HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY,
May 6 (by mail).—Arrival of relief
from America through the Red Cross
agents behind the Italian front along
the Piave river, which section is filled
with refugees from the regions in
vaded by Teutonic troops, is greeted
with evidences of fervent gratitude
! and jubilation. This is true not only
h because of the actual gifts in money
i- and food but because it signifies to
the Italians the fact that America is
standing behind them in their long
1 conflict with the Austrian invaders.
TJie aged priest at Castello-di-God
ega was so overcome by the unex
pected donations from America' that
he threw up his arms, knelt in prayer
and exclaimed, “It is a gift from
heaven.”
Wherever the Red Cross workers
have distributed their relief, the mayor
and local committee directed the suc
cored families of that commune to
write to the soldiers at the front and
tell them what America had done. The
work of the Americans was extolled
and the people were told that the
United States was thus co-operating
in close and practical accord with
Italy.
» I In some cases huge posters have
.1 appeared on the town walls with proc
lamations by the mayor announcing
what America was doing.
The misery which prevails among
the refugees in the provinces of Tre
viso, Vcnotia and Padua is most dis
tressing. Stopping at the little town
of Riesi, in a tour of this section, there
was a chance to see some of the com
munities of refugees in all their mis
ery. It is a strange community, which
has migrated as a whole from its
former home at Vidor, now held by
the enemy, to its present habitation
• of Riosi. Vidor is the village on the
. east bank of the Piave which was oc
cupied by General von Buelow and his
German troops, and when they came
these townspeople, with only the
clothes on their backs and a few
household belongings, fled across the
Piave and settled down here. Most of
the refugees have scattered all over
Italy, but this is one of the few
towns that has held together in its
fllpVit
The parish priest led the way as;
the Red Cross workers went on a
round of inspection to see how these
people were living. The mayor and
the parish priests are usually con
l suited on this work, the latter be
cause he is in touch with all the
troubles. Most of the people are re
ligious, when they are in trouble, and
everyone is in trouble here. They
all knew him, and he made his way
through crowds of ragged children and
the choked alleys of what would have
been a concentration camp if it had
been organized, but being unorganized
was only a vast hive of refugees in
their misery.
In one room about fifteen feet
square, 25 people were sleeping on
straw strewn over the earthen floor.
The place was stuffed with soiled gar
ments, the pitiful remnants of what
these occupants possessed, and reeked
with vileness. Across the court there
was a smaller room where thirteen
were sleeping, and in another eight
all huddled together on the straw, wo
men, children, babies, and their rags.
All the outhouses, barns, grain lofts,
were utilized for sleeping quarters.
There were few young men, for all
the men have gone to war, except
the very old and very young.
Many of the women were very old,
with wizened, hungry faces like
witches. A number of the women
carried babies, and all of them were
trailed by large broods of children.
All these people had lost everything.
Their clothes were in rags. Under
clothes and stockings had long ago
disappeared. Even the consolation of
work was denied to these people, for
there wag nothing for them to do
here, and they stood about with their
crowds of children and babies, fight
ing to keep off hunger and typhoid,
and helpless in their misery.
As a result of the Inspection the
Red Cross has started the work o
ameliorating this condition, providing
suitable sleeping quarters, with sani
tation and the nucleus of a hospital
for the growing sick list.
The secretary of the Noria munici
pality said all the barns there were
fairly packed with people, thirty or
more to every barn, filling the stalls
and lofts. The mayor of Castello di
Codega said the spirit of the farm
people was showing remarkable forti
tude in spite of the troubles they were
encountering. "They are going to
carry on their planting as usual,” he
said, gathering the spring clover and I
then putting in corn.”
NONOGENfiRfUN’S METHOD
FOR ATTAINING LONGEVITY
.«• I
LONDON, June 22.—Newspapers
here devoted much space to chron
icling the death at Belfast of Samuel
Young, aged 96, an influential mem
ber of parliament. An Irish Nation
alist, he probably was the oldest mem
ber, it is stated, the house of com
mons ever had.
Mr. Young entered parliament at
the age of 70, in 1892. At Belfast
he had amassed a large fortune as a
distiller. He lived during the reigns
of five English sovereigns.
King Edward asked him on one oc
casion how at his age he could stand
the long hours of parliament. "I hope
to live,” he replied, “to see your
majesty open the Irish parliament in
Dublin.”
A few years ago he was asked the
secret of attaining a ripe old age. “I
haven’t got one,” he gaily replied. “I’ve
never bothered about my health at
all. I am not a teetotaler. I smoke.
I eat what I enjoy.”
TO ENCOURAGE FRIENDSHIP
CHRISTIANIA, June 24.—As a proof
of the growth of good-feeling between
Norway and the entente powers, there
will be started next month a new
monthly called the Atlantis. The pur
pose, as stated in its prospectus, is
“to further economic and cultural re
lations with the United States, Eng
land and France.”
