TO OPEN RECREATION HUTS FOR ARMY FIGHTING IN THE ALPS BY ARTHUR GI.EASON The Y. M. C. A. has been invited by the Italian authorities to open recreation huts and carry on social work inside the war zone of the Ital ian army. The invitation is equally hearty to both the American and the British Y. M. C. A., and it marks a large gain of international goodwill. No sectarian or political Institution could possibly receive such an invita tion, which is entirely a tribute to the humanitarian warwork of the "organization, and is the result of the visit of an American-English mission to the Italian front on the invitation of the Italian government. The mis sion was chaperoned with tact and enthusiasm by Captain Enrico Garda, of the Italian Bureau in Paris. The idea of it was conceived by him and Erie James Patterson, of Liverpool University, who has been conducting Y. M. C. A. work for the British at Havr. Mr. Patterson and Captain Garda saw that the largest, friendli est results would be obtained by a whole-hearted co-operation of Brit ish and Americans, and the "Triple alliance" is entirely due to their han dling of what might have been merely one more "trip to the front." So thoroughly, are the Italian au thorities in sympathy that they agree to provide the buildings and free transportation for all materials. Gen eral Parro expressed to us his ap proval of the plan. We were a peacable party that vis ited Italy and we went on a quiet mission, but it was speedily turned into a brisk trip. The leader of our American-Knglisli Y. M. C. A. Mission was Francis B. Sayre, son-in-law of President Wilson. On the fourth day out, the Austrians put two shells be yond him and two shells behind him, and then, having nicely established the range of the road, they placed one shell a couple of rods away about forty-five feet was the estimate of Captain Pirelli, of the Italian Etat- Major. Three days later Mr. Sayre was belrig hauled HP through midair toward the peak of Mount Pasubio on an aerial cable, when the w J re * tangled and he hung a few hundred feet over the scenery for thirty min utes. The telephones, back of him at the station in the rocks, and ahead of him on the summit where we awaited him. were reporting progress on the repairs, and at last the little basket swung ahead and he joined us on the peak. A few minutes later the Austrians shelled the trench where we were talking American with the Italian army from Pitts burgh, West Virginia and New York. It was all very perfectly staged in some of the noblest scenery in the world —green glacial rivers, great hills with snow in the -caverns, long vistas of valley. The American members, in addition to Mr. Sayre. were Bishop I.uther B. Wilson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the area of New York, rep resenting the Mayor of New York s Committee on Enlistment; Professor Wilson S. Naylor, of Lawrence Col lege "Wisconsin. The mem bers were the Rev. Dr. John Kelman, of St. George's Church, Edinburgh (the famous church where Hugh Black used to preach); Eric James Patterson, a Manxman of Peterhouse College, Cambridge, and Professor Francis Burkett, of Cambridge Uni versity. These men are all active in Y. M. C. A. work for the Ameri can and British troops. Dr. Kelman has recently returned from a lecture tour In the United States, and has been living under shellfire with the British troops at Nieuport. One mem ber of the mission failed to arrive, though the "Corrlere della Sera" of Milan announced him as Professor Holland Goose. This should read as Professor Holland Rose. It was the same lively paper which, in wishing to describe a famous London society woman as a distinguished hostess, called her "one of the best-known innkeepers in London." But these slips are rare, and English is a home lnnguage among the officers and men whom V met Our military escort at the front was Captain Pirelli, who upoaks an Eton-Balloll English of the choicest accent and tone. He is a member of the great Milan firm of Pirelli,, which makes rubber goods, wiring and oable strand for Italy, and many other nations of Europe. He has played tennis with the British at home and abroad, and has helped to establish 300 federated football clubs in Italy, where there were three 'seventeen years ago. The game is English Association. Captain Pirelli is also master of French arid Ger man, and to have Spanish with a like perfection. In one. group of twenty privates on the observation post on Mount Pasubio. I found three men who had worked in America and who talked our tongue as we know it. The com mandant who gave us coffee at the Monfalcone Savyyard (captured from the Austrians) had spent two months in New York at the Fulton celebra tion. As we stood on the "Observa toire Pano Zagradan," a private came up and in good American gave, his name as Frank Pamuccl. of 4S Franklin street. Nyack, N. Y. A\ oulil I tell his father and mother? I here by do He is 1.300 metres high, look ing into the Austrian lines with ex cellent Held glasses and he has been serving for twenty-five months. The major who gave us coffee at Gorlzla had spent one year In the United States, buying horses and mules. At the Milan station, acting as inter preter, stood a New York Italian of West