Sir Robert Borden arrived late for
the meeting and was greeted with
shouts and Kisses as ne attempted to
address the throng. The premier was
compelled to abandon the attempt. The
refusal OF the crowd to receive his
arguments mark the first case in Cana

While the melee was at its height,

the platform, attracted by the suspi-

m ounted to a gallery above and with

upon the man and rushed him to head
quarters under heavy guard. He was
found to be armed with a pistol, and,

REASON FOR ITALYs SLUMP.
adorra Left Two Armies With Open
Territory Between Them

Paris Nov. 23.-Ldelayedl-A long
article entitled Cause and Effects Of
Italian Disasters leads Premier Glenn
enceaus paper, LHomme Encha!ne
today. It is signed "XXX." The writer
says in part:
with out touching the question Of
treason-always an easy but often
short-sighted explanation OF disaster
Jet US consider the military aspect
Of the Italian situation. To begin with
the principal error Of the italian high
communicative sufficient to bring
about the castastrophe-was the faulty
disposition Of It's armies.
"EetwecH these two Italian armies
the Austrans still held whole sector
which formed, from Tolmino 70 Santa
Lucia, kind Of outpost separating the
Italian forces. Military critics had al
ready drawn attention to the danger Of
this situation.
Reserves Were Numerous.
THE reserves Of manpover were
numrous enough to furnish other arm
les as we'll but the Italian generalissimo
has always seemed unwilling to keep
them near the front. So when need
came, they could not intervene, and
thus the rout Of the second army, fol-
lowed by the beating up and preci-
pitate retreat of the third, carried
everything away.
This error is connected with sew.
eral others all Of which are to be ex-
planned by the conQuests made. Other
wise what excuse Is there for the mis-
take of massing all the main supply

Pertinent Questions.
How, too, are we to excuse the
complete lack Of fntrenchments, in view
. of possible retreat and .he fact tina,
not a single road Of retreat was pre-
pared or g single hridge-beyond five
old ones-thrown across the Taglia-
mento? The congestion produced al
most from the outset by the enormous
mass OF men and material on the river
banks, all trying to cross at the same
moment, cost the Italian army almos,
as dearly as the sudden loss Of all ite
supply sources, which had to be left tc
the enemy.
Those who have visited the Isonzc
front must have been surprised that
despite all errors, positions as strong
as those Of the second army before
Plesxo and ToiTnino gave way SO easily

leaders was obvious to all who pene'

officials little booklet on what IS be-

for the boys IN camp and TO Eorestall
as much as possible the alIurements
OF vice or improper places.
It is explained that the task OF ms
commission is 20 re-estatitsh, as far
as possible the old social ties the
boys had al home, to furnish these
Young men a substitute for the reCre-

onment OF var camp. I : also FOR
the commission 20 prevent and sup
press certain vicious conditions trad
ditionally associated with armies and
training camps" Il is explained
To a great extent the commission
has employed in these two important:
activities the machinery OF organ!za-
tons and agencies heretofore inter-
ested along such lines. Except where
necessary, 1t has not created any new
machinery.
Using Agencies at Hand.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and the knights OF Columbus,
for instance have been looked 10 IN
order 10 supply a large share Of the
club life and entertainment inside the
training camps. To the American Lii
brary Association II has inst!nctively
turned for an adequate supply Of
books and reading facilities FOR the
troops.
To organize the social and reCTe-
ational life Of the communities ada
cent 10 the training camps the commits
sion enlisted the services OF the Play
ground and Recreation Association OF
America which has placed represent
atives IN over one hundred such COM
munities and has harnessed the lodges.
churches, clubs and other local groups
and organizations with the men in the
camps So. too, such agencies as the
Travellers aid society. and the Young
Mems Christian Association have been
brought into play in connection with
the community problem.
"Suppress!ve work In dealing with
vicious conditions IS handled by direct
representatives of the commission,
with whom are cooperating such or
CARNATIONS as the Committee of Four
teen of New York, the Watch and
Ward Society Of New England, the
Committee Of Fifteen Of Chicago, the
Bureau Of Social Hygiene of New York
and the American Social Hygiene AS
sociation. Local police authorities and
sheriffs, as well as the machinery OF
the Department OF Justice and The NIL
itary Provost guards have been ut!l-
ICED in the work.
The special problem arising from
the presence Of young girls in the VI

lost SOIL horses.
Over million and half Of Amerl-
cas- horses have been purchased for
service with the allies.
Wastage Of horses means an enor-
nous money loss, which mere money
cannot now replace; $4,000 horses
have died in america while awaiting
shipment and 5000 have died at sea
in course Of transit.
In nine weeks the British captured
lost none. The German losses are
s32 German field and heavy guns and
partly due to lack of horses.
America, with an army of 100000
mel. will require 100000 horses to be-
gin with. and shipload after shipload
to keep the force up to strength. The
total need will exceed a million year
under lighting conditions, and may ev-
en- be vastly greater.
The allies have for months been
buying every good horse they could
get and are still buying in the Amer
can market.
America has 100000 horses, Of
which less than one-ffth are disable
for war purposes. With the tremen-
the supply OF horses be adequate at
the time when the horse may become
the determining factor in the wear?

Great Ararat Not Known by
 This Name 10 the Erneaians.

Great Ararat, which looms up about 17,000 feet into the Armenian sky and looks down on the lands Of Russia, Turkey and Persia, although so truly the rallying point, as it were for the Armenian people. is quite unknown to the native Armenian by this name. The people who actually dwell within sight of its great snow-capped dome, who look out toward it over the plain from Erivan, some thirty miles away to the north, or from the frontier mountain slopes away to the south, call it by a variety of names. If they are Ar menians they call it "Massis :" if Turks, "Aghri Dagh," and if Persians, "Ixeh-i-Nuh," or the Mountain of Noah.'
 There are really, of course, two mountains, or, rather, there is one vast mass out of which rise two peaks, their bases continent at q height of $500 feet their summits about seven miles apart" Little Ararat, upon whose slopes it is that the territories of the three kingdoms actually meet, is some 4,000 feet lower than it's big brother; but, nevertheless. with its 12,- $40 feet, it is none so little.'
