Anno VI Una grande quantità' di viveri giunge misteriosamente ai nostri generosi ribelli del Quarnero IL GABINETTO i TRABALLANTE Sebbene le dimissioni del Ministro degli Esteri Tittoni, dimissioni an nunzate dal "Giornale d'ltalia", non abbiano avuto finora alcuna confer ma, pure in tutti i circoli politici e parlamentari della Capitale si insiste nelle voci che il Ministero Nitti, a causa della questione di Fiume, é molto scosso e si ritiene molto vero simile una completa crisi ministeria le ovvero un largo rimpasto. Secondo il giornale "Messaggero" ed altri organi favorevoli all'on. Nit ti, tali voci son premature e messe in giro dagli avversari del Gabinetto. Il "Messaggero" dice che il Mini stro Nitti finora non poteva agire di versamente da quando ha fatto altri menti avrebbe messo l'ltalia allo stesso livello di uno staterello balca nico o al livello di qualche turbolen ta repubblica dell'America Centrale. Senza dubbio lo popolarità che il Ministro Nitti era riuscito a guada gnarsi durante gli ultimi due mesi, con l'approvazione della Riforma e-- lettorale e con l'insuccesso dello scio pero generale, é molto diminuita in seguito al suo vivacissimo attacco fatto nel Parlamento contro d'An nunzio ed i suoi commilitoni. 1 Nazionalisti ed i sotenitori di Orlando e Sonnino attaccano con vi vace violenza il Ministro Nitti ed an che parecchi dei sostenitori dello stesso Nitti sono rimasti piuttosto sfar vorevolmente impressionati per le parole vivaci usate da Nitti nel de nunziare l'atto di d'Annunzio e dei suoi compagni. Secondo alcuni il Gabinetto Nitti sarà costretto a rassegnare le dimis WORK OF ITALIAN SOLDIERS IN WAR PRAISED IN LET "ER TO "GAZETTE TIMES" OF PITTISBURG By An Itaìian Marchioness In the short time I have been in the United States—after an absence ; of six years—l have been I beyond measure at the little know-] ledge and appreciatioiv of the Amer ican people in regard to the very important and vital part that Italy took in tlie war. People with whom I have spoken did not even ><now that a side from the extensive front where Italy, without the help of any other natio lÌ, kept at bay the Ausro-Hun garian forces from tho time she en tered the conflict until she flnally de cided its end by the greatest and most astomuiiiig \le tory of the war, that aside from this extensive front she had also her part of the front in Frante, where she kept an army of 50,(»oo men with large reserve forces under command of Gen. Albricci, who held several of the most strate gie and vital positions in the Argon ne, with the famous defense of Bli gny, where the Italian soldiers saved that seetion of the Freneh front from the overwhelming attack of the Ger mana in June, 93 S, also at Cliemin des-Dames, and eaptured from the Germans points of great strategy. Even in the German newspapers there was mention made of their Italian foes in France as being sol diers of great valor. Besides, there was an Italian Army Corps in Russia, also in Solon ica and in various part of Macedonia. Albania was eonquered entirely from the Austrians by the Italian forces only. Also in Tripoli there were con sideratile Italian forces. the Turks, Arabs and Bedouins being kept in a continuai state of revolt by German propaganda. There were also Ital ian contingents in Asia Minor, and in other countries where there hap- Afe..

Il "Giornale d'ltalia" insiste nel dire che Tittoni ha dato le sue dimis- sioni ed aggiunge che Nitti avrebbe invitato l'attuale Sotto-Segretario a- gli Esteri, Conte Sforza, ad assumere ti Dicastero degli Esteri.

Ali of this does not seem to be known to the American people—why, I do not understand. Probably it is the! Frent-li and English censors who pur posely endeavored to keep from the American public ali the marvels that Italy has accompli hed du ring the war. Several times Italv has saved the Allies and most of ali Fraine. First, when Italy declared her neu trality and thus enabled France to withdraw from her southern front 400,000 men who were guarding the French territory adjoining Italy and threw them on the Germans, then ad vancing fast towards Paris. The sec ond time was when Italv entered the war to save the cause of the Allies. The Russions were fast retreating across the Carpathian mountains and Italy faced the Victorious Germans and Austrian Hungarian armies and won many brilliant and extraordi nary victories over inaccessible -mountains and treacherous soil for tifted with the most perfect means of modem warfare, capturing forts, mountain passes and mountain peaks often with the simple bayonets as their only means of offense, as Italy. that first year of the war, had not yet made ali the ammunition and can non that she later did. Ycu must remember that Austria held ali the strategie points in her own territory that dominated Italy from her high mountains, on each of which impreg nable forts, massive breastworks mu nitioned with great quantities of can nons and everv means of offense and defense.

