ITALIAN SOLDIERS
SEND BACK MILLIONS
TO THEIR FAMILIES
nv Assnciated Pressl

HEADQUARTERS OF THE TIA.
LIAM ARMY, Oct 20.-The soldiers
each month send home to their fami-
lies cut of their pay four and a quar-
ter million dollars, according to the
army postoffices statistics. This fact
is attributed to the economic DISPOSE
ton of the individual soldier and also
to the abundant army ration which
makes it unnecessary for him to buy
private supplies of wine, tobacco, or
food
why, they wake us up in the morn
ing to drink glass of rum" said
one enthusiastic Alpini.
The total cost of the daily war zone
ration is about rs cents, according to
the Changes in the wholesale market
prices. But the high cost of living
felt in the homes never affects the
quantity allotted the soldier.
The total quantity of the ration is
1860 grams or slightly over four
pounds, with an additional allowance
of 300 grams during priods of hard
work or fighting. The daily bread of
the soldier weighs one and one-half
pounds, with two pounds on special
occasions. His daily drink consists
of half pint of wine, with full pint
in bad weather or during periods OF
hard labor.
The other items in his ration are
meat, sugar, coffee, lard, potatoes or
beans, salt. pepper, cheese, figs, cho-
colate, dry figs and cake.
