Lamont Sounds Encouraging Note.

That was trumpet note which sounded by
Thomas w. Lamont, of J. P. Morgan Company, when
speaking of the situation in Italy. Mr.. Lamont had
observed apparently that many persons were disposed
to look with apprehension upon the military situation
in Europe by of the sudden and mpetuous drive
of the German and Austrian armies in Italy.
He deemcl it the right moment to sound clear
call for cour and faith in the ultimate triumph of
the allies and to show that although the in
Italy undoubtedly serious and may tend to lengthen
the war; nevertheless they cannot matter how much
further expanded the Teutonc advance into Italy may
be- prevent the triumphant conclusion OF the for
the allies.
Mr. Lamont calls attention to the fact that Ger
many has already occupied and holds possession OF
great stretches OF territory but this has given to her
no real or permanent advantage, for the holding of
land does not mean military success
Gradually but surely Germany is being driven from
France and Belgium. and although her armies hold
sway over Serbia and Rumania nevertheless these two
countries have not been crushed.
Shortly after the Second Liberty Loan was offered
for subscription to the American people and when
there seemed to be doubt of the complete
of the offering. J. P. Morgan in few words spoken
for publication declared that the loan would be
That prediction served greatly to encourage that
wonderful body of American statesmen who vol
unfairly and without remuneration engaged in selling
the bonds to the people
Now Mr.. Morgan's partner, Thomas w. Lamont,
at Just the right and in exactly the right way
Counsels courage and faith that whatever has happened
in Italy OF may still happen is likely prove in due
time not great victory for Germany, but viii create
influences which may hasten her ultimate defeat.

Lessons from Italy.

The allies are rushing supplies" TO Italy
In the meantime presumably, the Italians are get
ting along as best they without those supplies
Which consist in what? For the time being, shells
primarily say the dispatches.
But number of months ago Italian statesmen in
dicated unless coal and food, well shells,
hurried to them it would be impossible for Gen. Ca
dorna's brilliant activities the Isonzo front TO
tinue. Coal was particularly important, for without
coal the wheels of Italian industry-muntons and
other factories-would necessarily stop turning.
All those things army in the field is dependent
upon were in dependent upon the fuel situation.
Is the apparent Italian collapse due to failure to
heed those early appeals? Withstanding the fire of the
German sbg guns with bayonets and fighting spirit is
a bad business as demonstrated previously in Russia
and Rumania 1t can't be done
And from all that can be CLEANED from carefully
censored cabeGrams this appears to be what Gen
Cadorna is up against
The allies are rushing supplies. Although the situ
time to be rushing anything Italy. The supplies
should have been there long ago
The lesson for the allies is that absolute coordina
ton among themselves is essential if the Germans
to be effectively checked at an early date.
The lesson for America is that more than ever,
We must do our part. Also that in doing Our part
the industrial factor is of prime importance.
1t is all very well to be sending troops to France
in as rapidly increasing numbers practicable. But
at the same time, it must be remembered, the bulk of
our limited shipping is still faced by the job of render
ing impossible repetition of what appears to be the
real Italian disaster alone on the Italian but on
all other European fronts.

And she sets all your pulses awhirl
And you're tlckled to death that you know her:
Though you thrill at the touch of her glove
:, And with eyes that are burning you view her,
You cannot be you're in love
Till you want to talk baby-talk to her
If you look with frown and sneer
On the victims of infantie babbe;
If it makes you disgusted to hear
Such silly nonsensical gabble;"
Your hearts not affected as yet
However intensely you WOO her.
For when you're in love you can bet
You'll want TO talk baby-talk TO her

When caught by the tenderest passion

They'll gursle and lisp every phrase
No sign of affection is truer-

The National Commission War Camp Com

if it called the National Morale Committee for
that really its functon-o increase to inspire and
encourage the mental moral and physical fitness OF oyr
soldier boys.
Our distinguished citizen, Mr. Henry White, who
is aiding this country in its time of stress in so many
ways, is back of movement to raise 10000 in the
District of Columbia. so much of this money as is
needed to be expended in safeguarding the boys in
training when not in training In other words Mr.
White aims to meet organized vice with organized
virtue
No will dispute the necessity OF this move
ment. The upon the world with startling
night Freedom rather than discipline held sway for
long time-vith the result that thousands went to
the trenches and to most certain death because of
weakened bodies, the product of weakened morals
Half million boys are away from their
homes for the first time. These boys are the flower
OF the land Youth, hope patriotism, courage blend
ed into American soldier. Those of us who stay
at home it to ourselves to see that these bows
are protected in every way within our power
So let get behind Mr.. White He is rendering
a most important service He cannot do it alone So
that we may not be accused of preaching without
practicng, The Herald agreed to be daddy"
to 100 OF these boys, and il similar way the other
caoers are heartily and generously cooperating. !
