Enemy Admires Defense.

0nly a few days ago 1 was at the
front There is nothing finer than the
defense Of Monte Grapha and of Monte
Tonba; even the enemy admires this
Every inch of ground has been fought
feEswith ferocious violence Thus Italy
VIII resist. But there is need of an eff
fort on the part of the allies. They
must have clearly in mind that Ger
n1aAy has no other aim or thought at
the present time than to crush Italy
Ths allies therefore must understand
tho. great danger that is upon them
The fall of Italy would mean the preci-
piGe of the war. What happened to
thessmaller states that have fallen, also
'tQsRussia. would happen in turn to
Italy
'Fhen all the power of Germany and
Au1tria and of their satellites would
beturned against France. No help from
the non-continental allies could then
save her. Therefore it is imperative to
resist the enemy in Italy proudly and
hr1nly.
.Eothing must be surrendered. Let
useunderstand that this war Is being
objected In our country. The Italians
ara rnow ready for every sacrifice Mis-
fortune has struck them. but not
broken them.
= Situation Will Be Better.
ST. as 1 believe. we resist-for I'm
.tothew we have resisted with our own
:st&Hngth-from the military point of
vtew. the situation will be better. This
issl direct consequence of the sad hap
pspings at the end of October. In fact,
thu front, on account of the loss of
.theprovince of Friui and of the great
territory of VeneZia invaded by the
er4my. will be reduced in length to
.p6Ghaps about half of what it was be-
,,fosk
consequently we can have double
sth6s number of soldiers on each kilo-
lms9er of front. If we get in time ar
stffkhry and ammunition we will pre-
apafe for victory and revenge, but the
{an4es must make rapid and ener-
igs{1c effort.

GOULD MAKES NO EXEMPTION cLAIu
New York Times.)

tNew York Times.
Kingdom Gould, son of George J. Gould.
had no filed the afiidavits necessary to
support his claim for exemption from the
draft up To noo yesterday, when the time
limit expired, and his friends said last
night that he had abandoned all thought
of trying to avoid military service. Mr.,
Gould appeared before the exemption
board at Toms River. y. j., on August 4
and received an exemption blank, at his
request, on the same day. His claim claim
was based On the fact that he had a wife
depending upon him for support. Early
in the previous month Mr.. Gould had mar
ricd Miss Annunziata Camilla Maria Luc-
ci, an Italian girl who had been studying
are in New York city, and his explana-
ton was that lac was not a wealthy as
many persons supposed and his wifi,
would be in financial straits ii he vent int,
the national army. The Following day
however. Mr.. Gould was quoted a, saying
that he thought his wife could "skiml
through even if he went into the army.
Nobody has amy idea Of how N,
finances stand" he was quoted AZ say
ing. Il am not wealthy. People, il seems
merely think that the name Of Goult
should mean that one has great wealth
The only thought in my mind when h,
asked for the exemption blank wa-
whether my wife could skimp through il
my absence. That led me to declare On
intention to claim exemption"
lie added that after talking the matter
over with his wife, who was anxious fol
him to do his hit. he decided not To pres,
his exemption. Under the law he woul,
have been required 10 submit afiidaviis
from his wife and a disintercstcd party al
|leging the dependency of his wife. but a.
he had filed neither of these affidavit
yesterday he il nov IN the army.

How to Protect Floor.

When your kitchen floor has been
vanished or painted, you may use your
stove and sink just the same by taking
two wide boards and mailing one large
size cork on each end and two in the
center. When the floor is dry and the
boards are taken up, there will only
be the places where the corks rested to
touch up.
