FALSE SENTIMENT.

The suggestion that the United
States cancel the loans it has made
to the allies as an evidence of its
gratitude, while indicating a worthy
impulse, is scarcely to be taken seri-
ously It is, improbable that the move
ment viii be approved by the govern
ment.
Loans to allies up to this time aggre-
gate about $S,000,00Q0Oo. For some
months to come it will be necessary
for the United States to continue these
advances until the war stricken coun-
tries are able to rehabilitate their
revenues and get upon peace basis
Probably these loans will total $12,.
Ooo,000,000; possibly more.
But accepting $4,000, 900 600 as the
total, 1t means a charge OF approx
mately s120 against every man, woman
and child in the country--a charge
which must eventually be paid in
taxes. To cancel this stupendous
amount and charge it off the books Of
the Treasury would be to impose a
burden upon the people of this coun-
try under which they would struggle
| for generation. 1t is not practicable
and not to. be thought Of. The mag
nanimity of those proposing it is toe
abundant
| Aside from financial considerations,
there is another objection to the idea
which in itself is sufficient. The can
collation. of these great loans would
be tantamount to a confession that
America had not done her full part
in the winning of the war, and was
thus endeavoring to make amends in
cash, confession which in terms
could be wrung from no loyal Amer
lean.
America did her full share in rid
ding the world of autocracy, and il
she had failed to do it the kaiser al

The reconquest of the northeastern

-Fhe victorious advance has put such
fire into the blood of the Italian SOL

restrain them from rushing into dan

The pressure of the Italians on the

the enemy to continue his hurried re-

The road to Udine is in itself bat

poplars along the road has been cut
TO the ground by the Austrians
Bridges have been destroyed and
trenches dug across the road to him
der the Italian advance. Heaps OF
wreckage and the debris of war are
scattered along the road in indescrib-
able confusion. At intervals there
are long lines of carts filled with fur
niture, clothes and other Valuables
which the Austrians had removed
from occupied villages, but which they
had been forced to abandon.
The advancing Italian soldiers are
the same men who last November
fought desperate rear guard action
from the Isonzo line westward until
, they finally stopped the enemy Of
fensive on the Piave. These troops
now have more than thirty-five miles
of liberated land behind them and
