ITALY AND THE WAR.
The fall of Austria what a tri
umph! From the point of view of
Italy's victory the story is all the
more miraculous. The congratula
tions showered upo-n Count V. Mac
chi di Cellere, Italy's democratic am
bassador, were many and real. The
Italian Embassy has become the cen
ter of about the livliest interest in
Washington, and there are no indica
tions that there were times in the
past when Italy's contribution's to the
allied cause were no accorded as
great appreciation as now. Now that
the arms of our gallant Southern
ally have been crowned with victory,
and her great General Diaz has re
ceived the surrender of the Austrian
forces, we are paying a deserved if
somewhat belated tribute to the sac
rifices, courage and withal, magnifi
cent prowess in the arts of war.
Though prosperous when the war
broke out Italy had the smallest pop
ulation and the most limited re
sources. Her manufactures were ex
panding. Her army was not well
equipped. The country was short of
pnineral resources, especially coal and
iron. Despite these limitations Italy
has occupied a place of first impor
tance in the struggle from the very
outset. Even before she entered the
war her declaration .of neutrality per
mitted the withdrawal of French
troops from the Italian border, and '
thus contributed to the strength of
the French, and helped to make pos
sible the first battle of the Marne.
Italy's Sacrifices.
Italy has called to the colors not
less than 5,500,000 men, and has suf-
jfered the loss of almost 1,500,000 of
them. Of that loss nearly 350,000
died in battle, and 100,000 from dis
ease. Over 550,000 are totally in
capacitated, either by blindness, loss
of limb or tuberculosis. At the pres
ent mojment the strength of the Ital
ian army is 4,025,000, including the
class of men born in 1900, who have
been called to the colors recently. It
may be said, then, that the nation's
man-power has suffered a permanent
loss of nearly a million. Serious as is
this loss, Italy has inflicted an even
greater punishment upon the foe. In
Austrian prisoners alone she has
taken 174,385, of whom 4,489 are
officers. The Austrian loss in killed
and wounded is, of course, unknown
to us; but even the most consevra
tive estimates make it far greater
than ours. In the last offensive on
the Piave alone over 200,000 Aus
trian dead were left an the field. It
is a piece of well-pnerited good for
tune that Italy has been able to
strike one of the most spectacular de
cisive blows of the war. The debacle
of the Austrians capped one of the
climaxes of the war. The surrender
of the Austrians capped one of the
climaxes of the war. Thes urrender
of the Austrians to General Diaz on
the battlefield carried with it an even
greater suggestion of a complete de
feat than the request of the other
Hun allies' for an armistice. Even
going back further than this, we are
reminded by a military reviewer thatf
the retreat of the Germans on the
western front really began with the
retreat of the Austrians behind the
Piave before the bayonets of the in
trepid Italians.
Overcome Serious Difficulties.
Let us not forget that out of 36,
000,000 inhabitants of Italy at the
beginning of the war only 17,000,000
were males, of whom only 9,000,000
were adults economically productive.
After the army was mobilized only
100 adults remained in each town or
village to provide for some 320 chil
dren below the age of fifteen. Francis
H. Sisson, Vice President of the Guar
anty Trust Company, of New York,
points out that the pre-eminence of
Italy in the production of certain ar
ticles of commerce made her the chief
source of supply for similar products
of a war-like nature. The Italian
automobile, aeroplane, turbine and
heavy oil engine became prominent
factors in supplying the allied ar
mies with these war necessities at
critical periods. In an adjmirable ed
itorial the New York Evening Sun
puts the situation: "So. England,
we are proud to think America'
have aided Italy in her gigantic ef
fort. But each of the Allies has a
field especially its own. And the
blood-stained plains of the Venetian
province and the snowy peaks of-the
Trention are the especial theatre of
Italy's valor and of Italy's renown.
All the Ally world, all Christendom,
pays tribute to King Victor Emman
uel, to General Diaz, to the Italian
people, and prays that their suffer
ings and their success may have cen
turies of fruition in the prosperity,
peace and progress of their com
pletely reunified country." And this
adequately expresses the opinion of
Washington, official and unofficial.
WHAT - TEOmLLH' -RELIEF-K
DOING..
"Fifty miles' from a 'wire station,
five miles from a telephone," writes
Shelby D. Watts, Red Cross Home
Service field agent, to James L. Ftie
ser, Lake Division Director of Civilian
Relief. ,
N Mr. Watts, besides carrying, visit
ing and organizingJIome Service sec
tions iRed Cross-chapters, is doing
Home Service work-in the untfaveled
mountains of Kentucky wherever he
finds afflicted families.
His last report' to headquarters, be
sides the usual statistics reads:
"There are only some five hundred
people now sick with the 'flu' in I this
district. About a half dozen families
have no one to give medicine or care
for them at all every member of
the family being down. I cared for
a family of eight to-ady, all bed-fast.
I gave medicine, cooked potatoes,
boiled or coddled soft-boiled eggs,
washed dishes, cleaned up generally,
cut wood, built the fire, nursed the
baby and milked two cows, riding
hojme five miles in the dark over
creeks and mountains. The horse
went some, too.
"This is a sample of the work
needed to be done, but every man
here .has a job nursing his family or
relatives or neighbors."
The Military Relief Department of
the American Red Cross is to have a
representative and a staff at each of
the General Hospitals now being
opened throughout the country for
sick and disabled soldiers.
In the Lake Division Red Cross
territory these hospitals are to be lo
cated at the Cincinnati East High
School, at the Deaf and Dumb Insti
tute at Columbus, the Richman Bros
model factory at Cleveland, the" State
Hospital at Lima and at the former
health resort hotel at West Baden,
Indiana.
Edward B. Green, director of the
Red Cross Department of Military
Relief in the Lake Division, is au
thority for the statement that the
Red Cross will have u staff at each
of the above institutions.
"These staffs," says Mr. Greene,
"will largely parallel, in their make
up and activities, "the staffs that ve
now have and have had for months
at all the big military training camps
in this country. The size of the staff
will vary, but it is quite likely that
for a hospital of 1,500 beds we will
have a field derector, an assistant
field director, two or three associate
directors and one of two stenogra
phers. "Outfield director at each hospital
is to have charge of all activities, of
outside organizations that wish to
volunteer their services for hospital
work. It goes without saying, how
ever, that these Red Cross field direc
tors will be responsible to the com
manding 'officers of the hospitals and
will neitherplan nor permit activi
ties which do not meet with the com
plete approval of the commanding
officers. " -
"The staff men will attend to such
details as communication and visit
ing, and we will be prepared to fur
nish emergency supplies upon requisi
tion just as we had the opportunity
to do in a big way during the recent
epidemic of influenza."

REDCOSS BEDS FOR REFUGEES.
A few months ago one of the big
gest problems confronting the Bed
Cross was to find enough beds for
Xhe refugees in France. -In spite of
many ingenious schemes thousands of
refugees were sleeping on hard floors.
So the Red Cross went into the bed
making business. In Bordeaux.- Lv-
ons and Toulouse,, situated in thel
timber regions and railroad centers
for large areas in which thousands of
i ei usees are living, arrangements
were maae xo manufacture aironce a
special Red Cross bed which'is strong'
the springs, costs only fiye dollars

BOBBIE'S GOOD SUGGESTION.
Junior and Bobbie are both four.
Junior wears his hair bobbed, while
Bobby has" his hair cut hort. They
were playing ..soldier, and Junior
spent most of his time pushing his
hair back out of his eyes. Finally
Bobbie said: "Say, don't you know
sojers don't have long hair? You
better hike home and tell your moth
er to have your hair cut like men's."
