Considerable activity is in prog
ress in the Italian theater Between
the Asiago and the Brenta river on
the northern front the Italians have
stormed Austrian positions at Col
rel Orso and destroyed the garrison
in hand-tohand fighting. At several
other points along the northern front
the Italians have worsted the enemy
in engagements, evidently started
with the intention of rectifying the
line. The Austrian emperor, accom-
panied by his foreign minister, has
paid visit to the Italian front, after

HERE'S PLEA FROM FRONT
Lillian Gish Says You'd Buy Bonds
if You Saw War
Itself.
BY MISS LILLIAN GISH,
Movie Star Once in War Zone.1

If you had seen the war as I have,
you would buy Liberty bonds.
I have seen a mother standing in the
doorway Of her little home, and in the
room into which she looked were the
mangled bodies of her two babes.
| / have seen between two and three
hundred mothers massed outside a
ging at the Boobies" to let them en-
ter. In the wrecked schoolhouse were
the torn and battered bodies of school
| children. A Hun raider had bombed
them.
In London, ON the Strand, I have
seen row after row of stretchers bear
| ing the broken bodies of men and
women on q street strewn with shat
tered glass. These were civilians, not
soldiers; sleeping in their homes when
the building fell.
These things I have seen. I have
heard all night long a terrific cannon
ade in the worlds greatest city, the
burst of shrapnel and the sound of
bombs. Outside my window I have
heard the cries and means of dying
human beings, victims of the enemy in
| the air.
| This is not talk. These are things
have seen and heard; and yet l have
seen and heard so little it is hardly
| worth talking about.
But it makes me want to buy Lib
erty bonds.
