Parliament Nevertheless, 1t has
caused the greatest enthusiasm among
Englishwomen. Miss Roberta Mac
Adams, of the Canadian Military

Eone of the two representatives of the

face the same problems that you will
have to face here after the war-to
find employment for the returned peo-
pie without any hardship to those who
have been carrying on in our absence
We have no geographical electoral
district at the moment we stand for

SEND MESSAGE
TO ENCOURAGE
ITALIANS HERE
Ambassador at Washington
Says Despite Set Back
They Will Fight, On

Washington, Nov. The Italian
Ambassador Count zdi Cellere, in a
message yesterday to Americas Ital-
ian population declares that the peo-
pie of Italy and their army are firm
in their determination to carry on the
fight against the Austro-German in
vaders to a victorious end. The mes
sage, which was prompted by requests
from Italian citizens, in the United
States for information regarding the
Italian situation, has been semitic all
Italian Consuls for distribution as well
as to all Italian-language newspapers
in this country. 1t is as follows:
| From every oornor Of America
messages have reached me in which
the italian citizens, confirming their
attachment to their country, invoke
Information on the situation in
Italy.
| 81 wish to answer publicly these
moving manifestations Of patriotism.
THE news from Italy is that the
Austro-German coalition has attack
ed our army with overpowering forces
both in men and artillery, and that
the Italian troops, fulfilling faithfully
and bravely the directions of the SUI
preme command, are stemming the
advance of the enemy. The country
| Is UNFOLDING the army with calm de-
termination. From our allies we re-
-ceive the support of their solidarity
land OF their arms.
| eff the enemy, in his first rush, has
succeeded in overcoming a few units
of our army, innumerable deeds OF
valor were accomplished. When par
ticulars will be known, our country
will find in them reason to rejoice.
'It is only Monday that glorious
advance was accomplished. The enc.
my coalition. seriously endangered b.
our success, has concentrated in q
supreme effort all it's forces on the
Italian front.
THE heroism Of our soldiers and of.
ficers and the sagacity of the com.
mand, thanks to which, in the direc
ton of Leibach, we went so far as tt
| threaten Austria and the Germanit
coalition, are sure token that in new
| glorious enterprises the Italian arm!
will insure the present and future
safety of the country and bring abou
the triumph of the great ideals fol
which it fights, together with thu
whole civilized world.

the people have greeted our heroi
King with great reclamation. Tn
political parties of every shade hav
shaken hands, forgetting ALI their diff

Both country and army have tn
firm and unanimous will to fight an

FOOD CONTROL AND MINIMUM PRICES

Those farmers, remarkably few III number, who
have looked upon the food production campaign
with di>tavor and have been wondering what they
could sell their products for after they raise them
now see if they keep informed to the
concentrations of the national administration and
with pending legislation. that government control
of the food situation is imminent and assured and
that SO far as the farmer is concerned it means
guaranteeing to him minimum price at which
the government assures him he will be able to sell
his crops. The price may be higher than that, but
not lower
SO the farmer bids fair to be the most favored
of any of the country s producers of commodities
which essential to this day and age. For the
authority the administration asks will not only
enable the government to fix the price he will re-
ceive for hls products, but also the prices of the
things he uses to grow those products. 1t will
likewise facilitate the process of distribution,
abolishing the old costly, wasteful roundabout
method of the present and will aim to bring the
producer and consumer more closely together. So
that at the end of the war the status of the farmer
should be considerably better than it was before
the government stepped in and Strengthened out
his business--and he should never let it get back
into the old rut again.
