 The enemy broke through the Italian advanced lines on the east bank Of the Isonzo Powerful Austro-German attacks also were made on the Bainsizza plateau and on the west slopes of Monte San Ga brielle, but these were checked by the Italians, who took few hundred pris- oners.
 The enemy attacked on the southern slopes of Monte Rombon and on the northern edge of the Bainsizza plateau. In the former region he was resisted In the narrows at Saga. but further south ha broke through the Italian advanced lines being favored by thick mist which rendered useless the Italian bar rage. &-
 ASSOCIATED PAEss SUMMARY New York, October 25.-From cables received the Associated Press makes the following summary of the war news from all fronts:
 The French forces in the Aisne region continues to develop their success of Tuesday, when they made rapid ad- vance over a front of about six miles capturing important German positions and thousands of prisoners.
 Following up minor successes Wednes- day, the French again attacked Thurs day along the entire line, forcing the Germans to abandon Monkey mountain, east of vauxaillon, the village and for est of Pinon. the village of Pargny- Filain, on the extreme east of the line, and numerous fortified farms and other points of vantage.
 NEARING LAON

SOUND SENSE.

No recent utterance Of President Wilson has carried
more of sound and wise craftsmanship than the
Ibrief letter to Dr. E. p v Ritter of the Merchants and
II Manufacturers Association of New York.
Dr. Ritter asked the President about the advsabty
holding commercial conventions during the war; and
] in reply President Wilson said:
H not only see reason why commercial con-
H ventions should be omitted during the war but
should regret to any instrumentaity neglected
\ which has proved serviceable in stimulating bust
II and facilitating its progress. This is not only
not time to allow any slowing up of business but
Il is time when every sensible process of stimula-
II ton should be used.
This paragraph, which makes up the Presidents an
swer to Dr. Ritter condenses the sense and the
intelligent policy of the American people 1t makes up
wholesale antidote to the columns and pages of printed
suf which have been broadcasted in inudicous appeals
for frenzed and misery boarding which, if they had
been followed in blind obedience would have transformed
this prosperous republic into conditions of business
Wilderness.
1t is timely and inspiring that the President who is
more and growing out of the scholarly deais into
the dimensions of the practical statesman should call
halt to the spirit of radical and ndiscrimnate boarding
and give impetus to the heathful and helpful currents Of
legitimate business
Side by side this war and business must 90 on together
The merchant and the tradesma the manufacturer and
the mechanic and the department store continue
their daily interchanges with the who must be fed
and clothed and entertained lest the republic grow stale
and dull and spiritless and supine and bankrupt
These commercial conventions quicken the conscious
of the people to the indispensable things Of daily
lives They keep alive to the claims of trade and real
estate and the development of rivers and harbors and
public improvements and traffic in the necessities of life
They keep the stores bright and cheerful and abreast Of
the times They keep the mills running and the factories
buzzng and the normal industries moving and the vast
mass of the people cheerful and hopeful and busy who
would otherwise be depressed beyond by the shad
and sinister of the They stimulate circu
laon of the blood in the business arteries and make the
sound heathfu cheerful civic body upon which must be
bulded first and last the foundations of successful
and afterward prosperous peace.
Save foodstuffs diligently avoid waste and extrava
for and fellow soldiers of democracy But keep
stiff upper lip, the good clothes which the
emblem of an inspiring prosperity and confidence, and

BUYING AWAY FROM HOME.

It is Of the queer things Of life that many people
like to buy goods at long distance from their homes
They to regard shopping of the diversions
of outing trip. They scatter their money about at one
place and another regardless whether they know anything
about the stores they are patronizng Thus they help
every town to prosper except their own.
Of course the merchants of any town gain well as
lose by this habit If they lose home trade that should
belong to hem they get trade from visitors from other
places But it remains true that the places where there
is strong sentiment of loyalty to home enterprises are
the that go ahead.
1t is great thing to know personally the reputation
of the merchants with whom is dealing. The stores

Fiftyve different paragraphs all neatly printed and
distributed This the state of justice and of religion
in much of the world only hundred and sixty years
In 1884 the Austrian government sent from Milan
catechs, entitled Duties of Subjects Toward Their
Sovereign" Here are two typical paragraphs:
O. How should subjects behave toward their
sovereign? A. Subjects should behave like faith
full slaves toward their sovereign
O. Why should subjects behave like slaves?
A. Because their sovereign is their master and
has power both their possessions and their
lives.
This was the ideal of political freedom throughout a
large part of the world only hundred years ago.
We find that ideal still surviving in words like these
uttered by William of Germany shortly before the war:
1t is tradition of our House that we the Ho-

to govern and lead the people whom it is given us
to rule
