Italy's First Girl Skipper,
Signorina Elise Belluomini

Paris.-Elise Belluomini, a pretty
Italian girl. whose home is at Via
reggie. enjoys the honor of being
the first regularly appointed captain
in her country's merchant marine.
Her dreams as a child followed
the picturesque sailing ships, which
she watched from the outpost beside
the blue Tyrrhenian Sea, and grad
ually her musings transformed
themselves into a determination to
become a sailor. ...... ..
The good folks of Viareggio look
ed askance at her when she first
spoke of her resolution, and the old
er and more superstitious of the pop
ulation did not hesitate to declare
her possessed by the devil.
Persisting in her idea, however,
Elise gained the ear of a veteran sea
captain. through whose intermedi-
ary she obtained a recommendation
to the naval authorities at Leghorn
and eventually she was allowed to
follow the course at the Nautical
College.
The girl made astonishingly rap
id progress in her studies. mastering
easily the most complicated prob
lens of navigation. and she has just
obtained her captains certificate.
Signorina Belluomini relates her
success in a letter to a Paris cor
respondent, and seems to have to
doubt of her ability to inspire conf
dence in her crew. She writes:
Where shall be sent? 1 do not
know, but I am ready for every
thing. l join the marine in troubled
times. and 1 know seamen risk their
lives every day.
Long live Italy. down with Ger
many"

"Oh, Boy, This Is
Gods Country!" -"

New York, April 30.-"Oh, bov,
but this is Gods country! It's
great to be back"
One of Pershing's veterans he
was, veteran fully 10 years old,
who had been gassed and bombed
and shelled in France. Tin hat
on the back of his head. gun
slung from his shoulder, brown
of face and lean with the lean
ness that means steel muscles and
nerves inside, he swung easily
along with his forty-nine compan-
ions UP Broadway to the City
Hall.
And as he walked he looked
from side to side where people
stood on the sidewalks and jam
med into the streets. stood on
tiptoe and yelled and waved their
handkerchiefs and hats or nearly
fell from the windows of big Office
buildings to get glimpse of him
below, for as far as the eye could
, see over the sills were heads
shouting welcome. The boy look
ed at them and then grinned, a
slow, pleased, utterly happy grin.
oh. boy, but this is Gods
country" he said again.

1t begins to look as though The
people who set the Harrisburg quota
for the Boy Scouts at $4,000 am
dere~timated the ability of these
young fellows. Their quota until
last night was $22,350 and they've
only been working since Saturday
morning. This morning one enter

businessman in the street to the tune
of a $4,000 subscription.

CROWDER ASKS
THAT YOUTHSOF
q BE MOVED UP
House Would Delay Calling
Young Men For Service
in the War
BY Associated Press

Washington, April 80. - Provost
Marshal General Crowder to-day re-
quested Congress to eliminate from
the bill extending the draft to youths
now Fl years of age. the amend
ment putting at the bottom of the
eligible list those who would register
under the measure and asked that
the bill basing draft quotas on the
number of men in class l be amend
cd to make its operation retroactive.
General Crowder made this re-
quest in letters to the chairmen of
the Senate and House military COM
mittees OF the proposal to put the
new registrants at the bottom of the
list of eligibles General Crowder
said:
Proposes Fairer Plan
THE plan proposed by this office
would result in these registrants be-,
ing given order numbers scattered
throughout the entire lists of order
numbers. This seems to be fairer
than the plan proposed by the
amendment. The result of the House
amendment in many jurisdictions
will be to delay the calling of these
young men for a considerable time.
In the meantime their status will
have changed, they will have mar
ried or become integrated with the
industries of the country.
Moreover, it establishes a prece-
dent, provided aliens are registered
under the provisions of the new leg
islation based upon treaties to be
negotiated"
