| Here stlli Liable for Military Service.
Chicago, Dec. 17.--MlnIster OF War
Mocennl of the Italian government Is
now In correspondence with Count
Rozwadowski, King Humbert's consul
at Chicago, concerning question Of
enforced service for an American citi-
zen In the Italian army.
Oscar Durnnte, naturallyed Ameri-
can citizen editor Of the Chicago
LItalia and for second time mu-
nlcipal office holder, has been ordered
to report for n physical examination
to determine his fitness for service us n
soldier of Italy. Early next week, In
pursuance of these orders, Mr. Duranto
will report at the office of the con-
sulate and will submit to an cxamin-
alton.
Mr.. Durante says that owing to the
diplomatic policy between Italy and the
United States, 1t Is necessary to acqui-
escc In this demand of King Humbert,
If he wishes TO escape arrest, imprison-
ment and enforced military duty Oh thu
occasion of any future visit to his
fathcrland.
To emphasize the claim that Presi-
dent Cleveland should deal with the
Italian government in vigorous fashion,
Mr.. Durante declares that there are
now doing enforced duty in the army
of Italy several Chicago men, nntural-
lied American citizens, who Were
snatchcd up by the royal guards OF
Italy while on visits to their kindred
The last case happened within Il year,
Mr.. Durante says, and although the
newspapers Of this country made men,
ton of 1t at the time, the matter was
dropped with the Chicagoan deprived of
liberty and chance that he may be
required 10 serve full five years.
Italy refuses to recognize the rights
Of its subjects to give allegiance to
foreign powers. Even children who
leave Italy are kept on the list for
army duty. Italy claims all who have
ever owed allegiance to its government,
and although unable to enforce the
claims ON alcnated subjects rs long rs
they remain away, once let them re-
turn, Mr. Durantc says, and the agents
Of the Italian government, who watch
trains and vessels, seize them and
throw them into prison. They are II
able TO Incarceration for six months be-
sides the army service.
This program Is carried on by arc
fractory" system OF which every con-
sulatc in other lands is Il part Count
Rozwadowski has transacted the bus
mess in Mr.. Durante's case and the
Chlcacoan awaits the issue with deep
concern, hoping for the discovery Of
some physical disqualification against
military duty.
