Hunger. cold, tilthiness, insults and blows-theN have suffered everything.
 When they arrived in the concen- traitor camps they were easily roc ognized as the prisoners of Copo- rctto' by the suffering figures which they presented. On these masses which had suffered and had been weakened so much death threw itself with the most furious ferocity.

Next 1all. when new winter outfits are diStrIj'- uted, the men will turn over to the department tho uniforms they are now wearing. Nothing is thrown away and, as result. the camps throuGhout the country have a large store of old uniforms and other wear which must be repaired for '1So for rough work either at Cantonments or across the water. The renovation of old uniforms recently was started by the reclamation department at Comp Upton but the work is not going on with sufficient rap1ditN.

 Wantcd--A Shoe Factory.
 The remote little village of Canjcat- tini PaGni. in the interior ot SI"l!N, seems a queer place for a shoe fac tory. especially one belonging to Am. erican manufacturers but there iS q factory of workers just waiting there who would be glad enough if some body from Massachusetts should turn up and shattcr the soft Italian dtr with daily factory whistle.
 The Sicilians are mostly farmers and mostly poor. but since the Ger mans drove into Italy refugees from inc north, a"cnst omed to work ir fac tories and little adapted to filling the fields. have poured down into the lit the Sicilan villages where their pres ence creates a serious problem. -Nn American woman, pr. l.. M. Alfieri, has been discovered by the American Red Cross struggling with this prob lem. She has opened hospital and distributed garments and food, the Fed Cross sending. a trained nurse 10 helO her.

 Hot Soup For Refugees.
 Until a representative of the Amer iCan Red Cross visited Palermo. Sic fly. and increased the funds Of the NNOmen's alliance. about 500 children of Italian soldiers have been fed at the RicreatoriO, a place maint9lned by the alliance, with only a piece of dry bread and an orange, twice day. The extra funds furnished by the Rcd Cross provided for an addition to this scant menu. of at least q bowl of soup for each child. The Red Cross built a kitchen where the soup could be cooked. and in addition. gave 50.000 lire towards housing some of the 5000 refugees in western Sicily and 0.0OO lire more to aid the wives of soldiers.
 Ii is a heavy task for Sicily, poor enough at best, to care for it's 22.000 refugees as well as the families of it's own soldiers children, of whom there are 5000 in Palermo alone. Natu'- ally. the aid of the Red Cross has been received with great gratitude and the little black eyed youngsters who stream into the Red Cross dis pensnries with their mothers to get the milk, rice and meat which are distributed, have already learned to look upon America as a mysterious but wonderful biz brother.

The Norwegians are asking why they

also risk being left empty-handed by

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, January IA graphic story
of the murder by drunken Russian SOL
diers of Prince Sangushko, a Polish
noble, and of his two daughters, the
the Petrograd correspondent of Lloyd s
News.
Before the war the tragedy lately
enacted at Slavuta would have sent a
thrill of horror throughout Europe
says the correspondent. "As it is. the
bare fact that the venerable Prince
Sangushko, ninety years old, had been
murdered, has been announced, but the
ghastly details of the crime have only
just been revealed.
1.-The castle of Slavuta, built when the
district of southwestern Russia. where
it stands, belonged to the King of
Poland. lies on the outskirts Of a little
manufacturing town of the same name.
Owing to the unsettled state of the
country. which Is infested by deserters
from the army, the military authorities
had sent a guard of dragons to the
castle, which contains priceless histori-
cal treasures accumulated by the San
gushko family in. the course of the
centuries.
"One of these dragons caught SOL
dier from a nefghboring village cutting
down tree in the forest surrounding
the castle and tackled him. The thief
was slightly wounded, but not severely
enough to prevent his running to the
neighboring village, where his regi-
ment was stationed, shrieking that the
guard at the castle was trying to mur-
der him. The soldiers comrades at once
seized their rifles and surrounded the
castle of Prince Sangushko. They be-
gan to fire, and the dragons on guard
returned their fire. All the time the
officers and the members Of the regi-
mental committee were appealing to
the insurgent soldiers to obey orders
and to cease firing.
suddenly they gave way. only stipu-
lating that deputation from the regi-
mental committee should search the
castle. as they were convinced that the
old prince had stored machine guns,
for use in the cause of the counter
revolution. OF course, there were no
machine guns, and all that were found
were a few sporting guns and revol-
vers.
Gust as suddenly as the crowd of
soldiers, standing in the courtyard of
the castle. had yielded to the appeal of
their officers, came new uproar. and
in an instant they had overpowered
the guard, and rushed into the castle.
Neither threats nor appeals had the
slightest effect on them. They Destroy
ed. In fit of maniacal fury, eyehything
that they could lay hands on. Pictures,
furniture. statues. draperies were de-.
stroyed blindly. sruthlessly. The svener-
able Polish magnate and his twoniecea
