ITALY SAVIOR 0F

Neutrality Saved Paris from Cap
 ture by Ton Kluck's Army

Washington. June 1.-FIow Italy's. action helped France throw back the Germans at the Marne and also weakened the German-Austrian offen- stve on Russia was detailed today by Augusta Ciuffeli. former minister Of public works and now member of the Italian war mission. Tn both cases. he said. 1taly's attitude was most decisive. Upon Italy's decla- ration of neutrality at the outbreak of the war" said Mir. Ciuftelli,
 France wasr able to withdraw one- half million men from our frontier, to throw them across the German path before Paris Without Italy's action, the Germans would probably have entered Paris.
 If Italy had been inspired by the lust of conquest she could easily have joined with Germany, whose victory would have been tremendously facil- ftated by her intervention. But Italy could not make herself party to the aggression of Austria upon Serbia and aid in 8 war featured by the invasion of Belgium. Italy could not Join the two imperial dynasties which dreamed Of world dominion on the principle that might makes right.
 . "Italy's sacrifice in the war has been almost staggering. We now have four million men under arms. Our front is hfty-four kilometres long. greater thanN the whole French and Belgian fronts. Every yard we have conquered has cost us terribly.
 Some of our heavy guns are fight ing from an elevation ~of over two miles, on peaks nine thousand. feet high,i Our roads and supply lines in many cases have been cut through solid ice. A whole new human center has been built up in the most inac- cessible part Of the Alps.
 This must be the last war. Nations cannot in the future squander all their money on military preparedness. The new spirit must make us live together in the ideals of peace and justice. Italy is eager to take her place in new world organized for peace just as on a smaller scale at the Algeciras conference she made possible the international agreement on Morocco"

ARTIFICIAL MILK.

A process has recently been pat
ented for the manufacture Of artifi-
cial milk. The chief constituents
besides water are bleached meal
made from nuts, sugar and potas-
sium phosphate. The solution is first
boiled, and is afterward treated in a
vacuum pan. Lactic bacteria are
then introduced to give the neces-
sary degree of acidity, and the milk
is pasteurized for 20 minutes at q
temperature of about $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. The final operation is
the stirring in of a minute percent
age of citric acid. The inventor
claims that milk made in this way
can be condensed, or dried and pow
dered, as in the case of the natural
product, while cream may be formed
by the addition of nut fat when the
milk is in the vacuum pan.-Cham-

Physical Courage In War.

Nearly always physical courage re-
suits from a comparative lack of per-
cepton. 1t leaves out many consid-
erations some Of them important. In
wartime It finds justification in its
generosity. To the cause it is work
Ing for II freely gives all that It has
behind 1t, including love Of life itself.
1t actually seems to court death.
With Joy 1t takes the road Of sacrifice.
For this reason IT must always be
beautiful. And with 1t there must go
a marvellous exhllaration, like spir-
itual intoxication. When 1t reveals
itself in mass courage, multitudes of
men exposing themselves for the
same cause, it must open up the pro-
foundest depths OF emotion.
