Italy gives thanks to America. for her sons who fought on the Tagliamento. American troops who attacked shoulder to shoulder with the Italians left an undying name in Italy. The fame of their deeds never will be forgotten by the people of the country." Gen. Diaz, supreme commander of the royal Italian army, expressed to me this opinion of American fighting men as they proved themselves in Italy.

The hero of the Italian campaign which forced Austria to sue for peace accompanied this expression with an Italian's warmth of gesticulation and fervid eloquence. They were wonderful! They were splendid" be said. America can well be proud of the soldiers She sent to Europe. As members of an army hurriedly improvised, the facilitr with which they developed themselves to equal seasoned troops was most remarkable." fi I-NH ill II, L7 I I i Ap.ti 4 A11111 I 4 I 14 414 1 1 i7 I 1 i I 4 i 1 i t14-'1. s' Tliii I ill t' e-' I' 1 I 1 i 4 i 1, :1 I I t' rl xf7, I.

TnE TRIBUNE is for an adequate navy. We are for a navy which can maintain every American requirement upon the seas. If American requirements demand 'a greater navy than the British navy we are for that navy.

We do not believe that American requirements do demand that. We do believe that American requirements demand unquestionably the second navy of the world and an effective army under universaf service. That is not a flamboyant, provocative policy. It is a steady, stabilizing, peace preserving one, one which will meet the real needs of the United States, meet the needs of its internal development and its external dignity. The house of representatives, which is prepared to vote against a real army, is also prepared to give the nation an unreal navy.

It has voted for a navy which is to sail the streets of Paris at the present time and never sail any sea at any time. It is probably the first time in our history that a diplomatic gesture has had added to it a congressional gesture. Our present policy seems to be to speak boisterously and carry a small stick and not go anywhere at all.

We're sorry, know what it is at this time of the year." asked the general if he could tell me the alms and ambitions of Italy at the peace conference. I am a soldier," he said. I would not discuss the question, which, besides its military character. Is quite important politically. If the matter were not under discussion at the peace conference nothing would please me more than to express my feelings.

The Italian people, opposed for long centuries, had one dream. That dream was shared by all members of the Italian familyunder one national flag for the security of our land. During the last fifty years our countrymen were oppressed. Our countrymen were compelled to live under a threat of the enemy. Now that we have won the victory.

after heavy sacrifices, we naturally want to be liberated from foreign threats and give our people happiness, which they have won with blood on the battlefield. OF TIlE PEOPLE JFRTIEle.sTip.; (Copyright 1919: DON'TS FOR BABIES. IF you have some notions about earing for babies and you love those notions, have faith in them. want to hold onto them. do not relish seeitig them bowled over, abused, ridiculed, ruled outthen do nat read this story.

for I am going to quote Dr. Remsey of the University of Minnesota, who every now and then lays right and left. How is this? The common error in believing that new born infants must be bathed as soon after birth as possible is responsible for many deaths. If the baby is frail. or the labor had been hard and the child has been depressed thereby, clean it with oil and do not bathe with water for a day.

Another popular fallacy is that the mouth of the infant. beginning soon after birth, should be swabbed daily. The common practice is to stretch a piece of gauze over the finger and then to scour out the mouth of the baby. This Is the most common cause of stomata's. The mouths of young infants do not need swabbing any more than their eyeballs need washing.

practice of putting the baby to the breast every two or three hours during the first day Is also erroneous, and responsible for many failures in nursing. The common practice of ordering a dose of castor oil for the baby on the third day cannot be too strongly condemned. The prevalent idea among physicians that many mothers cannot nurse their babies is false. At least 90 per cent of mothers can nurse their babies in whole or in part for the whole or a part of the first year. There is, practically speaking, no such thing as bad breast milk.

A baby having frequent green curdy stools on breast milk has simply been having too much of a good thing." An analysis of a portion of breast milk usually gives fallacious information. Infants who are gaining properly in weight are always getting enough food. and frequently too much. Letters for this deportment mese be eigned with names and addresses of Ms tamest ings. The condition Is Intolerable.

