Nation That Has Yielded Triunph Through Thousand
Years Encouraged by Allies to Take Broader and More

is not the place to discuss theology.
But I am pointing out the supple
ness of Judgment, variously dis

traditions, over much of the New

To multitudes this glowing com

more than the Italian citizenship
which has grown up around the
Papacy, and Italy, as nation, suf-

The international
Church and the Nation

When war broke out the duality
became even more difficult. In
Britain we have Church and State,
in close-some think mistaken-as-
sociation. In America you have the
Free Church in the Free State. But
in Italy you have the rival Church
in the rival State When the nation,
educated in secular schools, was
fighting for it's life the Church re-
mained severely international.
From the days of Garibaldi on
ward British governments and peo-
Dle have always favored Italian
unity. 1t was Gladstone who ex-
posed the horrors OF the Neapolitan
prisons and denounced Austrian
tyranny. We regretted the fact
that Italy, after owing much to
French assistance, was induced or
coerced into joining the Triple Al
lance. But we never believed it
possible that she would fight side
by side with Austria against the

American Red Cross Covers All
Great Britain and Is Conducted by
Women Known on Both Continents
By James Anderson Halves

By James Anderson Halves
THE Great War has certainly
given the opportunity of his
tory for women to show what
they can do in public affairs and no
one to-day will question but that
they have made good" in their con-
tribution to the cause of their
country.
American women have for long
been known abroad as attractive,
capable and remarkable for the abil-
lty to adapt themselves to changed
conditions, The number Of AmerI-
can women who have married titles
and men Of prominence generally in
England and on the Continent is
noteworthy and the part that some
have played in the political life Of
England has been greater than is
generally realized in their own
homes. However, it has not been
until war times that American wom-
en- have impressed themselves on the
average Englishman as remarkable
Tor devotion in public matters and
IN personal work. L is therefore Of
real interest for Americans to real
ize the part their own country

charities and giving help in the war.

are doing more specifically for their

Overshadowed
BY Her Ancestors

In one or two respects Italy is
quite unlike other countries. She
is overshadowed, as it were, by her
ancestors. Americans who visit
England think much more of
Shakespeare's country than they
do of the humdrum dwellings of
modern men and women. 1t must
be so. And when we think of Italy
the names which greet our minds
are Rome, Siena, Pisa, Ravenna,
Venice, Florence - particularly
Rome. This mistress of civiliza-
ton stands for three ideas, first,
the conception Of law-Roman law
which we are defending against
Germany; secondly, the Church,
and, thirdly, the Italian monarchy
and nation. Of these three ideas
obviously the third is the latest,
and, therefore, the least familiar.
To countless millions Rome sug-
gests a Pope and not a king. St.
Peters and the Vatican, with the
Sistine Chapel, are better known
than the Quirinal- And this means
that the genius Of Italy has to sup
port a double labor Not only do
Italians provide statesmen for their
own secular guidance, but they
furnish ecclesiastics for the spirit
ual guidance of the entire Roman
Catholic world. No nation any
where sustains an empire SO
strange, so intangible, yet so
ancient and continuous, as this Yet

an imagination which for thousands
of years has never failed to yield
triumphs of poetry, painting,
sculpture and architecture. Under
duress Of poverty this initiative
has turned sometimes TO socialism,
and even to that curious phenome-
non, the Camorra in Sicily, which,
like the now legendary wonders of
the wild West, will afford material
for generations of the more coura-
geous novelists. What Italy needs
and what she fights for is the Sc
curity and the repose which will al
low her great gifts to ripen into
noble achievement.

BUTTER PRICES
MAY HIT DIARIES
Barnard of Belief That New
Scale Will be Boomerang
for Industry.

Considerations Of the welfare of
the dairy industry enter into the
investigation of the butter situa-
ton, which is being conducted dur
ing the present week, Dr. Harry E.
Barnard, state food administrator
announced Thursday.
1t has been ascertained by the
conference of the dairy industry in
the United States, representing the
interests OF this business in the
food administration, that the recent
rapid rise in the price of butter
must result TO the great ultimate
disadvantage Of the industry. for
the reason that il must stife the
consumption Of dairy butter, indulge
an increased consumption Of cleo
margarine and bring an ultimate
slump i'm butter prices. which means
disaster to the original producer.
The recent increase in butter
prices is believed due somewhat to
"a misconCeption OF the amount of
butter Communicated by the Unit
Ell States government. This amounts
TO about % million pounds. out Of
present estimated storage stock of
100 million pounds.
ON the other hand it is agreed
that although the price Of feeds
has not increased the general ad-
yances i'm the wages paid in the ir-
dustry has been factor i'm the

DR. Barnard has also issued an
order which viii simplify the retail

sututes ON the 5000 basis The
order is based upon directions from
Washington which state that the
arraugcmeut is nationwide in its
scope that six pounds OF substitutes

AN EXAMPLE OF
FOCHS AIMS.

] do not think one can too niue n
emphasize the idea that geOgraphi-
cal detectives are minor. When We
struck at ~. Mihiel. Metz was in all
minds. but instead Of d blow towards
Metz we now have a stroke north of
Verdun A new gain has resulted.
We have taken guns, men and ma
terial We have smashed sector
OF the German point put new
strain upon his diminishing reserves
and contributed 10 a further lower
Ing of his morale.
What has happened in Macedonia
Is the best example Of what Foch is
striving for everywhere. Attacks in
France drew up from the Balkans
German. Austrian and even Bulgar-
ian reserves. As a result Balkan
blow brought a Bulgarian collapse.
Now. sooner or later. a blow in
Flanders. In Artois. IN Champagne
or in Lorraine will achieve the same
result for the same reasons. Tho
German is outnumbered, he cannot
be equally strong everywhere, and
we shall catch him in the west as he
has been caught in the Balkans. The
job has taken time, but the outcome
is assured.
Looked at locally. there is this 10
be said OF the latest F'ranco-Ameri-
can offensive. The vital railway
lines connecting the German front
in Alsace-Lorraine With the other
front in northern France are not
more than IS miles north Of Verdun

THE MEANING OF
THIS NEM DRIVE.

And as we have taken Narennes.
Montfaucon and half a dozen places
memorable in the battle for Verdun.
the French have taken Tahure. Ger
nav. Navarin farm, detectives fought
for in the battle of Champagne.
Now. what is the meaning of this
new offensive? Why was our first
army transferred from the right to
the left bank Of the Meuse? Why
did we interrupt our push for Metz ?
The answer TO these questions seems
plain. II is the old answer. We as
weapon in Foch's hands, are be
ing used now at st. Mihiel. now at
Verdun, to exercise every increasing
strain upon the enemy.
Pershing's attack in cooperation
with GOuraud was not primarily di-
rected at the capture of ground or
the cutting of communications.
These were incidental. Foch is at
lacking the Germans on all sides as
Grant attacked &c. seeking the de
struction OF the German armies.
The day is 10 come when some one
OF these attacks will cut clear
through and we shall have an en-
forced German retreat from the
HindenblrC line such as Lee was
compelled TO make from his great
PetersburS lines in 1865. But II
took many months TO bring this re-
~ll1t a bout
