However, she looks mighty pretty in
all those lovely clothes, nearly all soft
blues. You know she has always
been known by that color, and she is

SOCIALIST URGES
ITALY TO FIGHT
H. M. Hyndman Says Ma
ton Ought to Strike
German MilitariSm.
tRv Cnhln 70 Ire Tribune. |

Rome, Oct. = Henry NJ. Hyndman,
the Socialist leader has written long
letter TO the "Messagero" eXhorting
italy TO intervene in the war. He spcs
ne writes as an old friend OF ltsIy.
who. in spite Of the government :
errors. has always had a profound ad-
miration and affection for Italy since
1860.
"For many years have been con-
vinced." Mr.. Hyndman says. that
Prussianized Germany aimed at p
hegemony Of Europe. The whole world
now recognizes the truth ct y" convic-
ton. Germany is morally beaten by
having violated and brutally treated
Belgium. Italy has done well 10 re-
fuse being dragged into this ignoble
war of aggression. What courage ner
refusal required my compatriots do not
realize. yet if things had gone badly
for the Entente powers italy would
have paid for her refusal dearly.
"Now. however. the opportune mo-
ment has arrived for her 70 join the
league against Berlin militarism. For
such a decision there are good reasons:
First, to maintain public law and safe
guard the liberty and independence OF
the little states; second. 20 obtain
emancipation of the oppressed nation
alties; third, to hasten the end of the
war; fourth, TO secure to Italy the
right to claim the cession of territories
historically and radically hers. If she
further delays she will commit
moral and political error. Those who
run no risks cannot expect much con-
sderation at the finish.
81 consider Vavour as the greatest
statesman Of the nineteenth century,
but he di d not conduct his greatest poll
cy by pIudently removing his stakefrom
the table when the play seemed danger
Gus He sent Italian troops 10 the Crimea
at critical moment, thus securing for
italy a seat at tho Congress Of 1856.
Now. before tho victory Of the Entente
powers is dehnitive. is the moment for
Italy 10 take similar decision"
The "Messagsro" remarks that Mr..
Hyrdman's judgment deserves Italian
attention because he was with Carl
bald in 1866. and is no lingo.

EAT CANNED FOOD
Great Care Taken in the
Preparation of Meat
and Vegetables.

Details concerning the enormous
amount OF care and organization neces-
sary for the feeding OF an army OF A
million men have been received here
from a correspondent in Germany, VINO
writes:
Canned goods form the greater por-
ton Of the army's food supply. The
great military canned goods factories
at Munich, Ansbach, Mayence and
Haselhorst. as we'll as private concerns,
furnish all these. Both government
factories and the private firms are at
all times under strict contract. which
absolutely insures all ingredients to be
of good grade in every respect.
"All sanitary requirements are par
ticularlv insisted upon. The employees,
chiefly female, arc dressed in washable
white material and wear closely fitting
caps. The purest unmixed fat only is
used in cooking and baking. This, as
we'll as all other ingredients. such as
salt, vinegar. spices. etc. must pass
inspection Of the food supply authori-
ties and must come up 10 the pre-
scribed standard. All packages deliv-
cred must have the mark of the manu-
facturer. as we'll as the exact date the
article was canned.
There are two kinds of canned
meats beef in bouillon with potatoes
and goulash. Canned tongue is pre-
pared in smaller quantities.
Special abattoirs are constructed.
The cattle, sheep and hogs undergo
strict inspection. both before and after

Paris. Oct. S.--The British Indian
army is said 10 DE rapidly becoming ac-

splendidly equipped.
The people o. the French cities
where the men are quartered are IA

enter the cafes or accept hospitalities'
All the men except the Ghurkas are
great in stature. There is scarcely a
man under six feet in height, while
some are giants.
More than half the Indian contingent
are white troops, who arc regarded as
the flower OF the British army. Trans

brought with the men from India.
