ITALY'S ROUTES TO AUSTRIAN
Italy hns massed heavy forces on its cis-Alpine frontier in readiness
for invnsion of Austria when hostilities open. Trieste will bo nn
immediate objective. Topographical difficulties in both tho Julian
nnd Carnic Alps bar a speedy Innd advance into the coveted "lost
provinces" taken by Austrin the middle of the Inst century, but the
Italian troops hnve been so well trained in mountain operations that
the Alpine obstacles may be readily surmounted if, ns is believed,
Austrin should prove unable to draw heavy defensive forces from
the Carpathians. Trans-Adrintic naval dashes furnish another
approach, but the sea has been sown with mines, nnd the Istrian
coast, down to Polo, the groat Austro-Hungarinn naval base, is well
fortified. Further, offensives against strong land positions are
always tedious, as is proved by the lengthy investment of Tsing-Tno,
and sometimes ineffectual, as is demonstrated in the present
Dardanelles campaign.

'pHERE are some FACTS of Prohibition and Local Option
experience in Pennsylvania that are instructive:
g IXTY-TWO years ago, in 1853, the Legislature of this
State was induced to permit an election to determine
whether the voters would favor Prohibition. It was defeated.
A FTER the Civil War the anti-liquor agitators claimed, that
if Pennsylvania did not favor a State-wide ban upon stim
ulating beverages, then certain localities might favor Prohibi
tion. Here originated the phrase "Local Option."
J-jENCE, in the early 70s, or when Geary was Governor,
the Legislature gave authority for elections to be held in

or disapprove licensing saloons in each locality.
'T'HE result was, that where the vote was against license the
law failed of enforcement; and this developed bitter and
hysterical controversies. This Local Option law was, in con
sequence, repealed by the State Assembly.

CANADIAN HEROES
OF YPRES BATTLE
Lose Great Numbers, But Save
Allies' Line When Germans
Break Through.'
LONDON, April 21. The Canadian
contingent bora the brunt of the fighting1
in the lattSt German drive across thft
Yser Canal, according to an announcement
by the. War Office today. The "overseas"
contingent, outnumbered and forced to
give way, covered themselves with glory
and admittedly saved tho day preventing
the onrushlng Germans penetrating- the
main Angto-Freiich-Helglan line. They
lost very heavily, the War Office admits,
hut their conduct is praised In the warm
est terms.
When the Germain charged the forward
positions along the lino from 8tecnstato
to Uitisermarck the Canadians were forc
ed to fall back In order to avoid com
plete annihilation. Outnumbered and sub
jected to bombardment by enormous Ger
man guns that threw explosive shells and
shells lilted with the most deadly erases,
the Canadians fell back on their main
supports, abandoning four of their ennnon.
He-forming under the fire, they developed
n surprisingly strong counter-attack, re
capturing the cannon and taking many
Oorman prisoners. Including one colonel.
The Canadians then withdrew step, by
step, fighting hard over every Inch of tho
ground. They took with them all of their
cannon nnd supplies, flnclly making a
stand at an ngreed-on point until their
supports reached the scene.
