Cross in the middle of an October afternoon. stacles, a Red Cross train loaded with food. clothing, ether, and other supplies was made ready immediately. It was placed in charge of Red Cross agent with instructions to get to Rome-no matter how, but get there. It was started, cut in two by accident coup led together, started again and reached Rome in just one quarter of the wartime schedule.
 A comprehensive Red Cross organization was quickly woven together. Red Cross supplies began to accumulate in needed cen- ters. The stream of refugees flowed una batting to the South. One afternoon, on two hours notice, preparations were made to feed twelve thousand refugees at the Port onaccio Station.
 Hundreds of thousands had been dis lodged from their homes. To have cared for this unhoused population would have taxed the resources of any country. But, in addition, Italy had to salvage its army and turn back an invasion with its remain ing organized force.
 It was to this emergency that the Red Cross brought it's mobile machinery and financial aid. In this work the American note was struck by the Red Cross-it gave assurance to Italy that in resisting invasion and getting under her heavy load of civil distress the American people were with her.
 In his address at the opening of Parliam- ent early in December, the Italian Premier, Baron Sonnino, said ''Our soul is stirred again with appreciation and admiration for the magnficent dash with which the Ameri- can Red Cross has brought us powerful aid in our recent misfortune. We attribute great value to the cooperation which will be given us against the common enemy by the prodigio,ls activity and by the exuber- ant and consistent force which are peculiar o the American people,

The Italian Disaster

Never in it's history has the American Red Cross more graphically proven it's mobility and efficiency than when it went to meet and care for the half million or more rcfu gees who were driven down from the moun- tains of northern Italy by the Austrian ln- vaders in October of last year.
 The "Italian situation'' was flashed on the world overnight. For two years the Italian Army had been slowly making It's way against the Austrian. In two days all it had accomplished was undone. During those two days not only was ltaly's military progress reversed, but six hundred thousand of her women and children and old men were forced to flee before Mackensen s force
 If ever there was an emergency to pc met it was when the refugees began to stream down the mountains in northern Italy. From Washington there was flashed 10 Rome assurances of aid, backed by authorl- ty of Ambassador Page to draw on the Red Cross for immediate funds. Every consul lar agent was furnished with Red Cross funds to meet the emergency quickly; every Red Cross agent was set to work.
 Food and clothing for hundreds of thou sands had to be bought. The Italian nos pital service had been wrecked by the enc my and had to be restored Transporta- tion service had to be provided and homes created for the refugees
 Babies were being born and were dying oy the roadside. Refugees by the hundreds O, or thousands were hungry, athirst and Ill; Here was a situation that called for speead above all else Delay meant death and s''t- fcring to thousands.

 Disaster comes unheralded; cyclones, tornaGoes, earthquakes, floods, explosions, confIagraons pedoes. even battles and nvasions, give little ing, or none.
 To meet emergency, these things necessary: organization, resources equipment, expert know1- edge, Zeal, mobility, and speed.
 The American Red Cross is the main reliance of our own Government and co-operates with foreign governments and foreign societies in the work of relief everywhere.

 Relief moves followed with rapidity. A steamship vitl, Red Cross supplies sailed from New Orleans at once; &l21 ,OO9 worth of supplies were shipped by the Red Cross rom the Canal Zone
 4 commission of American Red Cross cX- pcrts in relief was dispatched and the work of restoration has been going on as only skilled workers can carry il on.
