"All the cunning Of the Kaiser and his fell
low conspirstors against the liberty Of all
peoples standing in the path Of his world
dominion was used to entics the Poles into
serving the Teuton legions, but even as the

There Is Certainly No Lack
l Of Appreciation

An almost unanimous chorus of praise
has been sung by the editors over the
achievements Of the Italian arms, and, II
Italy's part In the war has hitherto re-
ceived scant recognition, there is certainly
no lack Of appreciation now. "The Phila-
delphia Ledger" thus expresses views
which are held as well by many other
papers:
at Is no disparagement 20 the fine work
Of the Allies on the western front to cay
that the capture Of San Gabrielle by the
Italians Is the elimination Of a series OF the
most brilliant victories Of the war. The
Marne was not less heroic nor less important.
II stayed tho tide Of German invasion, and
for that reason may fairly be called one Of
the decisive battles of the world. The steady
pressure Of the British In Flanders which
is wearing down the German power Of resist
| ance. the sturdy valor Of the French az YER
dun--these are factors Of Unreasonable
value In the final triumph.
"But General Cadorna's men have surmount-
ed natural obstacles so strongly fortified as
to be fairly appalling. If ever a frontier
might be considered impregnabe 1t was this
Great peaks, sheer precipices, roughly roll
ing country, with poor roads and waterless
wastes-what hope was there of a successful
offensive? The fact staggers the imagins.
ton. Trenches were cut in the ice, roads
we're built, pipe lines were run from the val
legs to every crest. And now from San Ga
bree the Italians dominate the whole Aus
trisn position, and the way is open to Trieste
and to Laibach."

Cield Adjectives, Trench Hyper
l boles and Cadorna' Barrages

To 1.-THE Boston Journal" however,
Cadorna is somewhat Of pinchbeck hero,
and essaying the precarious role Of prophet
this paper In It's issue Of September II,
before the winning Of San gabrielle, thus
expresses It's opinion Of the Italian drive:
at would not be surprising II the average
newspaper reader were 70 ask most any
morning, What has happened to the italian
drive"
"The Italian drive has stopped. But the
fact Is that Il never did much more than
begin. Its success lay chiefly in the hopes
Of that vast army OF non-combatants whose
wish Is always father to the thought. Its
success lay also In the words OF its able
press agents who opened up their batteries
Of field adjectives and trench hyperboles TO
synchronize with Csdornas barrages."
And not only does this journal decline
to recognize that Italy hes made any ma
terial gain for the Allied cause but also
il opposes the aims Of Italy. Thus, in q
later issue, appears the following:
"But making due allowance for the Gus.
tomary exaCgeration, IL is undoubted that the
Italians have lost heavily while their gains
have been negligible. The Journal regrets
it has not been able to join the general chorus
Of triumph emitted b. the American press
over the Italian performance It IS always
a temptation to allow enthusiasm 70 ges
the better of hard cold facts. But a study
Of the map reveals no progress commen-
surate with the boisterous headlines and
news stories and the hamboyant editorials
Of recent weeks In fact, this concerted at
tempt to make the Italian effort appear wnas
it was not merely emphasized the purposes
Of Italy at this time, namely to win the
balance Of the Entente over to her imperialiss
desires. ,-
I'VE do not believe that ITALY should or
will succeed in these desires. President Will
son, leading In this respect the liberal thought
of the day. has decsiyely declared against
the dismemberment of empires. And yet dis
memberment Of the Austrian empire Is what
Italy must have to achieve her purposes OF
taking T.entino, the sen ports OF Trieste and
Fiume, with the adjacent lstrian and Croatian
coast line and Dalmatia."
Indeed, to this paper the success OF the
Italians might conceivably be a menace to
the Allies in the future, endangering rather
than fastening "the assuredness of per-
manent peace in the near future"

Tho Italian Drive Viewed az
/ The Wars Chief Factor

After making due recognition Of tho
italian successes, "The New York Times"
intimates that Italy may become for the
time the chief factor in the war" But one
is reminded Of Italy's pressing needs by
"The New Haven Register:
"The prediction made by foreign war cor.
respondents recently that change Of plan In
the Allies campaign was about 20 be made,
and that the new maneuvres would be based

"But the armies Of Csdorna have begun
to feel that they must conserve their re-
sources. There is no secret that they need
guns. They need ammunition Tor those guns,
also, to carry through the plans already laid.
Monitors are useless for bombardment as tho
campaign continues TO the northeast. They
can shell the coast toms near Trieste ard
aid the armies. but inland transportation over
mountainous roads is real problem for
gunners and artillery"

And further this paper reflects general
opinion Of Cadorna:

you, addressed to the mothers of
Germany. You recall at the outset the
German Christmas children's festival, In
which you participated yourself In Ger
many, and regarding which you retain
pleasant memories.
Do you know where the little fair-haired
boys are who, then led by their mothers
hand, looked with bright eyes on the
lighted tree, and who with their clear lit
tie voices sang the old German Christmas
song? Where are they now who slumbered
so peacefully with happy dreams in their
little beds? They are on the battlefields Of
Flanders. They, helplessly wounded, have
had their throats cut by Gurkhas and
Senegslese, your blood brothers, whom by
means of filthy lucre or tyrannical force
you have compelled to fight against us,
your kin.
Was there any anger on the part of
English mothers regarding the crime
against the holy traditions Of humanity
when you unlesshed them? Is the STAN
mering child in the cradle more precious to
the English mother than the gifted boy In

lily scenes of which you were witness
