those coming in to perform service
were to keep guard at the royal pal-

is not elsewhere mentioned, hence its
location is not known. It was a point
evidently where opposition to Jehei-

been placed in some of the chambers
of the temple as memorials of his vic-

and the guard extended from the
northeast corner of the temple to the

triangular area. 12. He brought forth
the king's son-Jehoiada led out be-

was a bold step, but a righteous
one. The Position of Joash was by one
of the pillars of the porch, the place
where the Icings were crowned (v. 14).
Put the rown upon him-Jehoiada,
the priest, placed the crown upon
Joash's head. He was the one who of-

Rome, Oct. 24, -Gorizia, the Icey to

has fallen before the combined artil-
lery and infantry ettacke of the Ital-
iaus, according to news brought to
Rome to -day by staff officers who
have just returned from field head-
quarters.
These officers further report that
the results of the Italian offensive,
begun several days ago on the entire
front from the Alps to the sea; are
nitwit more important than has been

victorious. The Italians took enemy
,entrenchments on artonta. Sabetina
and the Podgora Hill, in the Gorizia
zone, and under fire or the Austrian
artillery captured by infantry attacks
positions on the Carso plateau whiph
the Italian artillery had bombarded.
The Austrians made 'a counter-attack
and the positions were taken and re-
taken, the Italians -at nightfall retain-
ing their advantage on the left wing,
east of Peteano, and in the centre in
the the direction of Parcottini. The
Italians claim the capture of 1,003 Pri-
soners in the day's fighting on the
Isonzo.
For e five months the Italian big
guns have been hammering the
strong forts on the steep hills around
Gorizia, which, situated in a pocket
formed by a bend in the Isonzo, its
natural protection on the west and
the mountainsstretching in a semi-
circle north, east and south, has been
regarded by the Austrians and- the
military experts of other countries as
an impregnable fortress.
CLEAR ROAD TO TRIESTE.
The Italian general staff has made
ne secret of its belief that tile fall of
Gorizia means a clear road to Trieste,
the great Austrian port at the head
of the Adriatic, which is the chief It-
alian objective in the eamPaign.
Gorizia is about 22 miles by rail
from the Adriatie port, From the
stronghold ruus three railroads. One
of these -railroads, following the
Isonzo to Sagrado, south of Gradisea,
and thence turning eastward and fol
lowing the Adriatic coast to the Adri-
atic port, is in the hands of the Ital-
ians as far as Monteleone, 12 miles
front Trieste. The other rune south-
eastward. from Gorizia across the
Carso plateau.
The seizure of •Gorizia makes ef-
fective the advances made by the
Italians on this plateau, which have
been very slow on account of the
nature of the ground. The Carso
(literally "rook") is a vast tableland
or chalky , formation, in which the
rains, instead of forming streems,
have dug out natural trenthee and
"bouches de loup," which have been
occupied by the Austrian infantry,
while the heights at the edge of the
plateau and in its centre have been
transformed into strongly fortified

impossible for the Reline
either to cross the plateau or to skirt
It on the road to Trieste while the
guns of Gorizia held ,up the flank cif
the invaders. Further up the Izonzo
there is another fortress Tohnino,
about nine miles north, and because
of the torrential course of the Isonzo,
dashing between cliffs several hma
dred feet 'high; military operations
between the two feetresses Were al'
most impossible. Hence the Italian
cdoesctiRion to reduce the fortress at any
MAIN AUSTRIAN DEFENCE.
To the west of Gorizia, on the
western bank of the Isonzo, is the
spur of Podgora, beneath which the
higa rcad and the railroad cross the
river, This was the main defence of
the Austrians against the Milan at,
tacks. If it fell the stronghold fell,
too, It, was, therefore, against WS
spur that the Italian big mina direct-
ed 11 their strength, Several times
Me spur Was almost in the hands of
the invaders but they were driven
ota
The Austrian offensive pian was to
drive the Italians from the edge of
the Carso plateau and seize once
more the bank of the lower Isonzo.
Terrine efforts tO this anti were made
by the Austrians during the last twe
months, and although the Italians
were unable to increaee Materially

