Italy’s Break With Former Allies to Join in Great War Explained WHAT WK FIGHT FOR By PROF. GRANT SHOWERMAN. Univenity ot Wscoium The high aims of America and her allies are well expressed in President Wilson's greetings to France on Bas- tfle day: "As France celebrated our Fourth of July, so do we celebrate her Four teenth, keenly conscious of a soin- nadeshlp of arms and of purpose of which we are deeply proud. The sea seems very narrow to-day, France is so close neighbor to our hearts. The war Is being fought to save ourselves from Intolerable things, nut is also bulug fought to save mankind. We extend our hands to each other, to the great people with whom we are associated, and to the peoples every where who love right and prize justice as a thing beyond price, and consecrate ourselves once more to the noble enterprise and justice real izing the great conceptions that, have lifted France and America high among the free peoples of the world The French flag files to-day from the staff of the White House, and America Is happy to do honor to that flag." A CALL TO DUTY From the battle fields of France there conics an unspoken call that should find an answer in every American's heart, The recent great events In Europe, the successes of American arms on the fields of France should spur every American to greater effort. Our people at home should not rest on the laurels of bur soldiers In France Every death on the field of honor In the line of duty and for our country's cause should be a call to ns f r every sacrifice and every exertion to pld the cause for which our » Idlers are fighting, for which our soldiers have died Increase productli n. decrease CO II- sumption, save, and lend to the Gov ernment Every cent lent to the United States Is used to support, strengthen, and aid our soldiers In France. Italy’s war is a people’s war. She entered spurred by sympathy with Trieste and the Trentino, by the accumulated hatred of a hundred years for the Austrian tyrant and by indignation at the arrogance and brutality of the Teutonic powers. First, Italy promptly and decidedly refused to obey the summons of Germany and Austria to come to their aid. This she was able to do without any manner of unfaithfulness to the triple alliance, because it required her to support only in case of defensive war and because Austria herself had violated the terms of the alliance by altering the status of the Balkan territories without previous arrangement with Italy. In this way Italy declared to the world her condemnation of German and Aus trian aggression. Secondly, at the beginning of hostilities Italy promptly withdrew her troops from the French frontier, thus not only signifying her friend liness toward France but making possible the transfer and use of 400,000 soldiers in the campaign which ended in the victory of the Marne. Noth* ing could have got the Italian army and navy to fight against England and France. Thirdly, when Italy did finally take up arms it was at the time of Russian retreat and reverse for the allies. She entered the war then as a people rather than a mere government. Such was the intensity of their passions that the Italian ministry faced no less a question than that of war or revolution.

LOWE Capital $50,000.00 • Surplus and Undivided Profits $25,000.00 Effort to Stamp Out Idleness Should Have Approval of All Americans Governor \\ hitman’s effort to stamp out idleness among the men who are able to work and will not work certainly ought to have the hearty approval of all Americans. If the Whitman idea—to make all loafers subject to a fine of $100—were followed in other states, it would go a long way toward extirpating pro-German sentiment. It is a fact, easily dem onstrated by investigation, that a large percentage of the slackers—and this is but another name for loafers—are pro-German in their sentiment. 1 hey will not work, because in the first place they are opposed to work constitutionally, and also because they are against America nnd for Ger many. It is not only the rich young fellows who are idle but a great many others who scratch out an existence by avoiding work and living on others —social parasites. It would be a good thing if our young women would treat the slackers in America ua the young women of Canada treated those who refused to enlist.
