ITALIAN PATRIOTISM
ROUSED THROUGH ART
Statues and Paintings Garry War
Idea to Population.

The artistic nature. as well as the
patriotism of the Italian rural popu-
lation. is appealed to with a wide
spread art propaganda inaugurated
by the committee for the relief of the
mutilated, with headquarters in Milan.
Bronze statuettes, panels, posters
and paintings picturing heroic feats
Of the Italian army and otherwise
bringing home to the rural population
the necessity of carrying on the war
to a successful end are being display
ed in country stores and at the cross
roads. The ruthlessness of the foe
which Italy Is fighting and the i'm
placable hatred OF the Huns for Italy,
who consider that that country was
the main obstacle in the way of their
path toward a decided victory in the
early months of the war, is being for
chilly brought home to the rural popu-
lation by these numerous artistic, ed
ucational exhibits.
The committee also Is publishing a
series Of artistic postcards for circula-
ton among the soldiers. emphasizing
the absolute necessity from the stand
point Of Italian welfare for aiding the
cause Of the allies to the very limit of
Italian power. These postcards are
being distributed to the soldiers in con-
siderable numbers, SO that they can.
in turn, send them to their relatives
and friends, thus reaching the most
remote hooks and corners of Italy
Thus, the propaganda reaches places
that would be missed by speakers and
printed messages. knowledge of the
real causes of the war and the impor-
tance of fighting It through to a vic
torious end is most needed in these
remote rural quarters.
The most famous artists Of italy are
volunteering their services for this
patriotic undertaking.

advices received by the State De-
partment.
One paper says: Scenes may be
expected to follow which will cause
the marrow of Wilson's bones to

The newspaper reports state that
the U-boats are causing great de-
struction to American shipping and
that the forced halt Of the shipment
of American soldiers abroad is the
decisive blow to French hopes for
victory. Another report says:
America is already trembling

Cabinet TALKS u. 5.
TELEGRAPHS, REPORT
Western Union Said to Have Caus-
ed Control Trend.

Government control Of telegraph
lines is understood to have been
brought squarely to an issue at yes
terday's Cabinet meeting.
The basis of the deliberations was
letter from President Newcomb
Carlton, OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. refusing to abide
by the decision OF the War Labor
Board giving operators the right
to organize.
Ten days ago. President Wilson IN
a letter addressed to the officials
of both the Western Union and the
Postal Telegraph urged the ac-
ceptance of the decision for the
period of the war. The Postal Tele-
graph Company. through Clarence
II. Mackay. its president, agreed TO
the proposal.
The reply from President Carlton.
OF the Western Union. is regarded
as a purely technical objection to
the manner in which the War Labor
Board reached its decision. He as
serts that five OF the twelve men,
bers OF the board voted against il
when there should have ben a
unanimous vote to make the de-
cision binding.
President Carlton also charged that,
although the unions had waived the
right to strike during the war period,
they were planning to organize with
sufficient strength to "demoralize dis
cipline" when released from this
promise. AS a counter suggestion. he
urged recognition OF an association
of Western Union employees.
The letter asserted there Is no
danger of a telegraphers' strike and
that the company feels 1t would not
be doing justice TO the public il it
permitted an outside union to inter
fere with its work.
The Carlton letter Is understood to
have materially strengthened senti-
ment in the Cabinet favoring govern
ment control OF all telegraph lines.

''TWO-FISTED"
MEN SEEKING
TANK SERVICE
South and North Give Sons
Who Would Treat
En- Rough"

As a part of the plan to train
quickly and thoroughly two-nsted
lighting men for tank service in
France. Lieutenant Colonel W. H.
Clopton and other oficers. who have
for some time been on duty at the
American tank center in France.
were recently assigned to training
units of the corps on the Gettys-
burg battlefield.
These officers arrived from France
several days ago, and will assume
their duties Immediately. They are
thoroughly equipped for the work
by observation and service abroad.
and as q result of their experience
and efforts, tank units are expected
to be fitted for actual fighting. and
transported in increasing numbers
throughout the summer and fall
months.
From the attention being devoted
to the corps, 1t Is apparent that the
Treat 'em roughs," as tank-dght-
ers are known. are expected to play
a most important part in future
onslaughts upon the Kaiser's fol-
lowers.
Despite the enlistment record
made last week. applicants for ad-
mission to the corps. headQuar-
ters of which will be changed to-
day from the Mills building, Penn

South and North.
Reports from Camp Colt are to
the effect that spectacular progress
Is being made in training work, with
scores Of brawn-blessed volunteers
pouring in from all sections daily.
On this, the field Of the most de-
cisive battle of the war Between
the States" northerners and south
erners, Down Casters" and west
erners. regarding themselves above
everything else as American patri-
OTIS, enter enthusiastically into the
training work that is necessary to
make them capable of the tank and
the death-splitting machine guns
with which they are armed.
We've got the best blood In
America out there at Gettysburg,
leaders in every walk of life being
among the number" said an officer
of the corps. Among these are
sons and grandsons of men who fol-
lowed Pickett in his famous charge.
and of men who opposed them under
the leadership of Meade-and there
are a number whose forebears have
slept the last sleep on that field for
more than fifty years. A day spent
at the camp will convince anyone
that the Mason Dixon line is more
than ever a fgment Of imagination,
and that a reunited country - a
