HE GAVE HIS SHIRT OFF HIS BACK
How an Italian Officer Travelling Oh, Tram
Helped New Bora Baby.

wrctchedly poor and dislcartened
mother had been damned in with the
hundreds Of other frightened Italians
on the same train. Hungry, tired and
miserable and in flightfully weak
cncd condition, she had scarcely sulti-
cicnt clothes for herself. not TO speak
of properly caring for d newborn babe.
The young officer stripped himself OF
his shirt, and there among this fright
cncd, half starved, forlorn crowd the
poor Italian infant was wrapped in IT'S
first body covering.
Mother and babe were afterwards
nursed back to health, clothed and
looked after by the American Red
Cross And this is only one small, is
plated incident among thousands that
come under the working OF the Red
Cross.