Te whom may we refer this matter to bail relief? An investigation was made by es tosses. tor from this department. as a reauit at whictt a notice was served on the properly extend low chimney to abate el). sance of smoke and lames entering Inag room windows of adjacent binklines.

Do you think the trouble is in the blood? Why should these drinks affect me this way? Do you think I could help myself by taking up athleics?" REPLY. You should have an examination.

Your symptoms indicate that you have a long standing stomach ulcer. It is risky to neglect ulcer of the stomach. SLEEPING PORCH. F. P.

writes: 1. Can you give me any possible information where I can get window sleeping porch? 2. Can you give me a remedy for constipation in a year old child who was regular until two months ago? He eats plenty of apples." REPLY. 1. There are several on the market.

If your hardware dealer cannot get one for you. send. us stamped. addressed envelope with request fcr address. 2.

It is very irritating. as it causes an itching sertation. Is it contagious? If it has once been checked. is it liable to come back again?" REPLY. Are you oertain of your stir-- posed herpes lasting six months may he something else.

Herpes is a bloodstream infection with a resulting neuralgia. The ulcers occur along the course of the affected nerves. Saheylates give temporary relief. The infection is generally self-limitedthat is, it gets well after a Lme without treatment. Soothing salve such as oxide of sine ointment is of service.

Shall I -change his diet or is he too young? As yet he has had nothing but cows milk." REPLY. While the rule is that a baby that is growing has no pains and is always happy should be let alone, I think you should change the diet' somewhat. Milk is not a perfect food for a baby Sti months old. Continue milk as the of the diet. Give in addition hard too.t.

From these principles we deriye our claims, in accordance with the great ideals of the American people so highly expressed by President Wilson. The feelings of America are ours.

We are fond of progress; we are fond of working In the same way. The geographical situation of Italy, with our broad coast on the middle Mediterranean, may be In the future a bridge between America and the new growing nations of central Europe. We are a growing people and we now are approaching our full growth. We arrived at that point thanks to our efforts in the war. We want to be allowed to shut the door of our house and sit safely in It.

We want to be put in a position freely to attend to work and to co6perate in the human brotherhood in a renewed world made safe from any attempt against I.berty and any guilty imperialistic ambitions." Gen. Diaz received me in a suite of the Edouard VII. hotel, which the Italian delegation has taken over completely. ii A QUERY FROM OVERSEAS. SANDWICH, Kent.

England, Jan. To the Friend of the am an Englishman by birth. but was a resident of the United States for about ten years, although I never applied for citizenship until June, 1217. I then took out first papers that I might be eligible for conscription in the American armies. After registration I made several attempts to enter service by enlistment, but was rejected each time.

At last. however, I managed to get Into the Second Illinois ambulance corps and was finally assigned to the Thirty-third division at Camp Logan, Tex. At the medical examination before shipping overseas I was found unfit. discharged and sent back to Chicago. I reported to my draft board there and was put in class 1A and told to await call to the colors.

I was anxious to get into service and finally volunteered for service in France as a sapper in the Royal engineers of the British army. I learned after I had reached France that I had been called by my draft board to go to Rockford, but, of course, I was not there to answer. 1. Am I liable to any laws, military or civil. upon return to the United States for not having awaited the call from my board? 2 How has my citizenship status been affected by enlistment in the British army? 3.

Will I have any difficulty in reentering the United States? DISPATCH RIDER. The alien has forfeited any rights to citizenship he may have acmuired under his declaration of intention by joining the armies of his native country. and should he desire to be naturalized he must. of course. return to the United States and file a new declaration of intention.

Dr. Huntington said that the bolshevists had spent $10,000,000 last in spreading bolshevist doctrines outside Fluizsia. Some of it may have come to the United States. Ti.e government," he said. "maintains itself by terror.

