More people should use fountain pens for every writing purpose. The reason they don't is that they have an idea there isn't just the pen that writes like them.

But there is the Tempoint Pen -the fountain pen with a particular writing point for every hand, young or old, light or heavy, fast or slow. Among them is the very pen that writes like you, and you can try it for ten days before you decide to keep it.

Step into any Tempoint dealer's. Select the pen that writes like you. You'll know at once that at last you have a pen that fits your hand and your writing mood.

But if it seems almost too good to be true that you really have a pen in hand that writes like you, try the Tempoint for ten days. Put it to every writing test. If you continue to be delighted you'll be glad to keep it. If not, take it back and the dealer has our authority to refund the full purchase price. That puts the full responsibility

of writing satisfaction on the
Tempoint. This is a daring
offer. But we know that the
Tempoint will more than meet
the test.

This is the pen with the hand
hammered gold nib, unaffected
by harmful ink acids or hard,
continuous writing. No matter
how severe the writing strain
the pen can not become sprung.
It is always a perfect writing
friend.

There are nine other distinctive
Tempoint features. Your dealer
will be glad to point them out
to you. After seeing them you
will indeed agree that here
mechanical excellence and writ-
ing perfection are wondrously
combined.

Self Filling styles, for chain,
pocket or handbag. Prices
$2.50 up. Every pen sold under
this same sweeping guarantee.
Go today. Select the particular
Tempoint that writes like you.

and minor nationalities have raised the standard of revolt in various parts of the Hapsburg patrimony. The sudden crumbling of this great and ancient empire is envisaged by our editors as one of the great facts of this war.

quarters of tyranny and reaction, of persecution, political and religious, seems about to disappear," says Mr. Simonds in the New York Tribune; "thirty millions of slaves are to become free men; the progress of the French Revolution, arrested at the Congress of Vienna, has been extended." This, we are told, is the "great human fact," but editors also point out that the break-up of Austria means much to us from the political and military aspects. For one thing, notes the New York Journal of Commerce, "the moment the Brenner Pass is open for the troops of the Allies to invade Bavaria, or they can advance uninterrupted across the Hungarian plain to occupy Dresden and Berlin, Germany will have to acknowledge her irretrievable defeat." Furthermore, a permanent result of the liberation of the subject peoples of Austria-Hungary would be:

ERMANY'S DOOM WAS FINALLY SEALED when her last two allies, Turkey and Austria, realized the uselessness of further fighting and surrendered to the Entente. Instead of Germany consolidating an empire in Central Europe, interested observers now see the Allies encouraging the development of a group of small independent nations between the Alps and the Karpathians, between the Adriatic and the Danube, and in Western Asia. When Europe was reconstituted after the overthrow of Napoleon, Austria took the leading part. The Austrian Metternich, worshiping political reaction as something holy, for a generation pulled from Vienna the diplomatic strings that kept princes on their thrones and peoples in subjection. It is, therefore, singularly fitting that the triumph of democracy a century later should be built upon the ruins of the Austrian Empire, that the first nations to experience a new birth of freedom through success of the armies of the free peoples should be the races so long shackled by the Hapsburg. Yet the political task of building the new from the ruins of the old is never a simple one. It may be fairly easy in what was once Turkey, for we now have an independent Arabia, Palestine and Mesopotamia already enjoy the blessings of British rule, while Smyrna has for some time had a practically independent ruler, and Turkish rule in many spots has been but nominal. But the task ahead of us in Central Europe can only, editors declare, be compared to "unscrambling eggs." With famine, revolution, and economic collapse at home, the appearance of Allied troops on the Danube and the advance of the Italians across the Piave were the signal for a quick exchange from offering to begging for peace on the part Austria. But, as some one asked in Paris, is there any longer any Austria to make peace? The ax is laid at the foot of the Hapsburg tree, observes the Buffalo Evening News, tho other dailies prefer a different figure for the crashing of the ramshackle Austrian Empire. The Boston Christian Science Monitor likens it to the breaking up of a wrecked ship. Others call it "dismembering," and the New York Globe sees Austria "dissolved, blown up from its own internal picric acid," and the Danubian basin "littered with the fragments of a broken régime." Vienna has acknowledged the independence of Hungary, of the Czecho-Slovaks, of the JugoSlavs, the Austrian Germans talk of ir own separate nation,

TWO REASONS WHY VIENNA QUIT.
The Italians struck at A, at B the Allies conquered Albania and
Servia and established a foothold on the Danube.

"(1) Instead of fifty-one million of Austro-Hungarian subjects, Germany could exploit the resources of only twenty-two millions of Austro-Germans and Magyars; (2) these liberated nationalities would form a barrier between Germany and the Balkans owing to their racial tradition of anti-Germanism and their geographical position. Or, to borrow the concise formula of Mr. Dubosc: 'If we are of those who speak of demolishing Austria and do not speak of demolishing Germany, it is because (1) the demolition of the one appears to us definitive, while that of the second appears ephemeral; (2) because the demolition of Germany appears to us superfluous on the day when Prussia will be cast down; (3) because the demolition of Austria will be the ruin of the bloc of Central Europe, which was hostile to us, and in particular of the mutual aid of German and Hungarian, assured by the Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867.'"

It is but in accord with the ordinary and expected workings of human nature, the Chattanooga News observes. "that the Entente and ourselves encourage the breaking up of the Central monarchies into smaller units"

"Germany pursued a similar course toward the Ukraine, Russian Poland, Lithuania, Esthonia, Livonia, and Finland. For centuries the chief fear of Germany had been of a Muscovite invasion. Now it practises to the east the policy of 'Divide
