The work of organizing the patrol com

steadily forward, meeting with an APP
preciative response as it goes There is
no lack of.public spirit among the voters
OF the state, but there has hitherto been
a lack of opportunity or means for them
to get together for the realization of
their dreams of Il public policy which
should express even their most funda-
mental desires
This they are beginning 10 see, judg-
ing by the steady inflow of signatures

Only a few of the issues which might
arouse popular interest have been Sc

year. Edward F. Trefz. formerly of the
United States chamber of commerce and
now III charge of the patrol committees

these issues. with which the public has

abroad means rebuilding the regions de-

state and every community is preparing
TO do its part in this reconstruction. 1t

Austria's final collapse" said Senator
Mareoni, was caused by the splendid
offensive of our army 1t has brought
definite victory within our reach. We
may still look for some little trouble in
bringing Germany to her senses. but with
Austria definitely out of the war and
with ltaly's veteran legions free to throw
themselves against Germany either on
the French front or by woundng her side
through Bavaria we ought not to be long
in convincing the Teutons of the futIity
OF further resistance.
Italy may well be proud of her sol
diers and sailors. There is perhaps no
other instance in history of an army
which suffered such reverse as Capo-
retto, retreating before the devastating
rush Of the enemy and vet succeeding in
turning like stag at bay and holding
up that enemy behind Il scant protection

arrive, and then within year to throw
themselves forward and force the enemy
to surrender. 1t is indeed a noble
achievement, which reflects moro glory on
the Italian arms than if the retreat from
the IsonzO never had occurred
My countrymen well may be proud
also of our navy. There is no other ma
tion in this war which can point to such
men as Rizzo. Pelligrni Rosetti and

audacity merely to conceive such exploits
