Madame Jouvenal, wife of the French Ambassador at Rome Germaine Sarah Hément , sat beside

Item 22
Transcription: fight with teeth and claws to keep what we have. If I were "on the other side of the fence" I, too, would use bombs," etc. Amazing and interesting. I told her I would put her and the Communists in jail if I were responsible for the government of a country. (There is a set of these Right Wing extremists here. The last I talked to was also an American - Mrs. Abraham, - married to an English Secretariat man.) An elderly American architect, visiting Geneva was at the dinner. He told Elsie that "Roosevelt is the enemy of our class"! 13th Film of the League being made. Sat in the corner of the Council room with others while a reel was made. My only movement was to shake hands with Podesta Costa! Evelyn Wood, a son of a former Irish Commander-in-Chief in India, has sent me a book by one of the modern young poets - Bryan Guinness. ten years. I have read very little poetry in the last eight or ten years. Wood is married to a Co Down girl - who for some reason looks like a pearl of the Orient, in spite of her Irish blue eyes. He is a good talker, & very idealistic in regard

Item 23
Transcription: to Indian life. He was thinking of joining a small cooperative community in India to be run as a model by literary folks. (Like Standish O'Grady's old plan for Ireland in 1911). But he writes to me saying he has been "sacked", "a victim to Indian fascism." Some of these Irish soldiers (as Sir George White) produce surprising progeny. Ernest Blythe writes that, in view of the coming Election, he has had to decline to be a candidate for the Dail - "I do not feel my feet sufficiently firmly set in the business world to stand in the very front rank of a Party which is going to be defeated," he writes. I agree, & the Lord knows, Ernest has given all of himself for the land. He is now Secretary of the new Clondalkin Paper Mfg. Co. Perhaps the proposed Commission on ministers' salaries & pensions will bring a little more security to his situation.

Ratne bojne dopisnice - Feldpost iz Prvog svjetskog rata
22 Items
Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Dumitru Nistor prizonier de război în Japonia
160 Items
Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
