Editor San Diego, Cal Sun: I saw

In which they quote bodily an article
which related to the purchase of
whisky by man named Cole and the
sale of same to soldiers who after

to do away with such practices BY
voting San Diego dry. Lord forgive
these dry advocates, for they know

prompt and full support It may be in
the power Of the Allies to give"
That Great Britain and France
must go promptly to Italy's help is
the view expressed by several morn
ing newspapers. The Times, which
prints a statement implying knowl-
edge that such help is contemplated,
says editorially:
"Our word to the people Of Italy
Is to stand firm, for help will surely
come. x Italy must not and will
not be deprived of the fruits of the
ultimate victory forw hich she has
battled SO long and so arduously.
x In the truest sense the Isonzo
Is our front as much as the Somme,
and now that it has collapsed we
must do our utmost without delay to
repair it.. There is no need for alarm
but there Is the utmost need for
promptitude and broadness of vision
The Daily Chronicle, taking a sim
liar view. says it ought to be possible
to have British and French divisions,
or both, in northern Italy in a very
short time. The Daily News, on the
other hand, while holding 1t incum-
bent on the Allies to consider how
best to succor Italy. thinks it is I'M
scale the situation demands.
While all the newspapers recognize
the gravity Of Italys peril, strong
confidence is expressed in Gen. Ca
dorna and the Italian army with the
conviction that they ultimately will
emerge victorious. italian persever-
ance and successes of the past are
recalled with. warm admiration and
the weakness of some links in the de-
fensive is cendoned. The Times says:
THE troops so suddenly and hercely
tried may well have blanched. The
gallant Italian army has proved its
courage and devotion SO often in this
war that single unfortunate episode
leaves no stain on it's. honor

WOMEN DOING MEMS WORK

One of the most striking results Of
the great war in Europe, is the extent
to which women are doing the work
Of men. Travellers to England and
France report that practically every
able-bodied man is in uniform and
women by the thousands are engaged
in doing mems work-acting as con-
ductors and drivers on the cars and
doing all sorts of heavy work besides.
This shows unexpected possibilities
in what has been mistakenly called
the weaker sex. Women are subject
to ailments which men do not have,
and when SO ailing become weak,
helpless sufferers. But remedy has
been found. For forty years, Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has been making such women well
and strong, and as able to do work as
any other woman.-Adv.
