French troops would take "some days"
to reach the side of the Italians battling
in their northern mountain regions. The
general opinion is that the some days"
must have passed; and if the British and
French reinforcements are not now sup
porting the Italian armies it is another
case of the greater nations of the entente
allies neglecting their smaller allies Woe
fully. OF course, Italy is more self
reliant than Rumania and Serbia were
prior to the time when the Teutonic
steam-roller began its progress over
them, but Italy is probably subjected to
much greater pressure than was either
Of those two countries So her need Is
fully as great Moreover, the distance
which the British and the French troops
needed to traverse in order TO reach the
Italian front was far less than it was in
the case Of Serbia and Rumania; and the
distance was bridged by rail transporta
tion rather than by . long water haul
Il would be surprising If the Anglo
French reinforcements are not within call
in case of dire need. In the meantime
the Italian forces are doing valiantly as
they hurl themselves against the ad-
vance Of the Teutonsin the northern sec /
tion Of the battle front Their success
during the latter part q last week in
Tomba and Persica mountains
from the enemy stands out prominently
~ one Of the military triumphs Of the
var. The Italian armies are surely
finding themselves after their initial

WATERBURY,

The meeting under the auspices of the
educational committee of the Hypatia
club was held in the chapel at the hos
pital Friday evening. Mrs. T. Z. Steele,
lr., president of the club, opened the
meeting, presenting Mrs. w. L. WATSON,
chairman of the committee, who had the
program in charge, The pleasant affair
opened by the ladies' chorus, under the
direction of Mrs. w. l.. Boicourt Their
initial appearance was made last year,
but much improvement has been made in
their rendering and Interpretation of the
music. Following these numbers came
the violin solos of James p. Riley, whose
coming to the front was received with
cheers and whose playing brought hearty
applause, as did the choruses. Another
solo by Mr.. Riley followed the address
of the evening, in all of which, with the
encores, he showed himself an artist
Both the soloist and the chorus were
ably supported by Mrs. Boicourt as ac-
companist Mrs. WATSON was very apt
in her introduction of Hon. Mason S.
Stone of Montpelier, who gave an in
structiye and pleasing address on
China" Mr.. Stones information was
first hand and as he told of the country,
her people, customs ana much OF her edu-
cational system, he held the close atten-
ton OF all All were glad of this oppor-
tunity to hear Mr.. Stone again, as well
as to greet him at the informal reeep-
ton which followed. Out of respect for
food conservation, refreshments were not
served

Berlin Tageblatt announces that "the
English have their troubles in finding
crews for them 1.-THE tanks). There is no
particular passion left for this kind of
sport" Needless to say, this remark was
uttered before Nov. 20-iust six days be-
fore, to be exact; and, if further proof
of the incorrectness of the German theory
is wanted, il only needs to be said that
German reports had it that from $50 to
200 of these tanks were used in the drive
before Cambria. Evidently these $50 TO
200 machines must have been well
manned, or else the British could not
have smashed the Hindenburg line. So
it must be concluded, even by the Ger
mans, that there is still considerable
sport left in tanking. Or it may be that
the British have more sand in entering
these tanks than the Germans have for
summarizing since the American navy
came into the war

war. That which they undoubtedly need
the most is a large number of guns, to-
gether with the shells TO be used in them,
The Italians never have been strong in
big guns and they lost very heavily in
the early attack by the enemy, to say
nothing of the abandonment of large
stores of munitions. Reinforcements
must, therefore, be as much in materials
as in men.
