Berlin, August 2S.-(By Wireless to snyviIle. August 2sl-Passengers on the Holland-American line steamer Ryndam, arriving i'm Amsterdam, bring a report that n British transport car- rsinE 2O0O Canadian troops was torpc- doed off the sciily Islands August l5. It is said about 1000 men were saved. No hint has come from British sources of the foregoing report. While British censors might have withheld the news, this is considered unlikely since official announcement was made promptly of the tcrepdoing of the British transport Royal Edward in the Aegean sea, with the loss of about 10000 men. The Royal Edward was sunk August 14. one day before the date mentioned in the Berlin dispatch, and it is believed possible the report
 is a garbled version of this incident. !.

sadly primitive and severe.
The district contains some $3.50
square miles. or is about equal in
size TO the states of Rhode Island and
Connecticut. 1t supports 1000, 600
people. most OF whom make their liv-
'ngs in farming, orchard and vine
culture. and in cattle. sheep and
swine raising. There is considerable
unimportant manufacturing within
the district. but little or no industry.
Rarely beautiful tapestries and hand
made laces are worked in the hilly
villages as home work. Many of the
Abruzzi p%easantry, untaught in the
methods of design and unaided by
any but the simplest mechanical con-
trivances, display the highest order
of artistic appreciation in their hand
lace productions.
Vast forests of oak, beech and pine
cover the jagged mountain groups,
and their ire serves as a feeding
ground for large herds of swine. The
raising of swine and the preparation
of their meat is one of the most inn
portant endeavors of this country,

Italy, the viyacious, seductive thrill

formerly-that is. before the war

and TO compete successfully means to
be a sausage of distinctly superior

There is little fiat land within
Abruzzi, beyond a narrow strip along
100 miles of coast. The uplands and
the hills are used for pasture lands,
the valleys are very fruitful, and are
farmed for olives, rice, almonds.
