demned It. But nobody ignored II. It
contained matter Of interest to all, and
all began at once to interest themselves
/ in the matter.
Nothing is likelier than that one Of
the results was Secretary Bakers visit
to the front. The visit was well decided
upon. It was the best way for the head
Of the War Department to inform him
self about many things it was impor-
tant for him to know. The cable and
the mails were entirely inadequate to
supply him with what he needed.
While abroad, Mr.. Baker enjoyed
every advantage bearing upon his mis-
sion. Every avenue for investigation
was opened to him. He saw war things
in motion, and discussed them with those
directing the motion. he obtained at
first hand the foreign points Of view,
and especially as regarded foreign ex-
pectations Of American assistance.
This he will now communicate to the
committees of Congress directly in
charge Of war measures, and SO assist
thcm with their work.
Congress is still in the most willing
and generous mood about voting war sup
plies. The naval appropriation bill,
carrying an enormous sum, passed the
House last week without a roll call.
There was no objection from either side
Of the chamber. Both sides responded
to the needs as stated, unprecedentedly
large as they were. So that this report
of the Secretary Of War comes at time
when assured Of attention, and when
legislation growing out Of it should ac-
complish desired objects.

AUSTRIAN OFFENSIVE
Is MEETING FAILURE.

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQuAR-
TIERS, Tuesday. June 1s.--In trip
by the correspondent along the en-
tire front, completed this evening,
there was found ample evidence that
the Austrian-Hungary offensive had
failed.
Except for their crossings OF the
Piaye, the Austrians got nothing for
their attacks upon the Italians or the
Anglo-French forces aside from
front-line observation posts. which
already have been retaken or seem
In the way Of being reclaimed.
The trip brought out clearly the
fact that the Austrian ARTILLERY
marksmanship was extremely poor
during the attack. The enemys fire
was frequently slack and often virr
tually useless because OF the cutting
Of the Austrian telephone communi-
cation by the Italian gun fire. The
exactitude of the Italian artillery

trian aim but was responsible for
the heavy losses which are known

The Future DAYS

Wen tread once moro the clover, when

Every band that's playing marches shall
strike W an old fime dance
And through Nictorys sun kissed srches
we will lead the boys from France
Oh, wen find the days OF laughter and
wo'n dry the mqlhers tears,
Joy has always followed after troubles
long and dreary years.
We will hum our songs Of gladness and
we'll claim the old delights
OF a homeland freed from sadness when
the family reunites.
Maid and man shall 70 a straying down

Dusk shall find the children praying old
time prayers to God above;
When We reach the long roads turning
and the cannonS cease 10 roar.
By the home fires brightly burning we
shall gather as before.
There'il he days when every mother happy
lulabies shall hum,
Little sister, little brother, there are gl0
rious days to come.
From the great soul Of our nation God
shall lift this weight of woe
And with vic,ory's celebration love shall
set our hearts aglOw.
