THESE PHOTOGRAPHS show some of the cooperation existing between the United States ! and Italy in the war on the
common foe, the Hun. Above, American Red Cross workers and ambulance drivers in Milan on a tour of the city, accom

States than the work done by the American Red Cross during the trying days of the Italian retreat. Everywhere the Red Cross
workers appear they are wildly acclaimed by huge crowds. Below are a number of American fighting mens gathered about the
cuisine ambulanti of the American Red Cross in an Italian city. There is a considerable force of American aviators now in Italy,

ITALY IS GRATEFUL TO
U. S. FOR WHOLE-HEARTED
Rome,, May 24. (U. P.) The - Prince
of Wales arrived from the Italian front
today to participate in the patriotic cel
ebration of Italy's entrance into the war.
He was given a magnificent welcome by
thousands of schoolboys who cheered
and waved flags.
A typical incident occurred in front of
the Massimo military hospital, opposite
the railway station. Wounded soldiers
and nurses, crowding the : windows.
cheered the prince, who was obviously
affected. He first saluted, then waved
his hand affectionately toward the
wounded men. His action elicited a
storm of applause.
The Tribuna, commenting on the
American celebration of Italy day, said
today :
President. Wilson was perfectly right
in his assertion that part of the big
heart of America throbs in the Italian
army. Not only the army, but the whole
population' nurtures the most cordial
and grateful sentiments toward America.
"The present celebrations further
strengthening the bonds ' between, the
two allied nations, will have far-reaching
and lasting effects. America will
forever grasp Italy's band in a cordial
grip because Latin civilization just aa
American civilisation Is baaed' on lib
erty,1-uslce and right. V" t. .
-juuy aay is tne. gratifying results or
President Wilson's own . Initiative, per
sonal activity and sentiment.- backed by
the whole-hearted support of the whole
generous American people. The Italians
hope that on Italy day, when the Tri
color Is welded with the : Stars and
Stripes, Americans will - know, under
stand and appreciate Italy's" heartfelt
gratitude and friendship.'" ,
ITALY FORMALLY MAKES '
WAR THREE YEARS 'AGO
Washington. May 24. (I. JC S.y
Three years ago : today. Italy declared
wr on GermanjV p . ,,;.:..
A wireless-from Berlin later carried
the following official and : formal an
nouncemerit: . . .-. ' " ' i , ' ' :'.;
"The Italian government has declared
through the Swiss government that . it
considers itself from August 2$ at war
with Germany." - . ,f ,"',';
' Italy's - formal declaration, amounted
to little more than official , recognition
of a' state of affairs which already ex
isted. . t -
The declaration became inevitable
when Italy sent troops to Salonlkl to co
operate in the campaign of the entente
allies on the ' Macedonian front. ' Inas
much as Germany was directing the op
posing forces and had troops on this
battleline.:
Italy's position in regard to Germany
had. been an anomalous one after. Italy
withdrew from- "the ' triple , alliance - on
May - 23, 191S, and" declared war on
Austrian ' "
X
DURING THE WAR
Before Italy took . this step, Germany
exerted every effort to Induce her.t re
main neutral, sending to Rome as am
basaador. Prince von Buelow- The prince
succeeded . for some time In averting
war between Austria and Italy, and
when he saw that a rupture was : in
evitable, he took steps toward nreserva-
Uon of an official" peace between X3er-
many and Italy. v
On behalf of 'his government he ne
gotiated with Italy's, special agreement
under which, in case of -war between
Austria and . Italy, Germany and Italy
pledged themselves to respect the4 nroo-
erty and lives of their respective sub
jects in each others' domains.
This meant for Germany a guarantee
of many millions of dollars worth of
properties in Itafyv-and -for Italy the
safety of 30,000 Italian subjects who were
stui living in Germany. ,
Later, Italy made the , following 'de
mands:' That her sons who .suffered
under Austro-Hungartan - tyranny be
rreed; that she be protected by natural
and national boundaries so as to be se
cure in her own national, peaceful de
velopment ; that the 'Adriatic . become a
sea where no other nation except Italy
have any Tight to have forts and men
of war; that she be granted territorial
expansion in the Mediterranean In pro
portion to the increase of territory of
tne oiner ieaiierranean nations and
such as to offer an outlet to the mil
lions or her sons who were then seeking
a living in roreign ana rer orr countries.
The world "knows what Italy has since
suffered. Germany and Austria, refused
to satisfy in any decent manner the first
three, demands and as for the last, of
f ered Italy, the, possession . of Morocco,
Algeria- iiinia ana -jsgypt. - - , ' 4
-Italy .did not' take long to find that
the bargain was not honest. ' - Had Italy
taken, the- side of Germany and Austria,
tn case ti a Teutonic victory she would
have gotten til of the. north of Africa.
but would have been almost just as weak
as she now is on the Austrian frontier
and in the Adriatic, and, more than any
thing , else, she would have herself
signed her own sentence to. perpetual
slavery.... f?;..-. ... , '

"I can honestly say that 'the British
government has neglected no possible
means of ascertaining whether there is
any honorable outlet from the war.
Ws are dealing with the ruthless'
Prussian despotism which is out for'
plunder and pillage. . Their latest treat

"We tried repeatedly to achieve unity

OFFER OF SITE TO
U. S. IS CONSIDERED
Meeting Is to Be Called to Fur
ther Concrete Ship Plant
Campaign.
Portland lnteresta( must offer to the
United States shipping board a free sits
for a concrete shipbuilding plant If the
cKy hope to acquire one of the two
plants to be located on the Pacific coast,
according to the view of the Chamber
of Commerce, and a meeting to aacwr
tain th possibility of sorb, a donation
will be called at onco by W. V. B. Lod
son. eserutlvs secretary.
The government has appropriated
f ie.0O0.eoe for each of the two plants
promised to this coast, but the local
notion Is that a free arte will be a great
Inducement to the board of Investi
gators, whose report will pract-ay
settle the matter of the location of th
second plant. It Is believed that th
first has been definitely decided upon
for Oakland. CaL
This city Is held able lo advance cli
matic claims equal to any In the LTnlUdT
8Lates. "The discovery within th city
limits of a large deposit of baaaltie
scoria, which Is . a lighter substance
for the manufacture of concrete, and
at the same Urn as valuable aa any
now in use. Is of prim importance and
fchould. It Is said, ber an attractive feat
ure. But the government, it is pre
sumed here, will desire to put every
dollar of ft appropriation Into the
task of preparing a huge plant for
the earliest possible operation and th
ft site will be sn important thing
In favor of this city.
Through . the Chamber of Commerce
Portland will extend every effort u
secure one of the proponed federal
plants snd has already started a cam
paign at Wsshlngton. I). C. I. W.
