THE LEAST TOLERABLE PEN
ATTY

There has been shortage of sugar,
and prices have mounted accordingly
in some places far beyond just
level.
While the shortage was at its
height, Federal secret service agents
reported to Washington the discovery
of millions of pounds Of sugar con-
cealed in Buffalo warehouses. The
purpose of this concealment was un-
mistakeable-mad so by the fact that
the sugar was labelled stop crust
-four" and that flour was even scat
tered over the outside of some of the
containers.
This is a species of business that
isn't going to be healthy.
We know what would happen in a
primitive community where there was
food shortage and some member
was found hiding food to sell at exorb-
liant profit. He would be strung up
in about ten minutes. Well, war con-
ditions are pretty likely to resolve the
most highly civilized community into
pretty primitive conditions, and GER
tainly such Incidents as this at Buff
falo will help enormously to that end.
The very slightest penalty tolerable,
when such criminal greed. is discover
ed, is to confiscate the boarded store
and deprive the criminal not only Of
his anticipated profits but his invest
ment as WE'LL

realize that it is important to streng-
then the Russian lines at the earliest
possible moment. Kerensky startled
the Allies by making the statement
that Russia was simply worn out by
the war and informed them that in the
future the Allies would have to bear
the brunt. There was no suggestion,
however, that Russia would favor a
separate peace and it is believed that
she will stay with the Allies to the
end. The Allies realize more and more
that the west line must be held at all
odds. Not only must the line be held,
but the Germans must be pushed back
into their own country. Already the
Allies have taken as much French ter
ritory from the Germans as the latter
now occupy. The Allies continue to
peck away at the Germans, making
steady gains in the west. The English
and the French are said to have not
yet attained the height of their man
power while Germany already is at
her height. The United States instead
of sending in two million troops will
probably have to send over five mil
lion before the war can end. All eyes
turn toward America at this time.

John F. Hylan was elected mayor
of New York city, receiving more
votes that both Mitchell, the fusion
candidate, and Hillquit, the Socialist
candidate, combined. Hylan polled
approximately 2S8,435 votes, while
Mitchell was poor second with 1885,
900 some votes and Hillquit was a
poor third with little over $1,000.
Hylan was the Tammany candidate
while Mitchell had the support of such
men as Roosevelt and Hughes. Nit
chel had the support of practically all
of the New York papers excepting
those owned by W. R. Hearst. The
New York election was watched close
ly all over the United States. Mayor
Mitchell has given that city the best
administration in its history but lost
out at the primaries. His friends
contended that had the full vote got
ten out he would have been nominal
ed easily, and consequently he was
induced to become fusion candidate.

The Garmans and Austrians con-
tinue their advance into Italy and to
date have captured more than 100000
Italians. General Codorna is evident
ly trying to retreat successfully to a
place where his line may be shortened
and thus strengthened before he
makes a stand. English and French
representatives have been sent to
Rome to confer with the Italian offic-
ials and the Allies are without doubt
rushing assistance in the way of SOL
diers, munitions and supplies into
Italy. The German advance must be
checked. 1t is estimated than nearly
a million German soldiers have been
taken off the Russian line to assist the
Austrians in making their crushing
blow Germany is playing the game
for all that she is worth. Winter will
soon be at hand and she wants to
make showing before it becomes
necessary for her to go into winter
quarters. She tented as tho she was
going to make further advances into
Russia, and while the Allies had their
eyes turned toward Russia, she sud-
denly poured her troops across the
Italian line. Germany is far from be-
ing whipped and it is certain now that
it will take two or three years longer
to do the trick. War experts figure
that while the Italian affair is seri-
Gus, it is not necessarily fatal. They

