les turned over yesterday by the Count

liberty loan committee. presided at the
gathering yesterday. introducing the
italian ambassador and L. S. Lowe. as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury. both

lere, speaking of the exhibit. said:
The objects you see here are evil
dences of Italian bravery on one side
and of Austrian barbarity on the other.
The bombs which fell on Padua and
Venice, slaughtering mostly women,
children and invalids: the iron-spiked
maces which the enemy uses to kill
our wounded soldiers, part of a cap
tured enemy submarine with its COM
plement of mines and guns, are here
assembled to show that neither the
cruelty Of the enemy nor the dangers
of a barbarously conceived war has
caused our men to finch.
Now that the struggle is mightiest
and the danger gravesf we choose our
way once more. Our men are going to
France to fight there for the cause we
know to be just. And since the enemy
refuses to see the justice of it, there is
nothing left for us but to use force.
force and more force. till victory is
ours"
