Enormous Task Ahead. Half a million fine acres cf land in the northern provinces of Italy, whicli i was virtually abandoned during th(; Austrian occupation, may not be plowed this spring, owing to the short ness of time, and the enormity of the task of rehabilitating the farm population. Several thousand plowing ma chines must De rusneci in ior ine wwre, if it is to be accomplished, as well a* a large number of horses for trans porting fuel and fertilizers and foi sowing the fields. There is a food shortage in thf * meantime; meat and wheat and dairj products are very scarce, in fact, but ter is almost an unknown eommoditj nw/vn +V>a Koc4 hntulc nf T)nma Mllnn ill riru llic Utot uvvvto VI -. viuv, Turin and Genoa. j And there is a fuel shortage that is even worse, because Italy does iiol produce one pound of coal within hei ' own boundaries. Every pound burned must be hauled in ships, either frofii England or America, and there is none to spare in England. Not counting the excessively higli prices of all commodities, these were some of the principal economic trou bles the Italian government was en deavoring to overcome during the first weeks of the peace conference ill Paris. The army of 3,500,000 men was still in uniform, although a few hat been demobilized, and 900,000 men and women were still in the munition fac + AC Slight- Tinge of Anarchy. i Throughout the political situation there#was naturally enough an undercurrent of radicalism, which, fortunately enough, was thought to be onlj .slightly tinged witli the anarchistic doctrines of the bolsheviks. !

The most optimistic statesman or government official in Italy, however, knows that electric power alone will never adequately supply the Italian in-. dustrial wants, and this factor in the j 5 Italian proniem is aiso appreciaiea Dy j the allied nations. Accordingly there 1 j Is a well-defined movement on foot at the peace conference to grant Italy j permission to mine a certain quantity j : of coal in Asia Minor?the near East. \ It is admitted that the Italians! should not be forced to depend for-; ever on the surplus coal from Amer-! ican and English mines.

And the way I see it is that this money, instead of being wasted, can be written down as having saved the lives of hundred of thousands of American men who would have been sacrificed had the war continued anothei /ear. "That is the money we are gc.ng to ask the American people for in the Liberty Loan.
