Soldiers, women, youths, people let us have
for the moment but one heart, one thought, enc
desire, one cry in souls, one cry IN our lps-"We
will have country; Se will have an Italy," ahd
an Italy shall be.
Attack, bresk at every point the long and weak
line of the enemy. Prevent them from concentra-
ting themselves by killing or dispensing their SOL
derS, destroying roads and bridges. DlSorganize
them by striking at their officers. Ceaselessly
pursue fugihves; be q war with the knife Make
of the tiles of your houses Of the stones OF the
Streets of the tools your trades, OF the iron of
your crosses. Spread the alarm by wntch-fres

the death of the enemy.
Wherever you are victorious move forward at
once 10 the aid of those nea.est you. Let the in.
Surrection grow like an avalanche. Wherever the
chance goes against you; run 10 the gorges, the
mountains, the fortresseS given you by nature
Everywhere the battle will have broken out, every.
where you will find brothers, and, strengthened by
the victories gained elsew Where, you will descend
into the field again the day after. One only be
our flag-the flag of the nation. In pledge of our
fraternal unity, write it the words "G od and the
People;' they alone are powerful ID conquer, they
| alone do not betray. 1t is the Republican flag
which, in AS and '49, saved The honor of Italy; it
is the flag OF ancient Venice it is the flag of Rome
eternal Rome--tle sacred metropolis, the tenn
pie Of Italy and the world
Purify yourselves fighting beneath that flag. Let
the Italian people arise, worthy Of the God who
guides them! Let woman be sacred; let age and
| childhood be sacred; let property be sacred. Pun

the arms. powder and uniforms Ia en- from the TO-
reign soldiers.
To arms, to arms! Our last word is the battle
cry. Let the men you have chosen to lead you
SEM forth 10 Europe, on the morrow, the cry of
victory.
