Representative George B. Francis Of
New York has called the attention of
congress TO the fact that the United
States is the only important nation
which has failed to make preparations
for the revolutionary conditions that
will prevail az the close OF the war.
Mr.. Francis comments on the fact that
England, France and Germany are
busily planning reconstruction actiyi-
ties which will cover every phase of
social, political and economic life, and
suggests that this country, protiting
by these examples, should have either
a secretary OF reconstruction or a
commission Of congress to study the
problems OF The future and recommend
legislation TO meet them The sound
ness of this advice is indisputable. The
United States government IS bending
every energy to the task of winning the
war The men in charge OF war work
cannot be expected to interest them
selves in anything that departs from the
question of defeating Germany Oc-
caslonally of course, men OF large
vision keep the future as well as the
present in mind. That was shown a
few days ago at a conference between
shipping board and war department
officials when plans were discussed
Tor the construction of army transports
which, after the war, may be con
yerted Immediately into swift passen-
ger-carrylng transatlantic liners.
This incident, however is an exception
to the rule The United States IS not
keeping pace with the reconstruction
plans Of other nations.-Leslies.

that a great battle is already on
The Tridentine Alps which stretch
across northern Italy form a natural
fortliiCation between the two opposing
lines, and il is in the lower section OF
these ranges that the military opera
tions are now unfolding. While it is a
front Of several hundred miles from
the Adriatlc up to the Swiss frontier
yet part OF this stretch is impenetrable
mountain peaks covered with eternal
snow and there are practically only
five lines OF approach where breaks IN
the mountain heights permit military
operations to be carried on
These Iive lines of approach or com
munlcation through the Trdentine Alps
are the valley regions known as the
Valtcllina, meaning see saw from its
winding character, which leads down TO
Lake Como and toward Milan; second
the Val Comonica, leading southwark
toward Brescia third, the Val Giudl-
CARA which comes down Just east OF
the Adamcllo region with its line OF
peaks and skirts along the west shore
OF Lake Garda fourth, Val Lagarina,
which follows the course OF the Adige
river on the east of Lake Garda, and
comes down from Trent toward Nero-

follows the course OF the Brenta river
and winds around the ASiago region
down past BaSsano.
These five main highways through
the mountains become more important
from a military standpoint, as they
come eastward toward the Asiago and
Brenta region All the chief pressure
has been in the easterly region in the
past, and the indications at present are
that il will be in this region.
