous de-
nard, ice cream factories are spring
ING up everywhere. frequently in til"
,.eamerics themselves. and much but
ter fat that used to 20 into the but
ie?. churn is now going into the Ice
cream mixer. and. what is more, i
is the highest grade Of the product
that is being used in this way.
The great increase in the
consumption Of whole milk in
towns and cities is another cause Tor
:he cliub in butter prices. Add
to This Increased use Of the whole
milk and to the expansion n the ice
cream business the enormous demand
both abroad ana at home. which the
war has made for condensed milk
and butter. and it Is not necessary to
score either the farmers or The cold
storage men 70 account for butter
being so high. If it were not that
butter Substitutes have come into
such general use. the price Of butter
would be far higher than it is now.

Kaiser Hopes TO End the StruSSie III
One Colossal Stroke.
The Austro-German blow against
Italy is autocracy's most tremen-

win the war is one colossal stroke.
This was the direct assertion IN
official cables from Rome received
here yesterday. The battle, it is said,
is one Of the greatest of the great
est worlds war. In concentrated fury
Of attack it outrivals the DunaJec.
Eeldun and the Somme.
The two great powers OF the Cen
trail .Alliance-Germany and Aus.
tria-have been preparing for
months for this one tremendous
stroke. Undreamed OF supplies OF
munitions and unsupported numbers
OF men were concentrated for what
the Teutonic autocracies hope vii!
he the decisive action Of the war.
To witness hoped-for fulfiilment'
both Teutonic emperOrs are at inc
, battle front-Emperor William, TO
! ;~nsp;re his faded troops, and Empe-
| ror Charles, in supreme command
Of his Acknowledgements armies. On
tho other side of the front Il third
King Emmanuel. of Italy, is
! xhorting his men to supreme Sacri-
fees.
Thousands of Italian soldiers are
accepting certain death IN an effort
10 stem the Austro-German rash
long enough for ltaly's reserve arnl-
les to cope up and take over the
1agliamento line in hopes OF break
ing the onslaught with their river
defcnses.
