DOES MUCH GOOD
Red Cross in Italy Is
Praised.
Work Drawing Two Peoples
Closer Together.

Rome. May 1S.-What the Amer1-
can Red Cross has done for the Italian
army and civilians in furthering the
good relations between Italy and the
United States is the topic of a state
ment issued by Thomas Nelson Page,
the American ambassador.
The American people are entitled
to know the results of my observa-
tons of the work of the American Red
Cross in Italy" says the ambassador.
Il have watched it during the past
year with keen interest and have been
delighted. The Red Cross has brought
practical aid to the country, to refu-
gees. to children, to suffering soldiers
and to their families.
Draws Peoples Together.
But above all has been the spirit
in which the work has been done. The
money spent, and the supplies distrib-
uted have been useful beyond estimate
but the spirit in which the Red Cross
has done it's work has seemed to me to
be an Interpretation to Italy of Ameri-
ca as she really is. The work is of the
greatest Importance both in the pres
emit, and for the future, and is draw
ing the two peoples closely together"
