TORRIENTE 



Austria, Senator Torriente took an active 

 part in presenting and urging the principal 

 laws dealing with the war, among them the 

 act for Aid to the Allies which was due to 

 his initiative and became law on the 

 fifteenth of May, 1918. By this there was 

 granted a credit of $2,400,000 annually, 

 to support the civil populations in the war 

 zones of Europe and to succor the soldiers 

 who were victims of the war, and their 

 families. He was President of the Cuban 

 National Committee created by the law of 

 Propaganda for the war and of Aid to its 

 Victims. In recognition of his labors and 

 efforts the French Republic has conferred 

 upon him the decoration of an Officer of 

 the Legion of Honor and he has received 

 the thanks of the Government of Great 

 Britain.
