veracity.

The man who never told lie
Has reason to be proud.
To feel that he by naturs is
With special grace endowed;
For always telling truth is not
So simple as some think,
And sometimes folks prevarcate
Who from lie would shrink.
* {.
The man who never told a lie
Must be quite taciturn,
And how his tongue may be controlled
Quite carly he must learn.
He never says: How well you look"
Unless it's really so,
Or I'm so glad to see you" when
He's wondering when you'll go.
The man who never told lie
IL shy OF compliments.
He isn't one OF those who praise
Your self-estecm augmcnts.
But. as n rule, the man who towers
Above his fellow men,
And says: IL never told a liem
Is telling one right then. =

Austria's Desperate Game

WITH rictng taking place in almost every
w leading city, the cry OF hunger going
up from millions OF Threats, the Bohemians
in revolt and the Sovaks organizing against
domination by Germany, it is no wonder
that Austria has found it advisable to strike
once more at Italy. 1t is no wonder that
this hazardous offensive has been undertaken
IT is i necessary thing to do. The Austrian
MinG must be prCoccuped for 4 time ut least
Inc Austrian government must be given
cha.ce to catch its breath and strengthen
itself 10 meet the perls which surround it,
Tho early reports indicate that the allied
forces on the Piave have met the first shock
OF the new drive with success Some little
ground has been yielded. but nothing like
the terrain that the Germans captured in the
initial stages Of their late offensivcs This
may indicate that the force Of the Austrian
blow is soon to be spent. and the enemy will
find itself face to face with solid wall just
as the Germans have hurled themselves
against one in France.
Let us assume that this forward move is
definitely checked within a few days; that
the Austrian armies punished in much
the same fashion that the German forces have
been punished in the West; that defeat is
visited upon the invader by the Italians, IS
it not reasonable to suppose that this would
mark the beginning of the end OF Austria
as an active bellgerent? And If Austria is
put out of the equation, Germany cannot
long stand tho strain alone.
Undoubtedly this offensive against Italy
was begun because OF the necessity Of
dlverting the attention OF the Austro-
Hungarians from their domestic distress and
because Of the unremitting pressure from
Germany. If the offensive fails, the reaction
AT homo will probably shake the dual empire
from center to circumference II will revive
the popular demand for an immediate peace
a demand that is resounding through the
nation even now, and it may arouse even
deeper antagonism to Germany, if it is
realized that it was largely German influence
that forced the Austrian government to make
the fresh sacrifices.
When these phases OF the new offensive
are considered, it is easy TO understand the
vast possibilities of the situation Too much
hope should not be builded upon the outcome
OF the drive, OF course. There is always
the chance that an assaultng army may make
enough Roadway to save its face, and may
even he in position to herald victory.
The Austro- German forces did this when last
fall they threw the Italians back from the
1sonzo front, but if the drive now under way
breaks down, we may be safe in anticipating
a mighty upheaval in Austria
