.CkNTEENS SERVING
U. S. TROOPS IN ITALY

The American Red Cross canteens,
which serve at railroad stations, i'm
portant points on highroads, and in
towns and villages throughout the
Italian zone of war, are now serving
American troops. These canteens
have been operating during the past
six months for the benefit of the Ital-
ian army and It's allies, greeting the
soldiers in their passage from one
point to another with coffee and
American crackers and jam. But it
is only recently that the khaki-clad
fighters from across the sea have been
added to the number of those served
at the Red Cross rest stations
