is now firmly in Italian hands, ac-
cording to official dispatches from
Rome today. The greatest work is
at present being done by Italian avi-
ators, who are scouting over the
rear lines OF the Austrian army and
bombarding large bodies Of Austrian
troops. The present state Of the
Italian front appears full Of prom
Uses and surprises, the dispatches
say. The Austrians, thinking the
solution Of the wsr is TO be eXpe-
dited only in the result Of the fight
on this front, are desperately ac-
cumulating defenses to oppose u
new italian offensive.

Berne dispatch received in Rome
and transmitted here, say the allies
will attempt a new general offensive
before winter comes in order 10 in

War ProRts ProbIem.

The bone OF contention between
the conferees is the basis of ex-
emption in computing the war
profits tax. Upon their decision
hangs hundreds Of millions OF the
gains of the war profteers. Just
what assets TO include in capital
and how much of a percentage on
ca pital TO allow as a normal and
reasonable profit IS the problem
which the conferees in their two
weeks wrangling have been unable
10 solve.
The war revenue bill has been
before congress now more than four
months. II has been the cause Of more
controversy than any war measure.
or for any matter, any legislation
proposed in recent years. The most
powerful influence that big business
has been able 10 bring 10 bear has
been exerted in the contest over
the bill. The outcome Of the con-
ference fight is being awaited with
much interest by all members Of
congress, but particularly by those
who fought 70 force heavier levies

Sweden's Ancient drudge

Sweden has a real grievance against
Great Britain for the holding up at
Washington of diplomatic pouches
and for denying the use Of cables In
cipher Great Britain has an ade-
quate retoinder in saying that the
Won Luxembourg incident warrants the
most drastic of measures to prevent
further abuse Of the privileges of neu-
trality. 1t is not likely that the
incident in itself will cause Sweden
to enter the war on the Teutonic
side, but it may serve as a make
weight in such move. If Sweden
should join Germany it would be as
much because Of her hereditary enc
my as anything else.
Most nations have an hereditary
enemy" and Russia is Sweden's. dat
ing from the days Of Charles XII and
Peter the Great. The Swedes were
the early victors in those distant COM
bats; and 1t was a snrewd coun-
selIor Of the Swedish king who ad-
vise6 Charles to be careful not to
punish Peter too severely lest ne
learn how to fight" Growing Russia
at length vanquished the Swede and
an sge-long enmity resulted. Sweden
has always since feared Russia. But
that menace has disappeared in fact,
even though its mental shadow re-
mains. Sweden has nothing to fear
from Russia now; and If her ancien,
grudge sends her into the war 1t will
be a reversion of type such as this
war has been producing everywhere
