ITALY IN THE WAR

When disaster overlook the Italian army that had
been doing such valiant work in forcing back the might
OF Austria there was some disposition to indulge in
sweeping denunciation of Italy as a whole, and to treat
Italy as a load on the shoulders Of the Allies instead Of
a help. Such a course was perhaps natural on the part
of the casual observer, but utterly mistaken.
In the early days OF the war the decision Of Italian
statesmen undoubtedly saved Paris and made possible
the driving back of the German hosts from the banks Of
the Marine. At the outset Italy was allied more or lea.
closely with the central powers. Had she chosen to
throw her lot with them, as she was urged to do. the
menace Of an invasion from the italian side would have
kept a large French army on the southern French bor-
der. During the period of doubt such an army was act
ually maintained along the Italian front, and it would
have been necessary to keep it there had the Italian
government merely chosen to remain silent. No overt
act was necessary. But Italy did not remain silent. Her
statesman assured the French government that no attack
on France would be made by italy, and, relying on that
g ,sura-re, the French authorities withdrew their armies
from the south. concentrated them against the Germans,
and drove the latter back.
The italian reverse was due to mo- detection on the
part Of the italian government or the Italian armies as
a whole. 1t was due to sporadic cases of treason within
the Italian ranks, and to the fact that by means of their
agents within and behind the Italian armies the Germans
and Austrians were able to mislead large numbers of the
Italian troops into the belief that the war was actually
over. Before that error could be corrected, the break
had been made, and the retreat to the Piave had become
necessary.
That was a misfortune. But Italy has done splendid
work in this war. and she is today. holding a large teu-
tonic force away from the French front where the pres
ence Of that force just now would be likely TO turn the
tide Of battle irrevocably in favor Of the central powers,

l7,000,0 900 PEOPLE
IN ENGLAND RATIONED
INFORMALLY FOR TEA

London. May 27.-Seventeen mil
lion people in England arc now RAJ
toned for tea, and steps are being
taken by the food controller to make
the rationing Of tea uniform through
out the country.
The r%ationipg scheme has been so
successful that it has caused the Lon
don queues to fade away as IL by
magic: The only ones that remain
are the amusement queues, and a
few lard and M or two cats meat
queues. VI,
Until a few weeks ago there were
tea queues every day in front Of a
big merchants store in Fleet street
and that store reduced its business
hours to the minimum. Now there
is mo queue and the store is open all
day. The explanation of the mana
ger is that the tea was not distributed
to the small stores whose customers
then came to the big stores and form
ed queues.
The margarine stores. whose queues
used to, reach around the block, are
now Queues-lesS and have big dis
plays in their windows. The meat
markets seem full Of food and every
one seems moderately satisfied.
Commenting on the Transformation
made by rationing in the appearance
OF the city, one paper suggests: 1T
would be good If those organs of pub
licity which made a big business Of
queue photos that were afterwards re-
produced in German papers and made
good German propaganda would now
publish photos of the pueueless cities
and the stocked shops"

In the conversation there occurred one passaE re

Taper asked: SIS there a more vital question today

Barber replied ernphatically: "You bet there is. It

THE RED CROSS DRIVE

There has ever been any real question as to the rails.
ing of the hundred million dallars for the Red eros.
fund, nor of the raising of its quota by practically ever,
community in the country. The raising of the first hun.
red million a year ago looked like a task of some mag
and the possibilities, the money was raised. We have had
a years experience since then, and the situation is bet.
ter understood. We have grown accustomed to large
figures in the aggregate, and to the fact that the raising
of these large sums, whether they be millions or billions
depends entirely on the manner in which individuals
ability.
The hundred million has been raised. The north.
vast has done its share Our own state and city have
played their part, and as the basis Of it all, individuals
have exhibited proper interest and have performed thei,
duty cheerfully and gladly. There have been occasional
defections, of course. but these have served merely to
emphasize the general spirit, and to throw into bold re-.
lief the almost universal attitude. More and more clear
~ does the fact come home to the individual, 'This is
my way" And more and ore earnestly are the individ.
uals of the country. trying to do their duty with refer.
ence to it. n
The work Of the Red Cross is as truly a part Of the
work of the nation as is the work of the fighting army in
the trenches. Organized in a different manner, but pro-
ceeding along likes of absolute cooperation, the Red
Cross is carrying its share of the burden, and this sun.
the performance Of any other duty. This fact is coming
to be better appreciated, and the situation is-accepted
by practically the entire people.

SHOOTING IRONS
DO THEY WEAR OUT?
The Frearm That Wears Ont From
Actual Use Is As Rare As n
Snow Storm in July. M

A question that comes to US very
frequently is: How long will my
shotgun last ;" or How nan shots
can I fire from my rife or revolver
before it wears out?"
The shotgun. rifle or revolver that
is actually worn out from shooting is
a very rare specimen. In fact, we
don't remember eve having see one
that outliyed its usefulness simply be-
cause Of the number of shots that
have been fired through it.
There are two factors, either or
both of which are to blame, when a
firearm begins to show signs of pre-
mature old age. and fguratively
speaking. shoots with a bad limp.
Some people say it is possible to
wear a barrel out by cleaning it too
much, and it is probably true under
certain conditions. If you clean con-
sistently from the muzzle with a rusty
and dirty cleaning rod and you are
not careful to keep our outfit free
from grit, undoubtedly damage will
sooner or later he done to the barrel.
It is impossible for anyone to say
just how long a firearm will last be-
cause it is impossible to tell before
hand what kind of care it is going to
get, and the care II receives makes all
the difference between inaccuracy be-
tween a few hundred shots and a
lifetime of faithful service.
A hunter qnce told US that in his
section of the country they did not use
a high-power rife for more than five
hundred shots because, he said, you
couldn't hit anything with one after
that number of shots. We would be
willing to bet that that hunter and his
friends did not know even the first
principle Of barrel cleaning. for a
high-power rife is accurate enough
for hunting purposes for several thou
sand shots if it is given proper care.
1t is interesting to compare the
length of life of the various types of
firearms. assuming, of course, tina,
they are cleaned carefully and con
s%istently.
A good shotgun will show practic-
ally no. falling of in pattern or pene-
tration for probably well over a hun
dred thousand shots. A ..22 calibre
rifle and a revolver are both good for
thirty op:forty thousand shots. A
high-power rifle is good for abou,
three thousand to five thousand shots
usually the higher the velocity the
shorter the life of the barrel.
Judging from the above facts, il
would appear that the higher the