Twenty-fourth street, to wel come us. In peace times, he is the agent for collar buttons, studs and suspenders. Just who and what our niisslov was troubled the innkeepers of our passage. At Venice, in the Royal Danieli, the seven names of us were bracketted as •"Mission Scientitique /mericaine" —doubtless a tribute from a race of engineers. But the labeling was too much for the blood of Mr. Patterson, y.nd 1 caught him late one evening altering the record by writing "British" after the names of himself and his two friends. As we sat in the Pilsen Restaurant In Venice, the orchestra SUUI-K U "The Star Spangled Banner" and 1 must state tliat< Mr. Patterson and Dr. Kelman were the first to recog nize it as a national hymn in our honor. They stood and sang while the Italians applauded them as vis itors from a great republic. We saw the great Italian offensive at work from choice natural plat forms .We stood on Mount Sabatlno anil looked across to San Gabriele, when on the highest peak the only bit of mountain left to them, the Austrians were being hotly shelled. \V© stood* on San Michele, with the Duke of Aosta, commander of the secteur, and looked to the Hermada, that hog's back, bristling with ma chine guns, where the Austrians make their last stand of the south, just as at Gabriele they make their last stand on the north of that par ticular layer of hills. On the mountain where the Five Hundred Twenty-first Battery nurses its six-inch guns in the lieavy-lidded rave, like an eye almost asleep, the commander brought out his book .. May 13. 1917. In Caverna." We were sitting In the oavern on the top of Mount Cengio. 4,000 feet high. We came Into the Laguna dl Gra do. where on our left Italian shells wire falling as we looked on Mount HXMISBURG .TELEGRAPH Hermada. A hydroplane iklmmed the water, as a swallow dips Its wings in flight, and then in a rush of foam it lighted and swam. Seagulls were resting on the quiet water, smaller by half than our American gulls. Destroyers, chasers and monitors lay in the lagoon. One of the monitors was carrying two guns, which shoot shells of 1750 pounds at SI,OOO a shot. Her draught was seven feet. She looked like a turtle with a mushroom on* its back. The Italian officers were courteous enougli to remember that the Monitor idea was American. The commandant of Grado showed us his chart of aeroplane bombard ments. lie had yellow dots for the year 1915, and there were eighty eight. meaning that eighty-eight Austrian bombs had fallen on his tiny section; 1910 had green, dots, 163 in number, and ninety-mine red dots marked 1917, up to the day of our visit; But our mission not only made a series of mental pictures of the light, it also was invited to examine the recreation htits of the soldiers. American and English agreed that they had nothing to add in scope of plan to the efficient, widely-inclusive social work for soldiers, carried on by the priest-professor, Don Mi nozzi, who has established 140 recrea tion centers for Italian soldiers in the war zone. Many of them are within easy range of Austrian lire. One of them was packed with men a hun dred feet away from a barrack, crushed like an eggshell, by a shell of the day before. The Roman professor (Don Minozzi is professor in the College of Rome) spent two evenings with the mission and gave a hearty welcome to the entrance into his field of the new comers. The work is under way and •well don<*. -It needs only to extend it in nun\ber of huts, along the lines laid down by Italian initiative. One of the appealing features of these huts, created by Don Minozzi. is the touch of idealism he has given to the war drive of h)s people. He has connected their present effort with the historic past of their race by covering the walls of the huts with lithographs of the great upris ing and unification of Italy under Mazzini and Garibaldi and Cavour. There are a dozen different scenes in color scattered through recreation buildings, each picture recording a dramatic moment in that proud period of the Risorgimento. Each one of the thousand soldiers in each one of the 140 huts is thus able to take heart for his present fight, be cause of the vivid emblem of what his people once did. Thus, Soldato Antonio Borgiotti, Soldato Colombo (the clever colonel did not omit to point out the significance of the name to an American), and Soldatos Bruno Carlo and Vinnercati Angela (I"copy names I saw) are fortunate in having such a background made plain to them. In Granezza, in the pine forest, where there was once only an inn, there is now a soldiers' village of barracks, and in the midst of them a recreation hut, with cinema, and reading and writing room. The place was bright and green in the sun of the roadway, and then in a moment we stepped into the gloom and lone liness of the forest, and we realized a little what a film would mean in the long evenings of the never-end ing war. And still more we saw that that work of the "Casa" was good, when the thick wet mists drifted in and hung on the trees and flooded the caves. One' would like to meet in the winter forests of the Tren tino. There was a recreation hut, eight thousand feet above sealevel, under the Trefani (in the Dolomites). At a congested point there