He Ran from Bull

bill" Bryan didn't have any such a
"bulr' chase as the papers credited
him with, so he told friends during
his visit to this city.
He said that the bull had been
shot" before he arrived on the scene.
Therefore, he had an opportunity
neither to shoot the bull nor to run
from it.
THE newspaper men out West
knew that it was some local man
who made for the tree when the
bull showed up" Mr.. Bryan said.
But they preferred not to let facts
stand in the way of a good story and
they gave me credit for making the
rum
Mr.. Bryan admitted that he was
hunting, however, and that a bull
had also been hunting about the
same time in about the same general
territory-but that, fortunately for
Mr.. Bryan, he and the bull did not
happen to be at the same spot at
the same time.

Precisely as Won Buelow struck

Cadorna's line about Gorizia. the
Austro-Germans can now strike south
from Borgo. north of the ASiago
plateau, behind the Piave line. If
they succeed in such a stroke, the
Piave line will be turned and the
old question will be raised again as
to whether the italian retreat can
be carried out successfully or there
will be a supreme military disaster.

seem to indicate that the Italians

the military side it will bring n Sc

1t is essential to recognize that
the Italians have not been defeated

idea skurrying about in an effort
to prevent the dedication of this
country to any such task.
In this connection. so it appear
ed yesterday. an effort will be made
to take the Borah resolution off the
Senate table and have this passed
either in its present or slightly
modified form.
This resolution, which was in

tanglements of any kind, and seeks
to limit this country to accomplish

things wherein this country has it.

Grave Questions Involved.
While 1t does not deal essentially
with ultimate peace, the inference
drawn from it is that America can
and should seek a conclusion of the
war just as soon as its reasons for
entering the war are satisfied.
Members of Congress already in
the city realize the gravity of the
question involved. Even the Senator
from Idaho sees that questions of
tremendous concern to this country
are involved in his resolution, he in

Americas attitude may be more
clearly defined to the allies when
Col f. NJ. House and his committee
return to this country. This body
is now on a mission abroad and Will
look into this very problem, and
the coloneis recommendations Will
have a potent bearing on the future
course of this country in this and
many other respects.
The ability of this country to
maintain a course apart from its
European allies and yet to fight with
them in concert is shown in the
failure to declare war against Aus
tria.
While this IS only a formal step,
under circumstances, still it has
been the cause of some concern. and
indicates that this country can ad-
here to its separate course without
either inconveniencing the allies or
weakening the united fight against
the central powers.
