There is every indication that the Austrian “hunger offensive” has heen a forlorn hope for several days, The ‘effect* of the defeat on the internal conditions of Austria-Hungary, can ‘only be conjectured, but it may be that the Italians have dealt the enemy a harder blow than that merely in- volved in the military feat of push- ing him back across the Piave.

Coincident with the Italian victory on the Piave comes the: news of the Italian units. on the Marne-Rheims sector repulsing a second heavy. Ger: man attack on the heights of.

He devoted little time to politics, ‘but in no uncertain language, ‘he classed the leaders’ in the nonpartisan league ‘as un-Ameri- can anu decidedly undesirable. as of- fice-holdrers in the present crisis. Mr. Burnqguist discussed eloquent- ly the historical side of the war and the events that led up to the war. Mandan gave’ his a royal reception and promised a 300 majority for Steen on Wednesday. Few desired to ven- ture a prediction as-to how the coun- ty or state would go.. They confessed to being in, the dark and could give no predictions that were worthy of the name., 5 Governor Burnquist is accompanied by his chief of staff, Major Curtis.

He pre- dicted a similar drive upon the non- partisan league ranks, which brought forth some more cheers and applause. After his address Gov.
