Beg for Chance at Foe

The American ambulances tore
over the shell-torn roads and ap-
proached to within a short distance
Of the front line. Numbers Of men
in the rear positions begged their
commanders to be sent up to assist
the infantrymen bearing the brunt
of the attack. The men Of all SER
vices were eager for an opportunity
to fight the enemy in the open.
The resistance offered by the
Americans was surprise to the en-
emy, who seemed to expect to break
through with little difficulty. {.
All the Americans moving to the
front were in the highest spirits and
waved their caps to the cheering
villagers.

nARlS, April 19.-In this anxious
hour. when the magnificent
Boche-killing defence of the
French and British on the West front
bids US with high hope cling steadfast-
ly to confidence in the outcome, we
must not lose sight of our very i'm
portant sand none too secure South
front and of our other ally, Italy, who
also has done some heroic fighting and
whose tortuous mountain line will be
next to feel the Hun weight.
In America we do not. realize what
Italy has already accomplished in this
war or understand her problems. To
qualify toward presenting these intelli-
gibly l have just completed on the
ground an extended study of the indus
trial, political and military centres. 1
have made trip over the front and
reserve lines from Venice to Lake
Garda, including the Piave. Brenta and
Adige rivers. 1t was most interest
ing and enlightening experience and
one which could have been taken with
profit long ago by a sagacious officer
of the Allied intelligence department.
Italy Cinderella
OF Allied Family
Candidly, Italy has been somewhat
rd r~
without fairy godmothcr for her re.
lief. Her appeals, her suggestions,
her urgent, patent needs, have long
been disregarded. Early in the war
she advocated cooperation for the vital
and then comparatively easy thrust at
Austria through Laibach-the open
road to Vienna recognized by Napo-
leon.
She likewise urged that the com
Sined aeroplane fleets Of the Allies
bomb the harbor enveloped Austrian
navy as the least costly and only di-
rect means of attacking enemy ships,
destroying the submarine and mine
base and opening the Adriatic to the
Allied descent on Trieste and freeing
the Mediterranean of the U-boat men,
ace.
Without avail Italy pleaded for the
heavy guns with which her foe was
amply supplied and which she needed
so sorely. And when the Caporeto dis
aster came, on October "a. it was part
ly for the wan. of such guns. partly
owing to the weakening influence Of
the Pope's fresh peace note, which to
simple minds seemed in accord with
the sentiments shrewdly and widely
circulated by German proparandists.
and partly to the lack of patriotism Of
some Of the political leaders and the
lack of energy of others which robbed
Italy OF the unity necessary to vigor-
Gus war-making.

that there natural '<inshp' between German

terested in the argument that Germany may yet be-
OF the leading nations for the preservation
Of the Of the world and when that halcyon
time shall be to speak to Ger

The main point that from experience we do not
want any Germans around speaking language that
English listening people readily understand
without the trouble Of special for the pur

maintair the peace of the world she can do it just
splendijly. and better maintain the confidence Of
mankind, 10y doing it with English tongue. Anyhow
that is the way "a lot of people about it for the
present.
In short. the American people cultured and uncul-

language this country teaching o. it TO the

enough o Germany, therefore enough Of German.
They want no unnecessary reminders of German

facilities given for the further spread of nsdious
propaganda. They satisfied that hereafter

and they do business with any German
who cannot 9r,wil not speak The chances are that