They got into power by promirAng the people peace, bread. and land. They kept power by owning machine guns and using is temperate and reasonable in Russ a and elsewhere only to obtain means of spreading Cie destruction further. It believes in the desraiction of all Institutions we call civilized." It Ii2lieves in their destruction throughout the world al well as in Russia. It spends money which it trien from the bourgeoisie in Russia to destroy he bourgeoisie in every country.

Reports of Lei-One's consideration for manufactarers in Russia, of prosperous merchants calling on him in furs and limousines, give Americans a false idea of the rationality of bolshevism. Of course Lenine has to give manufacturers considertion now. Of course he has stayed the torch in their behalf. Lenine has to have machine guns to support himself. lie has to have money to spread his doctrine of destruction.

An examination of Russian bolshevik history will show that the party has always supported persons or institutions when it was of advantage to do so rnd has quite as promptly murdered and imprisoned persons who had helped when these men rtased to be necessary in their scheme of tearing down civilization. A constantly recurring flgure of speech in their propaganda is, The world should be burned over like a field." That is the object of their political philosophy and any means which forward destruction or which will indirectly forward destruction are justifiable means. They cannot, of course, be successful indefinitely. They can be successful so long as they have the means of starting conflagration and the opportunity to use the means. The problem is that of limiting bolshevist opportunity.

THE TRIBUNE SCHOOL LEASE. Mayor Thompson asks to be reelected mayor of Chicago because some twenty years ago the ground lease upon which the Tribune building stands was renewed to THE TRIBUNE upon terms known to be equitable and just. The political sod is arched over a number of politicians who, having nothing good to say of themselves, tried to continue in office upon what they could say of TIIE TRIBUNE. We do not object to the process. but the voters apparently do, not because they care for THE but because they do not care for the method.

THE TRIBUNE ground lease executed by the board of education has been used, by politicians. some crooked. some disreputable, some inefficient, some misguidedused for at least eighteen years by men who thought they could promote their own Interests by attacking THE TRIBUNE. It has been used by some men who were not disreputable or crooked, but who differed with THE TRIBUNE in political matters and who wished to slur an opponent. When a man begins to talk about TIIE TRIBUNE lease he wants to evade something, to divert attention and get away from the issuewhich is himself.

THE TRIBUNE is not running for office. It is not trying to control or Influence men in office except as it can Influence them for public good by measures publicly advocated and by the support of public opinion for measures publicly urged. THE TRIBUNE has no private dealings with any administrator or legislator. Mayor Thompson is a candidate, not THE TRIBUNE. THE TRIBUNE lease has been attacked in every possible fashion by men who did not want their own records examined.

Mr. Lorimer was an example. It was In his school that Mr. Thompson learned his methods. THE TRIBUNE lease has been in the courts.

It has been to the Supreme court. It has been sustained in legal and expert real estate opinion, in intelligent opinion, as not only just but advantageous to the public body that granted the lease. The board of education Is a tenant in the Tribune building. It has taken more space from time to time of its own desire. We will say that it Is a disadvantageous tenant.

The brawls which occur on the premises occupied by the board of education, brawls which require squads of policemen to stop the rough house or to enforce arbitrary and unjust orders Issuing from he city hall, make the board of education a tenant which no reputable building would desire, and a very poor tenant for the Tribune building. When the board pf education gets out the Tribune building will be quieter and Its space will come more nearly providing a profitable return. THE TRIBUNE lease is clean, but Mayor Thompson cannot glorify himself on It, not in the sight of people who have intelligence enough to ask what relation that lease has to the administration of William Hale Thompson and to the desirability of reelecting him. The common belief that the curd of cow' milk is the most difficult of digestion is erroneous. That cows milk or any other food.

patent or otherwise. can be juggled in its percentage to yen approximate human milk in its effects Is false. That infants should be fed wholly upon milk for the first year and largely for the first two years is also fallacious. Infants fed exclusively on milk for the first year are usually pale flabby and lacking In tone, and will be much Improved if given some extra food after the sixth or seventh month. After the first year the child should have a good mixed diet.

