Hut it is now extremely probable
that Austria has decided that the time
has arrived when Jtalv can be terror

failure of the Italian ottensives, indi
cations of profound discouragement fol

this pessimism led to n fracas in the

were hurled at one minister's head.
In addition to these signs of a weak

a pueace taction is quietly working in

Italy from the war. There is no doubt
that tho joyous spirit of certainty
which marked the entry of Italy into

WINSTON CHURCHILL
WHO GOES TO WAR
London, Nov. 13. England 's "stay
at .homes" had before them toduy tho
example of a man, once a foremost fig
ure in the nation's war affairs, vol
untarily relinquishing an cusy govern
ment berth to join his regiment.
That mun is Winston Churchill, one
time first lord of the ndmirulty.
Holding that ho could not sit in the
new war council, accepting Its respon
sibility without having a cabinet post
commensurate, with this responsibility,
he resigned. As chancellor of the duchy
of Lancaster his cabinet position wub
more or less honorary. It brought no
responsibility for directing Britain's
wur fortunes.
Churchill, ns nn officer of the Ox
ford Yeuuiunry, will soon bo at the
about one-tenth of his total. If hnlf .f
the increased production is available
for export this year, the export total
will be 25 per cent more than Inst
year.
Increased acreago in sugar beets,
sweet potatoes, rice and wheat ranges
from 30 to 10 per cent; tobacco, corn
and oats acreage increased upwnrdg
of five per cent; hay, rye and potatoes
from three to one per cent; while flax,
barley nnd cotton decreased.
Onts made a sharp advance on ac
count of the war. Whilo practically all
of this product is generally consumed
at home, oight.pcr cent of the crop
was exported iu the first year1 of tbo
war, and farmers got a ceut increase
per bushel.
The cotton farmer will share in the
general farm prosperity -because this
year the crop is less ihon 1 1,000,00(1
bales,, compared with over 10.000,000
bales lust year. Along with this de
creased production is an increased do
mestic demand which is boosting tho
