Two Phases of Offensives.

1 already said that Italy has plenty
of men available when general often
sives are launched. By their momentum
they go only SO far, and then there
must come the period of cooling off and
preparing to go on again. That Is be-
cause in modern offensives there are
only two phases-preparation by ar
tillery and then exploitation. Periods of
preparation, with guns as thick as they
are now adeys, are usually about. per-
feet, but periods of exploitation can
only extend just SO far. in@ofder that
the artillery preparations may begin
once more.
crossing the Isonzo at one Of the ia
nous fourteen bridges. where the Ital-
ian attack began. The 1sonzo. which
is glacier water. and therefore also a
most sinister green, is a. torrent that
runs through mountain gorges it's en-
tire length until it comes out into the
plain at Gorizia. At some points this
gorge rises sheer for thousands of feet,
as between Santo and Sabotino. where
it is SO deep, dark and narrow that one
gets deluded idea he can jump across.
although the distance between crests
is about a mile.
AS we approached the river coming
down from Mount Zagradan in the
north we could see it while we were
miles away and far above it. The
stream writhed along at a tremendous
rate exactly like beautiful green
snake sometimes dark and dangerous,
at other times d beautiful simmer
where sun ray penetrated between
the mountain peaks and crept into the
valley Through its entire course,
except in the Gorizia plain, the gorge
is 80 steep that at no point can one
ever go down to the actual level of
the water.

UNEASY OPTIMISM

Telegram Affair.""
FEAR HEAVY DAYS AHEAD
BY CYRIL BROWN.
Cabiegram to The Sunday Star and
New York World. COpyriRht. 191..

STOCKHOLM, September 1.-THE
inspired" press is already beginning
to talk about "the echoes of the cipher
telegram affair" as if the affair" were
all over. The story of German perfdy
has disappeared from the front pages
Of the newspapers and the actual news
about Secretary Lansing's revelations
and their consequences is dwindltng
rapidly, quoted American and English
comment, in particular. is growing
slender.
1t is perfectly plain to any one IA
miliar with the technique Of such an op-
Grafton that this news Topping is being
done to prevent the Swedish people
from being alarmed pending further
developments. The man in the street
is not bothering his head about the po-
tentialities of the affair. Only the high
est social. political and diplomatic
circles have premonition that there
is more to come after President Will
sons return to Washington.

On Threshold of Grave Problems.

Insiders know. too, that not only
America, but the entente nations. can
be expected tc evince an active inter-
est in the further developments which
may well be accompanied by political
and diplomatic pressure. So Sweden
may truly be said to be merely on the
threshold Of grave problems and vital
decisions.
While waiting for President Wilson.
we'll informed Swedes are oppressed by
a nightmare sensation as if facing
some great unknown design. with no
telling when or how it will break.
The press department of the foreign
Office gave out only q word. ''the situ-
alton is reassuring.' to neutral cor
respondents yesterday, otherwise con-
tinuing to mark time and say moth
ing. Its state of mind recalls tn,
mixed emotions of the Berlin foreign
Office while awaiting Americas re-
sponse to the first Lusitania note-un-

timfstic Interpretation attached by the
conservative press to the fact that the
! conversations between the American
minister. Mr. Morris, and Foreign Min
lister Lindman. had taken place with
all due mutual courtesy and conven-

amateurs WILL TAKE
TELEGRAPHERS' PLACES
Drafted Western Union Men to Be
Replaced BY Students.

A force Of fifty. young men and women
are hard at work in the local office of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
mastering the new automatic system OF
telegraphy so they may take the places
OF those who are called to the front.
Similar classes are In formation in
other offices all over the country among
the 25,O0O employees of the company. The
junior employees are receiving special at
tention along this line, and the company's
ofticials express confidence that they will
be able to MI the places OF those who are
conscripted as fast as they occur.
There are In the country great numbers
of amateur wireless operators whose ex-
periments have been temporarily discon-
unued. and It is among these that the
telegraph companies hope to recruit men
and women TO NIL the gaps that are bound
to occur. Understanding as they do the
fundamentals OF telegraphy. no uneasi-
ness is manifest among the companies
over the prospective shortage of regular
telegraph operators.
The new automatic telegraph instru-
ments are the latest contribution of
science in the sending and receiving OF
the messages OF the nations immense
telegraph systems.