supplemented by milk in limited amount. The. almost universal idea that heating or boiling milk destroys or at least Injures it seriously as a food for children is also erroneous. The giving of sweets In the form of candy is usually injurious to children. especially if given between meals.

of The many years I have enjoyed reading THE TRIBUNE. and I have read and have reread your splendid leader entitled White Croses and White Flags In France." I do not know who wrole it, but I would like some time to take the man by the hand who wrote the article and tell him how deeply I appreciate what he said. While the wAr continued we all kept silent, but now that the war is practically over, we have no longer any fear of "lese majeste," and we can say what we think. While the war was on sidewalk patriots strutted about, while their friends and relatives. who ought to have been on the firing line, held soft jobs at Washington with their spurs dangling about their heels, as Joe Cannon said, to keep their heels from slipping off from their mahogany desks.

Since the war ended no more fit and proper editorial has appeared, tn my judgment, than your own of the lOth inst. lilt them. and hit them hard, as you are able to hit the men who held and participated in pink tea festivals while our boys were dying in the trenches. You cannot make your criticism too strong. DUNCAN THE RUSSIAN PROBLEM.

Chicago. Feb. of The Tribone.e-Iluesia needs Individuals who are neither friends nor enemies of the existing parties. or a new party which would not strive merely for rule or power and which would not interfere with the different classes or parties but should work out its own plan and conduct its work, not hesitating to select from every party the best workers and to take all the principles of every faction, no matter what their source. The existing parties should be neither united nor suppressed.

each should create and develop its best ideas. The more martyrs you make to a cause, even though It is a bad cause. the more rapidly will its partisans multiply. (Nothing develops culture and -quickly as injustice, despotism, and war. There are always in every party some dissatisfied members who generally are the best storkere, and many progressive and efficient persons, for one reason or another, do not belong to any existing party they should join if for no other reason than for self-protection.

The organized classes and creeds are fighting for their existence and we have seen that the greatest sufferers are the Innocent unorganized masses. No one should lose a chance for self-defense and humanity. I speak for myself alone, but there may be some one who sympathizes w-ith MB. RUSSIAN MOUJIK. -410- 1 REPUBLICS TOY WITH MONEY 1 J.

Isn't Maj. Gen.

The Versailles confreres will signally fall if war in the future is not made as unlikely as human agencies can make it.

Their stlecess will be measured by the permanency of the peace they establish. Gen. Wood's plea for a training of our young tnen Is admirable in many ways. The more extended this system of training the better. But what good would It all be if it acted simply as a provocative of war? From the Boston Post.

VIENNA, Tuesday, Feb. the Associated PressBanker here fear a financial panic throughout the former empire because of the recent efforts of the new republics to discard the old paper kronen of the empire by restamping them so that in effect they become new money. At present there are about 36,000,000,000 kronen of this old paper money in circulation, while the new Austrian state has only about 10,000.000,000 kronen in circulation.

The question has an international phase, since much of the old money is held in the Ukraine, the Russian provinces, Galicia, Poland, and in French, English, and Swiss banks. If the money held abroad is not stamped it has no circulating value in any of the new republics. The bankers say the situation is bound to have great influene on the commercial future of the several republics, which, they say, are pursuing a policy of self-destruction. Dr. Alfred Treicht, director of the Anglo-Austrian bank, declared today that if the allies did not want Austria to be driven financially to Join Germany, some solution of the situation must be found, as the kronen is depreciating rapidly in value in foreign countries.

It will tryand In this effort it will succeedto make it the most ineffective and tu pensive army in the world. It will abolish Its proper administrating body, the general tart. It will do everything militarily wrong in the worst possible fashion. Jr the bill is not in its worst possible shape now Dent will see that it gets In such shape quickly.
