Confidence Of People
Braced by the Army

No soldier is heartier or, when in
tclligently handled, more tractablc. On
bit of bread and onion and two kind
words he will go anywhere. From the
east end of the Asiago Plateau, $500
feet high, looked down upon Be~sag
liere pickets across the Brenta in the
Italian first line outposts literally dug
into the steep mountain side, clinging
like a swallows nest to the wall just
below the Austrian first line. On the
road l met him smiling and in the
trenches 1 found him singing.
The Italian army to-day has not only
recovered its own morale, but is help
ing to hold up the morale of the peo-
Pie, which ~the food shortage, clerical
opposition to the war and the Ger
man propaganda seek to weaken and
do weaken in many instances. 1t is
an army in evident good humor. It's
confidence in itself has increased, and
its home folks arc being cared for.
The spirits of Italy have been
"bucked up" so to say, and in bracing
this, Italy's vulnerable quarter, the
American Red Cross, through its local
mission, has taken discreet but in
measurably important part. Pretty
much all over the country it has sent
emissarics, clothing and money; has
established camps for the refugees
from the raided sections and work.
rooms for the unemployed, soup kitchens
for the hungry, rolling canteens for SOL
diers on the front line,s and rest houses
for those coming and going. 1t has
gone to the very hearts of the people
and, wisest of all, it has operated
through and with the people them
selves, an arduous and uncongenial
task for the masterful, assertive busi-
ness sAmerican.
The Red Cross gave Italy, as it gave
France, the first tangible evidence of
America being in the war. In France
it was very helpful, but in Italy it
proved life saver.
Among the many who served faith
fully it seems invidious to single out
one for mention, yet Venice gave the
Red Cross anxiety, with its shops, its
docks and it's factories closed by the
Boches' bombing, with country refugees
sitting through and it's own people

War Further
Uniting Italy

This war is making Italy. 1t Is
uniting her and lessening the clerical
and Socalistic influences which have
had her by the throat and it is better
ing the living conditions Of the labor
ing class. 1t is her chance. But with
Italy, as with US all, only the most
extreme endeavor of every waking
hour will secure success, for this will
be won by the most enduring and the
most alert. And if the Allies lose, the
world will be Germany's dog-to come
to heel at the Hun whistle.
Meanwhile Italy needs grain, coal
and moral support above all. To lose
Italy will not cost the Allies the war.
but it will prolong and immensely in
crease the difficulties and the price.

Army Must Not
Be Driven Back

If Italy is driven from the Piave
back to the Brcnta, which is little if
any stronger, or further still to the
Adige, her stamina will be tested to
the very core. Some believe such a re-
verse would put her out. Il do not.
When I contemplate the spirit of the
new Italy, as disclosed in her recovery
on the Piave after the demoralizing
effects of Caporetto; in her industrial
development under such heavy handi
cap, and in her tenacious and winning
conflict with the internal defeat1st in
f1uences by which she is assailed. Y,
refuse to believe that she will quit

have confidence in her because of
these evidences of her spirit and be-
cause her leaders are growing stronger
and are coming to realize more thor
oughly that Italy is fighting for her
national existence, and that this is her
last opportunity-that if she does not
stick she is lost irretrievably. She
could make separate peace only at
the risk of being starved out or fol-
lowing the way that Spain is rapidly
travelling to German vassalage.
General Peppino Garbaldi, a grand
son of the Liberator, who with his
three brothers is the head of the
famous Brigata Alpi, precisely. ex-
pressed the intelligent thought of
Italy to me during the course of a
stirring interview at his headquarters:
"Therc is only one thing now for
US Italians in and out of Italy to do,
and that is to beat Germany so that
we may have our. liberty. Tell nv
! countrymen who are American citizens
to rally around the Stars and Stripes
and tell those who are not citizens to
come to me in Italy"
IT Garibaldi went to America he
could raise full division Of his peo-
| pie, and it is pity that his govern
mcnt does not allow this or grant his
repeated appeal for permission to form
volunteer division in Italy from
among the "Imboscato," which literally
means "the man in the BUSH" hut ia

with an easy job behind the line.
There arc many of these, due to politi-
cal assistance, as in other countries.

PARIS, April 26.--I have told you Of
conditions behind the front in Italy.
Now, what of Italy's army? Will it
stick?
Yes; in my opinion, it will, provided
that Italy be now given in her hour Of
convalescence the moral support and
tokens of confidence she Graves from
her allies, and that she be helped to
obtain supplies of coal, grain and GER
is desperate.
1t was not want of physical courage
in those ignorant soldier peasants on
strike, but a want of that comprehen-
sion which would have given them the
moral backbone to resist the foul in
auences behind the line that cost Italy
last autumn the advance she had so
dearly earned. The army showed it's
truer character through virtue of it's
recuperated strength, of its indomit-
4
River before the arrival of the British
and French relief.
1t is quite another army to-day, re-
organized, and with restored and thor
oughly good morale. The faulty for
nation which put too many men in the
first line at the cost of depth and re-
serves, and which together. with the
insuficiency of heavy guns contributed
to extend the seriousness of the SOL
diers' strike, has been corrected.
Schools Of higher instructions for off,
GERS to keep even with the ever chang
ing military tactics have been opened
by the British and French, who tact
fully include their own officers among
the pupils.
The treatment of the soldiers, which
was formerly modelled on German
methods, has been replaced by the
more enlightened and humanizing
methods of the French and British, who
have shown the Italians that the men
can "be worked laughing" so to say,
end that the best spirit for service
cannot be secured by keeping the SOL
diers eternally in the trenches. The
Fay of the soldiers has been doubled
and is now one lire day, more relief
from the monotonous camp life is be-
ing given through furloughs at home,
which were formerly rare, and the food
is better and more plentiful.

