THE FIRST SQUARE MEAL
How Red Cross Has Fed Italian
Prisoners.

Last sDring the Red Cross workers
at Berne were busy arranging TO care
for the American soldiers who were
takel prisoners by. the Germans, ana
now the new exchange agreement
means that Italians from Austria on
their way back to Italy are being
cared for in hundreds. They are pa
thetic lot. these grand blesses "-the
hopelessly wounded men-but they are
always delighted with the prospect Of
going home, even though it may be
going home to die. Nearly all OF them
are tubercular.
The method employed is this: The
italian Government sends q train into
Austria through Switzerland to gather
up the men released under the eX-
change agreement. The train crosses
the Swiss border and at BuchS is met
by delegations from the allied Red
Cross organizations, and under the
present plan the food is furnished by
the American Red Cross. To many OF
these men this is the first square mea

again.
II is the food which America ha
sent over which gives to these me-
their first meal-food which has bee
saved by eating smaller portions, an

Concerning spoliges.

Sponges are animals with power to eat
and digest. They begin their life as tiny
eel-like creatures and have a short. free
life in the area, after which they fasten
themselves to a rock and begin to develop.
They grow into all sorts of shapes Some
branch out in all directions like fingers,
and are called mermaid's gloves There
are fan-ike sponges, treelike sponges and
euplike sponges. There are sponges that
form carpet over the rocks, and sponges
called by the fishermen ''sea nests be,
cause they look like birds nests.

few officials who depore any discussion whatever,
hopeful tonight that the President would take for the
text of his reply this time the line in his inquiry to Prince Max
to whether he s speaking merely for the constituted
hores of the empire who have far conducted the war;
Coupling this inquiry with the Presidents statement in his
New York speech that the promises of the who had made
and violated the treaties of BrestLtovs with the Boshev
and Of Bucharest with the Ruanans could not be accepted
these officials pointed out that the reply of the German
men received here tonight could possibly be satisfactory
They insisted that the President meant by his New York Speech
and that his note Prince Max merely by this question made
his meaning stronger that the free nations battling with
