FOR ITALY

Vv7EAR a flower in your coat
wv lapel for Italy.
To-day three years ago
that nation entered the war on the
side of the allies and against Ger
many. To-day, with thousands of
her sons beneath the sod and mil
lions more on the fighting front,
Italy has become one of the great
factors in the defeat of Germany and
a champion of world-freedom and
democracy, as her recently executed
agreement with the Southern Slavs
as to territorial rights plainly indi-
Gates.
We in the United States began
only to understand the heroic char
acter and the fighting qualities of
the Italian people following the dis
aster on the Isonzo last year, when.
between the cruel shears of traitors
the Iegions of Italy were cut to
pieces, fell back to the Piave and
from the banks of that little river
hurled to destruction attack aftersat-
tack of the German hordes. There
the Italians turned defeat into vic
tory and stopped the shock troops
OF the Central Empires with their
shattered and worn battalions, even
as the French, the British and the
Americans blocked the path of the
onrushing Hun in Picardy after a
terrible fortnight, as the result OF
which We can better understand the
wonderful resistance of the Italians
which enabled them to perform their
herculean task almost unaided.
The history of Italy is glorious in
arms. but never more glorious than
in the present hour of her greatest
trial. 1t was her sacrifice that
brought the allies finally to under
stand the absolute necessity of unity
of arms and of command. 1t was the
defeat of the Isonzo as much as that
of Picardy that brought about the
appointment of Foch and the brigad-
ing together of French, British and
American regiments. Italians are in
our own armies by the thousand
They are making good records for
themselves. Italians in the United
States are generous purchasers OF
Liberty Bonds and contributors to
all manner of war funds. They have
been identified with every war-work
movement since the nation entered
the conflict. There is never a ques-
ton as to the loyalty of a citizen OF
italian birth. They are true as steel
to the country of their adoption and
their worth should be more gener-
ally recognized.

HINTS FOR BAKERS

10 He EdHor or the Telegraph:
Bakers all over the country are
using all their skill in turning out a
good Wheatless loaf of bread and
prizes are being offered to those
turning out the best wheatless sand
wich loaf etc.
Why don't the bakers here show
their skill, and at the same .ime
patriotism, by making some effort to
turn out a good palatable, wheatless
loaf at a reasonable price. Are they
afraid we won't buy such a loaf?
Foolishness! The majority of us
through patriotic notions, if nothing
else would buy such a bread and be
satisfied and recommend it to others.
Public eatinghouses and others
are desirous of getting on the "Hoov-
er Rolf of the Food Administra-
ton but those who eat at home could
also have this bread simply by in
sisting upon having good wheatless
bread.
Let's go over the top in the wheat
conservation, and give our patronage
to the bakers who are willing 20
cooperate with us in this campaign
and patroniZe only such eating
shops as have complied with this
request to serve no wheat products
until The next harvest is available.
We can do it easy enough and again
show the spirit hat is doing so
much 10 win this war for u.s.
Let us begin at once and to start
the campaign. l am enclosing a
few receipts that have been tried
and proved, and could be adopted by
the bakers mere with good results.
Here's hoping for good wheatless
bread before the end of this week
and I trust you will lend your usual
influence in such matters to make
It a success:

pounds rye flour, ten pounds bran
flour, ten pounds barley flour, one

The German Revolution
New York Times1


1t is reported that Chancellor Won
Hertling and Foreign Secretary Won
Kuehlmann have protested against
the new alliance between Germany
and Austria-Hungary and have
washed their hands of the entire
matter, as they objected to the
methods by which the Military part
of the convention was devised ove-
their heads by the German higher
command" General Won Luden-
dorff is said to have insisted that
their objections be disregarded and
the alliance be signed at once"
The military sections of the alliance
compel Austria "to place all her
forces at the disposal of Germany"
This is merely one more document
in the piling accumulation of evil
denee that the civil government of
Germany is passing away; that to
1t is succeeding an irresponsible
military despotism. 1t is one of the
reasons why Germany's word is
worthless; for even if a German
statesman honestly means to keep a
pledge he signs, it can be nullified
in moment # some member of the
military ring disapproves of it.
Speaking of the military ring and
the nominal government of Ger
many, the civil government, Deputy
Noske said few days ago before
the main committee of the Reichs-
tag:
When an agreement on anything
is reached between these two fac
tors. 1t Is only achieved by the gov
ernment giving way.
And he added this measurably
ominous sentence: -
There is no getting away from the
impression that Germany is again
under absolute rule.
The short-lived constitutional rule
of Germany is fading fast away; she
is reverting as fast as possible to the
despotism of the Middle Ages. des-
potism which. unlike the despotisms
of other countries, was prolonged al
most into our own day. Her period

"reorganizers" might be able to
reconstruct their party in
Pennsylvania, are in the slough OF
despond since the primary election

they thought was a real political and
party citadel, was nothing more than
the camouf1age of former fighting
force. Not one Democrat in fifty,
would have wagered a peanut on the
nomination of Mr.. Bonniwell. He
was regarded somewhat as a mere
incident in the campaign.

bosses have fallen fiat, in view of

the voters of their party. They are

appear that 1t was ell a matter of

SUPPORT THE BOYS
the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
While observing the parade of last
Saturday, l thought of what a splen-
did showing and good work the Red
Cross is doing for the boys across the
water and for those in this country.
During the same afternoon l met
one of the boys from Camp Ham
cock. | mentioned the above fact
to him and was surprised to hear
his answer. 1t was to this effect,
that the boys in that Camp are slow
ly acquiring comfort.
My letter is not meant as a knock
but meant as a helpful hint during
this present time when so many of
our boys are rushed across to help
stop and crush Militarism. Some
we know must give the greatest thing
they have but it will be comforting
to know that they crossed the Great
Divide comforted perhaps by some
thing prepared by their best friends.
Thanking you for your considera-
ton of this matter, am,
Sincerely Yours,
