ITALI'S NERDUN

ITALY has held back the onrushing
Huns at the piave without the aid of
British and French re-euforccments.
That red river is 1taly'S Ncrduu. "Ther
shah not pass" has been the watChword
there as it was on the Meuse. Many
have believed that Italy's Allies were
helping her to hold back the invaders.
This is now definitely proved false by
the announcement that the Allied rr.
serves are only now arriving at positions
nchind the front To the cohorts of Diaz
alone is the credit due for the glorious
defense Of Venice.
II is no secret that Joftrc was advised
to give up Ncrduu and that the Italians
wcrc prepared to yield Venice ana retire
to the AdEc. But a sentiment swept
France that Ncrduu meant more than
strategic post. when it was understood
that the Crown Prince was determined 20

AN AMERICAN PEACE

To the Editor of the Erentng Ledger:
Sir-The whole world longs for peace
not an early peace at any price. not a
German peace. not an tnconclusive nego-
tated peace. not even an Allied peace but
an American peace--the only peace that
will endure and, in fact, make the world
safe for democracy.
If such an American peace is to be oh
tained, American public opinion must be
welded into weapon that will not only
make it possible but inevitable.
1t is upon broad, liberal-visioned papers
like yours that this vital work depends
