Foremost among the revolutionary chiefs whom the
events Of 1913 brought into notice NUT be recboDed
the Italian General, Garabald The sympathy which
has always been given IN the unhappy people whose
land is at present the theater of war-A sympathy
which even now almost neuraizes our senss Of the
dangers Of French aggressi0n-has been greatly In
creased Of late years by the deeds Of such ho
partisan leader who is now keeping No thorn LON
bardy in alarm. Indeed, the events vi 1919 have al
most been sufficient Ia wipe away the stain which tho
ignorance prejudice Of sges had fixed on the Italian
military character. Whnt.ver may have been the de-
fciencles courage and patriotism OF the race among
whom the young Gen. Bonapare burst "a years ago,
no one will have the hariibood o deny the Italians
of the presert day spirit and an apu-
tnde for warlke exploits equal to thc~e OF
other European nations. The defense OF Rome,
taken by the French only after regular siege,
and by means Of immense Of troops, and tue
defense Of Venice with still greater energy and desper
alton are remarkable events in the history Of people
which has had real military education, nor the in
dependence which is thought necessary to create
patriotic and devoted spirit. Although the present
war will no doubt be fought out by Of dlscip-
lined troops concentrated forthe attack and defense VI
