GERMAN ADVANCE
 CHECKED BY ITALY
TEUTon ALLIES HAVE STARTED A THIRD WEDGE INTO THE
 ITALIAN LINES.
ALLIES ARE SENDING AID
On the Russian Front the Germans in Their Continued Evacuation Have Withdrawn From Entire Wer-
 der Peninsula.

New York.-From the head of the Gulf of Priest northward along the IsonZo to beyond Tolmino, and thence westward through the Carnia Alps re- zion to the Ploecken pass, forming the eastern and northeastern bound aries Of the Austro-Italian war front, the Germans and Austro-Hungarian troops are operating swiftly and strongly against tn Italians in an en- deavor to crush General Cadorna's $ forces.
 Already the Italians, according 10 the German official communication, are standing before the town of Udine, the former grand headquarters of the Italian army after having been driv- en on past Cividale. In the press westward from Gorizia the Germans have captured Cormons, 10 miles southeast of Udine, and the entire Italian line southward to the head of the Adriatic is reported in retreat In addition to the wedges driven into the Italian front in the east and northeast the Teuton allies have started a third wedge in the north through Pleeeken Pass, their hope evi- dently being to cut off the retreat of the greater portion of General Cador- mas armies moving west and south west. The Italian commander in chief, however reports that his mon are checking the advance in this re- zion. Evidently the weakness among the Italians has been overcome, as Cadorna says that all movements or dered by the General Staff now are being carried out in regular order. and that the Italians are fulfilling their duty "by keeping in check the enemy's advance into the plains
 Meanwhile, in order to aid the Ital- ians in their hour of trouble, Great Britain and France are preparing to lend immediate aid, and it is possible that already troops are being hast ened across the western Italian from tier and by way of Turin and Milan to the battle fronts in the east.
 On the western front in France and Belgium little fighting has taken place except in the nature of bombardments although on the Verdun front the Ger mans. in an attack near Chaume wood captured portion of French trench. Later, however. they were driven out from the most of it.
 On the Russian front the Germans in their continued evacuation have withdrawn from the entire Werder peninsula, projecting into the Moon Sound in the Gulf of Riga It is pos sible to land further forces last week caused the decision to withdraw the troops.

 Fell Into the Bears Pit.
 When spoke of my visit to the bear pit this afternoon q lady recited the story that has become q tradition in Berne. but that is historically accu- rate. She told 1t well and 1t was much more stirring than the story of the horrible butchery by which thou sands had lost their lives in Flanders only the day before. So cruelty does usage blunt human feelings!
 On night many years ago one of the secretaries of the British lega- ton with colleague from another le- gation stopped at the bears den. It was about midnight. They had been out to dinner and were much under the influence of wine. The English man In a sporty spirit vaulted over the iron rail at the top and then back several times. The last time he was ripped by his cane. which he held in his hand, and fell 20 feet to the bottom of the pit. He was not hurt by the fall The pit was empty; the bears had gone into their sleeping cellars.
 Finally q rope of coat strips was made, the Englishman grasped it. and the crowd began pulling him up. When his feet were dangling a few inches from the bottom one of the bears stag gered up to him and struck him with

monuments and "gatepests," in
 coats of arms and trade marks and most real of all, in the bear gar den maintained from time immemorial by the municipality of Berne, cor respondent of the Chicago Herald writes from the Swiss city.
 Napoleon took the Berne bears to Paris. When peace came the Bernese clamored loud to have their bears re- turned and the treaty so provided.
 It is sort of relief to turn in these war times to q less cruel wild animal than man and fall down in bear wor- ship. Really there Is something kind in Bruins face as he opens his mouth in what might pass for a smile. talk Ing short breaths. with his red tongue hanging over the lower lip. At least there is no such expression as might be on the face of an aforetime gentle youth as he plunges his bayonet into the breast of an equally gentle youth differently uniformed

German Fuel Shortage.

London.-The German railways are faced with great shortage of fuel, and drastic limitation of traffic has begun, according to reports reaching here. The railroads propose to levy excess fares on express trains so as 10 discourage all except unavoidable business journeys. A large number of fast trains have been eliminated from the war time tables. The Wurtemburg railways will charge heavy excess fares for traffic on Saturday after moons and Sundays.

view of the Jungfrau and the Ober land. I can see three or four play grounds on the banks of the Aare. All ways In the afternoon these spaces are alive with youngsters. Their play Is well orderNl. They run, jump, throw the discus, pole vault and swim and dive into the river. It Is real play. but Is orderly. All are in good earn est about it. The play doesn't degen- crate into horse play.
 In our America it would be almost Impossible to maintain these play grounds, except under the severest SUI pervision. They would be picked to pieces, strewn with litter and the earnest work of athletics turned into some sort of buffoonery. Here the play goes on apparently without SUI. perintendence right up to dark.
 The arrangement of this little city. the squares and public buildings. the municipal housekeeping are a model of painstaking and good taste. The won. derful river combines utility and beauty. It twists and turns in It's course through the town, making land. scape opportunities that have been taken advantage of. After it reaches the outside of the city it pursues it's swift course mile, then bends sharp ly and comes back to within 300 yards. The thrifty Bernese have made tun- nel from bend to bend with 40 feet of fall, and here the city gets it's supply of electric power

Tents Before Huts.

The scriptures make us more famil- far with tents than with huts. They were invented before the deluge and appear from the first to have been as- sociated with the pastoral life to which a movable habitation was necessary The patriarchal fathers of the Israeli ties were dwGllers in ,ts. and their descendants proceeded at once from tents to houses We find the same true with the Assyrians. The first tents were undoubtedly covered with skins, of which there are traces In the Pentateuch; but nearly all the tents mentioned in the Bible were doubtless of goata' hair. spun and woven by the women such as are now in western Asia, used by all who dwell in tents. Tents of linen were. and still are, only used occasionally for holiday or trav- cling purposes by those who do not habitually live in them.
