Italy Tasking Ruia' Place.
For mora than two years tight down to the recent
collapse In O iltcla Russian strategy waa comprised
1 the attempt while holding off Germany to crush
Austria; and aba almost lucceeded both at lemburg in
ll and east of that town and Kovel last summer
say i Frank M. glmonda In toa Review of Reviews.
Austria Is iba weak link la the German chain con-
tinues Mr. almonds and now Italy la taking II úsalas
place. And there la a growing tendency In London.
Paris and Washington to recognise the Importance of
the Italian campaign. Thla may easily mean that
neat year Italy will receive more guns more muni-
tions and more coal from her elite than before and
that the Italian campaign next spring may be almost
as Important is th Anglo-French.
Itaiya position at tha present time must be a source
of no little anxiety to liar leaders. Her allies entered
the war either to aava thsmaelves under attack or
to save sn attacked nation whose fall would be fatal
to their interest but Holy came in with a clearly
matured purpose after having refused a portion of
Ihe Trentlno as th price of peace do far Italy has
not conquered what aha was offered to remain neutral.
Tho war Is approaching a decision. and the need of
new sctlvity la plstn. Italy's difficulties hare not
been appreciated by her allies and they have only
recently been willing to lend her the aid ahe has long
asked for.
Itusslan collapse haa brought a changed situation;
It has doubled th burden upon Italy and abolished
all chance if there ever waa any. that Italy could

profit through the exertion of her afiles without great
effort herself Italy has now become an equal mem-
ber In the alliance with an eiunl necessity for making
her utmost effort and she I certainly doing this In
her preient blow on the Isonxo the most successful
In ground gained she has yet struck. The campaign
la still going forward and the end seems distant but
It Is worth noting thai there Is every present prospect
that Italy' campaign this yesr will be the most con-
siderable of all tha western allies. It I still possible
too thnt It may hsve a decisive turn although the
reported arrival of German reinforccmenta Indlcatea
that (lerrnnny Is agsln backing her Austrian ally at
a danger point.
And It Is worth remarking that this new Italian
eriort hue produced a new reeling of friendship for
Italy In i'arla and Indon. The three western allies
are visibly drawing closer together as the war pro-
ceeds and thla may easily foreshadow a new triple
alliance after the war between the Mediterranean
power an alliance as natural aa the old Triple A Ut-
ance waa unnatural. Alone of the commanders who
liegan the wsr Cadorna survives and today he divides
the honor of achievement with retain the victor of
Verdun and Joffra the man of the Mame. The fame
of all three Is secure.

Food Will Win the War!
Home good Americans know the truth of this nnd
during the summer have done their part to increase
and conserve the food aupply sn that th world scarcity
may not lead on to the border line of famine.
Are you n good American or are you one of the
cúreles selfish people who leave the work and self
denial to otlien?
Are you an enemy of Germany or are you one of
those expecting special privileges If the kaiser' forces
win?
Hoclely women in the fond administration uniform
helped the firemen to can the corn grown behind the
flrehouse.
A patriotic police officer occupied his off-duty time
by growing and canning vegetables of which any gar-
dener or housewife might be proud.

The blema for the augar shortage has been placed

A Sound Position.
Nut without interest to the people of 1C1 Paso and
to the realdeuts of eastern New Mexico la the deci-
sion of Judie Heed Holloman at Santa Fe In refusing
to permit the sale of the New Mexico Central railroad.
This road through Its connection with tho El Pano
and Southwestern systepi at Torrsnce furnishes the
shortoit route botween 121 Paao and Santa Fa and
all tha rich country In northwestern New Moxlco.
Though but 11& miles In length. It runs through a
country which haa lately become one of the most
productive dlatrlcts In Ihe state and furnlihes the
only outlet for a number of thriving communtttsa.
Ths road for aoine years has been In the hand of
a receiver and thus directly under the control of the
court. Naturally anxious that the bondholders and
other creditors ahall be protected as far as possible.
Judge Holloman also lekei the view that some con-
alderntlon Is due the people living along the line.
These people sturdy American farmers all of tin in
havu aurvlvod the lean years boms the sufferings and
Prussian agents
Ignorant of the big
or treeiiom are
foolish ones to a
alma If thla fol
the satisfaction of
the dlstsuce they
while others are
can got out of a
hardships of the pioneer and are Juat emerging Into
proapcrlty. They have solved the problem of ralalng
Crops with little muliture and thla year poeelbly for
the first timer ihey are commencing to reap tbe re-
ward or their efforts. It tho road Is abandoned
i In-an people wilt be ruined; they will be cut off
from their markets and they will be forced to move
and the farms upon which they have labored for
yeara will revert to aheep pastures
This is what Judge Holloman la seeking to avoid.
He Is willing that tho road ahull be sold but he le
snxlous that tha purchasers shall give assurance that
the property will continue to be operated. Ho is
confident Ihut It can be made to pay expenses. The
people living In the Estancia valley and along the
line of tha Now Mexico Central road were inducod
to aettls there because of tha presence of the rsllroad
without which th country would have remained a
sparsely aeltled grailng district. The present high
cost of atcel and the unuaual demand caused by
the war makes it profitable to tear up railroads and
Ship thalr rail! and equipment to Europe. It is
understood that several operations of thla kind affect-
ing some fifteen hundrtd miles of railroad havo been
carried out by ths company which proposes to pur-
chase the New Mexico Central. But thla does not
suit Judgi Holloman. Ha takes the view that the
food cropa raised on Ihe farms along ths 11ns ra
more Important as s fsctor in winning the war thsn
would be tha second-hand rails and other equipment
If taken to the fighting tone to say nothing of the
rights of tho people who would be forced Iby the
wrecking ot the road to abandon their hard-won
hornee.
This politlón seems both sound and Just ond tl Is
tu be hoped that It will be austslned by tha higher
court. . The Niw Mexico Central haa einned In the
past. It has been made the football of politics and
ths plaything ot politicians and financial adventurers
nm the people of Hanta Fe and other New Mealco
towns have likewise beeu blameworthy. They have
been alow to realise tba importance of the road In
the deywtopment of the state and they have not
given It tba support necessary to keep it away from
the rocks of bankruptcy. Threatened with th loss
of tba line however they ara at last awake and
there U every "reason to believe that. If arrangement
can be made to weather tba present gala tbe prop
erty will be put oa a firm financial basis and will
soon become a paying as wall aa a useful property.
New Mexico needs mora railroads and tba state cer-
ta i ni cannot afford to permit any portion of Its
existing mileage to be torn up. Tba loss of th New
Mexico Central would be a catastrophe to the Batánela
valley a blow to Santa Fa and a serious loss to the
entire state. It should not be permitted If. there art
legal mean to pi rveat it.
