STANDING BY ITALY.

1t is not likely that American fighting
men in any considerable numbers have
arrived on the Italian front, but the ar
rival of contingent of them is an ear.
nest to the people and the government Of
Italy that the United States intends to
stand by them just as much as by the
people and the governments Of Great
Britain, France and the other allies The
force which first reached France last
year was not large and 1t remained with.
out acquisitions for some time, yet now
the American forces in France number
well over million men. So it may be
expected that as the reservoir of Amer
lean manpower is tapped the material
support which the United States gives
to Italy win be largely increased, or in
creased to such an extent as the troops
can be utilized on the comparatively mar
row front lying between Italy and our
enemies.
The presence Of these American troops
win undoubtedly 60 far toward strength
ening the morale OF the Italian army
and people, as indeed the presence Of
British and French troops did during the
height of the great Teutonic rush down
the mountain slopes north Of the Piave
last fall. Moreover, forerunners OF
American cooperation with Italy have
long been in that country in the form Of
American Red Cross and other organ
izations and they have done a fine work
in solidifying the defense of the Italians
and acquainting them with the fact that
the western front extends from the
North sea to the Adriatic Italy will
not be deserted during the remainder Of
the war

She Teaches Sailors How TO Cook

The August American Magazine con
tains the story of woman who gave up
a $4,000 job to teach the sailors how to
cook
Glasses, averaging about hundred
men, are kept from seven to nine weeks
and thoroughly drilled in both the theory
and practice of cookery. The students
live in tents summer and winter, and are
put through Is minutes of brisk calls
themes every morning before breakfast.
Each man must do everything for him
self, even to washing his own white duck
suit As a result of the selfm made meals
and training, not one case of illness has
been reported, except that one man was
stricken with a cold after severe expos
ure. Mrs. Wilson urges the students to
mingle play with work, and they have de-
yeloped lively class spirit, school yells,
and a Jazz band Of l6 pieces.
" The cook is more important than the
captain is her variation Of the phrase,
An army crawls on its stomach Every
man in this school can compare favor
ably with the best hotel chef in the city,
she adds, and Mrs, Wilson knows about
institutional chefs"

The Submarine Losses.

The British admiralty's announcement
that the Justicia was sunk while being
conveyed, by destroyers and patrol craft,
was probably made to silence criticism IN
England of the same bearing as that pub
lished in the news columns of American
papers, 1t was asserted, on the author
ity of men connected with shipping in
terests, that the big liner had been lost
because, like other westbound vessels that
have met disaster, she was making the
voyage unattended. The British admiral
TVS announcement disposes of criticism
Of chis sort, at least 40 far as the JUS
ticia is concerned Tn fact, the Associate
ed Press account of the sinking indicated
that there had been battle, and the in
ference was that warships whose duty It
was to protect the liner had been en-
gagged,
There will remain strong impression,
however, that troop ships returning to
America are not protected so well as the
same ships are on the eastward passage.
One may draw an inference to that ef-
feet from the fact that so many fine
transports within few months have
been torpedoed and sunk while coming
west. Among them have been the Anda-
MIA, the President Lincoln, the Covington
and now the Justieia--all splendid liners
of large tonnage. Two or three smaller
steamships have been sunk in the same
way.
It is not to be supposed that the Ger
mans would not sink these troopships
when loaded with American soldiers on
their voyage to France, If they could get
at them The Justicia was good for
about 10000 soldiers a month in the
transport service, and any U-boat com
mandef would have considered it glo-
rious exploit to sink the loaded ship with
all on board In getting the empty craft
on the westward trip, the U-boats do
the next best thing; and we have to adj
NIT that the next best thing is no Joke.
On the same day that the loss Of the
Justicia was announced the British gov
eminent published an encouraging report
of allied ship tonnage losses in June. We
can take genuine satisfaction, because
the June losses for the allied nations
were the lowest for any month since
September, 1915, and the losses for the
quarter ended June 30 made the lowest
record since the third quarter of 1916.

