LINCOLN'S ADVICE
TO WAS CRITICS.
, Lincoln was no enemy
worthwhile criticism. But
when a man told him some
thing was " wrong, he wanted
that same man to toll him also
how to make it right. He al
ways objected to criticism that
was merely objection tho crit
clsm of the professional grouch
(of which we have plenty in the
present war just as he had in
the Civil war); and here is
what lie said lo such critics:
'Gentlemen, suppose all the
property you were worth was
in gold, and you had put ti in
the hands of Blondin, , the
tight-rope walker, to earry
across the Niagara river, on a
rope. Would you shako the
cable and keep shouting out
to him: 'Glondin, stand up a
little straighter Blondiu, stoop
a little more to the north lean
a littlt more to the south!' No;
you would hold your breath as
well . as your tongue,, and keep
your bauds off until he was
safe over. :'. '
"The government is carrying
an immense' weight in this war.
Untold treasures are in ' its
hands. It is doing the very
best it can. Don't badger it.",,
Keep silence and we '11 get you
flv across.", ' .

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY PASSES OUT OF EXISTENCE.
ThP swiftlv moviner nolitical events at home and the
overwhelming victories of the, allies have reduced the
Rtafua of the Ausfrian armies in Italy and the Balkans to
that of a disorganized mob.
With armistice negotiations reported 10 ue gumg u
kaViSnri tVio Italian lines, the Austrian? power of resist-
ance appears to be utterly
completely demoralized. . , .
After splitting the Austrian armies east of the Piave,
the allies have torn the enemy defenses in the mountain
region wide onen. -
The situation in the Balkans is scarcely less dangerous
with the Austrians scrambling across the Hungarian f ron
tier and the allies on their heels. - r -: : ! . I. ,

At least four independent states are reported to have

Austria and Hungary, and two independent states in Bohemia-one

An armistice may be effected with the field command
ers with the enemy rmies. Who will act for them in
signing an actual peace past, however is a question. Karl
apparently is without real power. His new fofeign min

the socialist, Adier. - , " , .
Meanwhile, the allies have again begun to make im
