AROUND WORLD
STUDENT-PEDESTRIAN OF ROME,
ITALY, HAS WALKED MORE
THAN 1900 MILES
Struck Moscow in His Journey Today
And Will Lecture at University
Assembly Wednesday

| Having Just completed 14,100 miles
of walking trip around the world
Marcus Barone of Rome, Italy, ar
rived in Moscow this morning for q
short stay. Mr.. Barone is a repre-
sentative of the Young Mems Civic
League of the Immortal City and he is
circling the globe in the interests OF
that association.
Mr.. Barone has been on the road
almost two and one-half years, hav-
ing left Rome on June 4, 1912. He
walked from Rome to Naples and there
embarked for New York.
From New York he travelled south
along the Atlantic coast, touching at
all the important points of interest
and making a short trip to Cuba. He
went from Cuba into Mexico and had
an opportunity to fraternise with both
the Huerta and Carranza forces then
in the field against each other.
Coming up from Mexico Mr.. Barone
travelled through Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado, and Wyoming, into Montana
and thence to Idaho. In all of his
walking in this country this young
Italian pedestrian has gone through
% states
From Moscow he will probably
through Washington, Oregon, and
California to San Francisco where he
will embark for Japan and continue
his trip through the Orient.
Mr.. Barone has received fine edu-
action, having graduated from one of
the best of the Italian universities and
his command of English is really re-
oil
from any trace of foreign accent. Il
spoke better English when | landed
than / do now" he said yesterday, be
cause I have picked up SO many slang
expressions in travelling through your
country"
Mr.. Barone supports himself while
on the road by his painting and MS
lecturing. He is an artist of no mean
skill and he has been a great drawing
card wherever he has lectured.
Brownie" an Indian mongrel dog, IS
the young pedestrians only road com
panion. The dog carries small pack
with the letters Around the World
tackled on it and he bears his burden
and we'll. Brownies" only
weakness lies in a rabbit-chasing pro-
clivity that keeps him pretty well
worn-out dog all the time.
Naturally, Mr. Barone is very much !
interested in the present struggle IN
"I believe that Italy Will
be drawn into the war as
an ally of the Fernch and English,
ne said austria robbed Italy OF two
If her provinces when she was IN
weakened condition and the ltallans
Ire eager for a chance at revenge.
Mr.. Barone has been studying the
indians of the United States very close
v and he may go to the Nez Perce
reservation before leaving this part OF
he country.
He picked up Brownie" his dog
m the Cherokee reservation in North
Carolina.
This student-pedestria will lee
omorrow morning in the university
auditorium and he was high in his
raise of the beauty of the administra-
ion building when he was a visitor On
he varsity campus this morning
That building reminds me of some
inc English cathedral I have seen,
le said "It certainly is beautiful ,
iece of architecture"
Mr.. Baroness lecture will be deliver
d at the regular 10 o'clock assembly
our at the university tomorrow morn
ng and cordial invitation to attend !
as been extended to everyone.