America daily is coming to great
realization that we are at war. A
small band of American soldiers in
one of the first line trenches was at
tackled by a German scouting party
in overwhelming numbers and several
of our troops were killed, wounded and
captured. There was hand to hand
fighting and the Germans must have
been made to realize that they were
fighting a foe worthy of their steel.
One wounded German was captured
while other wounded Germans were
carried off the field by their COM
rades. The first U. S. war vessel, the
converted yacht, Alcedo, was sunk
by German submarine in the war
zone and one officer and 20 enlisted
men are missing. The Alcedo carried
crew of seven officers and IS en-
listed men. AS soon as our soldiers
really get to fighting, we must expect
that the casualty list will soon run
up into thousands instead of a score
or two. America might just as well
realize first as last that before this
war is won, countless thousands Of
lives of our brave men must be given
up in the struggle.

ben turned into defeat. They were
told long ago that Italy did not need
men but that she did need supplies.
Great Britain was apparently able to
send some guns, but not enough. me
United States did nothing. 1t has
taken actual disaster to bring US to a
realizing sense of our duty to our ally.
Whether the ostensible status of Aus
tro- American relations has hampered
us is not quite clear But any purpose
of inducing Austria to make a sepa-
rate peace which these relations may
have served is now out of the ques-
ton. BY rushing her own armies to
save the Austro-H Hungarian Empire
from a crushing defeat Germany has
cemented the alliance of the Central
Powers more firmly than ever. There
is not likely to be any more separate
peace talk from Vienna for some time
to come. This aspect of the situation
ought to be promptly recognized at
Washington. The American contribu-
ton to Italy has been prompt and
generous enough at last. But why
keep up the fiction that we are not at
war with Austria?
Nor is this the only political ele-
ment in the crisis. There are two
very obvious purposes behind this
new German drive. One is to stimu-
late dissension among the pacifists or
PROF. Germans with whom they as we'll
as we are cursed. Rumors of corrup-
ton in high places should not be TAX
en- too seriously. 1t is difficult for
those who know the temper of the
Italians to believe that they can be
demoralized as the Russians have
been. On the contrary, the reports
indicate that this great disaster has
united them as never before and that
they will stand fast if their Allies
stand by. The second purpose of the
drive is to encourage the German peo-
pie to think that the final victory will
be theirs. Success in Italy will draw
attention from failure on the western
front. 1t may even postpone the pos
sibilties of rupture between the I'm
perial Government and the Reichstag
and strengthen the power of the mill
tary party. In sense, this may be
the most serious consequence of the
disaster. Prompt action may mini
mize it's military results. But it's po-
litical results may be witnessed in re-
newed confidence on the part of the
Central Powers and a prolongation Of
the war.

TWO ASPECTS OF THE ITALIAN
DISA STER.

Present conditions in Italy must be
viewed in two aspects-the military
and the political. The first is for the
moment the more important. 1t would
be futile to attempt to minimize the
serious nature of the disaster which
has overtaken the Italian arms. If
General Cadorna cannot make stand
behind the Tagliamento, he may have
to retire as far as the Pc and the
Adige, leaving the enemy to overrun
the province of Venezia. In that case
the morale both Of the army and of
the people might be broken. But there
is no occasion as yet to anticipate such
a calamitous outcome of the Austro-
German offensive. 1t is plain now
that the hasty accusation of coward
ice against the italian second army
was unjust. The attack on that part
of the line was made with a new kind
of gas and with new batteries of un-
known range. Retreat was inevitable.
1t seems to have been an orderly re-
treat and not a rout. If it maintains
this character repetition of the Ru-
manian collapse is unlikely. All the
great gains of two years have been
lost almost in a day. Probably the
war in this quarter will be fought for
some time on italian soil. Yet if
there is proper cooperation among
the Allies, the Italians may rally al
the Tagliamento just as the French
rallied at the Marine. Their heroic
qualities were amply demonstrated by
the vigor Of their offensive. It is
only fair to assume that they possess
them still.
Everything now depends upon the
speed with which the Allies can come
to the rescue Of Italy. It is impossi
BILE to absolve these from all blame fol
