LETTERS TO Times
FROM ITS READERS
War for Freedom Should Not
Exinguish Freedom.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
l have read your editorial in the
Times OF May on "Put Out the
Light" You are right. We want no
press muzzlinE law Of uhy kind. Hon
est men have no reason to fear the
light, and no honest man does fear
it. They say this is a war in the
cause OF freedom. yet it seems TO be
made an excuse for denying freedom,
and no act to hamper free speech or
free press ever did any good.
Nor was It meant to do any good.
What is the use of our lighting
against the German war lord and CIV
ing the President here more power
than the Kaiser has? Again 1 say
any man who is sent to represent the
people and swears to uphold the Con-
stitution and then tries to break 1t, Is
not At to hold any office.
Again permit me to congratulate
you on the stand you take for free
speech and free press.

A PROBLEM FOR THE LITTLE GROUP.
Sir: Won't you please help me out
Of a difficulty? You know so much
about the Mysteries and all that sort
Of thing. ! have a friend who Is teach
ing me Astrology. and he tells me that
he has in him the reincarnated soul OF
Robert Bruce. He says this is so. be-
cause he was born under the same stars
as Bruce and at the same hour. Now.
what ! want to know Il this: At the
time OF my friends birth. under the
same stars and at the same hour. a mill
lion other babies were born: 80 each OF
them must have In him the soul Of
Robert Bruce. or a piece Of that soul :
and that is what perplexes me. Does a
reIncarnated soul split up into millions
of psychic fragments and grow more
souls, like worms. or does It visit round
in the different bodies Of its chosen
people. like country cousins among
their relatives. or does 1t select one per-
son only to live on. like a man with a
rich uncle? It's an Rwfully solemn
problem, don't you think. and one that
ought to be settled. Help me out

Italian Leftawing Hit Hard Blow.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day French sue
Cesses on the Aisne front and British
pressure in Flnaders has been offset
by the Austro-German blow against
the left wing of the Italian line on
the Isonzo front. While the reuton
advance there has advanced far
enough TO be considered dangerous
for the future of allied arms in that
region, semi-official Rome statements
say the situation is certainly grave. .
The Italian official statement says me
Teutons have been repulsed Oh the
Carso front.
Strongly reinforced Teutons armies
brought against Italy are said to be
commanded by Emperor Charles, Of
Austria Hungary, with Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, who was successful
in two campaigns against the Rus
slams and Rumanians, second in com
mand
Having failed to to force Russta
into peace negotiations and being
pushed back in France and Belgium,
the Teutons may be making last
gigantic effort to bring about a fav-
orable peace by crushing Italy.

and on the. Aisne front continue tot
advance. Today French troops gain

Teutons Making Supreme Effort.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-Germany, with
the help of Austria Hungary, is today
making what may prove to be her
supreme and last effort of the whole
war.
The stupendous operation against
Italy is developing into campaign of
the first magnitude and far-reaching
results, even affecting vitality the sit
uation on the western front, are pos
sible.
There are indications that the
Kaiser is stalking all on this blow
and that the plans of the German gen
eral staff includes a desperate effort
to break through the Italian front, ov-
errun the Italian plain and invade
France from the south, thus getting
in the rear of the French armies.
