The Italian Reverse.

The disaster which has all but
overwhelmed the Italian Army was
utterly unexpected in the world at
large. and is probably something Of
a surprise to the German command.
There is nothing to be gained in
minimizing the gravity Of the stu
alton. 1t is the most severe blow
suffered by the Allied cause since
the collapse Of the Russian offensive
under Korniloff. 1t may prove to
be more serious than that reverse
But whatever the fates may seem
to have in store for Italy. the duty
of the Allies is clear 1t is to give
aid in every form Necessary to restore
the morals of the Italians and to
roll the tide back toward Austria.
Germany overran BELGIUM and
France and did not win he war
Servia and Montenegro were over
whelmed and the war went on.
Roumania was devastated and
Russia demoralized. but the foes of
Germany only multiplied and in
creased their determination to win &.
This latest German success need not
have a different sequel.

Reports made at the annual con :
vention of the Missouri Baptist AS
ISOLATION at Springfield, Mo, last
week, showed tina: during the year
$l08.000 was expended for mission s
and that the year closes with no de.
felt in this field of endeavor. Mis-.
sionaries in the state added 2,743
members to the church during the
wear. The convention authorized
the support of the church in the
campaign of William Jewell Col
lege at Liberty to raise $4,000
endowment fund and in the effort
to wipe out the $4,000 debt of
Southwest Baptist College at
Bolivar.

NEW sEARcHLIeHT POWERFUL.

A searchlight has been perfected
which the inventor claims will cast
beam for rs miles. 1t operates Oh
the carbon principle, but by use Of
powerful current and a special ar
rangenent of the carbon pencils ire
mendous candle power is secured.
There is little doubt that the new
searchlight will do all that is claimed
for it, for the inventor is already in
ternationally famous through his
work in perfecting the gyroscope for
use in compasses and in stabilizing
airplanes. 1t has been suggested
that the new light may be useful fol-
installation on submarines, as il
would be capable of lighting up the
water for a considerable distance.
