the mountains ana the Adriatic is short
and the battle Is first Of artillery and
second OF infantry. The Italians have
been REINFORCED, but by guns rather than
men, and the guns are doing their work.
Venetia is n quadrangle, three sides OF
which Italy had been defending. Now she
has to defend but one side, far easier
task.
Germany Is also fighting a "Verdun" in
front of Cambria That city's Importance
as railroad and distributing center has
been destroyed, but now sentimental
value attaches TO IT, like that about the
ruined town on the Meuse. Hindenburg
could not refuse battle on the Scheldt after
the English lunge. That would have been
a confession of bankrupt morale. But this
sanguinary counter-offensivc, begun in
wrath and continued without regard Of
German lives, plays into the hands OF the
Allies. The battle cannot be too much In
the open for us, as is shown by the eager.
ness of the American engineers to throw
away their shovels and seize rifles to aid
the British. In casualties the Germans
have suffered twice as much as the Allies
at Cambria and the proportion is evidently
swinging hourly in our favor as the waves
OF Teutons sweep on in vain.

DISAFFECTED BLUECOATS

LOYALTY to the city, and not to the
II Organization, will be the only thing
that will prevent the policemen from carry
ing out their present intentions to strike.
They have no reason to be grateful to an
Organization which for generation has
sought to corrupt them, body and soul.
Nothing whatever was done to improve the
condition of the Philadelphia police until
the reform Administration of 1911 was
elected. Had the Blankenburg- Porter poll
cies been indorsed by the voters of 1916 the
first to gain would have been the police
men, who would never have struck against
"A Porter regime. Says the leader OF the
disaffected police:
Every policeman is dissatisfied with the
treatment he has received from Mayor
Smith and Director Wilson These two
officials, If they had cared TO do so, could
have used their influence to make the life
of every policeman a happy one. Unfortu-
nately, they have failed TO do So
This is a very dangerous state of affairs.
Disseminated policemen do not make for a
faithful guardianship OF the peace nor are
they apt to give their best endeavors to
preventing crime. The morale of the force
was badly hit by the hiring of New York
thugs TO do work in the Fifth Ward that
the great majority of local officers would
have scorned to do. Anarchy at the top
breeds anarchy all the way through the
ranks and grades Of subordinates.
A staggering load of work is piling up for
the successor of Mayor Smith.
