NURING the last fifty years Italy has
transformed herself from a conglom
crate of small states which for CEN
turies had been tyrannized by foreign mas
ters into modern and progressive nation.
To-day in spirit she is democracy, her
constitution, her educational system, her la
Dor legislation advancing in the direction Of
the most enlightened. She has stood the
test of war through the shock of defeat
and of foreign invasion, and with her own
forces achieved victory for herself and for
the world of free against a powerful
and autocratic empire.
BY assuming and performing a task great
than she was believed capable of, Italy
has proved her right to the political recog-
milton she Graves and the confidence sne
asks and has earned.

Our Interpreter

Destiny has placed Italy in a position
where more naturally, more handiy, more
sympathetically than another she may serve
as interpreter Of Western democracy to the
sons of the new freedom in Eastern Europe,
and especially to the Balkan peoples, with
whom her own sons are so closely ldentl-
fed Does the world trust her sufficiently
to recognize this specific duty she is suited
for and ready TO undertake, not in spirit
Of paternalism or imperialism, but in the
new spirit born Of this national soul find
ing war to serve mankind, to help and to
maintain the world safe and free for big and
little nations alike?
Albania is only sixty miles from the
Italian coast across the Adriatic. It is a
country in which the several human ele-
ments are not quite fused into an harmoni-
GUS nationality and whose peaceful, pros
porous development rests largely upon the
help Italy can extend to her-just as the
development Of the Philippine Islands
depends. the unselfish cooperation and
guidance of the United States
Should not the world trust italy enough
to regard her the agent of Western civ
ilization and of practical democracy in the
moral and material development Of Albania,
not as land to be exploited, but as weak
and disorganized small country to be
helped?

 in LibertyLOd Drive
Slow Progress a Matter of Concern to the Treasury Department.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The treasury department today openly admitted that the slow progress of the fourth Liberty loan toward it's six billion dollar goal is a matter of serious con- cern. With the three weeks subscrip- tion period half gone, the loan is only 30 per cent. subscribed. The total re- ported to the treasury up to tonight is $1791, ,463,200.
 There is no use in denying or at- tempting to camoufage the fact that Liberty loan committees throughout the country are confronted with se- rious situation" said the treasury statement reviewing the campaign re- ports. If the loan is to be subscribed, daily average of $467 000,00 must be raised between now and Oct 19.
 "Cognizant of the fact that the loan never can succeed at it's present rate of speed, canvassers throughout the country are stating plainly to all citi- zens that they must buy bonds in larger amounts than heretofore. Veal thy persons particularly must go deep CT into their capital or extend their credit and not depend upon their cur rent income alone to pay for bonds People of moderate and small means must pledge their future earnings in greater degree"
 Double the third" has been adopted as a slogan in many districts to stimu- late subscribers to do twice as muck as they did in the last loan.
