phia among hundreds of families. She
picks rags from barrels and when the
barrels do not contain any rags she hands
out pennies to the housewives for old
ribbons and other rags. Mrs. Capania is
the custodian of the rags.
Gallons of hot soup made out of fine
peas. tomatoes, parsley, onions, meat and
other things were distributed from ii
until o'clock. Beside the soup each ap-
plicant received a large loaf of bread
Some of the applicants received three
cans of soup because there were several
members in the family who were hungry.
The headquarters of the Moyamensing
Soup Society are located in an oldfash-
ioned brick building. There is an en-
trance on Montrose street and another
entrance on Sth street. Long lines stood
outside of both entrances today. In the
crowd were many wives of men who are
now fghting with the Italian armies. The
husbands left this country soon after
Italy entered the war. What little money
was left behind in the banks has melted
away.
Mrs. II. Wilcox and her assistant, Mrs.
l.. Stoneman, are in charge of the soup
rooms. Mrs. Wilcox prepares the soup.
She recently returned from n trip from
California, where she had gone to visit
her son. 1t was Mrs. Wilcox's intention
to remain in Southern California for
several months. But when the cold
weather began here sne made her visit
in California short and hastened back
to dear old Sth and Montrose streets"
as she calls the neighborhood of the soup
society.
The present plan is to have the soup
rooms open until about the latter part of
next March. If contributions como in
more rapidly the workers said they would
distribute hot soup all day long.
Mrs. Seata received her soup and sew
eral loaves of bread. AS she started to
walk back to her rag shop she said:
"Grazie, Erazie. EraZle" which are
Italian words for thanks"
HAPPY IN HER WORK.
"I find more enjoyment in preparing
said Mrs. Wilcox, than in going to
ance at any of the leading theatres
soup all day long. But VIC can't do
funds on hand. We could use more
away is healthful and nourishing. We
have had many wealthy presons come
here and taste some of the pea soup and
then come back again for some more"
Twenty minutes after the doors had
been opened "the Terror of Little Italy"
was seen standing outside of the head
quarters. mere was a smile on his face
THAT soup was better than all the
chocolate candy 1 ever had in me life,"
he said.

Progressive Republicans to Have Can

At the recent Progressive Republi-
can conference held in WATERFOWL for
the First assembly district of Jeffer-
son county, it was determined that
a Progressive candidate for a member
of the assembly of this district should
be placed in the field for the coming
election. The said candidate will
have the solid support of the Progress
sive Republicans of this district. 1t
was the consensus of the conference
that such a candidate should be true
representative of the people of this
district, and not representative of
few big interests at the tax payers
expense Who will be the probable
candidate is not as yet determined,
but a man of the above type from
Watertown might be acceptable to
the Progressives. Various names
have been mentioned for prospective
candidates but none as yet have de-
cided to make the run. This matter,
however, will be decided upon in the
near future

TROOPS PASS
THROUGH THIS CITY
A REMINDER THAT SPANISH WAR
ENDED EIGHTEEN
YEARS AGO.
Khaki Clad Boys Present Cheerful
Faces While ON Way to Strepg-
then Border Army.

Does history repeat itself? Ever
since Saturday American troops have
been moving steadily toward the Dor
der. Sunday night a large troop
Of khaki clad boys from Camp Doug
las passed through the city on their
way to fight for their country's honor.
The light before fourteen coaches
laden with soldiers and fifteen fat
cars with field pieces also went thru
the city. The men stuck their heads
out of the windows and told the on:
lockers what they were going to do
to the "Greasers" if that chance ever
comes. Some were singing songs
while others satisfied the curiosity of
the onlookers by watching out of the
windows. One thing was evident.
They were all cheerful. None dread
ed the outcome of the EXPEDITION. They
were going to a foreign country to
fight Eighteen years ago today
through the efforts of the fathers of
some of these soldiers the Spanish
American war came to an end On
shat memorable day the Spanish
squadron, commanded by Admiral
Cervera steamed out of the harbor in
an attemept to escape the blockade
of the Americans. His attempt to es-
cape resulted In the annihilation of
his fleet.
The American admiral, Sampson,
had laid a stringent blockade, frus-
trating all attempts on the part of the
Spaniards to escape at night. Things
became so bad though that Cervera
resolved to escape at day. The Span
lard fleet appeared at the harbor of
Santiago between 9:35 and 10 a. M,
July 8. An arc about eight miles long
had been formed by the American YES
sells. The New York" was the first
to sight the Spaniards. The rest of
the fleet were notified and within a
few minutes the Brooklyn" and the
Texas" opened fire. The fight lasted
until 1:20 in the afternoon when the
last of Cervera's fleet went down.
Considering the battle it was miracu-
lous that the Americans only had one
killed and one wounded.
The bravery of the Americans was
shown in their attempts at rescuing
the drowning Spaniards. This was
done at great risk for the Spanish
ships were burning fore and aft, their
guns and reserve ammunition was ex-
ploding and it was not known at what
moment the fire would reach the main
magazines. In addition a heavy surf
was running inside of the Spanish
ships. But no risk deferred the Off
GERS and men until their work was
finished.
So we wish that the khaki clad boys
who passed through the city last
night will completely annihilate the
Mexicans if that time ever does arise,
as was done eighteen years ago today
at Santiago.