are five huts ir. a radius of five kilometers. We came to a village where the hut has become a varied plant, with an equipment for interesting 1,300 men at a time. There were rifle range, bowling alley, photograph gallery (the soldier likes to cheer the folks at home with a picture of himself "well and happy"), house, a ball range. In this, the figures to be hit are fantastic medi e\al scarlet figures of devil, king and queen (not "the" King and Queen). The same recreation center* had a gymnasium and football field. It would take a sour critic to suggest any improvement for the outfit. In another hut. In the readingroOm, I noted that In one month Dante's Divine Comedy had been drawn out by thirteen private soldiers (the ink record gave the rank of the reader). This hut had a bandstand and, it must be said, a lottery. Chance is a popular lady in the war zone, where to-morrow may not come for you with the 'sureness of the sun. This was the place, indeed, where we called on Friday, and the shell had broken the next building on Thurs day. And these huts are not a hole in the ground in a low, wet dreary country. They are in great forests, and on the high hills, by rivers hurrying as they near the Adriatic, and In villages, once quiet and still beautiful. They share in scenery un surpassed in Europe, and one feels that the men who crowd them must be a litle gladder of their long watch in a landscape that is never tawdry. The British and French often have had to practice heroism in mean places, where vermin is thick and mud deep, and the dreary level of the land answers the monotony of the have suffered and dared Jn noble long endurance. But the Italians scenery, the worthy setting for men about to die. The wounded are ig nobly mud-splattered or covered with cloiu'V of dust and flies in the flats of Fhinders. But the wounded of Italy are rolled down the winding reads of the mile-high mountains with some beauty of verdure still green on the flanks. There must bo something good, event o dimmed eyes, in the sight of a high place and a wide green glacier river, and perhaps even death is less bitter there. One thing is certain. The faces of NO QUININE IN THIS COLD CURE "Pape's Cold Compound" ends colds and grippe in a few hours. Take "Pape's Cold Compound" ev ery two hours until you have taken three doses, then all grippe misery goes and your cold will be broken. It promptly opens your clogged-up nos trils and air passages of the head; stops nasty discharge or nose run ning; relieves the headache, dull ness, feverlshness, sore throat, sneez ing, soreness and stiffness. Don's stay stuffed-up! Quit blow ing and snuffling. Ease your throb bing head—nothing else in the world gives such prompt relief as "Pape's Cold Compound," which costs only a few cents at any drug store. It acts without assistance, tastes nice, and causes no inconvenience. Accept no substitute. these Italian soldiers are still alert; their talk and gesture are vivacious. It was astonishing to mo to see sol diers chatting gaily as they marched by us, for I have long 1 been seeing on the western front men go by in the regiments of relief, silent with set faces, strong to endure but too weary to talk. Italy is now full of sad heroic stories; true stories of the simple peasants who climbed the inaccessi ble, and held staunch against odds. There is the man who came from the fcur days and four nights at JBuole Pass, which was a Pass of Thermop olae for the men who saved a por tion of Italy by refusing to retreat. This man came to a friend of mine, and he had gone speechless under the strain. When he tried to' tell what he had seen there was only one sing ing note left in his voice. At the same pass, with one of the detach ments, there came a time under the enemy Are when all the officers were kijSed, and the chaplain took com lrutfid and continued the lighting. His name is Reverend Capeltan Carlettl, and he still serves his men in the same district. To help in raising the war loan, there is a vigorous' cartoon pasted on liousewalls throughout Italy. It shows a peasant soldier looking up a. sheer cliff, and he lias carved one foothold in the rock with the pick which he swings, not as* a bowed toiler but lightly and dauntlessly as if It were a holiday ventuve. I think that catches the spirit of the Italian soldier as we have geen liim. He has climbed and conquered with vivacity! and his imagination has widened with each new height. Surely it is* seldom that the challenge of grim things lias been more happily met than by this fighter of Italy, as he goes forward sturdy and smiling. It is now the privilege of the Americans and Eng lish to share in the work of keeping him cheerful. 35 Letters Required For "Tank" in German By Associated Press Washington, Oct. 31.— Thirty-five letters are required to spell the one word which in German is the equiva lent to the four-letter English "tank" or land battleship, which has worked such havoc in the present war. The German word as it appears in offi cial dispatches received here is "schutzengrabenvernichtungautomo - bile" which freely translated Is a "machine for suppressing shooting trenches." PRINCE CHRISTIAN PASSES AWAY London, England.—Prince Chris tian is dead at his home here.

