ITALY IS MAKING
GOOD.
No piece of news since March 21 is
more pleasing than the announcement
that the Italians have stopped thr- Aus
I tnans without allowing the enemy to
.-jn any advantage whatever.
If this latest offensive dies down,
with the forces lined up as they are to
day, the triumph will be a glorious one
for Italian arms.
For months there has been uneasi
ness over the Italian front. A break
through was feared. Now the Italian
?imy is taking on the elements of
firmness and, instead of being viewed
as a source of weakness Is belnc re
garded as a pillar of strength, uphold
ing the structure which is to sustain
an allied victory.
When the west bank of the Piave
1 river is cleared of the Austrian? and
Hungarians, Italy will be entitled to
congratulations.

PEACE RIOTS AND HUNGER
MEAN NOTHING.
German cities are reported to have
6tarted peace demonstrations and. the
people of Austro-Hungary are said to
be suffering of slow starvation.
When Captain de Beaufort was in
Ogden he warned his hearers not to I
j ' accept either story, which he predict-1
( I ed would be revived. He said the peo
ple of the central empires are on small
rations and are going through severe
privations, but they would endure.
These rumors. Captain de Beaufort
I said, would be circulated preliminary"
I to peace overtures by Germany, but
he warned the American people not
to be deceived by the enemy. With J
! the military supreme neither popular I
demand for peace nor real hunger j
would count, and only that which was
wanted by the masters would proail
Peace, with German military pres
tige established, would be worse than
death for the people of all other na
tions, as the constant menace of an
other world war would be ever pri
ent, with all nations burdened to the
u'anost with armaments.
ION THE FOURTH
OFJULY.
When the 6un comes up on Thurs
day morning. July 4, and brightens the
mountain tops of the Vosges on the
border between France and Germany,
there will be a lively bombardment
Of the trenches where the followers
of the Kaiser are on guard. The Teu
tons will send up alarm rockets and
there will be the greatest commotion
sUnce a day last year when the Ameri
can troops arrived on the battle front.
Heinie will say to Fritz, "Those rest
kss Americans are starting some more '
deviltry. Wonder what it is this!
me?"
Then the cannonading will erase
and a bugle will be heard proclaiming
the glory of the Stars and Stripes. If j
there be a former resident of America
in that sector of the German lines,
the meaning of it all will be quickly
understood.
It will be the boys of America, far
away from home, celebrating the natal
day of the land they love so well. .
It will be the first celebration of
the Fourth of July by an American
armed force on German soil. On that
little strip of soil beyond Toul, where
Alsatian territory Is occupied by Amer
ican troops, the Fourth of July will 1
be an event of no ordinary importance. 1
The guns heard on that day will be
notice to Germany that America is in
the war to the end ' 1

the firing of the sunrise ;runs on the
Fourth in Alsace, a simultaneous sa

souls, led by a crazy kaiser. The poi
son has been systematically Inoculated
, by an oppressive system of schools.
The people follow blindly and their
leaders have come to believe their own
folly."
Dr. Otis characterized the German
efficiency as brutal and materialistic,
declaring that the Prussians have no
effiicency of morals or spirituality.
The word "brotherhood," he said, is
not known to that people.
What really was wrong with the
German people nas this:
First, they allowed themselves to be
ruled by a military caste.
Second, they were in no position to
say no. to the question of war. The
; mighty clash came without their lot
or hindrance. One man gave the word
i and the world began to bleed.
Third, after the first blows were
struck, there was no recalling. Reason
' bad deserted and brute force was in
ontrol No nation, once involved in
WWi can be reached by any other in
i fluencc i lian force.
The only thine to cure Germany is
I on overwhelming defeat. When this
is administered, militarism will lose
its hold and the German people, chas
tened by adversity, will begin to build
Ion a better, more substantial, endur
! ing foundation.
It may be well for humanity that
this calamity came as it'did. Had the
j kaiser postponed the world-conquering
campaign ten years, Germany, with
its allies, might have won. Ten more
years of preparing might have" made
Germany invincible. Our opinion is
that the great impelling motive which
caused the kaiser to launch his attack
on orderly civilization was the test of 1
the big guns and high explosive shells !
which the Krupps declared could blow I
j any line of defense to pieces. Before
other nations had an opportunity of
discovering this source of German
strength, which assured the breaking
down of all barriers to German world i
dominance, the kaiser gave the word 1
to go and the war was on. Poison gas j
also may have been a determining fac- ,
tor.

