SAYS SHIP REDUCTION !.

Italian Vessels Not Idle and Wheat.
Spaghetti Story False, High
Commissioner Declares.

In protesting to the shipping board
against any further reduction of the
number of ships plying between the
United States and Italy, F. Quattronne
Italian high commissioner, declared
that such reduction would threaten the
Italian people and their army with
starvation.
me high commissioner protested
against published statements that sbips
were lying idle in Italian ports. and
denied allegations that ships which
might be diverted to carrying sup
plies and munitions to France are used
to export from Italy spaghetti made
from American wheat. His statement
follows:
1T isn't true that the Italian ambas-
sador' Count Macchi di Cellere has
been called at the State Department in
order to consulted about the Italian
tonnage situation.
Italian STEAMERS Not Idle.
1T is false that Italian steamers have
been practically idle in Italian ports.
ltaiian steamers have been instead con-
tinuously plying between Italy and
America and other countries, transport
ing material of first necessity to the
population and to the army. always
facing the perils of the danger zone.
me restrictions already imposed
upon the Italian population in order to
reduce the employment of tonnage to
the minimum possible .have reached
such a limit that to go further would
mean starvation to the Italian civil
population, as well as for the army,
Macaroni Production Reduced,
The production and sale of macaroni
n Italy has been much reduced and the
export of this product has been strong
y prohibited. 1t is falsehood, there
lore, to assert that any wheat exported

Chairman Hurley assured the high
that none of the state
nents to which he took exception, en-
mated directly or indirectly from the
shipping board.

22!YEAR-O[D GIRL
HEROINE Of FLIGHT
Party of Americans Encounter
Many PeriIs in Fleeing
From Petrograd.
HARDSHIPS IN FINLAND

Thrilling incidents marked the flight
of a small party of Americans from
Petrograd through the battle lines in
Finland on their way to Stockholm. ac-
cording to report just received at the
State Department.
They suffered all sorts of privations
insults and dangers.
A twenty-two-year-ol girl. Miss
Ranta. bookkeeper for the American
Tobacco Company. was the heroine OF
the flight, even mounting the ramparts
of the Finnish red guards to help Capt
Crosley. naval attache at Petrograd
and ]. ]. Tyer. manager of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company in Finland. wave
the Stars and Stripes and a flag OF
truce to persuade the white guards to
stop firing.
The refugees left Petrograd at a time
OF greatest terror in the city, when the
Germans were approaching closer and
closer and hostile airplanes were rain
ing death from the skies.
Americans Arrested.
The Americans who proceeded to
TammerfoFS eventually received spe-
cial train from the Helsingfors author
tiles. but as the train was about to pull
out soldiers took possession, all bag
gage was dumped out and the Ameri-
cans were arrested. They were later
allowed to proceed under guard of red
troops and eventually Joined forces
with other Americans at Bjorneburg
from where they went to Mentyloto
close to the battle lines.
From Mentyloto Capt. Crosley. Mr.
Tyer and Miss Ranta started in a
sleigh for the front. Capt. Crosley
mounted the breastworks with the
stars and Stripes, Mr.. Tyer took a flag
of truce and Miss RantI acted as in
terpreter. When the firing ceased they
walked between the lines and were met
by volley. the white guards believing
their advance was ruse. None was
hit. but Miss Ranta was taken pris-
oner. being a Finn.
A truce of six hours was arranged
during which sleighs from the red
guards took the Americans and their
goods and dumped them midway be-
tween the lines where the white
guards picked them up.
Miss Ranta's Request Grained.
Miss Ranta, meanwhile, had discov-
cred In the commander-in-chie of the
whites an old schoolmate, of who she
demanded that he allow the burial OF
many dead whom the refugees had OBJ
served between the lines. The reds
claimed that the whites had fired OIL
Red Cross workers who attempted to
rescue the wounded, who had died. Her
request was granted and she herself
was ordered released.
The refugees proceeded overland in
sleighs, through bitter cold, and met
with many insults from German officers
and Finnish soldiers under their in
fiuence.
