TEUTONS DRIVEN
BACK By ITALIANS
FROM MONTICELLO TO ADRIATIC
SEA THEY SWEEP ENEMY BACK
-AUSTRiANS ARE PURSUED.
ALL ITALY IS THRILLED
Premier Believes That Battle viii
Break Forth in Tyrol and Trentino,
Where Austrians Have Been Ac-
cumuIatine Large Forces.

Rome.-On the Piave river front
from the Montello to the Adriatic, re-
crossing the river in disorder, says
the Italian official statement. The
enemy is being closely pursued by the
Italian troops.
"The Austrian offensive was more
than a failure; it was defeat for the
enemy, who at several points was
four times stronger than the Italians. =
This announcement was made by
Premier Orlando in the Senate amid
enthusiastic cheering. He added:
After the present victorious resist
ance, another battle may burst out
sooner or later. In fact, reliable re-
ports which have been received say
the Austrians are concentrating large
forces in the Tyrol and Trentino in
another desperate attempt to break
through the mountain front"
A proposal made by an Italian gen.
eral to declare Monte Grappa a ma
tional monument in recognition of the
heroism displayed there, and an
nounced by the premier, mas Deen re-
ceived throughout Italy with the
greatest enthusiasm.
With the British Army in France
The wonderful stand of the italians
against the onslaught of great masses
of Austrian troops has evoked the
highest praise along the British front
and has sent the barometer of optf-
mism mounting higher than ever.
OF even greater moral value has
been the news of the fine work done
by the Americans in fighting on the
French front These new troops have
been watched critically by the battle
worn allies and the men from over
seas have far exceeded expectations
in doing such effective work with
such short training.
Il saw some American troops VINO
had been fighting alongside the
French" said a British staff officer.
what magnificent fellows they are
and what magnificent work
they have been doing!"

Notwithstanding the intolerable
heat. men and women listened
with bated breath for two hours
while the speakers told them of
the part we must play to win the
war.
Attorney S. M. Nickel, of Lex
ington, made the first speech and
for half an hour held the undi-
vided attention of the audience.
His speech was a splendid por-
trayal of conditions confronting
the United States and her. allies,
and forceful and eloquent call
to sacrifice and to duty.
Governor Stanley, in his inim-
liable way, aroused his hearers
to almost a frenzy of patriotic
feryor. His presentation of the
non-partisan aspect of the war
had wholesome effect upon all
present and did much toward
making US a united people.
After the speechmaking SUBJ
scriptions to the War Saving
Stamps were called for and about

Clothes For the Man.
Chicago Evening Post)

Standard suitings for the British civilian is the latest plan of his gov ernment that finds the exigencies of war pressing it into further and more intimate regulation of the peoples life.
 The director of wool textile pro- duction announces that as beginning one type of cloth, in varied patterns, will be made available at a fixed price. The promise of varied patterns must be a sourcc of comfort to the civilian who wants to preserve a. little of in dividual taste in the selection of his attire.
 The really surprising thing is the anticipated price per suit under the governments tailoring plan. It is be- licved the cost will not exceed $13 a suit to adults, $9 to youths and $6 to boys We might be willing to well come such an invasion of our ward- robes in the United States if We could be, assured woolen textiles, in varied patterns at such prices as these. But, with the decrease in our flocks, we fear the cost of sutings is going to be considerably higher, and experiments in the regulation of prices by the gov ernment thus far do not encourage the hope that any great mitigation would result from their extension to the clothing industry.

And, in so doing he did not violate
 any party pledge. AS to the charge
 that he thereby "stole the thunder
 of the Republican party an exan,-
 ination of the Republican platform for
 1916, the same one upon which
 Charles Evans Hughes ran to defeat
 will show that the old-line Republi-
 cans in their Chicago convention did
 not foster suffrage any more than did
 the Democrats at St Louis The suf~ frage plank in the Republican plat form reads:-"The Republican party,
 reaffirming it's faith in government of
 the people, by the people, for the peo-
 pie, as a measure of justice to one half the adult people of the country, favors the extension of the suffrage to women, but recognizes the right of each State to settle this question for itself"
 Thus it is seen that both of the great parties in their platforms of 1916 favored "the extension of the ! suffrage" or "the extension of the franchise" to women. Both, too, rec  omm ended, or favored, the extension of this privilege by adoption of the l policy in each of the separate and in dividual states There was no men, ! tion of the federal amendment in 1 either of the platforms Anyway, it is rather premature to start a rumpus l over nothing. The federal suffrage | am endm ent has not vet passed the
 Senate. When it has it's opponents { might take up the cudgel at the doors l of the various state legislatures.

..Thc Doorway of the Old Home.


 The doorway of the old home
 Is stained with age and small; . And in the early twilight, When purple shadows fall NAcross the little doorstep, N My half-shut eyes can see A row of clear-cut visions
 That smile and smile at me. The doorway of the old home
 Has often opened wide For schoolgirl and for student,
 For mother and for bride; And soldier feet have traveled
 While eyes were dim with pain, Across the narrow threshold,
 That ne'er came back again. The doorway of the old home
 Has heard loves stories told; Has seen the splendid autumn
 Of people growing old, And baby hands have fumbled
 At lock and heavy key; And feeble arms stretched from it To children out at sea. The doorway of the old home
 Is stained with age and small; And yet in glowing summer,
 In winter and in fall, It gives cheery welcome, And knowing eyes may see The row of clear-cut visions
 That stand and smile at me. MARGARET E. SANGSTER, JR
