ANTONIO SALANDRA.
_President of the Ministerial Council._ _Rome. May 20, 1915._

_GOTT STRAFE ITALIEN_
Neither Serbia nor Russia, despite a long and costly war, is hated.
Italy, however, or rather those Italian would be politicians and business men who offer violence to the majority of peaceful Italian people, are so unutterably hated with the most profound honesty that this war can produce.
_The Frankfurter Zeitung, May 25, 1915._

_THE LATIN SISTERS_
_Italy: "Indeed she is my sister"_
Giuseppe Garibaldi with a corps of Italian soldiers went to the defense of the French Republic in the war of 1870 against the Prussians, performing heroic deeds at Dijon worthy of an epopee.
Ricciotti Garibaldi, living son of the Hero, with a corps of Italian volunteers went to the defense of Greece against Turkey in 1897, performing heroic deeds worthy of an epopee at Domokos.
Peppino Garibaldi, living son of Ricciotti, with a corps of Italian volunteers went to the defense of the French Republic in the present war against Germany, performing heroic deeds worthy of an epopee in the Argonne.
_From "Why Italy entered the Great War."_ LUIGI CARNOVALE.

_THE ZEPPELIN TRIUMPH_
"_But Mother had done nothing wrong, had she, Daddy?_"
The first Zeppelin attack on London was made on the evening of the last day of May, 1915. Zeppelins pa.s.sed over Colchester at 10 o'clock, and at twenty-three minutes past ten the people in one of the poorest and most crowded quarters of East End were startled to find bomb after bomb, mainly of incendiary type, dropping among them. A large number of civilians including many women and children were killed.
By sh.e.l.l from sea, by bomb from air, Our greeting shall be sped, Making each English homestead A mansion of the dead.
And even Grey will tremble As falls each iron word; "G.o.d punish England, brother?
Yea! Punish her, O Lord!"
_A Hymn of Hate by_ HERR HOCHSTETTER.
_Translated by_ CAPT. G. VALENTINE WILLIAMS.
_London Daily Mail._

_MY SON, GO AND FIGHT FOR YOUR MOTHERLAND_
IS YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR?
Ask your conscience why you are staying comfortably at home instead of doing _your_ share for your King and Country.
1. Are you too old?
The only man who is too old is the man who is over 38.
2. Are you physically fit?
The only man who can say honestly that he is not physically fit is the man who has been told so by a Medical Officer.
3. Do you suggest you cannot leave your business?
In this great crisis the only man who cannot leave his business is the man who is himself actually doing work for the Government.
If your conscience is not clear on these three points your duty is plain.
ENLIST TO-DAY
G.o.d SAVE THE KING
_Newspaper advertis.e.m.e.nt in British Press, May, 1915._
[Ill.u.s.tration]
_THE SACRIFICE--FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE_
The women of Great Britain will never forget what Belgium has done for all that women hold most dear.
In the days to come mothers will tell their children how a small but great-souled nation fought to the death against overwhelming odds and sacrificed all things to save the world from an intolerable tyranny.
