ITALY AND AMERICA
MADE ONE BY WAR
Correspondents Touring U. 8.
Hear Addresses at Luncheon
in Their Honor.

The bonds OF friendship already ex-
listing between the United States and
Italy are being strengthened and made
more sacred by the baptism OF blood so
la vishly shed on the battlefelds by the
sons OF America fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the Italian soldiers on
italian soil" says DR.. Antonio Stella,

lea

heroic people OF Italy. who for three
years have borne tine heaviest sacrifices
with tho greatest courage, who have in
f1icted the greatest defeat on Austria
and who are fighting for the same pur-
pose and interests as the United States
We want the gentlemen present
above all to tell our countrymen across
tho water OF the absolutely unselfleh
Aims OF the United States In entering the
war. We want them to explain the cree
stive power and marvellous organization
which In a short time has here created
great army, the bulk OF which II has
been possible to send across the water
almost without any appreciable loss,
we must not forget that Italy has
about 5000 men on the Macedonian
front and a great many on the French
front. Recently at Rheims they had the
honor to share with the American and
British soldiers the victory won over the
enemy. Before that, June %. on the

selves with glory in repulsng a strong
enemy attack. They were led on this oc-
casion by the gallant Gen. Garibaldi,
who was promoted to the. rank OF Briga-

COURIER JOURNAL
GOES TO BINGHAM
Louisville "Times" Also Passes
to New Owner From Hands
of Founders.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Aug. 6.-Control OF
the Louisville Courer-JotrnoI and the
Louisville Times, held by w. N Halde-
man and his sons and Henry watterson
since the foundation Of the two papers.
passed to-day into the hands Of former
Judge Robert Worth Bingham OF Louis
vile.
Henry watterson ends his active con-
nection as editor OF the Courier-Jorrr
but will continue to serve in an advisory
capacity.
Judge Bingham is a we'll known
Louisville lawyer, once mayor OF the
city and later judge OF the Common
Pleas division OF the Jefferson Circuit
Court.
Jurge Bingham inherited $4,000. 900
from the estate of his wife. who was
the widow Of Henry NJ. Flagler.
The reason given in the announce
ment for the transfer Of control Of the
two papers Is that the advancing age of
the former owners made It seem de-
sirable. Robert E. Hughes. business
manager OF the two papers, and Arthur
B. Krock, editorial manager, will con-
tinue to serve In the same capacities.
Henry Watterson says in his ANAL
editorial:
ut may not be deemed overweening
vanity II he takes some pride in the
circumstance that he has served at the
head OF q leading daily newspaper longer
by many years than any other person
connected with the American press in
the larger cities of the United States.

York Herald in 1885 and died in 1872.

cons olidation with the Courier, creating
the Courier-JonrndI That was fifty
years ago Time, as Artemus Ward OBJ
served, passes-has a way of passing.
1T seems but a dash of a mile be-
tween the great war of sections in Amer
lea and the contemporary war OF the uni
verse in Europe, yet the interim has wit
messed the rise and fall OF empires. the
glory and the shame of peoples, the
wrecks of matter and the crush OF
worlds marking an age as changeful
and vital as any that preceded II. And
now we stand upon the border line of a
new world. What may 1t portend? Who
shall saw The world war will leave
none of US where We were. Its drums
and tramplings have already made start
ling changes
"who could have forecast an alliance
between England. France. Italy and the
United States against Germany? When
| shall 1t end? II can only end with the
overthrow of Kaiserism. Nothing short
| of a holocaust for Potsdam will suf-
| fee. Now. and ever. to hell with au-
! tocracy. Now and ever. to hell with the
Hohenzollern and the Hapsburg."
