THE WAR.

The war situation in Nor
thern Italy during the latter
part Of last week resulted III
a serious blow to the allied
cause if the dispatches in the
press are true. The Austri-
ans, reinforced by All army OF
five hundred thousand Ger
man soldiers from the Russian
front, attacked the army.
Cordona, the Italian General,
was defeated - hurled back
with a loss Of one hundred
thousand prisoners and the
capture Of four hundred
cannons. The blow to the
Italian army is indeed grave.
The result was fruitful with
baneful possibilities to the
allies. If the line Of battle
in north Italy is not streng'
tened and strengthened
promptly, if the German
army is permitted to drive
their way through the noun
tain passes into the open
country. the blow to the
allies will .be greater than
was the collapse Of Russia.
They will be in a position to
lengthen the war for years.
The ultimateresult Of the war
however, is assured in time.
Germany is hard pressed by
the sturdy advance of the
French and English troops
on the Fathsrland, in the
weakening Of tie German
morale, in the great loss OF
soldiers, that she cannot re-
place.
The great battle now I'M

1864 General Lee won many
brilliant battles in his cam
paign around Richmond, but
each victory was prophetic
of ultimate defeat, because
each victory was won at the
costs of the loss of thous-
apds of his fighting men who
could not be replaced And,
though in the clash Of arm.

strenuous sport for two years. He turned
professional in 1909 and coming to this
country in the early part of 1910 he was
given charge of the golf and tennis de-
partments of Wanamaker's in New York,
