WITH THE ITALIAN ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, July 8-The latest Ital-
! ian victory pushed the Austrians back
/ four miles further from Venice, as the
result Of one of the most stubborniy
fought actions in the war in the wet
triangle Of dykes and mud-filied canals
on the lower Piave.
The Austrians had strongly fortified
every house, mill and infrequent dry
spots In this region. Italian artillery
materially aided in the victory by pre-
venting the enemy bringing up food
from the mainland.
Thousands Of soldiers fought In
water up to their waists, often losing
their weapons and battling like print
tive men, with their hands and teeth.
In many instances, Italian soldiers
with vauiting poles, Ieaped over the
wire entanglements In front of ma
chine guns and knitted the Austrian
gunners.
So far more than 1900 machine
guns and six trench mortars have been
captured.

Western Union with locking out en-
ployes at various offices.

Consistent with it's past perform
ances the Western Union has locked
out employees this morning. About
eighty at Atlanta, forty at New Or
leans, thirty at Washington, twenty at
Oklahoma City and ten at Cincinnati,

bitter and feel that our union is to be
blamed in not carrying out the strike

NEW MEAT PROGRAM

The demand for beef for our army,
the armies Of the allies and their civil
populations for this summer are be-
yond our present surplus. On the
other hand, we have enough increased
supply of pork this summer to permit
economical expansion in it's use. 1t
will therefore be a direct service to
our armies and the allies if our people
will in some degree substitute fresh
pork, bacon, ham, and sausage for
beef products.
The food administration requests all
hotels and restaurants not to place on
their menus or serve boiled beef more
than two meals weekly, beefsteak
more than one meal weekly, and roast
beef more than one meal weekly. 1t
asks householders not under any cir
cumstances to buy more than 1 a
pounds of clear beef weekly, or IL
pounds, including the bone, per person
in the household
The public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping. and, therefore,
Of the markets available to the Allies,
and the increasing demand for our
growing army, with the fluctuating
supply of local beef in France, all
make it impossible to determine poll
eies for long period in advance.
The food administration has recently
asked for economy in all meat con
sumption; now it emphasizes further
reduction of beef by the substitution
of pork. It is anticipated that this
program will hold good until Septem-
Der Is; and the food administration
most earnestly requests cooperation of
the public.

this war. And into this order of life
the universal practice of thrift must
come, for thrift is the very essence Of
democracy itself.
Thrift is upbuilding and construct
essentials without which no true
republicanism can permanently en-
dure. These are the lessons we must
learn from the great text book of
passing history. Unless we rise to
these newer ideals-unless we catch
the sweep of this new spirit of brother
hood-unless we perceive the necessi-
ty of intelligent thrift in this new and
brighter day ahead-we are far out of
step with the times.
"There can never come a time in our
national life when thrift is not a ne
cessity. 1t is as vital to our success
in winning this war as powder and
steel. And in that critical period of
readiustment which will come with
the beginning of peace, thrift will be
just as necessary. Millions of. men
will come back from the fighting front
prepared again to take up the occu-
pations of peace. The acute scarcity
of labor will be at an end. The press
ing demand for war supplies will be
ever. The infation that now exists
viii subside rapidly. In this readiust-
ment there will be need for thrift and
economy to preserve the equilibrium.
Living conditions will be revolutioniz-
ed over night, es it We're. Gone will
be the DAYS of abnormal wages. Mer-
chants will find the values of their
stocks suddenly deprecated. It will
be period of acute readiustment, and
only through practices of thrift will
the economic. effect of the shock be
tempered
"And as the years go on the pro-
digious losses of this era of devasta-
ton must be made up by thrift. HUI
manitv must save then what it is de-
stroving today.
''The time when thrift shall not be
needed-needed as vitality as food it
self-will never come.
"And so, out of the shirt of orr
patriotism in our war savings, let US
coin a new term-the patriotism Of
peann-savin0s.
Through thrift tlrr world VIII rise
from her ruins; the nations viii
femeree from the chaes of devastation
and debt. and SET forth AGAIN on the
great highways Of destiny"

Thrift is Slogan of Address
Delivered Today in Philadelphia
BY S W. sraus, President Of American Society q
Thrift Before National Education Association

Pittsburg, Pa, June 29.-"The time
rapidly is coming in America when
every employer must see not only that
his employees practice thrift but their
conditions of employment are such
that they can practice it." declared S.
w. Straus, president of the American
Society for Thrift, in an address be-
fore the National Educational associa-
ton here today.
"The dollar sign is passing as the
insignia of ruthless power" he said,
"and the day is dawning when it shall
stand also as the symbol Of protec
ton for the weak and help to the wor-
thy.
"We have come into a new order of
things. The day of right by might
is ending. This war marks the dark
ness that precedes the dawn of uni
versal democracy-a democracy that
shall be lifted to the lofty level
of brotherhood
"Irto the craftsmanship. the poll
tics, the business of the day that is
breaking just ahead will come a new
spirit-a spirit of honesty, generosity
and gentleress.
1.-THE sta tes'naoship of the world
will be successful only insofar as it is
honorable ard irst. The politician
who achieves success will attain his
ends by worthy deeds alone. The
business man must stand on the broad
ground Of real brotherhood The at
titude between employer and employee
will be that of man to man, not mas
ter to slave.
EVERY man must practice thrift and
every man must have the chance to
practice it.