Faithful Italy.

Germany's attempt to corrupt Italy
with gifts at Austria's expense have been
continuous. At the outset of the war,
Berlin wss astonished at Italy's repudia-
ton of the triple alliance. Berlin had
not imagined that Italy would refuse to
do her bidding But when Berlin, rubbing
her eyes, had learned that 1t was really
true, and had realized what an attack
upon the central empires from the south
meant, she went to work in the usual
method of Prussian diplomatic bribery to
buy Italy getaways, of course, at Aus
trials cost. Italy refused to be bribed;
but certain Italians, demagogic explorers
OF anarchistic sentiment, were bribed, and
Caporetto was the result. After Caporet-
to, Berlin tried again with the states
men, and failed once more. Later still,
and just before the Austrian drive
against which the soldiers Of Italy, Of
Britain and France are struggling the
same old attempt was repeated. We do
not know what propositions were made.
| Very likely the Trentino was once more
dangled before Rome's eyes, and some
| form Of partial group autonomy for the
Italian populations OF Trieste and the
Adriatic shore. The details of the prop
| osition are not important. What Is real
| " important is the fact that the Italian
government spurned the advances OF Der.
| lin and of Vienna, and that Italy stands
grandly true to the ideal of freedom
which she deliberately chose.

retto drive. The strategic advantage In

become so grave menace to Germany,
however, that the German admiralty
must make its supreme effort to check
the transport of troops and supplies, and
it Is beginning to look decidedly as if
the U-boat offensive against our overseas
communication had been directed espe-
cially at the big troopships on the return
voyage, in the expectation of catching
them inadequately guarded by cruisers
and destroyers. The point has not been
fully cleared up by the British admiral
TVS statement as to the Justieia wheth-
er the naval protection afforded west
ward. bound ships was continued more
than one day out of port. The U-boat
successes in the past few months, which
have cost us half dozen large trans
ports, indicate careful study by the Ger
man admiralty of the best hunting
grounds in the eastern Atlantic. The
general conclusion viii be that the navies
must somehow increase the protection
OF troopships on the return passage If
the recent German record of sinkings is
not to be maintained.-Springfeld Re-

The United States alone is building
about so per cent of the ships which are
being destroyed by the German subna-
rines If the other allied countries aren't
able to manufacture the other 20 per
cent to make up the balance they are not
so alert as they are given credit for be-
ing, AS a matter of fact, they ought to
be rebuilding a percentage far greater

Accidents Of War.

No apology would seem to be needed
for the mistake made by the captain Of
an armed merchantmen when he fired
upon a United States submarine off the
American coast on Tuesday last Under
the circumstances, the navy department
could well afford TO commend him for his
vigilance. His one thought was to pro-
tect his ship and the lives entrusted to
his care. The same thing has happened
recently In European waters, and the
British, French and Italian navies, even
where loss of life has occurred, for the
most part treated such mistakes as acct
dents that could not well be avoided
Unfortunately, however, as we believe
unfairly, in the case Of the commander
of the U. S. s. Nahma, who fred on sew
eral Italian submarines which failed to
give the proper signal, the navy depart
ment declined last year to follow the rec
ommendation Of the court and exercise
clemency. Lieutenant Commander Ernest
| Friedrich was reduced so numbers in
grade, in the face of an appeal in his
behalf from the Italian minister of ma.
rine, who urged the navy department
not to punish the officer for protecting
his ship against what he supposed to be,
and with good reason, an enemy subma
| rine.
| In view of the experience of the mer-
chant captain, just announced, the navy
| department could well afford to recon.
slider rs decision in the Friedrich case.
That officer should have every number
remitted, not one Of which he deserved to
lose, and certainly it would be inconsist-
ent to allow his punishment to stand and
to acquit the merchant captain. We are
at war, and in appraising errors Of iudg-
ment war standard should be employed.