This saved the Russian army, enabling them to at tack the Germans. who, in turn, were obliged to lessen their forces then attacking the English and French in order to meet the Russian pressure on the East. Faced Germans and Austrians The third tirile that Italy saved the Allies was when, after the Rus sian detection, she was left alone to withstand the German and Austrian- Hui ;ari;'.n army, doublé the Italians in ir nibers and fìnely munitioned. The enemies' armies with picked di visions and enforced by the very best of tlie German troops brought down from the Western front, attacked the Italian army, which, retreating to the Piave, defended alone without the most meager help of the Allies. and alone checked the German-Aus trian advance, who, had they been able to break through the Italian line, would have been able to go up on the opposite side into France and by the rear surround the entire arrny of the Mlies. which would have been vital and decisive to the Allies' cause and would have ended the war then in favor of Germanv. The sanie titanic maneuver was again attempted by the German em pires in June of 1918, when again strengthened by their picked troops. chosen from ali their fronts and com manded by their ablest generals, doublé in numbers to the Italian forces, they again made the famous onslaught in which the turpid, yel low waters of the Piave where red with blood and for days the swift current bore away the numberless dead countless as the fallen leaves of the autumn. Again, for the hundredth time in the record of history, Italie valor stemmed and definitelv stopped the disonora, siete indegni di chiamarvi italiani. In un appello diretto alla popola zione di Trieste d'Annunzio dice: "Noi siamo determinati a restare a Fiume contro qualsiasi opposizione decisi a morire di nelle vie di Fiume, ad essere seppelliti sotto le sue rovine, bruciati vivi nelle sue case incendiate, pronti ad affrontare la morte più crudele.

Austro-Hiingariuns Routed The flf'tji time Italy ended the war by making her marvelous strategie attack with her insuperable soldiers and her wonderful generals, com pletely routing the colossal forces of the Austro-Hungarian armies and than ."00,000 prisoners and more than 5,000 cannons, thus completelv destroying and annihilat ing the \ustrian-Hungarian armies, also fierce and valiant fighters, and completelv laying bare and open the Southern German frontier over which her troops could have marched without any difficulty and take the German army in the rear as the Ger mans had sought but failed to do in their attack on the Piave.

Yet I was sent some American papers in which they spoke of the Allied armies winning the last great battle! They have only then to read the officiai statement pub lished by Gen. Diaz, the Ttalian com mander-in-chief, giving in detail the precise number of the treops who took part in the Italian victory, to see what little and unimportant help the Allies brought Italy. Perhaps the American people do not know as 1 do that the French censors cut out severa! parts of the officiai statement of Gen. Diaz, and they themselves added a sheadlines, "The Allies Great Victory!" Perhaps the American people do not know that the French purposely kept them in ignorance in I MANOSCRITTI NON SI RESTITUISCONO za noi siamo invincibili.

Probably it has been the French and English censorship that has kept the people bere in ig norance of the difficult and vigorous war w r aged by Italy among the high peaks and deep precipices of the Alps and the swift streams of the valleys. Is it stili the British and French cen sorships that give the names of Eng land, France and America as partici ating in the politicai sltuation of to day, purposely leaving out Jtaly, the fourth great power? Or is it the un explainable opposition of Wilson and his clique toward the Italian people and their just aspirations in the Adriatic? The French have alwavs been very iealòus of the Italian peo ple for many reasons, too long and complicated to now go into detail. Then the French have never gotten over the Italians refusing the idea of the one command under a French general, as consented to by the Al lies on the French front. Italian Generals in ('barge Italv had her own generals who alone were the ehief and supreme conimanders of her army, men of great genius and strategical abilities, and alwavs refused the one com mand represented in the person of Foch, who once when he was asked if he knew anything of an Italian attack then going on. answered that he knew nothing whatever. Italy entered the war for ideals; she fought for ideals; over 500,000 dead cry from their graves for the ideals for which thev bravely gave their lives, but useless instruments and a long tear of physical anguish and suffering. Yet the just cause for which this grave nation entered the war in defianee of her former allies, who did ali to keep her with them— this just cause has been trampled on Prezzo D'Abbonamento Un Anno . . . $2.00 Se : mesi . . .
