" ERIDAY, JULY 26, 1918 TAL COMES GK AFTER IG Nation Now Stands Facing Foe With Will To Win on Anni- versary Date of War nt, 1918, by United Press.) Copyright, 1918, by ess. (ROME, dély 25.—A year ago, the Italian armies were within 12 miles of Triest, and on the direct road to the interior of Austria. Today they are holding the line of the Piave river, overlooking the rich Venetian plain, now in the hands of the enemy. But this picture of territorial re- linquishment finds the Italian people nearer to true victory and realiza- tion of national aspirations than they were the day before the disaster at Caperetto. That triumph of German intrigue and propaganda, resulting in the rout of the Italian army and the retreat to the Piave, was the first step toward the creation of the pres- ent national solidtary of Italy for prosecution of the war, : The extent of Italy’s rejuvenation is illustrated by -her tremendous de- feat of the Austrian offensive, which began along the 100-mile front from the Asiago plateau to the Adriatic, the morning of June 15. Unlike the previous offensive, this effort found the Italian armies ready and wafting. British and French troops fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the Italians in the mountain region, and in the last days of the offensive, American airmen render- ed important cooperation. AUSTRIANS CROSS PIAVE The Austrians, who made this drive minus the German aid which had characterized their former campaigns, were stopped in the north, but sue- ceeded in crossing the Piage at sey- eral points. Their greatest penetva- tion here did not exceed five miles, however, Their losses were stupen- dous. Nearly a million men were engaged by them, and their killed, wounded and missing were estimat- ed at 250,000, The Allies took the initiative on the mountain™front on the seceond day, and eventually reestablished the old line there. The tide turned on the Piave during the fifth day, Rains in the mountain region flooded the river, preventing the Austrians bring- ing up reinforcements, ammunition or food. On June 22, the ‘Austrian retreat began. became an utter rout. They lost more than 25,000 prisoners. After winning back their old lines along the Piave, the Italians, British and French began systematic local etnerprises which have been success- ful in wining territory, ‘inflicting casualties and aequiring prisoners. These continue as this is written. PROPAGANDA OFFENSIVE The Central, powers’ biggest offen- sive against ftaly during the past year was the attack of the morale of her soldiers and civilians. It coincided very nearly with the various “affairs” in France. It was finally crushed and defeated by the thoro exposure of Germany’s treachery af- ter the military defeat. The moral rebound which came to Italy after the stemming of the Aus- tro-German rush on the Piave was further strengthened by several oth- er factors. Probably the chief one among them was the creation of the Allied “single front.” Long before the appointment of General Foch as supreme commanders on the western fronts, the Italians were made to feel the unity of Allied interests when the British and French expeditions took up their positions on the new line of defense. That was after the Italians, alone, had halted the ene- my, and the best appreciation of this feat is given in the words of a high Allied offi |, who said; Italy’s resistance on the line of the Piave will live among the most fam- ous deeds of battles of all ages. It is not\too much to say that the cause of the Alliance would have been se-| verely compromised, if not more, had} not the Italian troops stood their ground and turned back the invad- ers from Italy on those celebrated defenses. I firmly believe that that great feat of arms not only had an objective result of enormous import- ance; I believe it has been of enor- rviee to the Italians them- . They have come, out of that | with greater’ unity, with great, self-confidence, and, if possibly, with greater courage than they ever had before.” ITALIANS TO (FRANCE Italy has shown her appreciation of the lessons and results of the Piave action by the dispatch of an Italian foree to France. Her con- fidence in the reality of inter-Allied solidarity is further confirmed by the arrival of American troops. Another great avent in Italy his- tory of the past year is the Rome con- ference of representatives of the sub- ject races of Austria and the resolu- tion which resulted from the proceed- ings there. For many months prey- lous, practically from the time of the Russian revolution, enemy intriguers und misled persons in the Allied coun- tries had been doing their utmost to I the ties between Italy and ‘ance, England and America by a disparaging campaign against the for- mer’s war aims, The principal attack of these per- “istency between the supposed aims cf Italy and her gorrespondingly °ged injust attitude toward the aims of the Austrian nationalities. This Vrepaganda had a certain success in vat it led to a continual’ bickering 'n sections of the Allied press and * vague, general, mutual distrust of ech others motives between Italy and er Allies, . 4 Ay hether any serious menace to Al- ‘ed unity would have resulted it is In some places it!

That is a great work, and those who have boren part in it may be proud of th accomplishment. I have al- ways felt that there was no incon- sistency whatever between the aspir- atiuns of Italy and those of Jugo- e t z Slavs. It is welcome, not only “be- ice and right of the subject races of! cause it is just and true, not only Austria to dence and second-| because it increases the cordial co-} » ly, she acknoweldged that there was) operation of the Allies, but also ‘be-| no conflict between that principle nd her own war aims.

First, Italy recognized the just- which we are fighting.” '|. DYNAMIC RED CROSS MONEY | =: By FRANKLIN K. LANE, Secretary ef the Interior. UT of the $100,000,000 given last June by the American people to the Red Cross, nearly one-half ($45,000,000) has gone to help the refugees, the orphaned children, the repatriates and | wounded of the French, Belgian, Italian, Serbian, Roumanian and other peoples. The Red Cross has spent more than $30,000, - | 000 in France alone in the establishment of canteens for the poilus, the reconstruction of deyasted dis- tricts, the care of homeless children, the housing of | refugees, the sending of food, clothes and supplies | to the sorely burdened civilian population. More than $2,000,000 has been spent in fighting tubercu- | losis, one of the worst of war’s by-products; $1,149,- | 000 has been expended forthe shelter of war orphans. $2,709,736 has been appropriated for the recenstruc- | tion of villages and general relief work in the dev- | asted areas. Gees “In Italy a great work of relief was organized after the Austro-German drive of last fall, and the | thousands of refugees that came pouring over the | Po and the Piave were aided by a business-like and [2 far-reaching supply and canteen service, improvised | out of the existing organization. More than) - $3,000,000 was thus spent for Italy. American funds will soon make the plain of | Monastir fertile once more through the importation of seeds and agricultural implements. In this section of Serbia more than fifty thousand. refugees have | ‘been on the verge of starvation for nearly two years. It should be a source of daily pride to every American that our own Red Cross is adding new | glories to the American Name in the Mother! ‘Continent. Our full support is essential if its pres- '% ent mighty work of succor and human brotherhood | is to be continued on an ever increasing scale. | ‘ON AND AFTER AUGUST 1ST, OUR DELIVERIES WILL BE MADE AS FOLLOWS: Deliveries for the north side will be made in the forenoon and orders will be taken up to 9:30 o'clock. : Deliveries for south side will be made in the afternoon and orders taken up to 3:00 o'clock.
