Italian Refugees
Sing at Camp Dix

Cnmp Dix, Wrightstown, n. j.. July
20. - Four hundred Italian refugees,
guests at Camp Dix until passage to
Europe can be procured. fought off
homesickness. disbursement and the
wiles of German agents with their ma
tive and war songs. Camp Dix heard
these songs last night. when the Ital-
isns gathered at the main building of
the knights of Columbus and gave
ar impromptu concert. The American
audience gave the Italians a great
ovation. Their remarkable journey
through Russia to Japan, thence
across the Pacific to America. has
won the admiration of the entire
country and hundreds of Americans of
Italian descent who visited the little
company, were thrilled by their sing
ing. Many of the visitors brought
gifts to the Italian soldiers.
Many of the Italians, although for
merly citizens of wealth and affiuence
at home. were practically destitute
when they reached this country. Some
wore clothing they had picked up in
China. The entire detail has been sup
piled with khaki uniforms since
reaching this country.

Race Riots Call Police
and Marines to Quell;
Two Killed in Disorder

Philadelphia. July 2s.-Three hum
dred policemen and sixty marines
were on duty to-day to prevent re-
currence of race riots in South Phila-
delphia in which two men were killed
and several score injured yesterday.
The trouble occurred in the sec
tion between Washington avenue and
Dickinson street. 25th and S0th
streets which contains many small
thoroughfares inhabited by negroes.
Armed battles were waged from
early Sunday morning until last mid
night between gangs of negroes on
side and white residents, with the
police and members of the Home De-
fense Reserve striving vainly to pre-
serve order.
The men killed were Hugh Lavery
and Thomas McVay, a police patrol
wagon driver. The death list may be
enlarged as several persons wounded
are in a serious condition.
According to the police the disorder
was the result of an attempt by
negroes to encroach on streets which
up to this time have been occupied
solely by white families.

HOOVER EASES
UP ON WHEAT
SAVING AUG. |
Public Eating Places to Be
Allowed to Use
Cereal

Washington. July 29.-Proprietors
Of hotels, restaurants and diningcar
services throughout the country,
who voluntarily agreed to use DO
wheat until the present harvest, will
be released from their pledges on
August 1, according to a cablegram
received by the food administration
yesterday from Herbert c. Hoover.
Under Mr.. Hoover's new arrange
ment the public eating places may
offer wheat products in much the
same manner as formerly, but they
will be required to continue to COM
ply with the food administration
regulations and serve victory
bread"
While exact figures are not OBJ
tainable, 1t is estimated that the ho-
tells, restaurants and dining cars CT
the country will have saved from
october last to August 1 between
100000 and 200,000,000 pounds
of wheat and its products. About
5000 hotel proprietors gave the
wheatless pledge and nearly 2OO,-
600 restaurants and safe owners cut
down on flour as much as their. busi-
ness would permit
1t also is estimated that the meat
saving of public eating places for a
similar period amounted to 100000
600 pounds and the conservation OF
sugar approached 50,000,000 pounds.
The ban on meat is expected to be
made stringent shortly, but the seri-
Gus sugar shortage faced by the
country for the next six months will
require the ehting places to hold
their consumption of this staple co
two pounds for every ninety meals
served. In his message Mr.. Hoover
congratulates the hotel proprietors
on their patriotic service and ex-
presses appreciation of the substan-
tial saving effected. The cablegram
follows:
In releasing the hotels. restau.
rants, clubs and dining cars from
their voluntary pledge not to use
wheat in any form until the new har.
vest, 1 wish to congratulate then
upon the patriotic example they Sc
| and thank them for the large saw
| ings made. The echo of the serv
ice has been heard in Europe anC
has pointed the way of democrac!
the most service from those whC
have the most to give.
"It has been a personal inspira
| ton TO me TO nave the continued
help so freely given of all of the meI
and women who put through the no
wheat campaign, which helped IL
to provide for the necessities of tn
allies in spite of our short crop.
'I have confidence that the SAM
spirit will enable us to build III
the great reserve of wheat and 9th
er foods needed to provide agains
future crop failure and to assist tn
allied nations in putting through tn
great offensive that must win tn
| war.
