IAUDS TTALY's PART IN WAR.

Philadelphia, July 10-William Pot ter, former Ambassador to Italy and now Federal Food Administrator for Pennsylvania says it is time to give the Italian nation credit for the great part she has played in the war.
 Lust consider" said MT. Potter, What might have been the fate of the Allies had Italy, with her army and navy, gone with the Central Powers. France, at the outbreak of the war, would have had to divide her army to protect her Italian from tier.
 "The small, but brave little British army would have been powerless to assist France both on the western and Italian fronts. Italy remained neu- tral until her weakened army was strengthened, cast her lot with the Allies, and helped to hold the Huns until America came into the war.
 Let the American people. show their gratitude to Italy by placing everywhere the Italian flag among the Old Glory. Union Jack, the Tri- Color of France and the bag of brave little Belgium

SINN FEINERS
 NOW ON PARADE AT ALL FUNERALS

Dublin July 1o.-Now that all pro- sessions and outdoor meetings have been banned in Dublin, the Sim Fein- CTS have taken to parades at funerals, to which it is obviously difficult and undesirable to apply the prohibition. Sunday is a great day for funerals in all parts of Ireland, and scores of long and picturesque funeral process s.ons may be seen every Sabbath ma king their way through the Dublin, streets, some of them consisting of fif- ty or more vehicles of all kinds, prin- cipally jaunting cars each containing five or six friends of the deceased. A great display was made by the Sim Feiners at the funeral of James Francis Cullen, young man who took part in the 1916 rebellion.
 Cullen was sentenced by court mar tiaI to ten years penal servitude, sub- sequently commuted to five years, for an active if minor part in the rebel lion, and he was released from Lewes Jail under the general amnesty in May last year. He died from natural caus- es. His funeral. procession included nearly 5000 members of the Sim Fein Volunteers, who followed him to his grave in the Fenian Circle in Glasnev- in.
 The procession through the streets drew large crowds of sympathizers. It was wisely ignored by the military and the police. The Sim Fein paraders, with equal wisdom, refrained from pressing any direct challenge, such as marked the funeral of Thomas Ashe last year when firing party, follow- ing military usage, carried reversed rifles.
 In Cullen's funeral procession no arms were seen, and it was not until the rites had been completed at the grave side that a small party produced revolvers and fired a military salute, The crowd dispersed quietly and an event which had given rise to some apprehensions passed off with orderli- ness.

WILSON'S POLICY FOR AIDING SSLAAvvS AVS
 STILL UNIFORMED
Government Feels No Mill tary Strength Should Be
 Taken From France.

Washington, July 10-The govern ment regards the situation in Russia as so rapidly and constantly chang ing as to make 1t impossible to come, as yet, to any decision as to what n1ii- itary aid may be extended by the United States. This was stated au- thoritfvely today.
 All of the plans so far submitted. which involve military action, the United States government feels, in- volve at the same time weakening of the western front. It is the de- cision of the government that noth- ing must be permitted to detract from the military strength in France and Belgium.
 The project for extending economic aid, it was said, is going forward fa- vorably. While the situation sur rounding the question of military ac- tion continues to be so kaleidoscope, 1t was said, no announcement of pol icy is possible.

RELIGIOUS FEELING
 GROWS IN JAPAN

Osaka, Japan. July 1o.-Taking ex- ception to the talk of degeneration of the present day Japanese, the Asahi points to the remarkable increase of religious feeling. It says that the two most popular temples in Japan one in the East and the other in the West, attract millions of pilgrims ev- cry year. One Is the Fudo Buddhist temple at Narita, and the other the Kompira Shinto shrine in Shikolu. The latter has a number of replicas or detached temples in Tokio.
 It is said that the annual number of pilgrims to Kompira is more than three million but this years number is unprecedented. The number of pill grims during April is reported to have reached close upon two million and if visitors arrive at this rate the num- Der for the year will reach tremen- dous figure. The people of the little vest.

According to a Times dispatch from Tokio quoting the V1adivostok correspondent of the Asahi the new government intends to summon a constituent assembly and to restore law and order throughout the coun- try. /
 The program of the new govern ment includes the liberation of. Si- beria from the Bolsheviki; the avoid- ance, if possible, of foreign interven- tion; general suffrage; establishment of provincial councils and a labor bureau; distribution of the land among the landless and control of economic activities.
 Siberia will thus, adds the corre- spondent of the Times, become the first democratic state in the history of Russia, and, it is hoped, be the forerunner of a Great Russia.
 The flag adopted by the new gov- ernment consists of two stripes Of white and green.
 The counter rebellion assisted by the Czeoho -Slovaks is spreading all over western Siberia says a Peking dispatch to the Times, dated July 4, The Bolsheviki are driven westward from Irkutsk, and many are trying to escape into Mongolia
 Referring to the Czecho- -Slovak movement as 8 basis for the strug- gle against Bolshevikism in Siberia, the correspondent predicts that it will lead to the elimination of the Bolsheviki in a short time.

