"It should be borne in mind that
many of our troops are being brought

the space occupied was troop space. It

were carried.
"Many officers of high rank have re.
turned on some of our converted cargo
vessels requiring ten or twelve days
for the trip. The Ieviathan and the
Imperator require seven days for the

Of his intended resignation. The Car
mania spent the night at Quarantine,

given to us to do, and I felt it my duty
to remain in Italy. But with the sign

good to me after an absence of three

causes Bolshcvsm. he was confident

tcrlng wedge in that country. Only
famine could drive Italy to despair and
Bolshcvism, he thought. The primary
cause of unrest there, he said, was
lack of coal, which prevented indus
tries from resuming ordinary activi-
ties and caused mployment. The
English miners strike, he said, caused
the coal shortage.

"Thcre is no danger of Bolshevism
gaining foothold in Italy if things
get back to a normal basis. If the
Factories can get coal to resume opera

and Of they are working they will earn
the money to buy foodstuffs'
Lack of food was causing great
hardship among the Italians. Mr.. Page
said, the people still being on a war

unobtainable. A small amount OF SUGAR
remained in the embassy stores when
Mr.. Page started home, and he had il

large quantity of merchandise of
