ITALIANS DON'T LIKE
CORRESPONDENTS
BY William G.. Shepherd


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Udine, July 3 (by maiD .-Udine is
the Italian front. That is, it is as
near the Italian front as you can
get. And you're not supposed to be
here.
You've journeyed from Paris to
Rome, then from Rome to Venice and
From Venice to this little Italian town
and when you get here you find
you're not welcomed.
Other nations got excited when
their part of the great war started,
but Italy's frenzy outdid them all.
The censorship in Italy was the strict
est, the tie-up of the railroads the
completcst; the silence of the tele
graph and telephone the deepest; the
secrecy the greatest and the abhor
renee of correspondents the most
thorough.
It's for this latter reason that a
soldier meets you at the train. In
some way he has heard that you were
coming. Little does it matter to him
that you have travelled thousands of
miles, that you have spent hundreds
of dollars and scores of hot dusty
hours to get to this place. His duty
is to take you to a certain hotel where
unwelcome persons can visited by the
military police and probed
When you get to the hotel you take
the room the hotel man gives you. In
way you're Il guest; in another way
you're a prisoner. Little difference
does it make that you're an Amer
lean and that the hotel mans brother
is barber in San Francisco and that
hes doing we'll there. The hotel man
is under military rule, too; he must
give you one of the rooms that have
been set off by the military authori-
ties for undesrables.
After you get your baggage into
your room you decide to 90 out and
face the music with the police; it's
better to go to them than to have them
come to you. SO, in a rattly cab, you
start off to the police station. 1t is
Sunday evening, at 7, the streets are
filled with soldiers-hundreds and
thousands of them. They go about
in groups, they laugh, but mostly they
sing. You hear snatches from all
the operas.
Everybody sings tenor; there are
scores of Caruos about. The soldiers
walk through the streets with their
arms about each other; Italian men
are great for arm holding and hug
ging.
The soldiers are huge; it is a picked
regiment; siX-footers are only aver
age. Of all the gatherings have
seen on both sides in the great war
this gathering at Udine was made up
of the biggest men | have seen in
one big group. Among these Italian
soldiers you are in boydom Your
carriage, going through a narrow
street, passes a moving picture the
ater which is Just emptying itself of
soldiers; they're shouting and laugh
ing and gesticulating; you can see
hundreds of pairs of hands waving.
Your carriage comes TO a halt; the
horse is pulling in vain; 20 soldiers
have caught the spokes of the hind
wheels the rear end of the cab kicks
up; the soldiers have Fitted it into the
air; the horse and the cab and you
suddenly shoot forward, so giant
Italian soldiers are pushing the rig

Quarantine Against Pow
dery Scab Removed

The quarantine against seed po-
tatoes from Maine and New York
affected with powdery scab has
been removed. AS result of work
done by the experiment stations,
both in the Northern and Southern
states, it has been shown that the
powdery scab on white potatoes
does not live under Southern condi-
tions. During the past season the
department of plant pathology Of
the Delaware College Experiment
Station sent soil from this state to
Maine, and in this soil were grown
potatoes infected with powdery
scab. The products from these
paintings grown in Delaware soil
did not produce powdery scab.
Likewise, Maine seed potatoes,
thoroughly sick with powdery
scab when planted in soil in the Vi
cinity of Newark, did not develop
the disease under our conditions
These results, together with the re
suits of work carried on at this
Station and other stations, in co
operation with the Bureau of Plan
Industry, have led to the remova
of the quarantine on Maine ant
New York potatoes which has bee!
in existence during the past yea,

nersimmons are unfit to eat until
thew have been touched by frost
As a matter of fact much of the
host fruit is lost each year because
Il rinens and falls to the ground,
where. not being touched by frost
Il is left to rot. Such persimmons
as are not edible before frost
comes are a late variety of fruit,
and the reason that they pucker
the mouth is because they have
not yet ripened. In general the
best fruit ripens just before the
leaves fall. Preserved whole per-
simmons are especially palatable.
A thin layer of sugar should be
nlaced in the bottom of jar; then
a laver of whole ripe persimmons,
then a layer of sugar, and so on
until the jas is full. The sugar
will soon dissolve and form a sy-
rup. The upper fruits should be
messed down under the syrup or
more syrup added to the jars. Seal
and store until used. The syrup
NAV be drained off and the fruits
served like dates, which they will
resemble very much in both ap-
pearance and flavor.
