WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS.

Theodore Roosevelt says: LET

In a recent editorial he wrote:
"Of course the primary factor Ia
deciding this var is and will be the
Army. But there can be no great
army in the var to-day unless a
great Nation stands back Of 1t. The
most important Of all our needs Is
immensely to strengthen the fight
ing line at the front. But it can
not be permanently strengthened
unless the whole Nation is organ
ICED back Of the front. We need
Increased production by all. We
need thrift and avoidance Of extrav-
agance and of waste of money upon
~nonessentials by all. We need the
investment Of money In Govern
ment securities by all Of us.

system is wrong because it dupli-

Gentle reader, in these piping

you feel justified in voting to invite

Free-Trade does; though it does not
blow up the building, it blows out
the fires of commerce and makes

Bolton obtained a bottle of chloro-

on the backs Of chairs, he put his wife
to sleep for the purpose of operating
for the removal of an imagined cam

her hip and the thIrd in her right leg.
Bolton, after cutting his wife, had
taken his eight-year-old daughter and

Rome, June 24.-The first phase Of
the Austrian offensive has ended in
failure, in defeat. The elimination OF
what was intended to be the crushing
of Italy between the jaws of the Aus
trian pincers is rout of the invaders.
With their backs to the swollen
Piave, the Austrians for several days
past had been trying to ward off the
vicious counter attacks Of the Italians
and save the situation. Now they are
endeavoring, and still under great
pressure, to ford the stream and reach
safety on the eastern bank.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic sea the enemy is in retreat.
Already his losses are estimated at
10000 men and the chances of his
escape without additional heavy cas-
ualties and men made prisoner seem
remote.
Large numbers of the pontoon
bridges that the Austrians threw
across the Piave have been swept
away by the now torrential stream,
and on all the sectors of the thirty
three-mile front, where they gained
edges OF the Venetian plain, they are
being sorely harasscd by the fire Of
the Italian guns and rifles and by the
machine guns and bombs of the allied
aviators, who have done such notable
execution since the attempted drive
was started.
Undoubtedly the Austrian high COM
mand had built largely for success on
the belief that the Italian morale had
been shattered. The first onslaught
the enemy met a rejuvenated army
which fought gallantly, never ceding
an inch unless it was dearly paid for.
Aiding the Italians in the mountains
were British and French armies. Ter
ritory taken in the mountains was al
most as quickly regained and the en-
emy held in check.
Large numbers of the enemy have
been reported recently as coming up
behind the northern line in the noun
IoAh lO6lOhJ anu IL 10 uOJ ALupIODdDlS
that shortly the second phase of the
battle will begin. Complete conf
dence is felt in the Italian and other
allied commands, however, that the
enemy will meet foemen of superior
quality and that his efforts will go for
naught
On the battle fronts in France and
Flanders the Germans are holding
their men to the trenches, except for
small attacks here and there. There
is no indication that for the present 1t
Is their intention to launch another
big offensive. Both the British and
French have carried out successfully
several minor operations and repulsed
all the enemy's maneuvers. Near
Bligny, in the Marne region, the Ger
mans succeeded in gaining footing in
q trench, but an Italian contingent
Immediately elected them.
The serious food shortage in Aus
tria-Hungary has given rise to sensa-
tional rumors. There is little doubt
conditions in Austria are near crisis.
Little Of the true status of affairs can
be learned, but what little news filters
through neutral countries shows the
Austrian people on short rations, that
serious rioting has occurred and that
general strikes are feared.
