JUST A STORY
 FROM ITALY

Associated Press Cores spondence)
 ROME. June.-One of the most ire quent causes of arrests of soldiers of the Italian army is not for drunken or disorderly conduct, but for viola ton of the order that when given leave of absence to visit their homes they shall ride on slow and not eX- press trains Soldiers exert all of their ingenuity to evade the order. They are always in hurry to reach their homes, after many months ab- sence, and as they generally reserve but narrow margin of their leave for the return trip. they are in a hurry to arrive at their posts before it expires.
 Since the reduction recently of fast trains on the railroads, as coal saving measure, the policemen have been stationed on each fast train to prevent soldiers. who ride free, rom lIdNelluS OH tilelu. letttHliy on the RomeFlorence express a po- liceman found big. healthy looking soldier, who, of course, had no paid ticket.
 What are you doing here?" de- handed the policeman.
 I'm going home from the hos pital," answered the soldier.
 You don't look as if you had ever seen the inside of one" the other retorted-
 The soldier silently threw back his cape with his left hand. His entire right arm and shoulder blade were missing.

 A multitude of dead lay tonight in the ruins of homes buried under two feet of snow. When the physically exhausted searchers suspended for a brief period their sickening task, 1000 bodies had been recovered and the end is not in sight Only once before was the work in terrupted. That was last night when blizzard swept in from the north with a force that could not be re- sisted
 Today the sun heartened the sol diers and sailors and sent them in droyes to the devastated zones
 Each hour their effort brought it's added burden to the morgues. At the morgues soldiers arranged the bodies for the view of intending streams Of l bereayed
 Many funerals were held even dur ing the heavy storm. Men of the naval forces dragged the water front today and recovered the bodies of 200 sailors, soldiers and workmen
 in the married men quarters, about 160 women and children were reported killed, missing and badly wounded Thirteen sailors and petty officers were killed on the Canadian cruiser Niobe. Fifteen other men are missing and cannot be traced
 The outstanding fact that has been faced by the authorities with a cour- age that challenges the admiration oi their kinsman from the sousa of the border, is that 20,O00 persons are des- titute and of the number perhaps one out of seven is suffering from in- iuries which in many cases are bound to prove fatal
