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
fen equal to her military effort, and
Nh all these directions Italy has not
Hanged behind her allies That the
nature and extent of these efforts may
be better understood by the American
public, I wish to review them briefly.
In considering ltaly's military con-
trbutions, 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 afield.
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 100000 Under Arms.
Since the beginning of the war Italy
has called to the colors little less than
100000 men and has suffered a loss
of almost 100000 Of them Of that loss
nearly 100000 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 4.025OO0, including
the class of men born in 1900, who
have been called to the colOrs recent
~. It may be SAID, then, that the ma
tons man-power has suffered per-
Nmanent loss of nearly a 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
u UuL CSSAA VIC ulOSl conservative
7 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.
4 Aside from their achievements in
other theatres Of the war;, ,Italy's SOL
4 diers have fought through fifteen flu
\ rious offensives on the IsonZo and the
Piave, inflicting terrible losses on the
foe in each. These campaigns were
4 carried on in mountainous regions and
y under rigorous weather conditions that
TAXED to the utmost the genius OF the
military engineers and the endurance
tof the troops. The foe, when, hostili-
q ties opened, were entrenched ia care
4 fully prepared and seemingly impreg-
nable positions, backed by a network
I of military roads and railroads. On
n the Italian side were deep gorges. .un.

no suitable roads Or bridges. The sur.

Pretty Polly.
"Polly, want a cracker?"

"Polly, want a cracker?"
"Why, yes,' answered Poll as she
plumed her plumage and neatly
brushed out her cage with her port
side wing. "Now that the war is
won and the necessity for food con
servation has been reduced to Ger

And the wealthy munition worker
who overheard the remark bought

INTERVENTION IS0NLY HOPE
 FOR RUSSIA

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 2 Gore spondence of the Associated Press).- Bolshevik propagandists were sent from Russia not only to Germany but to China, England and France, says Harold de Scavenius, the Danish min ister to Petrograd, who has just re- turned from Russia, together with the staff of the Danish legation. While at the Russian capital he had been act ing in behalf of the entente powers. Four hundred Russian propagandists, he declared, were in Berlin before the German revolution began, and instruc- tions were given for numerous Bol- shevists to be dispatched to England and France by underhand routes. Re- gently, he added, a number of repa- triated Chinese were sent home from Russia, and among them were numer- ous propagandists.
 The Sovie Russian government, ac- cording to M. de Scavenius, under
 stands very well that it's only possi- bility of maintaining it's existence is in an international revolution, and
 while the German revolution was near ing it's apex the Bolshevik leaders re- joiced in it's progress, but were dis appointed that the German adminis-, tration remained in the hands of the Social Democrats.
 They emphasized,' said the Dan ish diplomat, "that Germany was only in her February revolution'-her Ker-
 ensky revolution-and they predicted
 that she soon would have her 'Octo- Der revolution and more speedily than was the case in Russia. "The only cloud upon the sky of their hopes is the position of the en- tente They say that if the entente
 will do as Germany did, and occupy the Baltic provinces and the Ukraine,
 there is nothing to fear, because in that case they would be able in a few
 months to revolutionize the French and British troops, as they claim they already had revolutionized the Ger man troops. Their only alarm was lest the entente should occupy Petro- grad and Moscow, because they knew their only weapon was propaganda. Bolshevists are masters in revolution ary propaganda, and at the head of this institution Is an Austrian named Radek, who in Moscow founded an international federation with mem bers from the people of several na- tions.
 Organization and production are impossible in Russia because Russian workmen have no sense of fellowship, It is impossible for the Russian gov ernment to reorganize industry and
 trade according to communistic prin- ciples as long as other states have
 not accepted like principles of govern | ment. Until now Russia has main- tained life on pre-war stores, but this soon will be exhausted The Russian foreign minister once said that the Soviet republic was foreign sub- | stance in Europe"
 M. de Scavenius said he did not believe conditions in Russia would be altered without foreign intervention,
 and he added that in his opinion i'm
 mediate intervention would not meet with any considerable resistance.

