MMM My Has Bm M lie Wif : ; The more spectacular operations of some of the other Allies have partly obscured Italy's part in the present war in the eves of the American public. Italy's anomalous position in being at war " with Austria and at peace with Germany has, besides, produced distrust in some of the allied capitals, and the warinth of feeling evoked by Italy's siding with the Entente has given way to a chilled current of doubt and suspicion. Many are asking the question " Why has Italy not declared war on Germany? " or "Why has she not joined France and England in their expeditions in the Near East? " In THE LITERARY DIGEST for March 18th there is a very illumi nating article consisting of excerpts from the British press and translations from French and Italian papers which bring out in a strong light the very important part that Italy has played and is playing in the war. Other leading articles that will make this number of "The Digest" of, great interest are: Villa's Raid The, Voice ol tbe American Press on the Mexican Sitaatton INDICATE J1KW SAN IMI-tt.O FAIR Pan Delgo, Cal., March It.
