History Repeats

AAORE than one hundred years ago, on May
AVA 25, 1915, Henry Grattan perhaps lrelands
greatest orator, delivered speech which might
very well be made today. He was speaking OF
Napoleon Today it is the Kaiser. Said the
orator: 81.
"England had checked his designs; her trident had
stirred up his Empire from its foundations; he
complained Of her tyranny at Sea !; but it was her
power at sea which arrested his tyranny on land
the Navy of England saved Europe"
He who said i will be like the Most High; he
who smote the nations (smalD with continual
stroke-this shOrt-lived son of the morning, Lucl-
fer, falls and the earth is at rest"
"In the meantime while he Processes liberty, he
exercises despotc power, he annihates the mobiles,
he banishes the deputies of the people and he Sc
questers the property OF the emigrants"
rSuch offers of peace are nothing more than one
OF the arts of war, attended most assWedly by
charging on you the odium of long and protract-
ed contest and with much commonplace and many
good Saws and sayings Of the miseries of blood
shed, and the savings aU good husbandry OF peace.
But if you listen to this you will be
much deceived-not only deceived, but you will
be beaten"
Suppose you treat for peace You will have a
peace upon war establishment, and then war
without yourpresent Allies"
"Do you wish to confirm this military Tyranny
in the heart of Europe? A tyranny founded on the
triumph Of the army over the principles OF civil
government. tending to universalize throughout
Europe the domination of the sword and to reduce
to paper and parchment Magma Charta and all our
civil institutions an experiment to set
Heaven and earth adrift from one another, and
make God Almighty tolerated alien in His Own
creation"
"You must not consider the money you spend in
your defense but the fortune you would lose if you
were not defended q. further, re-
collect you will pay less to an immediate war than
TO peace with war establishment, and war to
follow. -. Recollect further, that whatev-
er be your resources they must outlast those of
all your enemies" 49,.

BIG BATTLE FOR GABRIELLE
ITALIANS AND AUSTRIANS sTRUa-
GLE FOR COMMANDING PEAK.
Austrian Mountain Northeast OF
Gorilla Changes Hands
Again and Again.

London.-More fiercely than at any
time since the beginning of the Italian
offensive the battle is now raging to
the northeast of Gorilla. Monte San
Gabrielle is the prize for which the
opposing armies are struggling. I'm
officially reported as having been
taken by the Italians, it develops that
the Austrians are again in posses
sion of the summit to this strong
hold-the sentinel of Go4Izia which
dominates both the Isonzo Valley and
the southern part of the 3ainsizza
plateau.
Several times, according to de-
spatches from Austrian headquarters,
the Italians have captured the sum-
nit, but have been hurled back down
it's slopes each time. Nevertheless,
they gradually are taking all the sur
rounding supports and destroying
little by little the network of forti-
ications which the Austrians have
spread along this section of the battle
front.
After the Austrians recaptured the
summit for the last time there was
respite in the fighting, but soon the
Italians renewed the attack. Six
times, in mass formation, they
stormed up the sides of the height.
The strong resistance of the Aus
TRANS is due to reinforcements
transferred from the Russo-Rouman-
ian and Balkan fronts They have
been brought up In large numbers to
strengthen the Austrian line not only
northeast Of Gorilla but northwest
Of Hermada In the Carso area.
In the Hermada sector the Aus
TRANS have gathered the flower of
their force, for should their positions
there fall the gateway to Trieste
would be thrown wide open. Because
Of this their counter attacks around
he village of Selo have been as des-
perate as those at San Gabrielle.

WHISkEY MAKING STOPS.
Most DistiIIeries to Produce Alcohol
for Munitions.

hington.-Eleven o'clock Satur-
day night sounded the death knell of
the manufacture of Whiskey and all
other distilled liquors in the United
States. 1t was also the deadline for
the receipt of any more imported
liquors.
A British steamship brought to New
York on Saturday $4,000 gallons of
Scotch whskey, the last that can be
imported before the food conservation
law goes into effect. The consignees'
agents put large force at work so the
cargo could be ashore and cleared
through the Custom House before Sun
day. 1t was the largest single shin.
ment ever received at that port.
The elimination of the manufacture
OF alcoholic liquors under the Federal
edict put out of business sos disti.
leries that were engaged in the manu-.
facture of these beverages. Govern
ment officials say a large number of
these plants will be converted into
manufacturing establishments for the
production of Industrial alcohol. and
others will be made into munition
plants.
Experts say about 100000 900 bushels
OF grain are used by the distilleries
each year, of which about 10000 600
bushels go into whiskey manufacture.
Up to a short time ago the govern.
ment levied tax of $11O on each gal.
Ion of whiskey. Now it has added
$2.lO per gallon, making the tax on a
gallon $500 Rectifers pay an addi.
tional 10 cents, making a total of s895
on every gallon Of whiskey which the
rectifier handles.
Barre granite has been put to many
usages but the last coming to light, and
perhaps the most unique, is a monument