Soldiers Families
Now Well Cared for

Among the soldiers families timely
work is also being done by Italian
national civil assistance, which is hav-
ing, as l can attest, direct and bene-
flcial effect on the men at the front.
the government argues, and rightly,
that as the Italian is greatly attached
to his family the surest way to keen
him content is to care for his home
folks. Putting that pertinent theory
into practice, it is devoting 25O,O00
lire a month to the welfare of the
soldiers womenkind.
For example, a factory has been
started in Rome on a government con.
tract for army clothing in which 500
women are employed inside and 1900
are occupied at home--every one a
mother, wife or sister of soldier.
All profits are distributed through in
creased wages, the expert girls being
able to earn as high as eleven lire a
day, which is much, considering that
the average wage is about four lire.
AS for the upkeep of the soup kitchens.
thirty in Rome alone are serving thirty
to forty thousand persons daily. Other
means of caring for the people in
clude several institutions for weak and
ailing children, supplies to cheap
restaurants, and free milk and free
medicines to the children of soldiers.

Americans Would
Stifen Morale

There is ample reason, therefore.
that the man in the trenches is in
good humor, for the family of no SOL
oler fails to receive more thought
or care than he himself could give
them, so far as the means at the dis
posal Of the government permit.
The soldier on the line can be de-
pended on, l feel sure. A portion of
the men, which represents the progress
sive and forceful element, is patriotic
and aggressively warlike. But another
portion, the smallest, but the most un-
tiring, contains Socialists and de-
1eatists, who incite surrender.

comprises 700 grammes of bread, $50

and cup of wine. The best bread l
have eaten in any war zone came from
an Italian army bakery and was made
of Is per cent of wheat, Is Of rice and
10 of corn -four. These improvements
have had their natural effect upon the
men, whose responses to the new
atmosphere of approximated geniality
and increased liberty and food are
sufficient to impress the Italian Off
GERS with the happy upbuilding in
fuence of the changes.
In all the important departments of
support to the lines the army organi-
zation is excellent. The hospitals,
many of them large villas, are clean,
airy and fairly we'll equipped and pro-
vided with attendants and supplies.
The transportation system is the most
varied of that of any of the Allies, and
is ample with motor lorries, pack
trains and teleferics. The horses are
pretty good lot, small but we'll con-
ditioned, and the roads are the best
in the world and are kept so by a
host Of stalwart young women, youths
and old men. There is labor seemingly
without limit, and no supply system
could be more complete and more
fluid.
Substantially the new army is an
army in excellent spirits, physically
clean and practically free from ven
creal disease. At it's head now is Cen
eral Armando Diaz, man with de-
cision and character, young enough to
be active, human enough to have a
twinkle in his eye, and undemonstra-
tive, serene and an experienced officer
OF whom the King, man of shrewd
judgment, thinks highly.

New Leader
Resolute Character

The formerly wavering government
has now settled to the conviction that
the war must be won, and that Italy
must do her share. For this the new
policy of the Foreign Minister, Sydney
Sonnino, is no doubt largely answer
able. He is an eminent man, cultured
and upright, strong and rigid, and with
no following in Parliament such as he
should have, because of his austerity
and single outlook. But he is inflex-
ible in his determination to fight the
war through to finish, and is there
tore an invaluable anchor in a country
where too many little sails are flap
ping in the flighty wings of politics.
Premier Orlando, an excellent speak
er, but not a forceful character, has
shown neither the initiative nor the
energy required in this hour of Italy's
trial, when a definite, strong policy
and vigorous prosecution of the war is
needed. Francesca Nitti, the Minister
Of Finance, is the personification of
energy. He knows what he wants, and
just now he is giving evidence of
knowing what Italy wants, and he goes
after it. He is strong, clever, and
much of politician, with q following
in several of 1taly's multiple varieties
of political currents.
Both he and Orlando originally came
in under Giolitti, and because of that
association and their earlier lukewarm
ness toward the war entire confidence
was felt in neither. But it is believed
now that they have outlived the Gio-
lotti taint, and that each is too am
oltlous on his own account and too
far advanced in his career ever again
to do another's bidding. Both are sim
cerely, and Nitti is energetically, de-
voting themselves to defeating Ger
many. The feeling in Italy is that
Nitti will be the next Premier; GER
tainly he would have policy and
would push it.
zupelli, the new War Minister, is
we'll thought of as a man and an Off
Ger, but whether he has energy, which
this OF all departments needs most, re-
mains to be seen. Italy has mo
Clemenceau nor Lloyd George nor
T. R. in public life to fire the people
with eloquent war talk. Ntti made q
strong campaign for the recent loan
and Bissolati has given ratriotic ad-
dresses, but there is not enough of
such inspiration. Italy needs drive.
She needs 'D'Annunzio to inflame her.

out of his aeroplane and put him on
