Italv Ralnn IInihad-

Washington, Oct. 31.-Gratifying
evidence OF the unifying effect upon
the Italian people of the Austro-
German offensive is shown by OFF,
cial cablegrams received here today.
Socialists have shown a disposition
for a truce in political struggles.
The parliamentary Socialistic group
has had several meetings to con-
slider plans OF cooperation with the
government.
The Austro- German offensive is
regarded as the last desperate at
tempt of the central powers by
crushing Italy to force a peace before
the fourth winter Of war begins.
Military experts in Rome are
pointing out that the enormous
numerical superiority OF the enemy
along the entire Italian front makes
1t necessary to mass the Italian
forces by drawing hack the arch
front and shortening the lines, which
are now divided and notched along
the Isonzo. While this will consoli-
date and strengthen the Italian lines,
the enemy lines will diminish in
strength as they advance as they will
be obliged to use a large force %
maintain their communications and
will lose the impetus of the first
dash.

Good Work.

Fairfax Harrison, Chairman OF
the Railroads War Board, has
made a very interesting and en-
couraging report of savings of car
space through the cooperation of
shippers and railroad managers.
By loading cars in such a way as
to utilize all space practicable
curing July, the number of avail
able cars was increased 100, 600.
1t is apparent that the railroad
committee has done good work.
Under ordinary conditions, ship
pers are likely to waste q great
deal of car space, consulting only
their own convenience and needs,
1t is to be hoped that the practice
of using car space economically
will be kept up after the war is
over.

A Splendid Example.

Some time ago, there was or
ganized by about eighteen of the
young married women of the city,
a club, for the study of political
science and the science of gov
eminent during the winter. But
since the organization of the local
chapter of the Red Cross, the
club has, by unanimous consent,
determined to forego the objects
of its organization, and instead
of studying the subject previous.

require much time and effort on
the part of those presenting pa
pers from time to time, to work
as a unit in the knitting of sweat
ers, socks, muffiers, wrist bands
for the soldiers of our country
and its allies engaged in the pre-
sent war.
The club will, of course, hold
its regular meeting, and will en-
gage in some study of present
day problems; but the subjects
taken up will be such as will not
take the members from the pat
riotic work of knitting for the
soldiers.
This club, working as a unit,

of each week, when they will &C.
cupy the work room of the local
chapter of the Red Cross in knit
ting, sewing and doing other
work required by the general
headquarters of the American
Red Cross, and great results are
expected from such united effort
on the part of these club mem

folly of the Democratic admins

early stages of the Mexican i'm

ROBSON DOOMED IN II

ed in the interest of j. M. Robsi-
on, we'll known lawyer, of Bar
bourvillc. for the Republican
nomination for Congress in the
18th district. 1t is said that he
has been picked to take the
measure of Caleb Powers, if he
runs again. Louisville Times,
September 7th, 1917"
We do not know where the in
formation comes that the Times
has and we do not know who
gave it to the Times, but we do
know that all that it did say is
correct. We wish to say here
and now that Mr.. ROBSON is not
related to the editor of the Advo-
cate, neither is he connected in
any way with the Advocate, and
we do not claim to be the spokes-
man for Mr.. Robson on this i'm
portant matter, and what we
shall say here is upon our own
responsibility and without con-
sulting him.
Mr.. Robson has not said to us
that he is, or will be a candidate
for the Republican nomination
for Congress next year, but we
do say that it has been generally
talked to us by both the leaders
and rank and file that they would
like to see him enter this contest,
and nearly all of these persons
say that in the event that he is a
candidate, that he will be run
ner. We are quite certain that
Knox County and this end of the
District would be behind him If
he does enter the race. We have
no doubt but what he would take
Mr.. Powers measure,
It is further claimed by Mr..
Robsion's friends that if he were
elected to Congress that there
would be something doing. He
would be able to accomplish
something. Unfortunately for
Mr.. Powers, he has been able to
do very little good for the dis
trict during the seven years that
he has been in Congress.
We have supported Mr.. Powers
in all of his races, and have stood
by him for the last twenty years,
and we are still his friend, but
we think that Mr.. Powers should
now step aside and let some
other man 60 to Congress from
this district. 1t is the largesl
Republican district in the United
States, and ought to be rep
resented by a man who can d'
something for the district.
