ITALIAN BLOW IN
ALPS is EXPECTED

! WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-An ital-
ian offensive in the Alps appears i'm
! minent. according to General Emilio
Gugliemotti. military attachc OF the
headquarters of the Italian supreme
Command.
The Italians are reported to have
opened an intense artillery fire in the
mountainous zone near the swiss bor-
der along a front of approximately %
miles. The sector is the highest of the
entire battle line and has been practf-
cally free from fighting since the be-
ginning Of the war.
The Austro-Germans recently con-
centrated heavy infantry and artillery
forces in the Trentlno regions. The
Alps are protecting the west flank of
these forces. Military authorities
here point out that a successful Ital-
Ian thrust through the mountains
would endanger the Trentino positions
CT the enem, and disrupt the plans
Tor an Austrian mountain offensive.
The Italians attacks center against
the enemy positions in the zone OF
NaltelIina. on the Tonale and at the
head waters OF the Val Di Geneva.
Alpine storm troops have taken
Mount Montello and we're reported as
being advancing up Mount Albiolo and
in the regions OF the headwaters OF
the Val hi Geneva. The battle line
extends along the Austro-Italian from I
tier and stretches across several glac- /
iers.

resenting Ringing Bros. and others
 raised this rather pointed question:
 What are we going to do with the horses and elephants and other ami
 mals? They eat their heads off if they
 are retired. So the show must go on, and these men will strive to have
 the show go on and bear it's burdens and collect for the government it's rev. enues, so long as a camel bears hump or zebra wears a stripe. And a pa triotic effort will be made to collect for the government any tax you may impose"
 Whatever these gentlemen who are engaged in the amusement enterprises may think of each other, it is apparent that they have strong faith in them selves and are willing to do their bit for the government In more than one respect many of the men at the helm of the so-calIed legitimate indus tries would do well to emulate their pa- triotic example. Certain it is that if those who are engaged in providing amusement for the people choose tOI consider their business as both digni-t fled and serious. no one should dispute their claims. At that, Harry Lauder fairly expressed the situation when, in | justification of his melancholy task of he said: "If my son can die for his country, surely I can sing for it."

PERHAPS NO ROOM FOR
 ARGUMENT

The New York newspapers have waxed sarcastic because the Missis- sippi legislature ratified the prohibi- tion amendment to the national con- stitution after only fifteen minutes de liberation.
 They say that such an important act should receive weighty consideration,
 But has it not had that consideration and more? The members of the legis- lature have doubtless given the liquor question much study. Mississippi is dry, and the legislators have had the opportunity to see prohibition in ac- tion. Doubtless, as in most prohibi- tion states, the effects of the dry law were so apparent that there was no room for argument. A state that is wet can argue about the merits of pro- hibition, but one that Is dry has had the demonstration that convinces.

MORE ON ORIGIN OF HUNS

Commenting on German dislike of the word "Hun," newspapers have called attention to the fact that the kaiser himself branded his people with the term. A statement from the kaiser was given to prove it.
 The committee on public informa' tion in Washington recently Issued pamphlet in which the first Hun speech of the kaiser is quoted. The Huns seem to have long been the ideal warriors of the kaiser's imagination.
 In 1900 he made his first Hun speech and in it he said to his soldiers going to China to put down the Boxers:
 "As soon as you come to blows with the enemy he will be beaten. No mercy will be shown. No prisoners will be taken! AS the Huns, under King Attilla, made a name for them selves, which is still mighty in tradi- tions and legends today, may the name of Germans be so fixed in China by your deeds that no Chinese shall ever dare even to look at a German ask ance Open the way for Kui- ture once for all.''