Japan's Grip On China

Robert T. Skerrett in Leslie's.
 In 1913. the Germans obtained two i'm portant railroad concessions, and plans wore already matured for the building of these commercially strategic transpor- tational links. At that time Tsing-tau was connected by rail with Pekin and, by way of the transsiberian line, with Flu rope. The new concessions embrace the Shantung Southern and the West rail- way The Shantung Southern branches off from the Shantung Northern at Ka- uni and runs thence to Handchwang where 1t joins the railroad leading south to Nankin and on to Shanghai These rights now put at the disposal of the. Japanese the means not only of tapping by rail tremendously rich and produc- tive area, but they offer also paths of traffic by which freight bound to and from the interior of China and Russia can be distributed at the focal point of Tsng-tan, and. if destined for the United States, can be dispa atched by Jap anese steamers to the Pacific coast or to our Atlantic seaboard via the Pan anna canal.
 Holding Port Arthur and controlling Tsing-tau, the Japanese will be able to dominate in both a military and a com mercial sense much of the Yellow sea, the Cuffs of Pechih and Lao-Tung, and the Bay of Korea. Whether the Jap anese ultimately keep their word and surrender in name Kiao-Chau, which they have long coveted, their retention of the railroads. the ersewhile German

WORKERS BUILDING
 NEW AUTO PLANT Studebaker Rushing Work on Gigantic South Bend
 Factories

The month of May has seen greatly increased activity in the new con struction work on the Studebaker plants.

 and the foundations of which were 20
 per cent complete at the first of the month. have been rushed along until
 now the foundation work is S2 per cert complete and everything is in readi- ness to begin on the building proper
 Great quantities of structural steel and reinforcing steel are being shipped and being rolled at the mills for this work. Material for concrete is com ing in every day and this great Sour story structure. which is's but one os the entire group of 10 buildings will then be pushed through to completion before December l.

 Owing to the large amount of exca- vating work necessary to take care of the reinforced concrete footings of these buildings, there has not been q great deal of work done up to date on the structure, but large gangs of car penters have been constructing wood en forms for the reinforced concrete colums for the sub-assembly building. Upon the receipt of several carloads of reinforcing steel now being rolled at the mills and in transit these forms will be erected rapidly and poured imm ediately.

Cost Of Food Production
 And the Motor Truck

The cost of food production should be carefully considered when we think of the present cost of living. In the minds of many people the farmer is a profiteer and the prices he has been securing with in the last year are producing fabulous wealth to the farmer Don Drennen, pres ident of the Birmingham Motor company, has views of his own on this subject. that are worth considering.
 investigation shows us that the food producer has not received the fair con sideration he deserves in this matter of costs" says Mir. Drennen.
 Here is one good average condition that throws considerable light upon the sub ject. A certain Alabama truck and fruit farm of 50 acres had a very prosperous year in 1918, in fact, this was true of practically all farms last season. The farm could not be bought today for S20, coo, as the buildings land and equipment are worth lot more However, to be fair, let us consider an investment 20 per cent lower, or. s16,000 Six per cent in- terest on investment is hardly equal to the earning power of the same amount of capital invested in a city business This amounts to S960 per year. At least per cent should be added to include taxes, repairs. insurance, blacksmith bills, de- terioration in values and other similar items, and $540 seems very reasonable to cover these items Manure and fertilizer used amounted to sf75 and hired help, not, the farmers labor, $1150. As this was very good year some new equip ment was purchased amounting to $50 This gives a total of sS775, which must be offset by all products sold.
 The net sales amounted to s475c-leav- ing $s75 as a balance. However. this does not include the cost of marketing the food-only the production.

DARK COLORS WILL
 PREVAIL IN TIRES Improved Compounds Make the Rubber Tough
 and Durable

That it's tires are now made in dark colors is due not to a fad in style, but to important Improvements in the com pounds which make up the tire tread, is the statement of L. W. Kennedy of the United States Tire company
 Alter long period of experimentation our company developed a new formula Tor it's tread compounds so much tougher and much better wearing, that It was adopted as the standard of man ufacture, even though it called for change from the light color to which the pubic has been accustomed.
 Before the dark tire was placed on the market it was thoroughly tested by the testing fleets of the company. These tests demonstrated that the dark com pound produced tires of greater mileage

than the lighter stock The dark col ored tires have been on the market long enough now to demonstrate their su- periority.
 Aside from the matter of the quality oi the tire, the dark colored tire has de- cided advantage in that it is not so easily discolored as the light tire. To keep a light colored tire presentable required frequent dressing, but the black tire needs on attention of this sort
 If the dark tire offered no superior points. the light tire would probably be in demand with buyers who regarded it with favor, but the unquestioned superi- ority in toughness and durability of the dark tread make the matter of color a negligible factor when considered in con nection with the subject of the real rner- it's of the tire.