able to hold the advantage grasped

Austro -Germans Have Failed to
Smash the .0zar's Armies.
Crisis is Past, and Better Things
Are Forecasted.
London, Oct. 25, -The following
statement from it high authority, rep-
resenting the views a the Russian
'staff regarding the Russian military
situation, has been received here from
Inc correspondent of the Times at
Russian headquarters:
"From May till October the Russian
army has been subjected to uninter-
tupted blows along a front of 700 lades.
'The' Austro -Germans have applied
every possible means, not excepting
such as are forbidden by international
treaties, in order to increase the prod -
Bare against Ur3. Masses of their troops
were flung against this front and sent
to destruction, regardless of losses.
Military history doesnot afford en -
other example of such preseure.
"During these months of conthiuous
and prolonged action, the high qual-
ities anti the mettle of our 'troops
under the difficulties and arduous
conditions of retreat have been de-
monstrated afresh. Notwithstanding
his obstinacy in fighting and his per-
sietency in carrying out manoeavres,
the enemy is atill confronted by an
army which fully retains its strength
and morale, and its ability not only
to offer staunch and successful resist-
ance, but to assume the offensive and
inflict blows, which has been demon-
strated by the events of recent days.
"This affords the best proof that the
Austro -Germans have failed to destroy
or even disorganize our army. Seeing
that they failed in that effort during
five months which were most favor-
able to them, it would be impossible
for them to repeat the Galician and
Vistula exploits now that the success -6e
of the Allies in the west have com-
plicated the strategical. positions.
"The crisis has passed favorably for
us. We issued safely from difficult
position in the advanced Vistula
theatre, where we were enveloped on
three sides, and now stand based upon
the centre of our empire, unexhausted
by war. It is true that there is still
much fierce, deterrnined fighting
ahead; there may be movements rear-
wards, but there certainly will be
advances• also.
"Our army lives in expectation of a
general offensive, and looks with full
confidence to the armies of its allies.
we will march boldly and cheerfully
forward, conscious that in ao doing it
is defending the interests of our coun-
try and the interests of our alltes.
"A stirring etruggie with the forces
O nature has schooled the Russians
to hardships and ingrained in theft
the instinct to hasten to the puccor
and relief of to brother in need. Hence
en appeal from our allies will always
find a warm response from the Rus-
sian Only."
The correspohdent reniarks that the
concluding phrase, referring, as it
doubtless does, to Serbia, typifies the
deep-seated institet of the Ruselan to
respond to blood ties.

Italy, which, for weeks, has done
nothing in a military way, has launch-
ed the greatest offensive she has yet
undertaken against the Austrian fron-
tier.
Russia, taking advantage of the con-
trol she has retained over the Gulf of
Riga, has landed a force op. the Cour-

GREECE TO TURN?
Entente Powers Begin to See a
Menace to Their Arms,
London, Oct, 24.- • The attitude of
Greece as viewed by the Entente
powers has changed from a puzzle into
a menace. The British press is begin-
ning to manifest symptoms of anxiety,
and some papers frankly express the
fear that Greece may at any moment
turn against the allies and attack tlte
allied forces which she allowed t6 land
tn her territory.
The predominant note in all edi-
torial discussions of the situation' Is a
demand that the allies ascertain eery
promptly and equally clearly just
"where they stand," or rather wliere
Greece proposed to stand if Serbia
should be actually crushed and the
invaders have their hands free for
further operations.
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
"It Greece's sovereign reinaine con-
vinced that Germany and her allies
have the upper hand, what is there in
his past conduct to ensure that lie will
not make a treacherous attack on our
forces at the first sign of their sus-
taining a check elsewhere?
"There is every- need for the 011E%
to place their relations with :areece on
a footing which will sprevent further
'surprises."
Athens despatches continue to hint
at pourparlers between Greece and
Bulgaria for an understanding. The
Greek Foreign Office denies these re-
ports, but the,Nea Hellas, an Opposi-
tion organ, insists that they are true.
