whatever side it might come leagued Italy
with the nations fighting for the sacred prin-
ciples and rights which we want completed
with the liberation of our oppressed brothers
from the foreign yoke and with the vindica-
ton of our legitimate safety and existence,
without which no sound peace can be as
sured.
To-day on the battlefelds of France is
being concentrated the brotherhood in arms
of America and Italy. May this concentra-
ton be the happy omen of an even more close
cooperation between the two nations in the
future in the field of progress and civiliza-

a recent Reichstag meeting that the
German expedition to Finland was re-
oured in order to prevent Swedish in
tervention, particularly in the Aland
Islands. A further purpose. he de-
clared, was the necessity of the Great

toward Sweden.
The press of Stockholm warns the
government that it is time to take no.
tce of the possibility that the Russian
danger will be changed to a German
Finnish menace. One editor writes:
"Thc fact that Finland places herself
under German protection is only an
other reason to awaken our attention.
