Of important offensive.
Albania, bordering on Greece, the home Of the
Oldest civilization in Europe, is today the most

The country is maze of mountains with few
level plains. The rivers, for the most part run

Is believed the Austrians have completed another
from the seaport Of Durazzo inland some 80 miles
to Elbasan which Is about half way between
the coast and Lake Ochrida. This lake is an ex-
tensive body Of water about midway between Ell
basan and Monastir.
The Albanian coast of the Adriatic is rocky
and barren, with few good harbors. One Of these
is Durazzo, which has been an Austrian naval
base and it is believed a submarine base. -
It is believed that the immediate objective Of
the Italians is to capture Durazzo and the Aus
trlan vessels there, and establish a line through
Elbasan to Lake Ochrida and then to Monasttr,
where it would connect with the Allied line to
salonk, making a continuous line across the
peninsula The Italians are within some 80
miles Of Durazzo now.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEsT.

Under the economic pressure of war
conditions, the decrease in the number of
newspapers in America continues at an
accelerated rate.
Weaker publications, especially those for
which there does not seem to be a well
defined field, are disappearing, either
through suspension of publication or con-
Iolidation.
Recently The Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph was merged with The Public Ledger
md the Los Angeles Morning Tribune was
suspended because its owner did not think
It was "a necessity in wartime.
If that latter standard were generally
applied the journalistic field would smell
.he sweeter.
But during the last year there have been
'25 suspensions of newspapers in the
United States and Canada, and $50 more
have disappeared through consultations.
The man who undertakes to launch a
new publication these days is either hero
Or an incurable optimist, providing he is
pending his own money.

Before The Big Attack

James Norman Hall in The Atlantic Monthly
The French attack, which has been in prepara-
ton for the past month, is to begin at dawn to-
morrow. 1t has been hard, waiting; but it must
have been a great deal worse for the infantryrnen,
who are bileted in all Of the surrounding vii
lagos. They are moving up tonight to the first
lines, for they are the shock troops who are to
lead the attack. They are chiefly regiments Of
chassehrs-snall men in stature, but Clean hard,
well knit-splendid types. They talk Of the at
tack confidently. It is an inspiration to listen to
them.
Hundreds Of them have visited our airdrome
during the past week, mainly, I think for a
glimpse Of Whisky and Soda, our lions, who are
known to French soldiers from one end of the
line to the other. Whisky is almost full grown
and Soda about the size Of a wildcat. They have
the freedom OF the camp and run about every
where.
The guns are laundering at a terrific rate, the
conclusions shaking our barracks and rafting
the dishes on the table. In the messroom the
granophone Is playing, "pm Going Way Back
Home and Have a Wonderful Time" Music at
the front is sometimes doubtful blessing.

Of this fleet is now lost to Germany
through seizure or capture.
Germany has had other things to think
about than building merchant ships which
could not venture out Of port, and the re-
naming one-third Of the pre-war fleet has
doubtless been augmented little if at all
This tells but a small part Of the gloomy
future Of the German merchant marine.
The German vessel owners will face bank.
ruptcy after the war. They have tried to
keep up their offices and somes of their
trade connections, and have faced the
heavy expense Of keeping their ships in re-
pair. Against this heavy and constant out
go, there has been absolutely no revenue
for four years. They have no funds avail
able for building new vessels and in the
meantime the great American merchant
fleet is in process Of building. When the
program is complete the American mer-
chant fleet will have a gross tonnage five
times that Of the German fleet before the
war.
And while Germany has been shooting
and torpedoing her best customers, the
United States and Great Britain have been
fighting their battles for them.
In four years Germany's war lords have
undone the work of two generations Of
German merchant traders and industrial
leaders.

BURNING At BOTH ENDS.


Germany is burning her manhood can
lie at both ends.
While her young men are bleeding and
dying on the battlefields, she has allowed
her labor standards to be so lowered that
she strength of the coming generation is
being Slapped.
The report of the labor inspectorate for
Prussia for 1917 has just been made pub
he, after insistent demands from the So
sialists in the Reichstag. The figures
show that male employees over 16 years Of
age, decreased from 2,662,152 to 1,956,202,
while women employees increased from
687,734 to 1,24O,593. Employees from Il to
l6 years Of age increased from 100000 to
$4,000, while the employment Of children
under Il years doubled.
q Not only are the women and children re.
placing men, but the safeguards about
labor are being disregarded in shocking
manner. The 10-hour working day for
women is no longer observed, and the in
fractions Of the child labor laws reported
have increased ten and twelvefold. Those
not reported can only be guessed at.
The report is important both to those
who would seek to break down labor stan
dards in America, and to Iaboring men
who might be tempted to hamper war
preparations by strikes. Labor has more
at stake in this war than capital.

"THE GERMANS ARE DULLES.

are indicated by the fact that their central busi-

An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views of The Forum

The Pittsburgh Gazette Times, discussing the
question of government control Of wires, says:
THE protested solicitude for uninterrupted wire
communication is a subterfuge. And the state
ments Of Postmaster General BuTleson and Sec
rotary Daniels that government control is
necessary also to guard military secrets and
government communications will arouse much
scepticism. These highly political members OF
the Presidents cabinet see chance for party
machine building. So politics is not adjourned.

We acquired some information about bees at
the state fair this week.
Do you know that queen bee lays twice her
own weight, maybe three times her own
weight, in eggs every day?
Do you know that she doesn't feed herself, but
has food brought to her and placed in her
mouth?
Do you know that she quits laying until she
sees adequate supplies Of honey coming in to
feed the prospective population?
If there is a more highly specialized organism
than a queen bee, we haven't heard Of it. There
is no sentiment about her. She has just one
mission in lfe-to lay eggs, and nothing inter-
feres with that mission.
And the bees are the most inveterate rnisers
of all the insect animal world. They store up
far more honey than they can use, and if a rainy
spell comes along when honey doesn't come in
the way it should, and business looks poor with
expenses piling up in the hive every minute,
they start killing off drones. They also starve
themselves rather than touch the honey piled up
for rainy day, and with the rainy day right
there as an excuse .-
And then when business is good and the
clover is in bloom, and the shining, the. bees
work three eight-hour shifts piling UP the honey
Then comes the owner and removes the surplus
stock, and there's a whole summers work gone
for nothing
Bees have always been held up to the human
race as models Of industry. Personally, we think
they are the prize chumps Of the insect world.

Just as We were consiguing the formidable

basket the title caught eye: Training in
courtesy: suggestions for teaching good man
ners in elementary schools.
Three rousing cheers, Cousin Egbert says.
Is it possible that the lost art of courtesy
can be revived?
Is the morale Of American parents strong
enough so that they can be induced to take the
offensive against their children and throw off
their autocratic rule?
Can the toothpick be abolished? owe saw one
restaurant patron using his before a mirror this
week. His execution seemed to- be Deadly.
Is it too much to hope that some day we will
hear a child say Yes, sir" and mo. mother"
instead Of Yep" and Nav?
Is 1t possible we will again see child who
knows better than to interrupt conversation Of
his parents, or parents VINO will respect the
opinions of their children sufficiently to give
them hearing?

us older offenders but why not catch the next
generation when it is young.
