The Nar AtA Glance

TALT'S soldiers have failed TO
check the onrush Of the Aus
4 tro-Germaus and the entire
line Of the Isonzo is threatened
with humiliation. Sweeping down
from the mountains into the
plains Of FriuIi. the invaders have
captured CiyidaIe and Gorilla,
100000 prisoners and 700 guns.
Great Britain and France are
reported to be taking steps to
give the shattered italian army
prompt and fun support What
form this aid viii take, has not
been disclosed. The French cabi-
net met last night and decided
upon the manner OF cooperation
on the Italian front
Where Gen. Cadorna viii make
a stand is not yet clear. but two
positions, capable Of defence. are
available. The Germans have
reached the lowlands and are but
nine miles from Udine, Cadorna's
general headquarters. The rail-
road running north and south
through Udine might make a de-
fensive line. but the TagIiamentO
river, IS miles west OF Udine,
probably would offer a stronger
defence.
Fail OF GOrizia a Menace
The fail Of Gorilla is a serious
menace TO the Italian troops hold
ing the Carso line southwark to
the head Of the Adriatic, but Gen.
Cadorna still would be able TO Of
fer stout resistance on q line run
ming through TOlmeZzO, Gemona.
Udine, ButtriO and Gradisca. The
capture Of Gradisca by the Teu-
tons, however, would make a re-
treat from the Carso inevitable
and also somewhat OF difficulty.
The line Of the Tagliamento river,
it appears, would give the Italians
the better natural position from
which TO hold the Germans from
the Venetian plains and the over
running Of northern Italy.
Whole IsOnzO Line in Danger
While the whole IsOnzo line is
in grave danger, there is also a
serious threat in the TeutOn drive
TO the Italian line in the Carnic
Alps and even in the D0lOmites,
north OF BellunO- Apparently
field marshal Mackensen is en-
deavoring TO drive q wedge be
tween the armies on the CarsO
front and those in the mountains
northeast of Udine. Some Of the
advanced Italian positions in the
Carnic Alps probably have been
abandoned already. If this should
prove true the TaEliamento river
seems 70 offer Gen. Cardona his
first defensive line. unless his
armies stiffen greatly and hold
the invaders within . few miles Of
their present positions

peninsula. south Of Dixmude. has
been captured by allied troops,
who have also taken Merckem and
several other villages west Of the

SCIENCE MAY BRING
GIANTS INTO WORLD

Berkeley, Cal. Jan.20.-Science, pos
sibly in the next generation, will pro-
duce n race Of giants.
University Of California scientists
have discovered the substance that
produces growth in the human body.
1t was announced today. Tethelin Is
what they call it, 1t is located in the
pituitary body at the base of the brain,
and it may be possible to control the
stature of human beings by retarding
or accelerating it's functions, the
Berkeley authorities believe.
Announcement of the discovery was
made by DIR. T. j. Robertson, professor
of biochemistry. who said he had sue
cccded in isolating tethelin and he be-
lieved u was the first time In the
history Of biological science 1t had been
done.
DR.. Robertson said his experiments
covered four years and that the ulti-
mate importance Of the discoveries
made by him and his assistants could
not be estimated at this time

EXPRESS COMPANIES
WIN IN DAKOTA CASE

Pierre. S. D., Jan. 20.-The supreme
court Of South Dakota in formal
opinion handed down today in the &C.
ton Of the state against express COM
panies, operating in South Dakota,
held that the interstate commerce
commission had no control over intra-
state rates and took issue with a de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States in the Shreveport. La.
litigation holding that the federal court
was in error in finding that the federal
constitution authorized federal control
of intrastate tariffs.
In conclusion the supreme court
sustained the railway commission In
the action brought to prevent the ex-
press companies from instituting the
new rates.
The case involves the institution of
increases in intrastatc rates to corre-
spond with the level of the existent
Interstate schedules, arising in argui
ments brought by the Sioux City.
Iowa. commercial club. to compel the
increase.
The interstate commerce commission
in a decision had ordered the new rate
put into effect Court held there is
nothing in the interstate commerce
act which gives the interstate COM
merce commission control of intra.
state rates.

ALICE VIOLATION

In view of these charges Secretary
Lane will not permit the entries to be

is determined if the lands can be
properly designated for homesteading

1t Is expected also that regulations

contain provisions recurring local land
officials to reject entries made by
those who are not bona fide settlers

New Fuel and Perhaps New

The more general adoption of auto.
mobile transportation must inevitably

possible for one out Of every IS of us
to buy an automobile have brought

supply of gasoline Is rapidly nearing
exhaustion. Twenty years ago gasoline
was well-nigh useless; kerosene was
the profitable fraction distilled from
petroleum. Now oil companies must
send commercial missionaries to China
and India to teach the Orient the vir-
tues Of the kerosene lamp. At the
present rate of consumption the auto
mobile demand for gasoline can hardly
be supplied for another 20 years.
1t is abundantly evident that within
the next decade a new fuel must be
found for the automobile. Germany
has demonstrated the possibility of
driving motor vehicles with benzole, a
by-product obtained in the manufac-
ture of coke. But since benzole is
not produced in sufficiently large
quantities, and since. moreover. it is
required in the manufacture of ex-
plosives, dyes and chemicals, it is not
likely to take the place Of gasoline.
Kerosene must drive the automobile

MEXICO NEEDS Schools
David Starr Jordan Says
Free Education Will Be
Salvation Of People. !.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-David Starr Jor-
dan and self constituted committee
of United States Investigators have
made recommendations for interven-
ton in Mexico. not by force of arms,
but by free. non-sectarian schools.
This committee began studying Mexi-
can conditions about year and a
half ago. Its conclusions were sum-
married as follows:
The chaos existing in Mexico Is
due to variety of racial elements:
woeful lack of general education; still
greater lack Of political experience.
and rapacity and cupidity of the edu-
Gated leaders. and in a few instances
of intelligent uneducated."
To make EDUCATIONAL intervention eff
fective. the committee recommended
| establishment of non- sectarian COL
lege, modelled after the Robert college
in Constantinople. The recommended
ton does not say what agency should
establish such q college, except that it
should have the backing of the Ameri-
can people.
Lack Of intelligence and true lead
ership," says the report, "have thwart-
ed attainment of liberty in MexicaM
revolutions" An abstract of the re-
port reads:
The crying need of Mexico is edit
cation-a type of education that will
lift the common people out of their
s:Oth and ignorance and enlist the
better classes in a real patriotic serv.
ice.
"The problem is one for the people
of the United States as well as the
Mexicans. Such q proposal is no
more than were similar ones in ref
erence to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. The Mexican natives
have the capacity and If they are given
the opportunity will readily acquire
industrial education. The higher
classes. in spite of the common i'm
preston. have a cultural basis that
wisely directed, will enable them to
hold their own intellectually with the
other peoples of America.
Mexico needs an institution that
will do for her what Robert college
did in Constantinople. Such an insti.
tuition should be free from all sec.
tartan influence. should be manned b.
instructors fully devoted to their work
and should direct itself to training tn,
future leaders in Mexico ins a spirit O
true sacrifice and devotion to the bes
interests Of the country. No bette
task could be undertaken by thos,
who have the real good of Mexico a
heart. Neither the resources of tn
country nor the present complication
permit her own citizens to undertak,
this work. 1t must be done by out
siders. 1t will be an Intervention
| worth WHILE"
