men.
To do this it was necessary to call
out not only all of her oldest classes
that could possibly be of any service.
but to send also her younger classes
to the front in greater proportion
than any of the other Allies. Italys
class of 1899. comprising the 19-year-
old boys of the nation. were at the
front year before hostilities ceased.

Alderman Dickinson. however,
stated. that II was rumored that all ex.
press employees were TO receive an In.
crease Of $50 . month In SALARY. with
fseveral months back pay. and thai
the raise would compensate for the
loss OF the annual Thanksgiving tur'
key. The express employees here are
