boosting Italians in all references
of sport. / don't believe that the
public could render a decision on
such suspicion, therefore don't see
how they can say that the public
knew they were Italians. IS. o. &
Co.." in the second part, to avenge
yourself, is my proposition-you make
it known that you are Thorough
Americans" Now you are opposed by
problem, which is going to cause
much thought and difficulty-I ask of
you to solve this problem and reveal
to the public how you can be Italians
and thorough Americans? OF course,
if the Co" were all born on a border
line, then they are natives of both
lands. There is no denying that fact.
But such could not be the case with
you, rs. o. & Co.." as Italy does not
border America. Now, IS. o. & Co"
what are you going to be. an Ameri-
can or Italian? Don't feel embar-
raised; allow the public to know.
wish to inform you that | did not
exercise any detective energy; 1t was
all suspicion, as I said herein, that
would not give a decision as to the
certainty of your nationality. You
also refer to America not having rules
or style for fencing. You again act
in defense of your country, Italy. You
related to ]. P. N. that there was no
American style fencing. OF course,
you made manifest that 1t was diff
ferent, but it was italian. | don't be-
lieve that there is any penalty for
infringing on the Italian style. Now,
II America revised the style and rules
of Italy, she has exclusive right to
them. You can now study up the
problem Of nationalities and let us
have them as soon as possible. Ter
minating for the present, with no Ill
feelings.
THOROUGH AMERICAN.