WOOD SHIPS TO HELP RAILROADS

Washington, July 10-Wooden ships, as fast as they can be turned out by the Shipping Board and sup piled with engines and boilers, are to be placed in the coastwise trade to relieve the railroads. Negotia- tions are now under way between the Railroad Administration and the Shipping Board for the hauling of coal and cotton and other bulk com modities, leaving the railroads to ar range their hauling according. By winter time it is expected that not less than 200 wooden ships will be engaged in the coast trade, and the relief to the railroads will be propor- tionate.
 It is also probable that, if decision is reached to help Russia economical. ly, there will be a considerable in- crease in the use of wooden ships on the Pacific, where they can be pro- duced rapidly and used in safety. The problem in connection with an aug mentation of the wooden-ship fleet is principally one of engines and boil CTS. Within a short time this prob lem will be solved for production at the present rate, but it will not be solved for the increase in ship launch ings, which is expected to come from new ways and increased efficiency. Wooden-ship builders are now confi- dent that they can turn out wooden hulls at the rate of one every three months, instead of one every six months, as originally scheduled. On top of this are the immense possibili- ties involved in concrete ship produc- tion, in which the question of propul- sion is still further complicated be- cause of the rapidity of construction
 In any event, should relief for Rus sia be decided upon on a large scale the shipping will come largely from wooden ships built in the United States and from Japan which, with the exception of 150,000 tons of steel ships turned over to the United States In return for fabricating steel, has its merchant fleet at the service of the Allies in the Pacific.
 Until Russian railways are better able to car for the sea commerce however, and to move the mass ot material already assembled at Kola Archangel and Vladivostok, the ship ping demands on the Picific will, it is l believed, not be too heavy to meet. Already the programme of the Shipping Board has advanced fal enough to permit a departure from | the emergency nature of the demand upon 1t and to advance into the field
 of construction for permanent com. | merce. Within a year, ships of 12- | 900 tons burden, designed for ser
 vice as transports, but capable o1 1 being transferred into the foreigr
 passenger carrying traffic, will begin | to slide down the ways. All told
 nearly 100 of these great vessels art
 to be constructed for the permanen
 after the-war trade.

WOMEN NEEDED TO DO MENDING
 FOR SOLDIERS

New York, July 10-Mending for scale yesterday at Red Cross Auxiliary No. 229 F'ifty-ninth street and Third avenue, upon the arrival of 4,000 ar ticles of soldier apparel from Camp Mills. The doughboys who wore them are now in France fitted out with the new suits that they got at the port of embarkation. The con- servation and reclamation station opened yesterday proposes to repair the cast off clothing and turn it back for use.
 A volunteer force of 100 women was on hand for the initial job, and several children sewed on buttons and helped generally. The women sat at a long table and sewed religiously all day. The mending basket consisted of long shelf that reached the length of the room. It was piled high. Six other stations are soon to be opened and the present station will be known as Reclamation No. 1. Mrs. Henry Ittleson is in charge. Camp Upton had a clothing repair shop, and this is the second.
 Mrs. Henry T. Sake, supervision ot the work, appealed to women gen. orally to volunteer for mending. There are 750,000 garments that need at. tention, she said. we need all the women we can get" Mrs. Sake said '"This is practically an untouched field and women who want to dc war work and are unskilled in othel lines can be utilized here to advan. tage. It is an admirable opportunity for college women who are free dur. ing the vacation and who have nor allied themselves with other organiza' tions.
 Even school children can be used A woman need not be a skilled nee dleworker to do this work. Any one who is accustomed to doing the fam i fly mending is eligible"

CHAPLAINS WITH
 AMERICAN ARMIES ARE PAYING PRICE

Washington, July 10. - Since the price of leadership among fighting men, now as always, is willingness to share equally danger and death, chap laino with American armies are not hesitating to pay 1t.
 Two Of them, Father Dougherty and the Rev. Lyman H. Rollins, were or dered back from France and after days stay in Washington sent to Camp Zachary Taylor, at Louisville, that men of the cloth undergoing a pre- linninary training period there may have the benefit of the experience of those who have preceded them. Lieu tenant Rollins. living up to the re- quirement tha@ chaplains must stay with their charges followed a battal- ion of New England infantry lover the top" a few weeks ago, but came back unscathed. while Father Dougherty, who ranks as a major, served in staff capacity for the ministerial corps
 While only one chaplain, Captain Walton S. Darker of Worcester, Mass, has paid the price in full on June Is and lies now in a grave near a shell crater in the making of which he re- ceived a fatal wound, the quiet accept ance of the soldiers risk is winning for many others of the corps higk standing among their men. Rev. Fred erick H. Banker, brother of the gal lant dead man, and himself a worker for the Young Mems Christian Asso citation, was with him during his las hours.
 At Seicheprey and Cantigny, priesti and ministers who wear the uniform have, unarmed, held their places witl the moving ranks, and will continue tt do so while the present spirit rules.
