Udine, Italy, Sept. s.-Notwithstand-
Ing bad weather conditions. fighting
still continues all along the Italian
Austrian line. It consists for the most
part Of hand to -hand encounters be-
tween small detachments of Italian
anS Austrian soldiers. The latter are
imprisoned by Italian artillery fire in
galleries, the mouths of which have
been closed by ehell fire. Austrian de-
tenders remain In these galleries sew
eral days without food ,or munitions.
The attacking forces are straight
ening out the new line by cutting out
saiients still held by small groups OF
Austrians, who are unable either to
advance or retreat and are obliged to
surrender.
Counter offensives by the Austrians
in which they are supported by rein
foscements, are being repulsed contin-
ually and outlying portions Of lost po-
sitions remain in Italian hands. ~,
Fresh Troops captursd.
The prisoners taken during the last
four or five days are for the most part
fresh troops, They are in excellent
physical condition and well equipped

is making to save the mission. Not

not lost yard Of ground gained. ss-
rious attacks son conlparative1y large

heavy losses to the enemy and show
that the Austrians appreciate the po-

The Austrian crown prince, he de-

by Kaiser Wilhelm.
Hence he was, cunntnsfy put ont Of

statement continued: =,
:As proof, there stands the imperti-

mating with Tisza and approved by the
kaiser.
Very much has been said about the
causes of this war. We will not enter
into a specific discussion Of these
causes. Only this fact we wish to call
attention to-a fact sufficiently exposed
In the columns of the French news
paper ILLUSTRATION in February and
March Of 1916, that the assassination
Of Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand was
planned in Berlin, Vienna and Buda-
pest, and was carried out with great
cunning and perhdy by Count Tisza,
the former premier of Hungary.
"The kaiser and his satellite, Count
Tsza are the moral authors Of this
horrible crime because the prince re-
fused to consent to Austria -Hungary's
participation in the war which Ger
many and the kaiser and Count Tisza
had decided upon.
"The assassination committed by
them through hirelings was only pre-
text an infamous mask under which
was hidden the desire &c reign. IKE
greed for profits, the instinct of op-
preston Of the Hungarian race, their
devilish hatred Of the liberty of the
people and of national rights, and this
Infamous prete&t concocted with SO
much cunning was used to bring about
this terrible slaughter over the civil
ized world"

are charged ,respecttyety with htsn

crime. Z startling denunciation OF N.
jSoukhomIinoff was made by M. Rod
zianko, president Of the duma, Satur-
day. His testimony amounted to d.
rect accusation against the former war
minister.
M. Rodzianko testified that even long
before the war, NJ. Soukhomlinoff's ac-
tivity alarmed the duma, which per-
ceived his criminal negligence IN the
Organization Of the army M. ,Souk-
homlinoff, he said, always showed con-
tempt for the duma, and when the sit

and the duma sounded tie alarm and
appealed to the workers, NJ. Souk-
homlinoff at Arst feigned great inter-
est, bat soon began to oppose a sys-
tematic resistance to the efforts Of the
deputies for q betterment Of condi-
tions.

This resistance aggravated the ter
rible situation OF the army, which found
itself compelled to fight without arms.

persuaded him to convoke the duma
and dismiss Soukhomlinoh."
Deceived Russian People.
Prof. Paul N. MilukofI former for-
eign minister, gave his impression Of
an interview Soukhonlinoff had with
the cabinet and the president OF the
duma. he said the overwhelming con-
viction Of all present at this inter-
view was that soukhomHnon could not
assure RussiA,s defense. and that both
before and during the war he know
ingly had deceived the >fanssian people
by declaring the army was in good
shape.

AS to Mistakes

The people who makes mistakes are the people
who lead the world.
The perfect people work for them, running
errands and counting columns of figures.
Only trifes are always true. Every great and
serious truth has diverse side which is also true.
Prof. William James was the greatest psycholo-
gist of time but the best he could do in defining
the truth was this:
The truth is simply what ever will work.
Whatever is may not necessarily be right, in
spite Of Pope; but what is is. That is the main
point. And it is every mans job to accept the is
and get down to business.
Most men have the wrong location, have taken
up the wrong profession have failed to improve the
opportunities for education they had in their youth
have not married the women ideally suited to them,
have not the money, influence and position they
need to show what's in them.
And they are of two classes. One class sits
around the loafing places and tells it's woes and
whistles and pities ITSELF The other plucks up for
gets it, takes the situation as it is and makes the
best of things.
The genuine is not the man who never makes
mistakes, who had his chances thrust upon him, who
endowed and all that; he is the man who had no
chance and not gifted; but who took the raw
material of life and fate he found it and made
something out of it.
The only perfect person you will ever meet is
the perfect fool.
The faultless-they are the biggest frauds of us

position. A man may have all the money in the
world but that does prove that he is Man, for
he still be the greatest scape-goat in the world.
In the same way humbleness and being poor does
not show that man is not MAN, for he has just
much chance practice the traits of manhood as
the most wealthy man in this world. The art Of be-
ing Man, God did not give possession. but he
gave it for the work in getting it. poor man has
just much chance to live that he may be man,
as the richest man. Manhood cannot be distinguish
ed by anything but itself-it stands supreme"
