the Austro-Hungarian forces which
had launched an attack on the Italian
mountain front. The Italian and allied
troops, according to an announcement
made by the war office, were able to
gain partial success and to rectify their
lines at several points along the front.
With the Italian Army-Austrian
troops which forced the Piave river
have been driven back. The fighting
along the river is most intense
Nowhere else along the front of at
tack has the struggle been so severe
as on the Pave line. One of the most
brilliant of the Italian actions was
the defense of the Monte Moschin sa-
lent protecting the important Brenta
position Here the Austrians suffered
heavy losses, and many of their ma
chine guns were captured.

Monte Grappa region expressed this

The severity of the fighting on
Monte Grappa may be understood from
the fact that the italian artillery fired
100000 shells in IL hours
The enemy's bombardment was frus'
trated by the formidable fire from the
Italian artillery, which destroyed lines
and shelters and made full hits on
massed troops as well as drenched
his battle emplacements with gas.
When the enemy infantry advanced
into the front line zones they found
that resistance had been prepared for

in the loss of a great part Of the adj
avntage he had gained, and he left
prisoners and machine guns In the
hands of the Italians.
This is what happened to the Aus

Bureau of the Charities Department.
In this letter the landlords are re-
minded that extortionate increases in
rent in wartime violate the proclama-
ton OF Gov. Holcomb. The landlords
are told that it is also a violation CT
the regulations of the Bureau of
Housing of the United States gov

raising is likely to be followed by a
raise of taxes on complaint to the tG x
commissioner. The letter concludes:
THE governor OF Connecticut has

grant profiteering and al cases where

"The tenant has been advised to
offer you the rent which is now be-

this rent and allow the tenant to re-
main in the premises unless you de-
sire to have this matter called to the
attention of the United States Bureau

Extra profits out of war are
hateful" wrote Mr.. Hoover. That
any man should take profits in
greater measure because the goods
he produces are needed for war or
because of the scarcity created by
war is abhorrent to all decent peo-
pie. There is a point where
the increase in production is not
commensurate and restraint Is need
ed lest price ascend to a height
where the people OF more limited
means can no lohger buy.
I can see no remedy except a grad
uated excess profits tax that will
restore that excess of profits made
from public necessity back to the
public"
