CHILDREN COLONY
FOR BELGIAN BABES
More Safe and Comfortable Quar-
tiers Being Prepared for Them

British Headquarters in France,
Oct. % Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Press)-Several hundred Bel
gian children who are now living in
the danger zone close to the fighting
lines in the immediate future will be
established in safe and comfortable
quarters in a colony Of their own,
This is being prepared by the Ameri-
can Red Cross at certain places in free
Belgium. Sections for ten barracks
were shipped from Paris yesterday
and under the supervision of Messrs.
Bicknell and Van Schaick these will
be set up at once, and the little folk
moved in.
Here they will be given comforts
which they have not known since the
Germans overran Belgium, and in adj
dition will be placed under competent
teachers, who will pick up the broken
threads of their education. Six thou
sand Belgian children already have
been sent to homes in various parts of
France, and there are many more
who are being shelled, bombed and
gassed almost every day, and should
be taken away to safer quarters.
The new Red Cross colony is being
established to meet the growing de-
mand for refuge on Belgian soil

CONFIDENCE IN ITALY.
Barber Believes AuStro- Germans Will
Be Checked.

Il don't think the Austrians can
ever go through Italy" said William
Martenilli, the North street barber,
while commenting on the war today.
Martenilli, who is a native of Italy,
WAS born in Massa Superior, a short
Instance from the Italian battle front.
This part of Italy, says the barber, is
The richest part of the country, there
being fine lands and beautiful towns.
Two large rivers flow through it and
dt will be difficult for the Germans
and Austrians to continue their
march. The land, says the barber
can be flooded for miles by cutting
these rivers and it would be q very
easy matter to drown the Huns at
this point.
The Pc. which is one of the rivers
is 500 miles long and has 90 branches
and is quarter of a mile wide. The
other, the Aedece, is not quite so wide.
but the water is strong and rapid.
For three years the North street
barber served in the Italian army and
also served Il short time with the
United States army during the Span
ish- American war

this demand One is that the Belgian
authorities like to hold together what
is left of Belgium as much as pos
sible. The wonderful hospitality of
Allied countries is appreciated, but the
sentiment is strong for tho retention
in Belgium of as many people as prac-
ticable. Another very vital factor is
the fact that mothers are reluctant
to let their children go so far away
that they cannot visit them. To meet
all these demands the Red Cross is
establishing the colony in the safest
place available in free Belgium, where
it will be possible for parents to sec
their children often.
Education will be in the hands of
the nuns, but numerous advanced
ideas suggested by the Red Cross will
be included in the curriculum. One
thing which has pleased the little
Belgians has been the Introduction OF
Institutional games in the various
homes. A short time ago a car load
of games was sent to the Belgian
asylums in France and beneficial re-
, suits were noted Immediately. The
! same system will be employed in the
new colony. The idea is to interes
! the children in sports which will no
! only amuse them but train then
! mentally and physically.
| The Belgian authorities are givin'
! the heartiest support to the Rec
! Cross The Queen is deeply interested
! in the new work, and is making {
; special study of American educationa
! methods. A plan for the establish
! ment of warehouses in which reserve
| foodstuffs may be stored is beins
worked out rapidly Three sectiona
| warehouses have been set up already
| and six more will be on the way from
Paris soon A considerable amour
of food has been purchased for TIN
