Holding the Sack and the Italian Socialists in Crisis
The piece recalls a past game of holding a bag to catch snipe then shifts to a critique of Italian workers facing socialization proposals amid Bolshevik and German objectives. It argues socialization would ruin Italian industry, weaken government, and empower foreign powers, warning of potential national downfall akin to Knasia. It contrasts wartime Italian industry with postwar risks and asserts Italians resist tyranny, warning of a Spartacus-like revolt.

Cost of travel exasperates Americans in Central Europe
Associated Press reports travel costs for Americans in Central Europe and the Balkans are rising as frontiers charge passport visas at rates equal to the U S government fee. Visa costs may reach 40 to 50 dollars for crossings. Germans and Austrians led the higher charges, with Hungary and others following. Frontiers scrutinize passports more rigorously, hindering passage home for foreign citizens. Budapest hosts thousands stranded by new frontier rules, including Hungarians now in Serbia and Romanians in the region. American offices in Budapest endure constant requests for help to return to the United States or reach home in Szecho Slovakia and nearby states.
