was the excellent Red Cross parade
which wendell its way to the park

sing The parade was headed by e.
l.. MeAlister marshal of the day.
Then came the State College band,
augmented by several town mu5i-

NEW YORK, Nov. Exchanges in
the public educational system OF
Italy, based upon methods in vogue in
the United States, are one of the in
direct possibilities of the war, accord
ing to Countess Maria Loschi, envoy
of the Italian government to the Uni,
ed States, who is obtaining data in
this country regarding betterment leg
islation in Italy for women and chill
, dren.
THE 100000 American soldiers who
went overseas in the first contingents,
l am told, included many boys of Ger
man parentage or extraction. Their
splendid loyalty and brilliant fighting
was the admiration of ALL" said the
Countess. only the principles of
democracy taught in the public schools
OF America could have brought it
| about and that is why l believe Italy
will adopt the American educational
idea.
Teachers in Italy are poorly paid
and overworked. 1t is one of the aims
of the suffragists of Italy to improve
their condition.
THE war has given an impetus to
education in Italy. Every young per
son is more than ever DESTROYS OF
learning new things. In the hospital
Q-34, between Palmanova and Cor
mons, near Gorilla, where l served for
time as a nurse, educated young
women taught illiterate young sol
diers during their convalescence how
to read and write. The government
has supplied the nurses with millions
of primary school textbooks.
1.-THE American Red Cross and the
Young Mems Christian association
have done inestimable good in Italy.
They have dealt bountifully with our
impoverished people in giving them
food, clothing and shoes. l am hope
full they will introduce the idea OF the
American public playground in Italy,
also public baths and dormitories
such as you have here. 1t is for iil-
provements such as these that the
women OF Italy II ever they are en-
franchised, can be depended upon to
secure for the people.
"In Rome we have the Lyceum.
great woman's club, where under the
stimulus OF war needs, hundreds OF
women OF such types as Madames Or
lando and Nitti, the wives, respective
ly of the Premier and the Minister OF
the treasury, gather to discuss music,
charity, art, literature and economics.
Both are suffragists and you may be
sure their famous husbands are too.
Next month in Florence will be held
the big suffrage conference at which
many vital reforms will be discussed.
Premier Orlando at one time was
opposed to suffrage but since the Nsr
he is reported to have said: The war
has revealed that the women of Italy
deserve the trust and friendship of
men, Furthermore, the premier de-
clared that the conscience of Italian
women is so near to the National con-
science, they should have the same
political rights as men, This is al
most a warranty that in future our
women will be protected and helped
and many bills are being drafted for
presentation to the Chamber OF Dep
uties.

Keep Your Liberty Bonds

The Treasury Department has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
There is every indication that Liberty Loan
bonds, issued during the war, will greatly rise in
value with the establishment of peace. In 1888
a 500 United States bond, bearing per cent in
it brought more than $139. The most conserva-
tive will agree that Liberty bonds are sure to go
above par in value, now that the Allies have
brought the war to victorious end
'The shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS, the birds of
prey in finance, realize the worth of Liberty
bonds, and are using every effort to secure them
from those who are uniformed in financial mat
tiers. Their favorite method is to offer stock in
wildcat companies-stock that is absolutely val
ueless-in exchange for Liberty bonds Some of
these get-rich-quick schemers offer to lend their
prospective victims money. wherewith to buy the
goldbrick stock taking Liberty bonds secur
ity. This, of course, is only thinly disguised at
tempt to obtain Liberty bonds for worthless
stock.
"The United States owns some 100000 acres
of oil lands and $4,000 acres of coal lands,
the title to which belongs to the Federal Govern
ment. Since all owners of Liberty bonds are part
owners of this Government, it would be palpably
foolish of them to exchange their Liberty bonds
for oil or coal stocks of doubtful value.
Before disposing of his bonds, the holder
thereof would do well to consult banker. Such
consultation will not prosper the fake stock con-
Germs, but it certainly will prosper the bond
holder"
