Line0ln's Letter.

To Mrs. Bixby, who lost five sons
in the war of the rebellion.
Dear Madam have been shown in
the files Of the war department a state
ment of the acknowledgement Of Mas
sachusetts that you are the mother OF
five sons who have died gloriously on
the field of battle. feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words Of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from the grief Of u loss so Overwhelm-
ing. But / cannot refrain from ten.
dering to you the consolation that may
be found in the, thanks Of the Republic
they died to- save. l pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuage the an
guish of your bereavement and leave
you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride
that must be yours to have laid so cost
ly a sacrifice upon the altar Of free,
DOM" Abraham Lincoln.

Took Picture Of Kaiser.

Deputy Sheriff j. Il. Clark Friday
confscated picture of the kaiser from
a home in Webster City. Officers be-
lieve the family from whom it was
taken are thoroughly loyal, however.
1t had hung in their home for years
and had been left on the wall merely
through thoughtlessness. 1t will be
just as well to let this serve as a warn
ing, though, that pictures of the Ger
man kaiser should not be displayed in
American homes.

To Frau Meter, who has lost
nine sons in the present war.
Ills majesty the kaiser hears that
you have sacrificed nine sons in de-

fed at the fact, and in recognition is
pleased to send you his photograph,
with frame and autograph signature. y

ANTI AMERICANISM
FOUND IN ITALY
Propagandists Claim We Are in
War Merely for Gain

Rome, Feb. 23--A movement to i'm
prove censorship conditions so that
Italy may be better known to her
allies has been begun by Dr. Stuart
Galenga, chief of the Press Bureau
under-secretAry to Prime Minister
Orlando. and a member of parliament
At a recent conference held to hear
the grievances of both Italian and
foreign newspapermen SO as to i'm
prove censorship conditions, English
and American correspondents pointed
out that one of the chief objections
was the slowness of the Geographic
and mail services, particularly when
any news events of importance
occurred
The chief point made. as regards
the Allies, was that it is to their
mutual interest TO let the people Of
the respective nations know Of the
war activities of each other and by
telling the truth to counteract the evil
impression made by the circulation of
Austro-German propaganda.
Ant1-American propa ganda in
italy so far has been largely founded
on the argument that the war is en-
riching the United States to the detri-
ment of all the nations of Europe,
that the United States is going to
make only a bluff of carrying on
the war and risking the lives Of her
soldiers. Such propaganda is sup
posed to be Of German origin. 1t has
been found to take ready root in the
minds of pacifists and socialists who
want to have the war ended at any
cost and who realize that without the
help of the United States the war
might not be carried on so long and to
q victorious conclusion.
A subtle means of conveying this
argument has been by the use of
moving picture sh own in Sicily pictur-
ing Uncle Sam as a big, vulgar mil
lionaire raking in the gold of the
whole world
Representative LaGuariia, of New
York, has delivered several speeches
in Italy, speaking in the Italian
language, explaining that a collection
of debts is about all the United States
Will get out of the war and telling Of
the sacrifices the American people
are making in the way of food and
coal so nat her allies may have more
of these articles.
This ''get-rich-quici argument
however, was used very effectively
