Director Italian Bureau Of Public
Information.
The blood and treasure of Italy were
freely spent in the successful effort to
put AUSTRIA Hungary out of the war.
While Italy's efforts were not confined
to the Austrian front, her contribution
to allied success was greater here than
In the other places where her troops
fought the battle for civilization. Her
financial and industrial efforts have
been equal to her military effort. and
in all these directions Italy has not
Jagged behind her allies. That the
nature and extent of these efforts may
be better understood by the American
public, l wish to review them briefly.
In considering ltaly's military con-
tributions, let me emphasize the fact
that her soldiers have not confined their
fighting to their own soil. Like those
of her allies, they have gone far atield
They contributed largely to the glori-
GUS victory on the Balkan front. A

powerful aid in the defense of Rheims,
then took part in the advance of the
allied forces.
Italy Had $500, 900 Under Arms.
/ Since the beginning of the war Italy
has called to the colors little less than
5,50O,OOO men and has suffered a loss
of almost 100000 of them Of that loss
nearly 100000 died in battle, and 1OO,-
600 from disease. Over $4,000 are
totally incapacitated, either by blind
ness, loss of limb or tuberculosis. At
the present moment the strength Of
the italian army is 4,O25,OOO, including
the class of men born in 1900, who
have been called to the cOlors recent
IJy. 1t may be said, then, that the ma
"ffion's man-power has suffered a per-
!. ananent loss Of nearly million.
But, serious as is this loss. Italy has
:: Inflicted an even greater punishment
upon the foe In Austrian prisoners
alone she has taken approximately a
million. The Austrian loss in killed
and wounded is, of course, unknown
to US, but even the most conservative
estimates make it far greater than
ours In the June offensive on the
Piave alone over 100000 Austrian dead
were left on the field.
Fighting Under Extreme Difficulties.
Aside from their achievements in
Other theatres of the war, 1taly's SOL
diers have fought through fifteen fu-
rious offensives on the lsonZo and the
Piave, inflicting terrible losses on the
foe in each. These campaigns were
carried on in mountainous regions and
under rigorous weather conditions that
taxed to the utmost the genius of the
military engineers and the endurance
of the troops. The foe. when hostili.
ties opened, were entrenched in care

THRIFT STAMPS.


Young America" can have a
big part in winning this war.
All children have their sayings
banks, and the Government is
asking them to take the small
change out of their banks and
buy thrift stamps. and then war
savings certificates. The Vir-
ginia Council of Defense has
just received the following let
ter, which is addressed by Sec
rotary McAdoo to the children

Nations have their childhood
and their days of hard lessons
just as children do. One hum

the first American Army march

younger among nations than you
are among your fathers, your
mothers and their friends. Our
Army had drummer boys in
those days, real boys of 10 and
II who marched as bravely and
as proudly into cannon fire as
their great chief, General Wash
ington, himself. Our Nation
had little girls, who laughed
and cheered and loaded muskets
for their fathers, who fired

Try Making Your OaUT1
 Cough Remedy Yo1 can save about S2, and have 0 better remedy than the ready
 made kind. Easily done.
TI5S75557S2EE51E-

If you combined the curative proper ties of every known "ready-made" cough remedy, you would hardly have in them all the curative power that lies in this simple homemade" cough syrup which takes only few minutes to prepare.
 Get from any druggist 215 ounces of pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup. The total cost is about 65 cents and gives you 8 full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready made for $2.50. Tastes pleasant and never spells.
 This Pinex and sugar syrup prepara- tion gets right at the cause of a cough and gives almost immediate relief. It loosens the phleen, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irri- tated membranes that line the throat. chest and bronchial tubes, so gently and easily that it is really astonishing.
 A days use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, croup, whooping cough and bronchial asthma, there is nothing better.
 Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, and has been used for generations to break up severe coughs.
 To avoid disappointment, be sure to ask your druggist for "21h ounces of Pinex" with full directions, and don't accept anything else. A guarantee of absolute satisfaction or money prompt y refunded, goes with this preuaration The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

NEW PROPAGANDA
 IN GERMANY TO PERSECUTE JEWS

Stockholm, May 14,-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press): A new anti-Semitic campaign has begun in Germany, announces the German As sociation for Combating of Anti-Sem- ition, which has issued an appeal for support in opposing this new propa- ganda against Jews.
 "All indications point to the fact that this anti-Semitic movement will be carried on in more extensive form after the end of the war;" asserted the German association. Extensive preparations have been made there fore and pecuniary resources have been assembled
 The appeal defends the Jews against charges of usury and profteering during the war, and declares that the anti-Semitics 'desire to use hatred for Jews as a means of upholding the strongly threatened and unjustified privileges of a small caste against the inevitable new orientation of Ger many's internal conditions
 The April number of the German magazine "Deutschlands Erneuerung" contains an article by pr. Erich Kuhn in which, after discussing the cam paign to obtain a modern electoral franchise in Prussia, he declares that if the electoral reform be forced upon the state, 'it should be provided that only Germans by blood-not merely citizenship-shall be eligible for cleo ton. It must be also be so ordered that only pure-blooded Germans of certain standard of education shall be permitted to occupy responsible posts in the press. Finally it must be so arranged that in all our schools and universities the spirit of German nationalism shall be taught only by persons of national dependableness."
 The publishers of ''Deutschlands Erneuerung' include the conservative university professor con Buelow, Pres ident Class of the Pan-German Ali ance and Professor Dietrich Schafer,
 There is no doubt here that the As sociation for the Combating of Anti Semitism correctly apprasies the sit uation when it declares that a strang anti-Semitic campaign can be expec- ted in Germany after the war. The in dications are regarded as unmistak- able.
