BY Associated Press.
Italian resistance is stiffening along
the Piave line and in the Sugana wall
ley, the Austro-G German progress is
slowing up. The invaders have not
been able to cross the Piave from
around Feltre to the Adriatic.
Violent fighting is in progress around
Asiago and the SETH, to he west. The
permanence Of the Piave line depends
mostly on the success or failure OF the
Austro-German blow in the Asiago re-
gion military observers think. If the
invaders can be held in the north, the
Treviso hills along the middle Piave
will help the Italians in checking an
advance across the river. Further
Austro-German advances from the
north might make the Piave line unten-
able and Venice and Trevisco probably
would have to be given up, with .
further retirement either to the Brenta
or the Adig.

ration, is now in part done and in part to be
done if she wins the war. There is no question
of altruism in Tannenberg' program; Germany
| is best fitted by training and ability to take
control of world affairs; let her take this con-
trol-this is Tannenberg's creed.
DR.. Hill argues that this is war where com
mercial domination is the real motive; no indi-
vidual of dynastic ambitions could unite a
nation in an effort like Germany's; only be-
cause the whole German people believe that IN
dividually they would become world leaders in
the practical affairs of life are the Germans
fighting as they are. DR.. Hill condemns the
immoral disregard of the rights of other ma
tions as he shows the power of the selfish poll
ces to which Germany has been educated. But
from reading of Dr. Hills paper comes a
sense of the ridiculous failure of modern di-
plomacy to properly estimate the sincerity of
Germnay's motives. automatically she de-
clared peace as a motive; in many ways she
seemed to act in accordance with her peace
declarations But within Germany there was
open education of the people to the idea and
purposes of war.
What Germany doing was to sound the
tribal cry of DID, to rally her stock to war of
tribal supremacy. So far was this from the
hazy cosmopolitanism Of current diplomacy
that it was looked upon as chimerical. Had the
world taken Germany acts as evidence that
she meant what she was saying to her people,
this war would not have come as sudden dis
aster indeed it might never have come.

THE COAL COON COMES DOWN.

Their Uncle Sam has convinced the opera
tors that it will pay for them to be good. Rep
resentatives Of both the hard and soft coal IN
terests of the nation have agreed to the sug-
gestions that prices are to be fixed and produc-
ton stimulated by committees of seven pro-
dueers in each of the coal states, all procedure
subject to approval of the coal committee of
the council of national defense. This agree
ment was reached after it had been impressed
upon the coal men by Secretary Of the Interior
Lane that it was the alternative to govern
ment seizure and control Of the entire output.
Dispatches from Washington say that the
price of bituminous coal beginning with July
one will not exceed three dollars and fifty cents
a ton of two thousand pounds at the mine.
This maximum price is to hold until the secre-
tarv of the Interior the federal trade commits
sion and the committee on coal production OF
the council of national defense can lnvest-
gate conditions and fix minimum price for the
period of the war. The operators also have prom
ised to enforce a limitation Of twenty-five
cents ton upon the profits of jobbers and
brokers, so that soft coal will cost the consum-
er not more than three dollars and seventy
FIVE cents a ton exclusive Of transportation.
And so the coal coon has been obliged to
come down.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal Upon being
informed that they might choose be-
tween being good voluntarily and be-
ing good compulsorily, the coal barons
selected the first of the alternatives.
They are entitled to every bit OF
credit that goes with that generous
and disinterested decision. The pub
lie, meantime, while fully convinced
of the sincerity of the barons' new
patriotism, is yet mindful Of the COM
pelling power of habit, and will con-
tinue to keep one eye on coal prices
and the other on brick.

THE ZIONIST DREAM.

Right on the eve of realization now, to all

been cherished by any people Of earth, the
dream of the Hebrews to possess again their

ipressed which has chung SO long and tenacious
ily to such slender hope as have the Jews;
land now at last their age-long ardent desire
rseems near fulfillment.
At meeting held in New York City the
half Hebrews Of the metropolis passed a reso-
Tuition which brought the five hundred dele
|gates to their feet shouting, cheering, weeping
for joy. ''At last at last'' they cried, 'sour
Jewish republic, the land of our prophets, our
Palestine' And when the white and pale
blue banner with the double star Of David was
unfurled their enthusiasm knew no bounds
The resolution recited their unfaltering faith
In the triumph of the cause for which our
country stands, reaffirmed their faith in the
speedy redemption of Zion and expressed their
full confidence that the United States and its
allies will all needful efforts for the reali-
cation Of the hope and aspiration of the jew

It is providential for the Zionists that Ameri-

cord full civic rights to the Jewish elements in
their population will have the controlling voice
in deciding the future of Palestine The crea-
ton of a Jewish republic in the holy land will
conflict with no ambition of theirs but is
likely to be regarded by them as the best solu-

Last month when flour was $3.50 in this
country it was $500 in England. And much of
that English flour was from American wheat
bought in the open market, transported over
our congested railroads and carried overseas at
war freight charges and insured at war time
rates. It has been estimated by experts that
seventy per cent. Of the wheat that went to the
millers of this country during the past year
brought to the producer an average Of $1.36 per
bushel which should have meant to the con-
sumer flour at not more than $3.50 per barrel.
What the American people want to know is
what became of the difference between this
$3.50 that they should have paid and the $17.60
that they actually paid.
