RED CROSS BULLETIN

at c in the morning; the next day, at the same time, others-some of these last remain in Palermo. Both morn ings. the American Red Cross workers met the trains
 HUDDLED LIKE SHEEP
 The refugees, huddled like sheep in the first glare of the early morn ing, had travelled for eight days. It had been difficult to obtain water. Some were using what was left in the bottles, stangnant and warm, in an effort to wash hands and faces of lit- tie children; as we'll as the older ones. The climate of Sicily at this time of the year is hot and very unlike the fresh air of their own hills. Some of the older women crept away by them selves to sit on the steps of the other trains or on the edge of the platforms buried their heads in their hands, and let tears fall without trying to keep to keep them back. Young mothers were weeping in the cars with babies in their arms. A priest was trying to reconcile two angry old ladies outside their compartments, with their diffi- cult lot. There was a group of sym pathetic fellow sufferers about them
 And yet, the sadness of 1t all was relieved by occasional bits of humor. One woman had brought a huge goose all the way from Veneto; how she managed to feed it and care for it must ever remain a mystery. Another woman came out of her compart- ment in the train for little exer- else, with her brood of II children tied together with a rope And even all this misery, and bewilderment of Flight could not entirely snuff out the happy nature of some of these Ital- ians. Just as the baskets were fi- nally emptied for the last time, and the work of the morning was done, a little group on the platform gave a note of cheer. A little refugee girl sat on bag waiting to move on with the group remaining in Palermo. She hugged in her arms little brown dog, her shawl partly wrapped around him. The dog was as contented as if he had been sitting in his familiar door, way in Veneto. He looked with gen. tie and trustful eye on all passersoy. The little girl smiled as she saw the ad- hiring glances given her pet, The young mother, who was near, smiled also. The sun of Italy was in her eyes. Her face was bright with, light that could not be dimmed even by this unhappy adventure-the light of hope brightening the pale morning.

Chocolate was ready in baskets, with trays of cigarettes and post cards And when the American Red Cross representa- lives, the women members in white aprons and veils, went out from the canteen to the platform as 1t pulled into the station and walked down into the black darkness. looking like spec tres of light as they moved. Every thing was still, a stiffness almost un- broken for 3 time, and it seemed the merciful thing to not awaken anyone from sleep. Then a head here and there mere outline, appeared at windows. The committee and the Red Cross rep resentatives scattered to different parts of the train and began to ask, ''quante bambini?" ''quante personnel" The an- .swers came sometimes "quattro," "cinque," but oftener 'undici." 'quin- dici," and even "seidici" One wondered how it was possible to, crowd them all in. Eager hands reached down for chocolate-old hands. young hands and even baby fingers. The night merci- fully hid tear-stained faces and tired ones. Then the train was shunted 10 another track and the workers went back to the canteen to wait until they could finish the distribution. These
 
 were very hungry. for wartime travel is full of delays and difficulties There arc few places along the railroad in Sicily no~ where anything Can be bought for food. It was creeping into gray dawn when the American Red Cross representatives went out to fins ish their task.
 With the Red Cross members was a young refugee girl from the same part of the country as these wanderers. She had come to Palermo several months ago. Runior had come that her home town had been evacuated. Eagerly she peered into every compartment, searching faces, hoping that some would be familiar. But she learned thdt the people from her native tow n had been sent to Florence The light revealed much more of the misery and discomfort of these poor travellers. The committee was busy with bags Of bread and caldrons of coffee. One saw into the compartments. saw the pitiful iit- tie bundles and sacks which contained all they could bring with them of their homes.

PALERMO REFUGEE CENTER

4 dASliuO lo OilG OI Itdly s cu16I TeIuEGo centers. One would suppose that the great stress of a big attack and sub sequent. Italian victory would be. borne only in the front line trenches. But. as matter of fact, the echo of the strife rings throughout Italy; every town has it's share of the work that brings suc- cess and glory. Palermo, like every oth- CT city in pathetic, united Italy, offers it's facilities to those victims of war who are compelled to leave the front when the heavy fighting makes the whole area in the neighborhood of the lines unsafe. In the latter part of June, when the Italian soldiers were resolute- ly driving the enemy across the Piave, Palermo was a gathering and distribut- ing place for refugees. And in this work, the aid of the American Red Cross is indispensable and the activity of it's representatives is ceaseless.
 When refugees going from one place to another in western Sicily pass through Palermo a message comes from the refugees committee to the Red Cross officers at Palermo. And Amer ica's representatives are always ready with hot coffee from their kitchens, bars of chocolate for the women and children, cigarettes for the men and the postal card decorated with Italian and American flags that all the people, of whatever age or sex, are glad to receive. For there is some soldier member of each and every family, anx- iously waiting in the trenches to hear of the safety of his mother or his sis- ter or his aged father. An immense number of these brief messages of com fort are sent on American Red Cross post cards.
 This service means being awakened at midnight and goihg out into Ahe night: it means that all those who serve at the canteen must stay on until late in the morning. thus making more than 24 hours without sleep. But it is the sort of service that symbolizes the Red Cross work of friendship and aid in TtaJy

MISS 0l[T TELLS 0F
 ' " [. A. WORK AT H0NE ND ABROAD
N ar Has pened Up Wide Variety of Employment for Women, Says Direc-
 tor of War Fund

Miss Mary F. s. Colt director for the southeastern department of the Y. w. C.. A. for the war fund campaign, was in Birmingham yesterday attending the regional conference of the library as sociation of the southeastern division. Miss Colt made an interesting talk re garding the work of the Y. w. c. A, both in the United States and in France.
 Eighty-two hostess houses have been established at various military and naval camps, where relatives of soldiers and sailors may visit their boys, while 13 for negro soldiers have also been opened. These hostess houses are proving most successful and a large number of oth- CTS have been ordered. War service centers and room registries in cities em- ploying girls in war industries have been opened under the auspices of the Y. w. c. A. in p of the government indus trial cantonments.
 Although the overseas department of this branch of service is only six months old 19 centers for American nurses, nine for French women and three for Russian women have been established. These cen- ters- provide social workers, recreation leaders, physical directors and cafeteria managers, foyers and hostess houses.
 ''The war has opened to women variety of employments hitherto re- garded exclusively as mems work, and of the 10,000,000 women at work to- day ia the United States" said Miss Colt. 100000 are engaged on swar orders for the direct support of the men at the front, while 100000 more women are working in other indus tries affected by the war These wom en are taking the places of the men who have gone to the front, and it is up to the people at home to help the second line of defense, or the women behind the men who are behind the guns Those are very good slogans for the work heinz done by the women.
 WOMEN AT WORK
 More than 100000 women in Eng land are working in the factories, re- placing men who are at the front and many of them are doing highly skilled work, while many are engaged upon exceedingly dangerous tasks in the manufacture of high explosives.
 The patriotic league has grown out of this war work, and there are now 100000 women enrolled, and among other things done by the Y. W. c. A. are the establishing of club and recrea- tion work for girls; providing emer- gency housing for employed girls and women, war work in colored communi- ties; conducting a bureau for foreign born women, providing translation in IS languages; providing social leaders for women, under the direction of the war department commission on train ing camp activities; maintaining bu- reau of social morality; publishing a war work bulletin, and other educa- tiona1 literature for women in war time. and maintaining a bureau of vol unteer workers, and engaged in many other war work activities
