ALBANIAN VICTORIES

News has reached us of what is one of the greatest territorial conquests that the al lies have yet made. On a ffty-me front the Italians and French have advanced a dis tance of fifteen miles and have done 1t in the face of a stubborn resistance by the AuStri- ans The front over which the offensive has been carried reaches from the east boundary of Albania west to the Adriatic sea- The offensive has carried them north fifteen miles When they started Greece was on their right and now they have just about reached the southern boundary of Serbia. Coming so shortly after the disastrous defeat of the Aus trians in northern Italy, the significance ot the victorious advance is great.
 Many critics have declared that the turn ing point of the war was when the Austrian offensive was hurled back by the allies. Italy as united and democratic nation rallied be- hind her standards and fought as never be-. fore. The world stood astonished at that display of spirit on the part of a nation which only last fall had to call on the allies to keep them from having defeat turned into rout That spirit will not rest; after driving the Austrians to safe distance they have hit them in another place where they least ex- pected an attack. The success may be re- garded as the first decisive defeat of the central powers. In northern Italy they have been beaten back to their starting point. In Albania the war has been carried to them and with great success
 Many of the allies experienced a great sinking of the heart when their armies were borne back by the Hun hordes. Italy was ness comes the great triumph They have fntt t1 +l,nir Ina ol the Americans with their enormous re- sources has done much to encourage them.
 The feelings of the central powers can well be imagined. They lack the confidence which comes from the definite knowledge of justice in their cause. Their supplies are ever growing shorter, while their enemies are ever growing stronger It is an uphill fight and time is their greatest enemy. For them 1t is now or never, and before they can exc cute we'll planned move the allies start one Then comes the crushing defeat in Albania which they had won in the first place only by putting the best from Austria and Germany into the field. Their coming efforts may be great but it is the death struggle
 America may well take lesson from the Italians. The spirit that Italy has shown has not come to us yet. When our women step forward and say "Please take our jew ery," when all able-bodied men rush forward and say "Pease use our best efforts," and the man of money says "Please accept as a gift all that l own and put me at some use full labor" then will we have true apprecia- tion of the attitude of the Italian citizen, and our boys will fight even harder than they are doing nwo, for it will be with the feeling that nothing more can be done by those at home.

GOOD NEWS FROM MIR. HOOVER

Dispatches from Washington give us much encouragement as to the food situation Mir. Hoover declares that there is no danger now of sugar famine. He also states that the food situation is the best that it has been since we took upon ourselves the proposition of feeding the allied world This is very encouraging, for it means that all the saving and conservation that we have practiced dur ing the last few months have not been in vain We have won the first battle with the enemy. Germany expected to starve Eng land and France into submission, but the American people wroking as whole have been too much for her. We may be justly proud of our victory, but we mustn't consider for minute that the war of food is won yet. This may prove to be only a skirmisf, and we must make our preparations now for bigger battles yet to come.
 We read of the mammoth crops that arc expected this season. This is fine, but it must not influence us to let up on the conservation of the foodstuffs in the least. There may be many years of this war, and it is sure that each year there will be less and less man power to raise the crops that the world de pends upon for food. Any surplus that we can store away now for the future is that much more insurance on the ultimate victory of the allies. Suppose we should have a shortage of crops next year. If we have eaten up all the surplus that we have from this years crops what will we do then? We surely would not be victorious.
 We have won this victory, but we must not think that we can sit back and rest on our laurels. We must keep right on fighting in the way that those who know think best, and then we will have a most glorious victory to our credit on the pages of history. How we would hate to have it written that we lost this world conflict because we wcre ngt willing to deny ourselves little in way that will do us no harm. It would be differ ent if we were asked to deprive ourselves of necessities, and there were no substitutes, but that is not the case. So we must heed Mr. Hoover's instructions that the public is expected to observe the conservation measures closely, in spite of the prospects of nine hundred million bushel wheat crop. We must have that reserve for next year. If we all should let up even little on the conservation measures that we have so willingly taken upon ourselves, that necessary surplus will take unto itself wings. Then we will be leaving our Hanks open to an attack by the enemy, and such an attack would be fatal

HOUSE PASSES
REVENUE BILL
So, 0OO,000,000 Measure Now
Goes to Senate for Final
Action.
IS LARGEST in HISTORY
Designed to Raise by Taxation So, 1872.
100000 of $4,000, ooo,o or More
Needed for Current
Year.

Washington, Sept. 23.-By unani-
nous vote, the house on Friday passed
the $S.1S2,OO0.O00 revenue bill, the
greatest tax measure in history. The
roll call showed $50 members voting
Tor the bill and not one against it.
The unanimous approval given this
Dill, which constitutes one of the ma
J0r features of the governments pro-
gram for winning the war next year,
IS regarded as further evidence that
the American people are united as
never before in the determination to
spurn all compromise with the Hun
and go through to decisive victory
over Prussian militarism, no matter
how great the national sacrifice.
In bringing debate on the revenue
bill to an end, Representative Long
worth of Ohio declared that the $8,OOO.-
100000 revenue bill was the best an
swer yet to "Austrias whining peace
plea"
This will be good news for the
allies and cold comfort for the kaiser.
Mr.. Longworth said. 1T will show
the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs
that henceforth we will deal with the
head instead Of the tail of the German
dachshund."
The tax bill will be laid before the
senate formally Monday.
1t was the general consensus or
opinion that the final passage Of the
bill would not take place before No
vember 1. Some senators regarded the
dual system Of war profits and excess
profits taxation provided in the house
bill as unconstitutional and this will
be source of discussion.
The passage of the bill by the house
was preceded by two weeks of debate,
in which partisanship was conspicu-
onusly absent as a rule. Criticism OF
the bill was confined TO minor details,
while the measure as whole met
with almost universal commentator.
The measure as framed by the ways
and means committee was not amend
ed materially.
The tax scheme of the revenue bill
dips into the pocketboOk of every man,
woman and child in the country. It
was framed, according to It's authors.
upon the principle of levying taxes
upon those best able to bear them, with
the result that the bulk of the $8,OOO,-
100000 will come from large incomes
and war profits.
