 instruments so typical of Venice. Their
 programme consists of rendition of pop-
 ular melodies.
 The new Lyric bilf was enjoyed bv

EIGHTEEN YEARS ON ISLAND
Experience Of Indian Woman Makes
That Of Robinson crusoe Appear a
Mere Incident.

1t would appear that Alexander Sell
kinks brief stay on Juan Fernandez
island was trivial, either In the hard
ships endured or the difficulties over
come, compared with that Of woman
on an island opposite the Californian
peninsula.
1t seems that the Catholic fathers
at Santa Barbara were once transport
ing the natives Of the island Of st.
Nicholas to the mainland. Among
them was q mother who discovered
that her babe had been left behind.
She begged that the vessel might be
put back, but the captain refused.
She then leaped into the sea TO swim
ashore, but as storm prevailed, oil
on board thought she was drowned.
Eighteen years afterward company
landed on the island. They found
traces Of life, and after long search
discovered the woman and took her
with them. The poor woman never
found her babe, but had managed to
live in comparative comfort, though
very lonely. After her long life In the
open, she could not endure the confine-
ment Of house, and soon slckened

RED CROSS SUPPLIES.

The varied character of the supplies
which the American Red Cross pro-
yides for American soldiers and sail
Ors is shown in the following list of
articles furnished In one recent month
to our fighting men in Great Britain !:
10000 sweaters, 10000 tOothbrushes,
$4,000 pairs of socks, $4,000 pounds of
soap, 100000 boxes of matches, 500
baseball outfits, 500 mouth organs,
144,00O packages Of chewing gun,
5O00,000 cigarettes. For handling
these supplies, the Red Cross has sew
en- warehouses I'm England and six in
Ireland. At the Irish stations there
are stores of clothing, first aid outfits
and other necessaries to provide
amply for any emergency which muy
arise through the torpedoing of ships
carrying American soldiers Or sailors.
If necessary, 5000 shipwrecked Amer
leans could be Outtitted from head to
foot at one time from these emergency
depots. Advance arrangements have
also been made for billeting, housing
and feeding any number of men who
might unexpectedly be landed at ports
where there are no British military
camps.

the FIRST SQUARE MEAL
How Red Cross Has Fed Italian
Prisoners.

Last spring the Red Cross workers
at Berne were busy arranging to care
for the American soldiers who were
taken prisoners by the Germans, and
now the new exchange agreement
means that Italians from Austria on
their way back to Italy are being
cared for in hundreds. They are pa

hopelessiy wounded men-but they are
always delighted with the prospect of
going home, even though 1t may be

The method employed is this: The
Italian Government sends a train into
Austria through Switzerland to gather
up the men released under the ex-
change agreement. The train crosses
the Swiss border and ut Buchs Is met
by delegations from the allied Red
Cross organi iations. and under the
present plan the food is furnished by
the American Red Cross. TO many of
these men this is the first square meal
that they have had for years. Cloth
ing Is also furnished them. Each man
of the 800 which each train carries Is
given cigarettes and small American
flag, and many who have been in
America, some Of whom have taken
out their first papers, are overJoyed a.

demonstrative In their delight
The representatives of the Red Cross
remain on the train until it reaches
Zurich, then return to Switzerland
again.
1t is the food which America has
sent over which gives to these men
their first meal--food which has been
saved by eating smaller portions. and
by going without.