OBJECTED TO GRACE Reading, Pa.—"Cussing" his wife because she said grace at the table Is one of the allegations that resulted in a report being filed by a master, recommending a divorce for Mrs. Esther Irene Fegley, of Syracuse, N. Y„ from Howard J. Fegley, of Kutz town, this county. The allegations are that Fegley kicked his wife into a corner, and that he once struck her because she did not prepare a rabbft according to his idea. The couple were married eight years ago, but did not separate until last April. ONE-MAN BUSINESSES London, England.—The Minister of National Service recently received a deputation from the National Asso ciation of Business Men with refer ence to the calling ,up for military service of proprietors of "one-man businesses."

Will you help to make this Christmas a Merry Christmas for our boys in France? Yes, it's costing you a lot to live these days everything's gone up in price, 'way up—it's hard enough for a fellow to "break even." But wait a minute: thousands of young fellows from all dver these United States are now in France. They've gone over to a strange country, among strange people and given up everything mothers, fathers, wives, money, jobs, everything just so that you, another human being they probaby never saw or never will see, can continue to live right here in peace and comfort. Don't you owe them something for all that? Don't you? Isn't it up to you —isn't it yqur duty to make some little sacrifice for them? The Golden Rule is still a rule, you know. Well then, here's the one thing our boys in France want probably more than they s want any other one thing—they want "smokes"! And they can't have them—just can't have them—not unless you dig down right now and see that they can have them. All Christmas Contributions must be in by 12 noon, November 3rd. If you knew what comfort and pleasure and satisfaction that tobacco bought with your quarter, or your half dollar, or your dollar, or your five dollars (go as high as you like) would give to some American boys in f France this Christmas, you'd forget the money, or the little sacrifice, or anything else. Dig down—deep and quick! 25c buys 45c worth of "smokes." SI.OO buys a month's supply of tobacco. $5.00 buys enough to keep 5 men in tobacco for a month. And remember: Every package of tobacco sent to our boys in France contains a return post card, addressed to you, which he'll mail to you if he can possibly do so. That's a war souvenir worth having! So that your tobacco can get to France by Christmas and say "Merry Christmas" to our boys—all remittances must be received not later ' than November 3rd.

RADICAL SOCIALIST, DECISIONS Paris, France. —The Radical So cialist Congress to-day adopted reso lutions urging that the sole conduct of the war should be Intrusted to the high command whose requirements the government should carry out, de manding "more energetic conduct of the war and the distribution of the common allied forces, so as to har monize military development with economic needs, and demanding measures to hasten victory which should assure the return of Alsace- Lorraine nnd necessary penalties, guarantees and reparation. UNDERSTAND THIS NOW! CATARRH CAN BE RELIEVED S. S. S. Has Proven to Be a Blood Purifier That Will Cleanse the Vital Fluid and Carry Off the Impurities. The very Catarrh is often considered to be nothing more than a bad head-cold or in flammation of the membranes of the nose and throat has caused many people to go through years of suffering, who might have been fully restored to health had they realized that the supposed cold ivi the head was not a local trouble only, but that they had become infected with the germs of a and dangerous disease. It; is true that Catarrh usually begins with a cold in the head, and this supposed cold may have been caused by infection through proximity to infected persons in a closed street car or room, inhaling the germs when someone coughed or sneezed; but, however the infection oc curs, 'the poisons which are tbkcn into your system, utimate ly find their way into your blood and the supposed cold becomes a constitutional trouble/that will affect every part of your body. The poisoned blood circulating through your system will carry these germs to the very source of your vitality. Look out for these symptoms for there is no more annoying or dangerous disease than Catarrh. There's a continual discharge from the nostrils, buzzing in the cars that grows worse and worse, sometimes leading to deafness, scabs in the nostrils, headaches, dripping in the throat, constant hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the disease the odor from the breath is very offensive. 11 LAMBS FIRING 910 A HEAD , Roswell, N. M.—What Is said to bo the highest price ever paid for rangd lambs in New Mexico has Just been paid for 4,000 lambs at Roswell. Captain de Bremond, owner of flock, who, before he became an American sheep-grower, was an offU cer in the Swiss army, is now captain, commanding the I'lrst New Mexico Field Artillery, recently ordered from. Its training camp at Albuquerue to an Atlantic port. In his absence Mrs. de Bremond has conducted the sheep ranch in the mountains near-, by. She received a check for $40,000 for the lambs, the entire lot going afl $lO per head. Catarrh is usually worse in witxd ter because of over-heated rooms and offices, and because the lowq temperature prevents a little re| tarrh, because it goes right intot the blood and assists it in re-l moving the catarrhal poison and; at the same time builds up thej entire system by its fine tonic ef-j feet. S. S. S. is a purely vege-i table remedy and not injurious] to the system, like mineral med| icines are. Catarrh sufferers will find the) consulting department helpful! in advising local treatment to bft; used with S. S. S.
