ROME. Sept 17.-tBy Mai)-The
Italian government is completing in
stallation of an American military hos
pital at the famous Italian springs of
MontecatinL between Florence and Pisa.
Several leading hotels of the resort
have been requisiuoned. and American
wounded from the Italian front will be
taken there for cOnvalescence.
The Italian government thus has fol-
lowed in a general way the example set
by France in taking the famous resort
of Aix-les- bains for an American hos
pital base in France
Back of the choice of Montecatini for
the American hospital base in Italy lies
another important motive. 1t is desir-
ed to make the American medical pro-
fession and the public generally ac-
quainted with the Montecatini springs
so that after the war Italy may begin
sharp competition with the German
spas
Although the water of Montecatini
have been famous in italy since the
time of the early Romans. very little
has been done to make them known.
They are the only springs in the
world that can compete in every way
with those of Karlsbad and other Ger
man watering places to which hundreds
Of thousands of people used to flock
from all parts of the world every. year.

lives of the father. mother and babe.
The mother succumbed to the fatal
malady a few days ago. the father is
in a diving state and there was left a
babe of one month for no one to care
for it, In the immediate neighbor-
hood there are none who could very
well offer to assume such RESPONSE
bility SO there was a scurying around
by the nurse who understood the sit
uation keenly to find reliable people
who would take the little innocent
darling into their home and be pre-
pared to care for it, An appeal was
to appear today in the issue of this
paper seeking home for the mite of
humanity. but the condition in the
abode of the dying father and unsat-
isfactory atmosphere for the babe who
was beginning to show its neglect
brought about quick response from q
family in East Chicago who were ask
ed by Miss Florence Hauswald, the
nurse, to take the little one This
is but one Of the many cases brought
TO light. which makes the Welfare As

OUTSIDE Of ZONE
FOOD IS SCARCE
Am. Women Saving Food
for Allies Get Shock,
Later Explained.

Many American women who have. at
the request Of the food administration.
expended much energy and ingenuity in
their efforts to save food for the allies.
have had rude shock when their sons
or husbands have written them from
France that there was no such thing as
a food shortage over there; that they
could get all the food they wanted
and that this idea of saving food for
starving France was nonsense.
These letters are written in good
faith, we are sure, and what they say
Is true-of the small part Of France
which the average American sees. And
as few Americans ever go outside of
the military zone they ina sine that
what they say is true of France as
whole. and never know what great
wrong they are doing the rest of the
country
The military zone. a fairly wide belt
extending the length Of the battle lire.
is plentifully supplied with food. it is
true. If you are willing to pay a suf-
fciently high price you can get about
anything YOU want. The presence of
millions and millions of soldiers in this
zone. and their willingness to pay the
most exorbitant prices for food-espe-
eially is this true of the American sol
dler-has caused a phenomenal flow of
foodstuns TO this part of France. which
has left the rest of the country drained
dry.
Conditions outside the area under
military control, which after all is a
very small part of France. are very bad.
The civilian population must pay the

they must go without. In the industrial
centers almost everyone is engaged in
war work. and. receiving high wages.
can keep up with the high cost of living
But in the smaller towns and all through
the country districts the people fare
very badly indeed.
They can no longer afford butter or
cheese; and meat is now beyond their
highest aspirations. Even potatoes. upon
which they could depend in the past. are
50 high in price owing to the bad crop
this year. that many people cannot buy
them at all.
Practically the only food which every
body can afford is bread. for the price
of bread has been kept low by a govern
ment subsidy. Bread. however, is ra-
toned. and the ration is far from suf-
feient to make up for the lack of other
foods. Moreover. the fact that bread is
rationed. and that each person has
card emitting him 10 10 ounces day.
does not mean that when he presents his
ticket at the door of the bakery he is
sure to receive 10 ounces In many
places last summer the ticket brought
in exchange only half the promised
quantity-and in other places none at
all.
