rives With 983 Soldiers

Two former Austrian transports, the
Argentina and the Francesca, manned
by Austrian officers and crews, made
port yesterday with 2,14S American Of
iicers and men. The ships were long
overdue because of sailors strikes and
lack of coal, and their voyages were
enlivened by feuds between Italian and
American cooks, to the gastronomic an
noyance of the soldiers aboard.
After the armistlce, the two ships
were turned over to Italy. With an
Austrian captain and crew, the
Argentina carried 1000 Italian prison
ers OF war back to Genoa. There
Italian stevedores refused to handle
the vessel until her crew va. union,zeo
The Two steamers left Marseilles with

When the troops got on board thew
protested against the food and the
cooking. Captain William Stokes. on
the Argentina, put American cooks to
work, and the Italian cooks struck.
W hen they were forced to return TO
their galleys, they burned the food. it
was said. Soldier cooks retaliated bv
scorching the spaghetti.
When the Argentina docked at Pier

down to the pier biscuits which thew
said were fair specimens of the food

the pier gave them hot food, later.

Prompt Aid Cheers
Destitute Mother
OF Slain Soldier
Suffering Due to Delay in
Receiving Allotment Is
Turned to Joy by Liber.
ality of Patriotic Citizens

Life looked rosy yesterday to Mrs.
Mary Blake, widowed mother of slain
soldier. Her wrinkled checks were
wreathed in smiles and her blue eyes
beamed as she told of the many offers
Of help which had come to her during
the last twenty-four hours as the re-
suit Of he story in The Tribune. Her
only son and main support, Wilbur
Leroy Blake twenty-three years old, had
been killed on October H. She never
received any allotment or insurance
money from the government, is prac-
tically penniless and still suffering
from the effects of an attack of in
fluenza.
Mrs. Blake was kept busy receiving
kindly disposed callers at her home,
151 West Twentieth Street, yesterday
Two New Jersey women offered her the
use of their country home in which to
rccuperate and also the use of their
car. Mrs. Blake hopes to be able to
pass week soon with them. An in
tiuential Brooklyn business man, sent
by his sympathetic wife, left sub
stantial sum of money to tide over
present needs.
Mrs. Julia Heath. president of the
National Housewives League, was one
caller to become interested in the case.
She wrote to Washington last night
and expects to trace the matter further.
Mrs. Heath is also working ON several
other cases where families are eX-
periencing actual suffering because of
delay in receiving their allotments.
Mrs. Heath is planning to form an
organization of mothers of soldiers,
who will assist in obtaining allotments
or insurance money for those who have
been unable to get it. She has asked
all mothers interested in such an or
ganizaton to send their names to her
at her home, IT'S West Eighty eighth
Street.
At the home service section of the
Red Cross, 353 Fourth Avenue, 1t was
stated that there are tremendous
number of cases in which the families
have failed to receive the allotment;
in fact, the greater part Of their work
is with such families. In one instance,
said officials, the soldier was in hos
pital His wife, a seamstress, would
have had to give up her home but for
the Red Cross aid.
According to the Red Cross. a great
deal of the difficulty may be traced to
the fact that the soldier did not supply
sufficient or accurate information. This
was confirmed by officials of the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, who declared
incorrect data was responsible for
much of the confusion and delay.
"Thc Treasury Department is not
Santa Claus" one official said. ut can
only pay from its records at Washing
ton. If the records are not complete
it stands to reason that payments can
not be made. If any one is having
trouble. let them write to the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, Treasury De-
partmont, Washington, making
specific request, stating full informa-
c1o orly al,
name of the soldier, his last known
rank and organization, his army serial
or identification numbers also full in
formation regarding themselves. Such
cases will receive a complete answer
with as little delay as possible"

While most of New York was sleep

Of their armories to make their final

ing from reports received at the of

ployers will welcome them back to the
Jobs they left behind them as joy
fully as the men will receive them.
Many Of the soldiers carried with
them bundles of "cit" clothes, in prep
sration for their early return. Just
when this will be was the question on
every tongue. The most optimistic re-
plies we're that the first men to be
mustered out by the machinery to be
set in motion at Camp Upton would be
freed about April 2.
Artillerymen Start Early
The first men to leave the city in
the morning were the 1900 members
Of the 104th Field Artillery, occupying
the armory Of the 9th Coast Artillery.
In West Fourteenth Street. They took
special tram to Camp Upton. leav-
ing the Pennsylvania Station at $3.50
o'clock in the morning
The early rising soldiers found that
the various organizations that had
played the friend to them throughout
the war had continued to anticipate
their wants. Coffee, sandwiches, choc-
oate and cigarettes had been provided
by the War Camp Community Service
and the knights of Columbus.
Nineteen hundred officers and men
OF the 10th Infantry, the old Seventh,
filed out of the armory at Park Ave
nue. and Sixty sixth Stree, under COM
mand of Colonel Mortimer d. BRYANT.
The colonel made final address to his
men before they started on the hike
for the train that took them to Camp
Upton. He complimented the fighters
upon the record they had made in
France and on their continued soldier
iy conduct during the even more try
ing days after fighting ceased.

the men marched to their assigned
areas, and hot dinner of beef, pota-
toes and gravy, coffee, bread and rice
pudding was served.
There was very little duty assigned
until evening, and the fighters were
given chance to shake down into their
last army home and rest up before be-
ginning the rehabilitation grind to-
morrow.
Most Of the paper work for the di-
vision organizations was completed at
