ITALIAN WOMEN
PLANNED BIG WORK
Italy's Liberated Womanhood Is Pre-
pairing To Take Part In Re-
building OF Europe.
Associated Press


Maria Loschi of Rome, az the guest of
the United States government is on
six weeks tour of this country to
survey social, educat onal and politi-
cal conditions relating to women and
report to the government of Italy,
declares that "Italy's liberated wom-
anhood is preparing to take big part
in the rebuilding of the devastated
| Northern provinces. 1t is the dawn
of new day." she sa d., in the de-
velopment of our nation"
Grateful for the part the United
States has taken in the war, Count
ess Loschi made public AT the request
of a former Premier of Italy, Luigi
Luzzati, the latter's overseas toast
to America and to Americans del v
cred to her just before she sailed. 1t
follows:
Born in divine heart throb,
They grow greater now IN the throb
of the human heart,
Born to deliver themselves from the
multifarious religious tyrannies
of Europe,
Today they Sc to save Europe from
military tyranny.
+bo n,n,,yaj,,,p lifa
shine Gods liberty, as a crown
of sacrifice and redemption,
At midday they harvest, as an immor-
tai reward, the deliYerance Of op-
pressed Nations"
The Countess is young woman,
dresses IMPLY and speaks, fluently,
English, as we'll as French and Ital-
ian. She is writer on sociological
subjects, teacher of French litera-
ture in college in Rome and, in ad
dition, is on the staff Of technical
school. An ardent suffragist and one
Of five women, representatives Of the
Italian Feminine Patriotic League,
appointed to aid the government auth
orit es in deyising plan for the read
iustment of labor after the war, the
Countess Loschi says, the future is
bright with promise for the women
of Italy more than 100000 Of whom
are at work on farms and in munitlon
plants,
Untlf the war started, she sad, The
status of women in Italy was one Of
complete eclipse by man." She was
not allowed to handle her own money
for instance, without the consent Of
her husband. Women, as such, had
no standing in court except as the
chattel of husband or father.
New laws, said the Countess, were
being drafted which would elevate
Italian womanhood to plane as high
as that enjoyed by the women Of any
other country. The time was coming,
she felt sure, when Italy would have
women legislators and when they
would be allowed, to practice IN the
law courts. The moons .stency of the
present time, she said, was shown in
the case Of Miss Theree Labrgola,
Italy's first woman lawyer and fore
most sutfragist, who, although COM
petent to each Jurisprudence to youths
in law university was barred from
practicing in the courts.
The changed attitude toward wonl-
en- in Italy the Countess attributed in
part to the great response made by
her sex to the appeals Of the gov
ernment for war loans. During the
recent Fourth loan, she said, the worrl-
| men of Milan alone bought more than
| l2,0o0,O00 Ira worth of bonds and
other cities did as well. The govern
ment urged the women to buy indie
pendently of their husbands and, thus,
! Willingly or not, broke one of Italy $
oldest traditions.

An Official statement issued here to-

E.est Litovsk on Monday. saws the
Russian proposals concerning the
.cSions occupied by the central powers
diyerse 20 such degree from the
views OF the central powers that in
their present form they are unaccep;-
able
The Official statement says the Rus
sian peoples do not show compromis
ing attitude, and do not consider tho
opposite parties on a just basis. Never
theless. it adds, the central powers
again are prepared TO give clearly
formulated expression Of their opinions
and to try TO find a basis for com
promise.
For The central powers. as distinct
from the case with Russia. the an
rouacemcnt adds. a conclusion OF peace
with Russia has no connection with
general peace. and tho central powers
are compelled TO continue the war
against their other enemies. The as
sertion that the right of self-d ctc rrni-

not OF parts OF nations is not our con-
ccption of INSTRUMENTATION, the Off

patton are a standard for fixing the
boundaries of such portions.
The Austro-Germans. the statement
declares. do not intend Incorporating
the territories now occupied by them
into their respective countries.
Tie central powers agreed. II is add
cd. that a vote OF the peoples on broad
lines be sanctioned on the basis OF citi-
zenship. but IL was declared that
referendum appeared 20 he impracti-
cable. The central powers think that
vote on a wide basis taken from the
electors and supplemented by a repre-
sentative body would suffice.
Desiring 10 reach an understanding
with Russia, the statement continues.
the central powers MADE the foreEoin.
far-rcach!ns proposals which represent
