To Our Patrons.

In the publication of the Sun, it is my desire to serve the people
at large to the best of my ability and to get out a newspaper that Wi
always be welcome in your homes. l have no political nor personal
grudge against anyone and hope always to treat each and every person
with the same consideration and respect. l am not n tins business
for my health and every person who has any business with the Sun
will receave the same treatment, whether their business be large n
small. Editors and reporters are not infanible and we are making
mistakes the same Al everyone else, and if We fail to mention sumeonr
or something in the Sun, it it will be because we didn't get the news,
OF that we made a mistake somewhere. If you know of a news item
have a visitor, someone gets sick, makes u visit, etc, let Us know
We will appreciate it and then we can make a newspaper that will
carry the news.

AUSTRIAN RUSHESFUT
ITALIAN OFFICIAL SAYS
Cabinet Member Gables Mission of
Failure of Counter Offensive
Against Captured Positions.

The Austrian counter offensive has
broken down completely. according to
official advices received here from a
member of the Italian cabinet.
The positions at Faite and Jamiaro,
captured by the Italians in their of
fensive have been successfully held
against the extremely heavy counter
attacks of the Austrians. the dispatches
report. In the Carsb alone 10000
troops and 1000 big guns were used by
the Austrians in their attacks.
The Italians have adopted a new sys-
tenn Of machine gun warfare that was
used to great advantage in the recent
fighting, the dispatches state. The ma
chine guns have been detached from
infantry regiments and organized as
Independent commands. giving them a
mobility in mountainous terrain hereto
fore impossible.
The Austrian counter offensive on
the Carso has been broken" the dts
patches read. The furious attacks
against our defenses at Faite and ia :
miano have been repulsed with heavy
losses and the advance of the enemy
was stopped at the banks Of the Tina
vo river.
The brave defenders OF our bril-
ltantly won advanced positions held
with the utmost trnacity. despite the
fact that on the csrro front alone the
Austrians hurled 10000 troops and
the concentrated IRE from 1000 big
guns agninrt us The counter offensive
was directed NJ the Austrian Gen.
Borosvic
The Austrisn counter offensive on
the middle isCnzo and the Carso
although having reached an extremely,
violent stage. failed miserably IN
every sector the Austrians failed to
reach their objective.
The Austrian counter offensive was
ordered for tn. purpose of overcoming
the political and financial effect of the
Italian advance.
From a military point Of view the
Austrian counter attack proved abor-
tive. Even Austrian writer's on the
war now admit that the Italian often
sive succeeded in it's objective. and that
the efforts OF the Italian arms de-
serve the highest admiration
The correspondent of the Kolnische
Zeituns. writing from the Austrian
great headquarters. says that after
two years OF fghting the. italian army
has reached It's highest state OF eff
cheney. only such an army. with the
necessary equipment could have gain
ed the results achieved during the
Offensive struggle that perhaps the
army or no other great nation has had
to make.
Machine gun companies. acting in
dependent 81 other units, played an i'm
portant part In the Italian offensive.
the Austrian correspondent continues.
The added mobility OF these troops the
writer says. enables them to perform
the work of four companies OF in

Aims of "VeiIed Prophets"
Based on Good Fellowship;
Playground for Masonry

Washington has heard much in recent
wears of the Mystic order Of Yelled
Prophets Of the Enchanted Realm,
whose Supreme Council is in session
here this week. but without knowing or
probably caring much what it is or
what are its aims. And yet the order
has more than. 100 grottoes, as its
lodges are called. scattered in nearly
every city Of Importance in the coun-
try and even in Canada, while its mem
bership aggregates more than 1000
men
1t is composed Of members of the
blue lodges" Of Freemasonry and by
them II is called the playground of
blue lodge Masonry"
Early in 1889 coterie Of master
MasoHs, members Of Hamilton Lodge,
No. ICE. Of Hamilton, y. Y. conceived
the idea of formin a n association based
upon good fellowship aud for social
intercourse, where Masons, after the
dignified earnestueys ana seriousness Of
Masonic work IN the lodge might find
relaxation and innocent enjoyment II
was intended to he purely local, and
there was no thought of its extension
beyond the town where it was born
and the lodge whose members orig
mated the idea
Diligently prospecting for the unique
and the humorous that would not
transcen6'the dignity Of Masonic char
acter, they ultimately struck "A rich
lode" which they conceived opened to
them the enchanted realm" and thus
a part of the!r long and. to many
amusing name was also revealed.
Within eight months the fame of the
new order had spread and 1I3 members
had been initiated into it, and soon 1t
began to move over the entire country

Held Military Necessity.

The occupation of Janina by italian
soldiers presents itself clearly as mill
itary necessity. with the double aim TO
guarantee the stability of the occupa-
ton of southern Albania and creating a
safe zone to establish communication
across the Adriatic with the eastern
armies. avoiding the long detour of the
Aegean sea. which is easily rendered
dangerous by submarines.
italian occupation of Janina falls in
line with similar operations accom-
plished by French and English troops
on Greek territory. Owing to the in
ternal situation of Greece and the en-
nifty between the government of King
Constantine and the government of
Venizelos the necessity arises to free
the military action from political in
reference. Besides the population OF
Epirus, suffering from the continued
struggle. have expressed their strong
desire to enjoy a period of safe tran
quillity such as is enjoyed by the pop
ulation of southern Albania and the en-
lightened rule of the Italian groups"

Italy to Be Reckoned With.

Further dispatches also were received
today quoting items in German news
papers which give warning that the
Italian offensive must be reckoned
with. One such item is that calling at
tention to the creation of machine gun
companies independent from the infan-
try. which. it stated. has quadrupled
their efficiency of operation. 1t is point
ed out that bodies of bomb throwers
also have been instituted. while the
Italian artillery has proved itself Won
derfully efficient.
A cable message also was received
summarizing a dispatch in the London
Times about matters which have
aroused great interest in Italian po-
litical circles. The writer says that
the maneuvers of Austrian-German
