It's Jubilee Week
for "The Sun" Fund
WITH more than 5100,000
raised and muny shipments
of smokes sent to the soldiers in
less than four months, is it any
wonder that THE SUN Tobacco

Week? And with that big Hip
podrome show netting a great
profit and A. Paul Kfith and E. F.
Albee quietly sending a check for
$5,000, could any Jubilee Week
start more auspiciously?
And there are other friends
who are planning projects for tho
fund. All such loyal supporters
give additional cause for thanks
Riving. Also they should inspire
to emulation. The more nearly
universal a movement the more
truly successful it is. One of the
finest things about this enterprise
is that it affords everybody an
opportunity to render service.

lo.vrxjN, Oct, 29. The object of the
operation In progress on the Italian
front is to recover the Austrian terri -
tory won by Italy and to Induce the
Italians, by a turning movement which
fias struck the headwaters ot the Natl
sone Valley to let go the hold on their
positions on the left bank of the mid-
die and lower Isonzo.
The stampede of the Impressionable
Italians by a rough and tumble attack
to which they arc unaccustomed also
Is designed to Impress opinion In Italy
and cause distensions In the Interior.
It must be remembered that the pacifist
parties never have ceased their an
tagonism to the national cause. Our
business Is to help Italy in every way
to react against exaggerated pessimism
and want of nerve.
The main danger came first from the
German army, which, marching probably
through the Ploecken Pass, overthrew the
Fourth Army Corps and other elements
of ths Second Italian -Vrmy and cap-
fitre In neeesftton T a n Punorettn nfld
the adjacent hill positions, then obtained
a grip on the Natlsone Valley and by a
coup de main against Monte Matsjur,
tne most commanding heigni on tni sec
tion of the frontier, succeeded In domi
nating this region.
I'nt OIT llnre Before.
The German army relied upon the
pre.vtlgo It still retains In Italy and the
Impetuous rush overcame both the de
fences and the spirit of the Italian de
fenders In lhl qu.ii ter What happened
often happens when a tangled maze of
hills Is penetrated by nn Invasion of this
kind. Many bodies of troops were cut
off and time did not allow the with
drawal of the heavy guns carried to a
giddy height and placed In position on
the mountain crests.
The e-ame thing happened In May,
1916, with the same results, but the Ital
ians then teoovered their spirit and re.
trleved their reverses, nnd so wo hope
they will do again. To the hold, Impetu
ous assault of the enemy we must give
heed, but Gen. Count Cadorna. the Ital
ian commander In chief, will not allow
himself to be intimidated. From the
latest reports, particularly of the cap
ture of Clvidnle and Goritz, we can have

London, Oct. 20. Over a nlxty-flvs
mile front, from Ploecken Pass, In the
north, to tho Adriatic in the south, the
Italians have been thrown back by the
tremendous Austro-German dr've, their
losses continuing to pllo up and their
retreat growing more disastrous every
hour. According to Berlin, this retreat
at many places has been turned Into a
rout.
The whole Italian position Is menaced
and the situation ot Gen. Cadorna's
forces Is critical. From tho Isonzo Gen.
Cadorna Is falling back toward the Tag-
a'"e'. yielding In the course ot a few
days operations ground captured only
! af,,'r months of toll and at a tremendous
cost in lives. His front still seems far
from secure and there Is no attempt to
disguise the fact that tho extent of ths
disaster Is growing.

und from there to the mountains In ths
north and the Adriatic in the south arc
exerting un unremitting pressure upon
the Italians, The German War Office
announcement that the whole Isonzo
front has collapsed seems borno out, and
there seem.s reason lo fear that an even
greater blow is Imminent.
Three tVrdgei Driven.
Three great wedges have been driven
Into the lines, and the foe, according to
an unofficial despatch. Is bringing up
still more troops, and has closed ths

In such movements.

many German divisions and an almost
unprecedented number of German guns,
they are fighting desperately to stem
an Invasion which has had no counter
part since Field Marshal von Mack
ensen, lender of the present drive,
crushed Kumanla.
To-day's official statement from Ilnmo
gives every Indication that the dis
mayed force of Gen. Cadorna, In splto
of the fact that they are confronted bv
an enemy quadruple their number, have
rallied gallantly and are lighting, partly
on their own roll, to check the Teuton
flood. Frantic effort to give arsistance
are being made by all tho allied nations.

Home averts that tho advance Into

admits that a stand Is being made before

Italian forces has not been halted.
