any cost" is the word that has been
passed to the Italian troops as the
Austrian offensive appears to de-
velop all along the line of III miles
with the. use OF gas and special liquid
bombs and every other means of at

The long comparative silence by
the Austrians was broken precisely at
sos o'clock yesterday morning by a
violent cannonade. the sounds of
which reached the cities of Verona,
Vicenza and Venice, all long dis

While the exact geographic objec-

that Austria is following Field Mar

which the first classic move consists
in obtaining possession of Val Stagna

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like wcll-built houses, must have tr91ton behind them writes Henry Scidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speareS and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like natiVo trees that grow so well nO- whore else. The little writers--hacks, who sentimentalize to the latest order, and display thcir plot novelties like bargains oc an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ. ence Is that their tradition goes back 10 books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good md the prob- ably endUring~-arc successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to contem- porary life. That is what Thnckeray did in "Vanity Tair," Howells In "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But back-t0uature books-bcth sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature boeks-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the American suhconsciCusness-
