In both of these conventions the dom

INDIAN DELEGATES

Ten Representatives Of Chippewa
Tribe Seek Action by Congress.

The Chippewa Indians of Itasca
county are we'll represented at Wash

the state, are to present their claims
to the Indian bureau and to con-;

is James Coffee, Of Coffee postoffice'

Last May an act Of congress was
passed that would divide certain
tribal funds long held in trust by
the treasury department., Though
the money was made available at
that time, none of it has been dis
tributed, so the delegation was Sc.

Economic Difficulties.
The magnitude of this military effort
can be fully appreciated only when one
takes into consideration the economic
structure of the nation and the nature
and number of it's population. One
must remember that out of 100000
inhabitants in Italy. at the beginning
of the war only 100000 were male.
This seeming disproportion is caused
by emigration, which was largely COM
posed OF male adults. Out of those
100000 only 100000 were adults
economically productive. Consequent
ly the subtraction of the modified
forces has had an acute reaction on
:he economic life of the nation. It is
estimated that on an average only 100
adults remained in each town or vii
lage to provide in each case for some
800 children below the age of fifteen.
Furthermore, the traditions of ,Ital-
lam family life render the work of their
women an economic factor of less i'm

most and.is becoming more available

By DR., FELlCE FERRERO,

Director italian Bureau Of Public
Information.
The blood and treasure Of Italy were
freely spent in the successful effort to
put Austria Hungary out Of the war.
While Italy's efforts were not confined
to the Austrian front, her contribution
to allied success was greater here than
in the other places where her troops
fought the battle for civilization. Her
financial and Industrial efforts have
been equal to her military effort, and
in all these directions Italy has not
Jagged behind her allies. That the
nature and extent of these efforts may
be better understood by the American
public, l wish to review them briefly.
In considering 1taly's military con-
tributions, let, me emphasize the fact
that her soldiers have not confined their
fighting to their own soil. Like those
of her allies, they have gone far atield
They contributed largely to the glori-
Gus victory on the Balkan front. A
large contingent in France first gave
powerful aid in the defense of Rheims,
then took part in the advance of the
allied forces.
Italy Had 5,5oo,o00 Under Arms.
Since the beginning Of the war Italy
has called to the colors little less than
5,5OO,000 men and has suffered loss
Of almost l 100000 of them. OF that loss
nearly $4,000 died in battle, and 1OO,-
600 from disease. Over $4,000 are
totally incapacitated, either by blind
ness, loss of limb or tuberculosis. At
the present moment the strength of
the italian army is 4,O25,OO0, including
the class of men born in 1900, who
have been called to the colors recent
~. 1t may be said, then, that the ma
tons man-power has suffered per-
manent loss Of nearly million.
But, serious as is this loss. Italy has
inflicted an even greater punishment
upon the foe. In Austrian prisoners
alone she has taken approximately a
million. The Austrian loss in killed
and wounded is, of course, unknown
to us, but even the most conservative
estimates make it far greater than
ours. In the June offensive on the
Piave alone over 100000 Austrian dead
were left on the field.
Fighting Under Extreme Difficulties.
Aside from their achievements in
other theatres of the war, Italy's SOL
diers have fought through fifteen fu-
rious offensives on the IsonZo and the
Piave, iniicting terrible losses on the
foe in each. These campaigns were
carried on in mountainous regions and
under rigorous weather conditions that
taxed to the utmost the genius of the
military engineers and the endurance
Of the troops. The foe, when hostili-
ties opened, were entrenched in care
J fully prepared and seemingly impreg-
nable positions backed by a network
OF military roads and railroads. On
the Italian side were deep gorges, un-
scalable cliffs, almost impossible gla-
