ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
From his observation post at the
summit of the mountains fianking the
Asiago plateau, one could look down
on the shell-torn and deserted city OF
Asiago, now held by the enemy, with
his lines of entertainments beyond and
his batteries blazing from the long
feange of SUBMITS extending from
Monte Meletta eastward to the
Brenta river.
It was a most impressive mountain
scene, at an altitude Of 5000, with the
clouds lying below, instead OF above,
and the cannonade echoing through
the gorges. s., -,
The ground was covered with an
inch of snow, which had fallen in the
night and the ponds formed in shell
holes were coated with three inches
of ice. =,

Asiago a Desolate Scene.
Some of the men were in tents on
the mountain slopes, others, IN

here in rough frame barracks, which
are being hastily constructed.
Asiago itself presented a desolate
.enect in the midst of the fre-swept
plateau to which it gives the name,
with the Italians on one side and the,
enemy on the other. Houses, churches
and tall campaniles coulitn Unseen

Enemy Guns Arrive. y
The artillery was heavy 'aad conf
tinuotIs. The(colonel said the snemy
was bringing up its guns of large
caliber. Twenty monster proJectlles
had come in bunch early in the day,
opening great craters,. which were
now frozen ponds. There had been
no infantry advances and the colonel
was satisfied with the repulse the en-.
emy had received. The enemy would
doubtless attempt another advance,
the colonel said, but the strength OF
the Itlaian lines gave assurance that
it would be repulsed again.
Austrian prisoners who had been
brought in declared that they recently
came from the Russian front. The
enemy lines were made. up, according
to their officer, of Germans and Aus
trians,, but there were no .Bulgarians
or Turks. The wild nature of this
country was shown while the soldiers
were digging trenches, when they un-
earthed the fosil remains of numer-
ous mastodons of gigantic dimen-
sions.
Infantry on March.
Along the road leading to the front
there was activity, with vast forces
of men and material pushed forward.
nThe correspondent passed batteries OF
fheavy guns, drawn by trains, tractors
and huge, stacks of nine and l2-inch
shells. Infantry was moving forward,
being strung along the road for three
miles. This and frequent evidences
of troops on many roads gave visible
signs of the power being concentrated,
while on every hand the officers and
the men were confident that the en-
emy's great drive from the north had
been held as that from the Piave side
was held. .--

Topeka, Sept. "a report came to
Topeka today that John w Leedy,
ex-governor of Kansas, was opening
a pro-German campaign at his new
home in Camrose, Alberta, Canada. A

the former Populist governor and
saying that propaganda against the
war and the Canadian CONSUMPTION
bill had been started by Leedy nd he
vas gathering some support from the
pacifists. Leedy was elected to an

paign in which he claimed being
author of all banking laws Of Kan

which, according to a report present

accomplish a coup d'etat, by arrest
ing the provisional government. Many
arrests have been made of officers
and civilians in Moscow, west prov
ince and some in Petrograd. The
names of the arrested persons, the
authorities refuse to divulge. 1t APP

THE WHEAT PRICE.

The announcement that the reduc-
tion in the price of wheat is not go
ing to bring a five cent loaf, MOI
probably any reduction in the price
OF bread, places the problem of price
fixing on a new basis. The one OBJ
ject of it was to lower the cost OF
living; If it does not do that who
gets the saving? The government
needs larger acreage of wheat and il
is doubtful If it can obtain it by re-
ducing prices. OF course the farmer
can hold his wheat, and very likely
will to a large extent, hoping that
something will turn up. He is guar
anteed now at least 81 bushel UNI
til May, 1919, and it is entirely pos
sible that If he holds on there will be
higher prices. SO the farmer is real
ly yet in the saddle and what hap
pens to prices will depend on how he
looks at the situation.

MARSE HENRY ON MUSH.

Henry Waterson, in Louisville
Courier Journal: As Herbert c
Hoover is an able and educated maj
it is not quite clear why he persists
in talking to Americans about the
necessity for saving the flour for Eu-
ropeans and eating cornmeal at home
because Europeans do not find corn
meal as palatable as flour, mot I'M
derstanding its preparation.
If Europeans cannot take printed
recipe for mush published in their
own language, and make mush, how
on earth can they make war? Mush is
much more easily made, and is far
more delightful than any feature of
rightly made war save a bloodless
victory.
Kentuckians, and SOutherners gem
orally, know all about corn bread and
regard il, in all OF its manifestations
as an American institution second in
gloriousness to nothing but the Con-
stitution. They ate it in peace and
will eat it in war, with a relish, but
there are Americans who prefer flour
bread. They are as much entitled to
their preference as any European
who, being hungry, says, NO, thank
YOU" when invited to eat bread made
of cornmeal. and turns up his nose.
Europeans have learned a great
deal about how to make new-style
guns, airplanes, gas. gas masks,
trenches. war balloons, tractors and
what not during the war. Could they
not, by assiduous application to a
matter of vital importance. with the
assistance of Mr.. Hoover and his
lieutenants, and with the aid of the
printing press and capable translat-
ors, learn to make mush?
IF you are going to be a loyal
American and eat cornmeal mush as
a breakfast dish, thereby saving more
wheat for the allies e" says Mr..
Hoover
Nobody eats mush as a substitute
for bread. A majority of the break
fast foods are made Of corn or oats
II anybody imagines that mush is, or
will be, eaten as a substitute for bis
cult. rolls, toast or other bread. he
doesn't know from experience much
about the uses Of mush, and he has
also much to learn about corn bread |
