New York, Oct. 26.-Germanys first
Italy, now in full process Of develop

to break down the morale of the Ital-
ians. while internal difficulties are
confronting the Italian government.
The first real test of the war spirit.
of the Italian people under adverse
circumstances has now come. For the
past fortnight, there have been evil
dences of dissatisfaction in Italy with
the present ministry, coupled with mu-
nicipal disturbances. The kaiser un-
questionaby ordered the present Of
fensive in the hope that IL General Ca
dorna suffers a setback. grave internal
consequences will occur in Italy.
THE kklSER'S ERROR.
Hoping to create in Italy conytions
similar to those in Russia, the kaiser
already seems to have made another
grotesque error in guessing at the
mental processes of other nations. The
immediate effect of the German often
sive appears to be the spread of crit
icisms in Italy against weakness in
the present cabinet coupled with a de-
manu- lof more DeillSeTenlly active ma

If this is the ultimate outcome of the
kaiser's sudden interest in the Isonzo
front, as it probably viii be, tho Ger
man people will have still another ex-

zollern rule.

offensive, unless internal unrest is
thereby developed in Italy. few

Consider how you, as an individ-

striking description of Prof. &. :
SherringtOn,
Your body is like a great city Of
which the organisms called cells are
the inhabitants. They live and Gle,
but the city, or the body, continues

But the organization which unites
the individual cells composing the
human body is far more perfect and
more complex than that which binds

is incomparably more complete and