ONE MORE PAPER
IN UTAH.
Js there a big political move on in
Utah?
Rumor has it that a Salt Lake paper
is to be revived for the purpose of stir
ring up the weak-hearted party men.
and he first issue is to appear about
July 1.
There is no room for another paper
in Salt Lake, except a political organ
which answers to no law of necessity
but springs into being in response to,a
demand from the inner circle.
This organ, if it appears, could play
nearly all the old tunes. Three or
four of the reeds are bent and might
wheeze, but the melodies of the good
old days of machine rule in Utah
could be produced even with flaws in
the instrument, and, though there
would be flat notes, the gang would
enjoy the music.

WHAT TO DO WITH
O'LEARY.
Let us hope Jeremiah O'Leary is
crazy, as no sane American should be
guilty of the crimes against this coun
try charged to the New Yorker whose
father is of Irish blood but whose
mother is of German birth.
Word comes that 0'Lear's defense
is to be insanity and proof is to be
I presented that he is a degenerate.
There is no doubt about his degener
acy because only a disorganized mind
could have prompted the treachery to
his native land that O'Leary had
worked out.
But if insanity is nothing more
than a subterfuge, the plea should fall J
flat and the conspirator be rushed to
the firing line.
For nearly four years O'Leary had
received German money and was dis
tributing the funds among those will
ing to serve as tools. Widespread
rioting, which would have led to mur
ders, was arranged for and factories
were to be blown up and rai!road3
wrecked. The reign of terror was to
cripple the United States.
Now the United States should pro
ceed to cripple O'Leary, and do the job !
so thoroughly that his own friends I
would not recognize him after the fin-1
ishing touches were applied to his
carcass.
This case of O'Leary is a reminder
of the arrival in this country of Dr.
Albert, who came from Berlin wnh
bonds and other securities totaling
$7,000,000 and letters of credit aggre
gating $50,000,000. Albert was to con
fer with Ambassador Bernstorff as to
how to proceed to debauch the Ameri
can people and start a campaign of an
archy. On the day following his land
ing in New York, after he had writ
ten to the German embassy in Wash
ington, informing Bernstorff of his
presence in America, a dapper young
fellow, speaking German fluently
handed him his own Washington let
ter by way of introduction and said he
was from the embassy. But before he
would take Dr. Albert into his confi
dence, he demanded that the special
emissary give proof that he was Dr.
Albert. This was a demonstration of
American gall which the doctor will
never forget. When the financial rep
resentative of the Kaiser had estab
lished his Identity to the satisfaction
of his visitor, the two went into se
clusion and before the American
emerged be had in his possesion the
secrets of a propaganda which was to
set America in flames. It was this ear-
ly trapping of the financial conspira- I
tor and the connecting up of Count
von Bernstorff with the outrages
which were to be fostered that made
easy Ihe trailing of such vile creat
tures as Jeremiah O'Leary and all the
poisonous brood of dynamiters, includ

