FEARFUL LOSS BY AUSTRIANS
In Weeks Fighting With Italians They
Lose $4,000 Men.

Washington. - Statements in Aus
trian newspapers that the Austrian as
sault ON the Italian line has succeeded
in its aim of frustrating an attack
planned by the allies clearly indicates
there is great disappointment among
the enemy leaders, and that they are
hard put to find an explanation of their
failure to gain.
1t now appears established that the
Austrians have suffered casualties
totaling 10000. The fighting on the
Piave plain and on the slopes of the
MOntello has been most sanguinary,
but we must remember the Austrians
have great numbers of men In reserve
and they will be able to continue their
offensive for some time. 1t is now
known that the commander-in-chi of
the Austrian front, General BorOevic,
has two divisions of German troops, a
Bulvarian division and a Turkish divi.
sion in his forces.

endorsed the radical views of the con-

the police were powerless to enforce
the law in the few cases Of actually
detected transactions.
Now it is declared by the court that
any person bringing liquor into the
District under the Presidents procla-
nation may be charged with an in
tent to violate the law and must prove
that the liquor is intended solely for
personal use. This is difficult Of proof.
Considering the flagrancy Of the vio-
lations of the law practiced for over
thirteen months this ruling is to be
welcomed, even though it may work
some hardship in few cases. AS a
matter Of practice there need be little
embarrassment for those who wish to
bring liquor into the District for per-
sonal use, though it cannot be inn
ported in the great quantities of the
past few months or in the same easy
manner. It will be impossible, if this
ruling stands, for runners" to 60

and packages and suit cases full Of
bottles, to be promptly placed in the
hands Of "bootleggers" for sale. The
District is certain to be more orderly
and much safer under this condition
than before.

true also Of those other captains OF
industry who left their private posts
and took service without pay under
the government when the wars require
ments were at their height. They, too,
have returned, or are returning, to
their private affairs the better equipped
for them because Of their experience,
though brief, in public station. Their
horizons have been broadened and
frightened, and their work henceforth
will be performed with the greater
pleasure because of this response to the
public need in the time Of extreme
peril.
1t WAS an inspiring experience for
both the government and big business.
They had been at outs, and in way
at war, for years. Each accused the
other. The government accused big
business Of oppressive selfishness. Big
business responded with the accusation
that the government was acting IN
ignorance, and interfering with pros
perity from which the public was
profiting no less than its promoters.
As usual in such controversies, each
side had some reason for its COM
plant. But the war came, the gov
eminent needed big business in its
business, and big business responded
promptly and helpfully. So that as
one of the results Of the war, the gov
eminent and big business have now q
better understanding Of and feeling
for each other; and in future they
should be friends, and never again
enemies.

Removal of Economic Barriers"

The debate begun in the Senate to-
day has to do specifically with revenue
made necessary by the war. Strictly
speaking, the tariff question as known
to our politics is not involved. And
yet, not unlikely, that question will
be introduced into the debate, which
is certain to be protracted, and may
take wide range. The Senate's rules
admit of very full and free discussion.
If this occurs, good purpose may
be served. The tariff question. in the
regular order Of things, is coming like
a race horse, and when it arrives will,
until settled, top all other questions.
Relating, as It will, to both our for
eign and domestic affairs, attention
must be given to it, to the subord;na-
ton, if not to the complete exclusion,
Of questions relating to other affairs.
For this reason, reference to it now
in formal debate in Congress should
not be unwelcome. A line may thus
be obtained on what will follow later
when the tariff question-expanded by
the war, and travelling far beyond all
previous limits-comes on in its own
right to be heard.
It may be, too, that while this reve
nue. debate is in progress something
may be said at Versailles by the
President on a matter of kindred
concern. What did the President mean
by declaring in his famous pronun-
ciamento "for the removal Of economic
barriers" between nations7 In some
quarters that has been interpreted as
recommending free trade; and, natu-
rally, that Interpretation has as much
interest for Europe as for America.
- It has been convincingly explained,
however, that the President never in
tended any such thing. He has al
ways been in favor Of low
tarif-been classed. as an anti
protectionist. But SO has his party;
and yet his party when in full con-
troll of the government has never writ;
ten q free trade law on the books. It
has put more than one law there of
hodge-podge charaeter-low tariff dash
ed with Observation-Disclosures to
business interests and hating to pros
nAritv hut Il has never mt into ar
ton its campaign promises and procla-
nations. Free trade, except among
the states, has never been in operation
in this country, and never will be.
If the President takes up the sub
ject at Versailles, nothing he will say
there, not excepting his deliverances
As to the freedom of the seas and the
league Of nations, will possess more in
terest for Congress, or for the Ameri-
can people.
