Five hundred refugees arrived at mid
night at the Giardini station two and
a bali miles below on the coast line rail

pour. The feeblest and eldest were
brought up in carriages, hundreds
climbed the steep footpath in utter dark
ness and in fear of the eerie height to
which they were taken. A very few had
bundles of simple clothing, the majority
,nly the clothes they were standing in.
Some had escaped in the night barely
'lothed.
Many had walked continuously for five
lays and nights before reaching the
rain which took eight weary days and
lights to bring them here. 1t was so

Before reaching their trains they en-

odden plains, with ever the horror of the
ursuing Austrians. During this time
antilles became separated, children lost
heir parents and the few little treas
res from their homes were gradually |
ropped aside to make easier their hur-

SHEDEN ANXIOUS
FOR 4ANEX4TION
Wants to Secure the Aland Islands Now
Held By the Government
of Finland.

Stockholm, Feb. l3.-ProposaIs for the
annexation of the Aland islands TO Swe-
den continue a topic of discussion in po-
litical circles here. Counsels of moder-
alton seem to have the upper hand and
even the pro-German newspapers gener-
ally insist that the Alands cannot be oc-
cupied without the preliminary assent
of Finland, though it would be incon-
sistent," says the Dagblad, "for the
Firms to refuse this if the islanders ex-
pressed wish for reunion with Swe.
den"
1t appears, however, that steps in this
direction would not be welcomed in Fin
land, and that even the Swedish section
OF the population Of Finland opposed the
cession of the islands.

boy replied that he was following him.

snow and ice on the ground just under
the caves, and a pair of overshoes stick
ing out.
Selling pickaxes and shovels they went
to work feverishly and at length had the
body OF the little fellow uncovered. Sc

and permission was given for the remoy

of the machines leaping fifty feet
into a river through an opening draw
bridge. The third is three-cornereo
