RED CROSS AID IN ITALY
WINS DIPLOMATS PRAISE
Ambassador Page Says TIN Spirit
Overshadows Even the Good
Work Done.

ROME. May 14.-what tho American
Red Cross has done for the italian army
and civilians in furthering the good re-
lations between Italy and the United
States is the topic Of a statement is
sued by Thomas Nelson Page, the
American ambassador.
"The American people are entitled to
know the results Of my observations of
the work of tho American Red Cross in
Italy" says the ambassador. II have
watched it during the last year with
keen interest and have been delighted.
The Red Cross has brought practical
aid to the army. to refugees. to chill
dren. to suffering soldiers and to their
families.
But above all has been the spirit in
which the work has been done. The
money spent and tho supplies distribute
ed have been useful beyond estimate,
but the spirit in which tho Red Cross
has done its work has seemed to me an
Interpretation to Italy of America as
she really is. I believe the work is OF
the greatest Importance both in the
present and for the future, and is
drawing the two peoples closely to-
gether."
