INTERESTING LETTER FROM WO
MAN WHO HAS' RESIDED MANY
YEARS IN FLORENCE TELLS OF
EXISTING CONDITIONS
A letter from Italy, written by Mrs.
Mary H. Klngore to her daughter, Mrs.
J. P. Sattertee of this city, confirms
the report In the papers that all Eu
rope Is depending on America now to
win the war. Tbejfollowlng extracts
from a letter written by an American
woman who has lived in Florence for
eight years, and who understands the
spirits and hopes ,and fears of the
Italians, are unusually Interesting.
"Nobody here knows or has any idea
as to how long the war will last, yet
everyone fears it Is going to go on In
terminably. All eyes are turned to
ward the United States, and if Amer
ica does not get In some good work
soon, all will be lost.
"We had a terrible fright the other
night No one knew that the city was
irolr.g to make an experiment to see If
the bombarding apparatus was In
working order, so about 11:30 .1 was
awakened by lerrlej bombardment re
ports. Cannon and bell all over the
city began to ring, and the sirens to
blow and whistle, and I was sure It
was the Austrians, for we are expect'
ing them any time. You have no Idea
the fright It creates In your soul. We
soon found out the cause of,our alarm
nnd were at ease again. Some say the
Austrians can't get here, but many of
the best informed seem to think it is
Just a question of whether they want
to or not.
"Women In America do not realize
the work they should be doing to help
win tbi war. You may be sure there
Isn't a woman In Germany who doesn't
dedicate her whole soul and body to
her country.
"The sick are all kept in hospitals,
but ono sees quantities of men lack
Ing one arm or a leg,. or one or both
eyes. The streets are full of them go
ing out for walks, accompanied by
some one.
"No American boys are here yet,
altho thero are a number at the Italian
front
"Prices are simply abnormal. Chick'
ens cost $2.25 and up, and the best
meat $2.60 per pound. Potatoes are
about 20 cents a pound, and milk and
eggs are unobtainable at any price."

SPLENDID. TALK BY MILITARY
VETERAN LAST EVENING ORt
CHESTRA COVERS ITSELF WITH
GLORY IN FINAL APPEARANCE
The Commencement exercises at the
Houston opera house last night proved
as happy a function as could have
been wished for. The graduating clasa
of twenty-nine, made a One appearance
and the salutatory address by Miss
Alma Brookfleid and the Valedictory
by Miss Pearl Leavltt were unusually
well rendered and well composed.
They represented appropriately a
class that has been well trained by effi
cient teachers.
The musical features of the program
consisted of two well selected rendi
tions by the high school orchestra, and
were splendid. Last evening's per
formance of tbla orchestra marked Us
farewell appearance, as all but one of
the members were in the graduating
class.
Two fine numbers', "The Call of
Summer" and "Springtime," were giv
en bythe girls' chorus, under the dl
rctlflb of Professor Marlon 'Taylor.
The unique and thrilling feature of
the program and the one which stirred
the audience as no other address has
for a long time, was the inimitable
graduating address of Colonel John
leader, now military Instructor of the
Unlverslty'of Oregon, Colonel of the
First Irish Rifles, a British regiment
which was bathed In blood and singed
in the flames at the battlo front in
France, when tho Teuton wave were
stemmed and finally hurled back dur
ing their first great offensive, and
when bleeding France and endangered
England were saved rrom the kaiser's
destroying hordes.
Colonel Leader, who was spared to
trls country on account of his wounds,
haa brought home to us a realisation
of what war is, that we are actually In
it, and that we ourselves cannot es
capo If we would, our part in this
awful cataclysm of horror that even
threatens our homes and country.
Colonel Leader's address was entire
ly different from the usual exhortation
to the graduates, but It is certain that
his subject was the theme that la
now of more Interest to us than any
other subject could possibly be, not
only to graduates, but to all others.
