the king down to the most lowly sub
Ject. In accepting. in behalf OF the Ital.
ian nation, the ship which the American
people, through the Red Cross, fitted
up to mitigate the distress of the suf-
ferers in the south, the king said to
Ambassador Griseom:
Our people will be delighted to hear
of this mark of international humani-
tarianism, and will follow with the
keenest interest the work of mercy
