Editorial Comment
The Lucky Lobster.
Boston POST

The Fisheries Commission of Maine
reports that thus far this season the
number OF lobstermen applying for H.
censes to practise their craft is less
by some 700 than usual. AS more than
5000 licenses have been issued how
ever the industry will not become ex-
tinct
The interesting point in the situa
ton is that this condition is attrjbut-
ed largely to the high price and scar
city or the supply of spruce lumber
with which lobster pots are construct
ed of manila hemp with which the
fishing boats are rugged and of gaso-
line with which the motors are driven.
1t Is perhaps the only instance in
which the great advance in the cost of
material has affected the animal
world, Ana in this it is Holsters that
are lucky. Their existence is to be
rendered more secure. while the fisher
men and the partakers Of "broiled
i've must pay the difference.

What we had previously only dared
hope seems to be confirmed in the dis
PATCHES from Rome-that the Austro-
German drive for the plains Of Italy
has proved costly experiment, in con-
tradictiCn OF the famed Prussia.n mill
tary astuteness, and for which the
cause Of the central allies may suffer
disaster.
The drive has failed That fact
seemed to be assured some days ago,
but the terrific onslaughts by General
'onrad in an endeavor to break
tlr3uek the Italian defense, threaten I'd
inomcntarily to crush the courageous
and determined Italians and effect the
aim for which the drive was started to
save the loyalty of the Austrian gov
ernmont and forces to the Prussian
cause.
Just how costly this experiment has
proven for the Austro-German forces
If course we may never know, but it is
known that the Teutons have lost hun
that could be sent from Germany and
from Austria, splendid army we'll
calculated by the war masters to carry
out the terrific undertaking and sweep
aside I'll forces that could be sert
against them until they should reach
the plains where they would find COM
Portable quarters this winter and
where they could live largely off the
territory invaded
But the drive has failed. OF that the
Allies are confident now. And it is be-
lieved that the Teutons, not only have
finally abandoned hope of breaking
through, but that they are also in seri-
Gus difficulties owing to transportation
OF food. water and munitions. Every
day these conditions are growing more
dlftcult and more dangerous to the
great army that has crossed the Alps
and come down into a hostile country
TO meet defeat. We note from the
Rome dispatches that one Of the diff
culties of the situation confronting the
Teutons on the far side of the Alps is
the transportation of water. Should a
terrific blizzard arise such as sometimes
sweep the higher attitudes of the
mountains of Austria Hungary and
mountains into Austria where they
its immediate effect might be expected
To figure largely in the closing of the
conflict.
Not only has the Teuton drive
failed, but the Austrians who were dis
heartened before the drive, have met
with staggering losses. while the shock
troops sent from Germany to lead the
Austrians TO victory have suffered be-
yond description. Thousands Of men
have been killed outright while the
wounded must have suffered from lack
of attention so far beyond the reach of
adequate hospital supplies and attend
ants. The taking back Of the thou
sands of disabled men across the
mountains into Austria where they
may receive anything like proper medi-
cal and surgical care, is a tremendous
undertaking. Yet to remain there
through the winter without losing great
numbers Of their sick and wounded

problem now confronting the war mas
