Austro-German Armies, How
ever, Have So Far Failed to
Smash Italian DefenseS.
GEN. DIAZ'S PIAVE LINE
STILL REMAINS INTACT
Chances of Italians Holding Their
Present Positions and Saving
Venice Increase Hourly.

The italian front is still holding firm
ly, although its defense is costing the
Italians heavily in men. There were
further efforts by the Austro-G German
masses to break through to the west end
Of the line between the Asiago plateau
and the Brenta, but Gen. Diaz's troops
successfully withstood these carefully
prepared thrusts. The Piave river re-
mains intact, and apparently the
enemy's efforts to force it are no longer
serious, although Rome today reports the
breaking up by artillery fire of hostile
attempts to lay pontoons.
In the important mountain front be-
tween the Brenta and the Piave the
struggle is still desperate one. No
further progress is claimed by Berlin In
this sector. On the contrary, the Italians
have been counter attacking heavily, al
though, Berlin declares, without success.
High military opinion, recently ex-
pressed, that the chances Of the Italians
holding the Piaye line and saving
Venice are increasing hourly, seems
likely to be strengthened by the tone
Of the latest Italian Official statements,
showing continued successful resistance
by the italians to the furious attempts
being made by the enemy to pierce their
northern front.

The commission on car service will
divert from those lines where the con-
gestion is most acute all freight that

THE pooling of coal will be further
extended wherever practicable.
The national fuel administration is

Louisiana Does Not Supply
Own Needs

We in Louisiana are far short of
producing enough meat, lard, Irish
potatoes, vegetables, milk, butter,
poultry products and some of the
more important live stock feeds to
supply all of our needs. Under
war conditions it is extremely pro-
bable that transportation facilities
will be less adequate, exports will
be increased and prices of food
and feeds will be still higher than
at the present time. 1t is, there
fore, exceedingly important that
all farmers, business men and
merchants and bankers should give
serious thought to those measures
that will help to insure a bounti-
full harvest of food and feedstuffs.
There should be united effort to
encourage the liberal planting of
all crops that have their seasons
yet to come. Among these are late
April and early May corn, pea
nuts, sweet potatoes, a fall crop of
Irish potatoes and all of the staple
vegetables that can be utilized on
the farm and to supply the local
markets. - w. R. Dodson, Direc-

everything, and always shall, for only
one reason-my love for my son, >"
says Sarah Bernhard, the greatest,
the most famous woman in the
world.
Thus does Bernhard, at Il, verify
the statement of the scientists that
maternal love is the hightiest Of all
human loves.
1t is the fashion, in this century Of
the glorifcation of the child, to give
nothing but praise to the wonders of
maternal love. Whoever suggests
that it holds any dangers is regard
ed as an enemy of society.
Nevertheless there are scores of
examples Of the misery which is
wrought by this, the most powerful
and the most enduring of human af-
feCtions. It often threatens, and
sometimes it destroys, the existence
of the family.
Indeed, it generally causes the first
serious domestic discord. The young
husband is apt to be jealous of his
first born before he loves it. BY the
time the baby is a month old he dis
covers what he should have been
taught before he married, that ma
ternaI love transcends Woman's love
for man.
Good men become reconciled
quickly, for they know that there are
many kinds Of love. But the selfish
man, the unthinking man, makes the
young wife's preoccupation with the
baby an excuse for hunting up old
bachelor friends. Then he takes the
first step in the very bad habit Of
staying away from home until late at
night.
Young wives, too, should know the
science of the situation. Nowadays
young mothers are inclined to be
somewhat over-zealous in maternal
vigilance. The more highly educated
they are, the more zeal they have.
