WILSON DISCUSSES
 ITALIAN SITUATION
Ita1iah Setback Will Act as Spur In stead of DiscOHragement Is
 Opinion.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The Italian situation was discussed at length by President Wilson and his advisers
 at today's cabinet meeting. The dis cussion touching immediate military aspects and the extension of assist ance by the allies. Furnishing of supplies, especially coal, bacly need ed by Italian munitions factories, is said to be regarded as this coun- try's particular sphere of immediate action. Altho the administration shares regret and concern over initial successes of the Teuton drive, high officials here are said to utterly re- ject the opinion, advanced in some quarters, that events in Italy can become decisive of the war or even important turning point. It is felt
 that the set back in Italy will act as a spur rather than discouragement, both upon Italy and the other allies. There is no apprehension that Italy

Value of Language.

Language is the amber in which a thousand precious and subtle thoughts have been safely embedded and pre- served. It has arrested ten thousand lightning flashes of genius, which, un- less thus fixed and arrested, might have been as bright, but would have also been as quickly passing and per lshing as the lightning. Far more and mightier in every way is language than any one of the works which may have been composed in 1t. For that work, great as 1t may be-. at best en- bodies what was in the heart and mind of single man, but this of nation. The .'Iliad'' is great, yet not sog great In strength or power or beauty as the Greek language.
