How Red Cross Has Fed italian

Last spring the Red Cross workers

hopelessly wounded men-but they are
always delighted with the prospect OF
going home, even though It may De
going home to die. Nearly all OF them
are tubercular.
The method employed Is this: The
italian Government sends train into
Austria through Switzerland to gather
ND the men released under the exa
change agreement. The train crosses
the Swiss border and at Buchs is met
by delegations from the allied Red
Cross organizations, and under the
present plan the food Is furnished by
the American Red Cross. To many OF
these men this is the first square meal
that they have had for years. Cloth

FEw OF sesTH mr.. RETURNED.

The people Of Iowa and especially Des
\ Moines, both colored and white, were
much disappointed over the fact that
lied and trained at Camp Dodge from
October, 1917, until May, 1918, with
their colored officers became well ac,
qnainted with the citizens of Dcs
Moines they were almost part of our
city, in fact most Of the Iowa officers
were also stationed here at Camp
Dodge. Therefore we all thought an 4
expected that this 366th Regiment
should have been returned here to be
dsmobiiized from where they were mus
tered in, especially when both races
here ask that they be sent here as we
were planning a big reception for them.
Our mayor, governor, legislature and
members in congress from Iowa ask.
that they be returned to Camp Dodge,
but some military authority for some
unknown reasons revoked the order
that first ordered them here and sent all
Of them to southern camps to be de-
nobilized except 116 which came here
last Saturday night, Notwithstanding
the very short notice Of a few hours
that they were coming and the cold
rain there were fully 1000 citizens at
the Union Station to receive them, and
the mighty cheers and many tears that
evening made the evening really his
toric. The detachment marched to the
Internrban station, where the men en-
trained for Camp Dodge.
Among the l16 soldiers who returned
last night were many Des Moines men.
The officers were Lieut.. Maceo Rich
mond, former football star at Des

winner of the distinguished service
