Rome,- In spite of the low fttnte of
national finance Italy Is attempting to
carry out a bioftd piogrum for the
relief 'of war veterans and the uni'Mi
t'<l l>.\ nutans ot land reclamation
ami other piddle works.
.Italy deals with its problem of war
veterans through (lie Opera Nazlotmle
del Combattent.l, organized in Decern
ber. 1017, with an Initial capital of
300, 0<KUKH) lire, of which the govern
ment contributed 2G0.(X)0,000. . The
opera has a social section for voca
tional training and placing, a tlnanclul
section for providing credit to IndU
-vWimt soldiers or co-operative groups,
and an agricultural section, which
concentrates on land reclamation.
Relief for Unemployed.
The general unemployment problem
continues to be taken seriously by the
government, although there Is no fear
now of revolutionary outbreaks ?s the
result of the lack of work. In the last
few weeks the number of unemployed
has decreased slightly, but there are
still inftre tlmp half a million men out
of work. Arrangements are almost
completed for starting the publlt
works authorized last August for the
relief of the situation, but at the
moment the apportioning of funds and
the Increase of the amount of work to
be undertaken Is occupying the cham
ber of deputies. The public works
appropriation is the parliamentary
pork barrel of the country.
Signor IUcclo, minister of public
works. Is attempting to hold the bal
nnce between the deputies competing
for apportionments and to protect the
national budget from being swamped
with more projects than it can stand.
He stated in the chamber the other
day that in the first three months of
this year there has already been jw*ld
ont for labor on public works 1,300,
000,000 lire, as against 258.000,000 in
the whole year of 1014. He added
that although the minister of finance
bad authorized the expenditure of
8,000,000,000 more for public labor
this year, he did nol sen where the
money was coming from.
The grave depression In the nctal
lurgieal districts of Milan and '1 urln
Is threatening to throw more men on
the streets, and as usual the condi
tion of unemployment In the province
of Emilia ts widespread.
The situation In Kuillia is typical of
the sort of problem Italian state ofll
clals have to face. For the last 20
years the province has been greatly
overpopulated, but the surplus citi
zens have refused to eudgate. There
Is therefore a chronic floating popu
lation of day laborers who practically
are a chanje on the state.
Plans of Reclamation.
The government's policy of public
works is a sound one in thai the
tpoiyy i ? coil St 1 1 lit OH IllV 4'i4t
tnent which in future years will more
than pay for itself. Instead of pro
viding "busy work" the ministry is
carrying out a far-sighted scheme for
the transformation of malarial marsh
! .lands into fertile territory. Since
1800 the govern meat has obtained
more than 330,000.000 lire In pl^
value from Its reclaimed lands. For
this work the government spent 57,
783,310 lire for reclaiming 304.027
acres, and private consortiums spent
an equal amount, but recovered 304,
027 acre*. This year the government
has appropriated 90, t. 00,000 lire for
reclamation of land In eight provinces
and work began In March.
Other projects of the government
are equally constructive. Roads and
railways are being built In Sicily and
Calabria, and In tbe latter province
the government Is building artificial
lakes to store water for the hydro
electric plants In the Slla pbiteau.
This part of the country being dry,
Irrigation and not draining Is the
problem, and the government has of
fered to help local irrigation consor
tiums by paying one-third of the cost
of Irrigation projects of benefit to the
| whole country.

LINCOLN'S BROTH ER-IN-LA W
WAS CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
Thy .follow fcuiof account ot' Dr.
(Jeorge Todd* who was a devoted ?ur
geon in the Confederate* army, was
$ flit eh by Mrs. A. C. A-ncruin, of
Cnnulen, S. C. 'JThe fact that Dr,
Todd was a brother-in-law of Abra
ham Lincoln. Iwds additional interest
to the sketch. It lias been sent to
The News anil Courier by Mi;s, A n -
01 urn's son, Mr. Thomas Anrnini, wth
the comment that, although "this pa
per was written a number ot* years
. ? . the facta remain the .same."
