TOO BUSY TO
REMEMBER NAPOLEON

Port of Errajo, Isle of Elba, Nov. l.
.tCorrespondence)-This island. cele-
bratcd as the place where Napoleon
was imprisoned in 1914. has since
ltaly's entrance into this war attracted
much attention as the source of valu-
able iron mines.
In view of the scarcity Of iron mines
in Italy and the difficulty of transport
ing ore or pigs from the United States
for use in the munition factories the
mines of Elba have given q new i'm
p%ortance to the island. Travellers on
the Genoa-Rome express, which skirts
the seashore of the mainland, permit
ting a view on a clear day of the blue
island rising out of the water, six
miles distant. think rather of the tall
foundry stacks in the foreground at
Piombino than of the great soldier Of
other wars.
In the days before the war this ex-
press stopped at Campiglia, to put off
tourists for Piombino and Elba. To
Gay it stops TO put off business men,
skilled iron workers. Italian soldiers
and their Austrian prisoners interned
on the island. The sidetracks at Cam
piGlia have been enlarged since the
war, too, for the purpose Of handling
the large quantity Of iron freight
brought over from Elba.
Napoleon's name has almost been
forgotten on the island. SO busy are the
inhabitants with war work. How can
] get to the Villa San Martinez" 2
visitor arriving on the stone wharf Of
the ha:bor inquired of a workman. The
workman looked at the visitor blankly.
when the visitor added: You know.
the place where Napoleon used to live"
The man shook his head. I'm a new
conner here. Never heard of the place"
Finally an old native volunteered the
information: It's the house on the
top of the hill there. above the harbor.
Nearly burr up last month when the
woods in back got afire." That was
all. No offer of guides to show the
way to the old villa to the seat on, the
promontory where the baf1ed En-
peror used to silently sit and gaze over
the quiet blue sea, no offer to tell OF
the plans for his escape back TO the
mainland of Europe, previous to the
Hundred Days ending in Waterloo and
Helena.
At the town tobacco shop a bright
eyed little girl, selling the usual stock
Of newspapers and periodicals. when
asked for some picture post cards Of
