ALLIES VICTORIOUS EVERYWHERE

The news that is arriving daily
from the European war fronts is so
cheering to the Allies with whom
the United States is now closely as
ISOLATED that it will repay every
reader to keep closely in touch with
the dispatches. Take a good chart
of Europe and mark upon it the posi-
ton of the Allies two years ago, a
year ago and to-day, and it will be
evident at once that the Germans
and their associated powers are being
slowly but surely forced back. In
the meantime the German navy clings
to the safety afforded by the kiel
canal and Wilhelmshaven. 1t is as
surely tied up as if it were on the
drydock,
The facts as they stand are especial
ly pleasing. says the Reno Gazette.
The Austrians along the Isonzo front
are beginning to Waiver and the ltal-
ian army is held back but by a thread
from its advance on Triest. The
strong Austrian defenses have fallen
into the hands of the Italians and the
war office at Rome appears to be full
ly justified in the confidence with
which it announces the progress of
the Italian army. Meanwhile or the
Verdun front all the powers of the
crown prince have been hurled at
the French but without avail. Gen.
Petain's forces hold everything they
gained Monday and they have infict-
ed heavy losses upon the Germans
besides taking 5000 prisoners. Still
further to the north, the British are
closing in on Lens. where the Cana
dams this morning again disting-
uished themselves by their brilliant
daring.
1t is certainly a gloomy outlook for
the Germans, and for the Austrians
on the Rumanian front there is little
encouragement although they have
driven back the Rumanian first line
at Fokshani and have captured a part
of the trenches at Ocna. Ocna is rs
miles west of Jassy in Moldavia. but
the rs miles of territory lying be.
tween the two places is of such g
character that the Tyrol and Swis.
Alps can alone be compared to it
The determined stand made by the
Rumanian-R Russian armies is itself /;
lesson to the Austrians. The way
they OVERRIDE the Rumanians in tn,
Wallachian plains last year may hav'
led the Austrians to think they coult
repeat their rapid advance, but tn
defense of Fokshani and Ocna is of
sort that should undeceive them.
This is the kind of news that shoul,
put fresh courage into any of on
Allies. if ever there was need of it o
if at any time there was a tendenc.
to falter. The doom of Germany il
sealed.