Mr, Alteram says further that his
mother, "in spite of her advanced
?years, continues writing for local his
torical societies."
"At the old Quaker cemetery at
Camden, S, C., there are many graves
of the Confederate soldiers who went
from this town and vicinity, most of
which bear names and dates, but, as
in many southern cemeteries, there
are many others which bear the sad
inscription, 'unknown,' and it is the
self-imposed duty. of the ladies of the
Memorial association to see that not
one but that has its laurel wreath and
bunch of sweet spring" flowers on each
Memorial Day in memory of their
heroic defense of their country.
"The ceremonies on that day are
simple but very impressive and never
fail to draw a large crowd or cease to
bo of mournful interest. Not long
ago it was determined to' make a list
of all the soldiers whose bodies lay
in the old cemetery awaiting the roll
call on judgment day and have the
names re-ad aloud on Memorial Day,
and when the names of the dead were
solemnly called by a white-haired
| veteran we realized, as never before,
t how many from this small communi
[ ty had given their lives for their
i country
"Among the names rend thut day
was that of a brother-in-law of Abra
ham Lincoln, Dr. George Todd, and it
seemed that a mistake had been made
by placing it among those who fought
for southern rights, but inquiry
proved the fact that he had been a
Confederate soldier and had 'given aid
to the rebellion.' His rank was that
of surgeon and he had charge, near
the close of the war, of a temporary
hospital on lower Broad street of this
town. It was here he met a beauti
ful southern girl (who afterwards
became his wife), as in the role of
'ministering angel/ she visited the
sick and wounded soldiers. They lived
here for a while and later in Barn
well, another South Carolina town,
who iv she died a few yunt'.H later, and
Ho continued to live until about ton
yotti'8 ago, he too, died ami his body
wit* brought here and laid beside that
of hi sit first love, She was before
her marriage Miss Mattie Lylos and
those who remember her dwell enthu
siast icall.x on hev. rare beauty and
t'hnnu of manner. It is not surpris
ing' that after his good fortune in win
ning the love of this fair southern
girl ho was willing to remain a eiti
'/,e?i of h?sr own beloved smith, and??.ay
'thy count ry sh^ll be my country.'
"It is not known when he came
or how hi hiippi netj to join our
aluny, but it as on id hy those whw
knew him intimately that he disliked
his brother-in-law, Lincoln, and was
very, bitter in his feelings against all
he stood for and that may be the,
reason why his name is never men
tioned in any accounts published of
the Lincoln, and Todd families. When
this story was offered to 'The Home
Journal," not long after they publish
ed, what purported to be a full ac
count of the Todd family, in which
no mention was made of this own
brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and their at
tention Was called to this fact, but
it was not accepted, as they said 'il
would not be expedient' to publish it
just now. Perhaps they thought it
would mortify his family to have it
known that one of them forsook his
home and friends 16 help tho south,
but it would seem that a groat-soul
ed, magnanimous man, like Abraham
Lincoln would have admired a man
who was willing not only to risk his
life, but to estrange friends and kin
dred, because he felt that he had to
do what he did if he would be true
to himself and his honest convictions.
"l>r. Todd's grave has never been
marked, and it would seem the boun
den duty of the U. D. C. to have a
headstone suitably inscribed placed
where bin body lies, and not be con
tent with decorating it once a year.
It was natural that our men should
have taken up arms in defense of
their firesides, but this ailen, who
espoused the cause of the south from
lofty, patriotic reasons is surely de
serving of all tho honor we can do
his memory, if those connected with
him by ties of blood do not look upon
it as their duty. He left one son and
namesake, who lived for a while out
west with his cousin, Robert Lincoln,
and afterwards came back to the
Houth and married in Augusta, Ga.,
and has now gone west a^rain, but
it is not known just where he is now."