The report OF the Federal Trade Com
mission. submitted TO Congress yester-
day, and tending to show that the high
price and shortase Of anthracite coal is
due to speculation, has convinced leg
islStors fully OF the need of wide sweep
ing coal legislation.
Coal regulation has been advised by the
National Council OF Defense. as one Of
the most necessary pieces OF war legis-
lation, inasmuch as the operations Of not
only cur navy. but the navieS OF France
and Italy are largely dependent upon the
American coal supply.
Federal trade investigations would tend
to show that SPECTATORS have at preesnt
control over the anthracite coal supply
OF the country and Senators and Con-
gressmen are aroused to the fact that
war prices for all sorts OF coal will be-
ecrne almost prohibitive unless there Is
legislative relief.
Early this week bills will be intro
d 'eed which will place the coal mines

dJnt Wilson directing their operation and
production and determining a fair price
Tor the output. This legislation will be
fully a. drastic as the food legislation
which now seems certain TO pass Con-
gress and become a law.

lean boys over sixteen years old and
less than the regular age for army serv-
ice, Will be drawn to augment the in

These boys, who will be used chiefly
in agricultural pursuits, will be asked
10 enroll 70 help the nation in time of
war and although the Department did
not designate the boundaries of the six
teen zones, 1t Is believed that these zones
will correspond to the military zones
established by the War Department for
the drawing of conscripts into the army.
Already, the Board of Education OF
the District has ISSUED an appeal to
Washington school boys to enroll in
this work All boys who have received
manual training probably will be put
to work in various shipyards throughout
the country.
William Edwin Hall, Of New York,
has been named national director in
charge OF the work. lie will receive the
assistance of a national committee COM
posed OF governors OF the various States
and the leaders of boy organizations of
the country Hall also will have the
assistance of a national advisory council,
composed of recognized experts on farm
management, physical welfare, medical
supervision, transportation, finance, and
wage rates.
1t is believed that in the forma ton
of these sixteen zones, the District of
Columbia probably will be grouped with
Maryland and Virginia in the formation
of one zone. The zones will be divided
into districts in charge OF district or
ganizers, who will perfect local organI-
cations.

FAMILIES IN DIRE NEED
BECAUSE OF WAR PRICES
Instances of Lack of Food Reported
by Central Union Mission
Investigators.

Despite the high wage scales in most
lines of industry. the war prices on
foodstuffs and other necessities have
left many Washington families in dire
need. according to investigators for the
Central Union Mission. Two extreme
cases have been brought to the atten-
tion of John S. Bennett. who issued an
appeal today for some philanthropist
to come forward and help brighten
one of these homes for Christmas.
In one instance the father of seven
children, who was getting so cents an
hour as carpenters helper. dropped
beam on his foot and was disabled.
While at home with his injury his
siX-month-old baby died. taking the
last of his meager savings-S2o. The
father is still unable to work and the
wife and remaining six little ones are
for existence until the man
can return to his job.
The other case is that of a man who
was earning 20 cents an hour, on which
to support a wife and two children.
when he became i'll of rheumatism.
He was home one week. when his en-
ployer informed him his place had been
filled Mr.. Bennett will furnish further
tion on either case.

Food Conservation.

I'm cutting out fat living, since
folks have let me know that eat
ing pies is giving much comfort
to the foe. l shy at ducks and
geeses, and eat things l abhor,
since told that fats and greases
are needed in the war. My aunt,
who is dandy, is helping on the
cause; she isn't eating candy or
ice cream as she was; her diet will
improve her, as it will surely aid
all girls who hoove with Hoover,
and join the food parade And |
am feeling finer than l have felt
for years; I've been an ardent
diner, consuming roasted steers.
I've cleaned the plate and platter
with gluttonous delight, and kept
on getting fatter until l was a
sight. But now I'm eating saw
dust and boiled excelsior, to help,
in manner modest, our country
win the war. And | am feeling
filter than since | was a lad; all
day sing and twitter. l am SO
beastly glad. From here to far
Vancouver the fat men bear their
load, and they should hoove with
Hoover, since | have shown the
road. This fact will bear repeat
ing in this most crucial time !;
we're all too fond of eating, when
stuffing is a crime. And so, in
language moving, l do beseech.
my friends, that you will do your
hooving as Hoover recommends.
