face OF the greatest struggle OF its his
tory. With pitiless energy, however,
as pitiless as its leniency heretofore, the
government now intends to repress any
attempt to transform just protest into
something more serious"
Florence has been occupied by mill
tary forces and the machine guns of
the troops, 1t has been shown the mobs
and robbers were not taken there merely
for show! The same thing has hap
pened at other most rebellious centers,
especially at Ancona and Brcscia,
where many persons were wounded.
In Genoa where the uprising against
the cost of living took most orderly
form, the people imposed n reduction
in oil prices. watched the carrying out
of this order and prevented any violence
against shopkeepers. They intervcned
whenever attempts were made to ran
sack shopps, putting down the dis
orderly elements with much greater
energy than the police, ever used. At
Milan the people have presented an
ultimatum, demanding that the prices
of all necessities be materially reduced
by Tuesday.
A mob ransacked nearly all the shoe
shops at Palermo, the troops being
called out too late to prevent pillaging.
When they appeared they were received
with applause, the crowd shouting to
the soldiers mo firing boys, we are
not at the front. Here we are all
brothers and all are against the vam-
pircs who have starved u.s."
From all towns where disorders have
occurred the same report is coming. A
week ago everything could be bought
at high prices. but now the shops are
closed, goods are lacking and nothing
can be found. Entire families in many
places are in despair at finding some
thing to cat.
Count Olgiati. prefect of Florence,
has been removed from Office. He was
transferred to that city from Milan
during the war after he had been un-
able to prevent a general strike in
Milan.

From Logan Hickerson.

Mr.. julie B. Jackson OF Tarfork, has
had another good letter from his
friend, Logan B. Hickerson of Breck-
inridge. Mr.. Hickerson's letters are
always interesting and full of news
and humor. Following the letter is
a poem composed by the writer.
Dear Mr. Jackson, You may be
somewhat doubtful as to my right to
claim "Never put off till tomorrow
what you can do today" for a motto,
but truly, | have tried very hard to
carry out this motto, especially as
regards answering letters since |
have been in this country. ! had
your letter among finished" business
and was resting easy, looking for a
letter from you-and it came, and
was sorry that | had overlooked
your letter, and now l am hustling
to make up for lost time. You will
be glad that ! did not write, because
| am going to swamp you this time.
Am going to tell you about some
things that | have seen and heard, in
an everyday sort of way-just as If |
were with you down on good old Tar
"Crick." First, | might say that
get from the letter you write that you
are ready to stay at home now, and
quit going to the city, looking for
big opportunities Good for the
"prodigal son." You have plenty of
good farm land Plant big truck
patch, and plot of melons,, in The
meanwhile, live at home. There is
nothing like it. The farmers are very
busy over here, blowing their grapes.
Every farmer has grape held-we
call them arbors at home, but since,
the French have big fields of grapes,
we must change the name to field"
or vineyard The weather is very
nice at present. Just had two SHOWS
last winter. The sun shines hot,
when it shines. 1t is an ideal place
to farm, except. the soil, it seems
rather shallow.
Hear Many Funny Things.
One sees and hears many amusing
things-I call them amusing; you
may call them funny, it's all the
same-in the course of eigth or nine
months in the army, and especially, if
that army is doing service in for
eign country, participating in a
WOTlu W1uc cause WHICH NATURALLY
throws him into the association of the
various and numerous, as well as
races of mankind. A
mong the most amusing things are
the conversations the Chinese carry
on in English. The lose the posi-
ton of words, making nouns of verbs
and vice versa. Another amusing
uage tuned" to the French accent.
thing, yes funny thing, is our lang
Some of us know seven words in
French; some even more. i know
one American who knows thirteen
words. OF course, you must under
stand that | am not very well acquain-
ted in the A. E. F. There are some
who knew nothing of
French before they came over, that
would surprise you. The favorite
words, and in a way, these words are
sufficient to make one understood,
are: oui, bon, tres bon, pas bon,
merci, combien, beaucoup, allie, toute
de suite, partir, compris, and some
others that my memory fails me on.
These are taken up at random by me.
