To Change Boundaries of States

IRON time to time proposals are
Il made to change the boundaries of
States. One is the scheme to transfer
part Of western Florida, extending for
$50 miles on the sea coast, to the State
of Alabama, and another project is to
annex the northern neck Of Idaho to the
State of Washington.
In support of the proposed change in
each case the chief argument advanced
is that it would place the region to be
transferred in the State with which it
is most closely allied in interests. Most
Of the business of Pensacola, the lead
ing city of west Florida, is with Alabama.

of our work, for it increased the morale of
an army constantly struggling against
terrific odds. The knowledge that their
families were not in want did much to-
ward giving the troops the strength for
resisting the spring offensive"
That the Italian people have not been
entirely understood by the people of
America and that they possess many
splendid characteristics not formerly at
tributed to them by US, is another of Col.
Perkins's contentious.
"They are nation of people with high
ideals and purposes" he said. 80 accept
aims is, with them, contrary to our gen.
cral ideas, a dishonor. They are willing
to stand shoulder to shoulder, working
toward the goal of freedom, receiving
proper aid from us, but charity in its
narrower definition is not word In their
national code.
"Italy is country of love. Love of
family, love of liberty, is the principle
behind their civilization. The Italians
love their wives and their children better
than anything else in the world. They
cannot fight unless they know that their
loved ones are being taken care of, and
that in way which will not offend their
pride. 1t was the American Red Cross
ability to do this which has woven Italy
and America together in a bond of in
dissoluble friendship and understanding"
Children the Chief Care.
The work is going on. The chief care
of the American Red Cross in Italy is
the children.
"Most of our efforts were and are being
directed toward them," said Col Perkins,
because Italy feels and we feel that its
future lies in the spirit and the strength
of its present generation From
white flour brought from America, white
bread is made for them. This is done
in municipal bakeries under the direc-
ton of the Italian Government. The
bread is then distributed by the American
Red Cross camions to the homes where
there are children or to the children's in
stitutes, many of which have been started
since the disaster of last fall.
Altogether at least 5000 children have