SAVE AND CONTRIBUTE
FOR THE WAR.
8 Why we should save and subscribe,
and continue to contribute, in an end
2 less stream in proportion to our abil
ity, to the cause of our nation is Ihus
j made plain by the editor of the Balti
s more American:
t When the president and1 the con
j cress declared the nation at war with
Germany, all Americans were in ef
fi i i conscripted and have remained so
aver since. Likewise ihe industries
i of ihe couniry were placed under con
, seriptlon to the great industry of war
x fare. There is no business that does
not primarily owe allegiance first of
" all to the war needs of the nation
Tin1 essence of war thrift is the
I weeding out of all extraneous enter
( prise, all extraneous expenditure, all
extraneous activities and a bending of
I the entire nation to the preat task of
crushing German autocracy and re-
bukinc its brute force by thel nvinri
ble compulsion of richi This is the
spirit in which nvestmenl n war s
sues should be made whether these
i ik i he form of Liberty bonds or war
'ings stamps This is the spirit of
ihrift that impatiently team off the
husk of American prodlcal expenditure
in order that the seeds of American
' war enterprise may be reached and
I may be planted in the soil of Ameri
can patriotic purpose There will be
as much expenditure during the prog
ress of the war as there has ever been
But it will be expenditure with one
aim in iew. Whether one buys bread
or buys frocks or erects a house, the
sinnleness of purpose to make no in
vestment or outlay unnecessarily will
be present in his action.
From the sa vines offer led through
the cutting out careless and use
I less expenditures, from (he sav
ings rreated through more rigid
economy on the part of those whose
means are limited, will be brought
forth the people's magnificent (ontri
bul ions to the patriotic ends of the n;
Hon in the full measure of the need.
The savings of the people will be
measured very largely by their pur
chases of war savings stamps. Their
loyalty and deotion to th? ideals of
Ihfl nation will be measured by the
- ?auge. Piiei.- hatred of Gei man
aggression, oppression and rapacity
will appear to vU v In the bulk of their
purchases of these stamp:, which in
the total vtl .p ill success for the na
t!on's cause. The savings of the con
sumer who a b-.fi In., from useless con
sumption will swell ihe bulu of the
D;'t:on's war capital.
War is the great consumer of money
land utilities. But these are nothing
to its consumption of lives The lives
are given freely that the cause may
be won Money must be given as free
ly, that fewer lives may be sacrificed
to gain the war-aims of the nuiion.
Out from the enormous expendit ur-"-to
win the war will emerge victory bv
tbe sword, the only kind of victory
that can satisfy the needs of the world
of really civilized beings. Every in
vestment in the war issues of the na
Hon aids In sharpening the sword of
justice against the Germans. Let ev
eryone understand that the war sav
ings stamps are a method of contri
bution for those who want to support
ihe hi'h and holy cause of freedom
irom their limited means.
The war will be won by the savings
of the people, savings that center in
the one enterprise of the nationa, sav
ings for the purchase of ships and
guns and supplies The war savings
stamps are ready at hand for the pur
chase of every American citizen and
all others who are in the enjoyment
of the country's bounties. Not many
ereat, not many mighty- are called to
ihe supreme service and the high
tasks of the times, but millions of the
lowly will be found treading the high
way of liberty for the peoples that will
be cast up by their sacrifices repre
sented by their savings.

EXORBITANT MEAT
PRICES DEMANDED
Packers Deliver Hams, Which
Navy Pay Director Describes
as Musty and Mouldy.
EW YORK, Tune 19Men 0f (ne
American navy and the naval reserve
would have been served with great
quantities of decayed meat, but for
the vigilance of the inspection of f 1 -
cers who rejected it as unfit for hu
j man consumption, according to evi
dence given here today before the
I federal trade commission. The testi
mony was brought out during the in
quiry which the commission is con
ducting into charges that Wilson and
company, packers, sold "bad" hams
to the government.
Naval officers also testified that
the packers had asked "exorbitant"
prices in bids to furnish hams to the
navy, with the result that a comman
detrinp order was issued at prices
fixed by the government.
After Captain Charles Williams,
navy pay director, had described his
refusal to accept 492,074 pounds ot
hams, which he said was 'musty,
mouldy, harrow-sour or just plain
sour." Thomas E Wilson, president
of the compay. denied that his firm
had ever knowingly delivered tainted
meat to the army or navy.
The packers' testimony was supple
mented by that of Walter K. Reese
and H. Hirschfelder, agents at Phila
delphia and San Antonio, who denied
havinp: attempted at any time to dis
pose of unsound meat to the govern
ment. Captain Williams, who is Stationed

I Make no mistake.
We're in it to the finish.
If it's not settled over there it must be settled over here,
You don't believe it perhaps.
Neither did many believe that such an awful war could happen at all.
Bvt it did.
The sooner all of us get to thinking about this war in terms of our homes,
our loved ones, our fate, the sooner it is going to be won, for won it
must be.
Let it not be said that the Atlantic ocean has dampened our enthusiasm for
making personal sacrifice.
And after all lending our government money, at a good rate of interest, on the best secur
ity id the world, can hardly be called sacrifice.
It certainly is not sacrifice as the word is understood in Europe.
But if we can 't do anything else to help win the war, except to lend our money, let's lend a
a lot of it, and with the heartiest good will.
