The Austrian Offensive.

1t is too early yet to say that the Austro- Hun
garian offensive against Italy is definite failure The
new drive has developed sufficiently, however to
indicate one fact of supreme importance That
TACT IS that the present Austrian blow lacks the
power OF the drive that expelled the Italians from
the lsonzo, across the Tagliamento and the Lvenza
to the line of the Piave last autumn.
1t is quite within the range of possibility that
Field Marshal Boroevic will make some gains in
the concentrated movement for which preparations
nave been carried on since early spring. There is
small probability however, that his gains will reach
the proportions of the reverses which he inflicted
upon the Italians last fall. Indeed it would not be
at all astonishing if the offensive now undertaken
by Austria-Hungary were turned into defensive
by the allied Italian, French and British forces, to
which American units have now been ioined
The reason for the weakness of the Austrians
is not far to'seek In both divisions of the dual
monarchy political affairs have reached degree of
unrest that confronts the governments of Vienna
and Of Budapest, and the house of Hapsburg back
OF them both, with problems too serious to be SOL
we'd by the ordinary constitutional formulas The
Austro-Hungarian crisis has passed out of the
phase of political action. The employment of mill
tary force, made possible by the declaration of
martial law in several localities in both Austria
and Hungary, is now apparently the sole resort of
the Hapsburg monarchy.
The necessity of using force at home, says the
New York Evening Mail, at least of keeping
it where it be quickly made available has pre-
vented, in all likelihood, the concentration of as
great military power the Italian line as was
the case last year.
On the other hand, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the Italian defense is stronger than it was
at the moment when Boroevic launched his power
full blow, REINFORCED by German troops, last year
Italy has recovered with remarkable rapidity and
completeness from the demoralizing effects of the
reverses OF 1917, and also from the disintegrating
influence OF the political propaganda directed from
Berlin and Vienna, that prepared the way for that
movement. Italy is now more completely united
better organized and betted equipped than ever
Her own resources in and in military genius
have been REINFORCED by French, British and
American troops and commanders.

We Are Saving.

One thing this has brought home to Ameri-
cans is that we must save more money, and that
more of US must save of our earnings than was
done before the war; We must save, not only for
ourselves but for the perpetuation of civilization
and the honor of our country. In other days many
postponed the acquiring of the saving habit be-
cause they saw no rainy day close at hand.
Now, however, all is different, and every Ameri-
can knows that he must save of his money so that
there may be no rainy day" of defeat for our
cause. This has been proven in the liberty loan
campaigns, the thrift stamp drives and gifts for
war charities. We have invested several billion
dollars of our savings to win the war. But that
has not nterfered with our own personal rainy
day" saving efforts
Deposits in our savings banks have been on
the increase, so that today these combined de-
posits represent SIooooooo more than the entire
amount of actual money in the United States"
says Myron T. Herrick, who has spent years per-
suading people into thrifty pathways.

THE OPTIMIST.
No foolish optimist was he
Who was so blind he could not see
The evil and the squalid strife
That enters into human life,
But he'd the gift OF Hope and Cheer
And Eye for Good SO clean and clear
That even on the darkest day
He never failed to find the way
Up from the troubled gloom OF night
To the invigorating light
And having found the path TO good
He blazoned it as best he could
That other men might freely share
The blessings Of escape from care.

PUBLIC GLADLY
COMPLIES WITH
new FOOD LAWS
Whole-Hearted Compliance
Reported by Indiana Res
taurant Men.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16-Ready
and whole-hearted public compliance
with the Federal Food Administra-
tons rules covering wheatless, meat
less and porkless days is reported by
hotel keepers and restaurant men in
Indiana. -.. e..
1t has been demonstrated that the
food puryeyor who "gets in bad is not
the man who refuses to serve mat on
meatless days, or wheat on wheatless
days, but rather is the man who neg
lects to Hooverize his business in &C
cord with the war needs of the coun-
try.
William NJ Fowler, we'll known
hotel man of Indianapolis and Terre
Haute. says: Instead of the observ-
ance of Hoover's rules being the ex-
ception among hotel patrons, the
breach of the rules is the rare thing.
The loyal citizen who does his part
will not hesitate to speak out in con-
demnation of any Stacker in sight.
The Stacker finds it advisable to lie
low, not because the hotel might re-
por' him. but because of the sure dis
pleasure, sternly voiced, of loyal cit
liens close at hand who are keeping
close tab on their own table conduct
and on the actions of others.
THE big hotels of the country have
been proud to take the lead in the
strict observance of meatless and
wheatless days. Patrons tell US that
in the smaller cities and towns the
eating houses and hotels are not so
strict as are the large hotels in the
larger cities. The hotel patrons, pa
triotic travelling men, and the loyal
public generally, are rapidly convert
ing short-sighted restaurant men and
hotel men to the Hoover idea of the
patriotic service plan which is to be a
large factor in winning the war"

of both meat and wheat results from
