LOCAL ITALIAN IS
 THIRSTY FOR WAR
Edson Street Man Just Longing to Charge the Enemy Even If
 Only With His Bare Knuckles


 Only With His Bare Knuckles.
 The fears that Michael Mauro of Edson street has been entertaining for his nephew Daniel Mascelo, who enlisted several months ago with the Italian army, were entirely banished yesterday when he received word from him that he is safe. Mascelo is very optimistic in his letter concerning the future of Italy and he is positive that his country will conquer.
 When the call for reserves was sent to this country Mascelo, who resided With relatives on Edson street, was one of the first patriots to leave this city. A few days before the fourth of July he laid aside his work at the Corbin Cabinet Lock company and bidding his many friends farewell left for his native land.
 On his arrival in Italy, the young man states in his letter, he reported to headquarters. He was given short leave of absence to pay a visit to his parents. On his return from the visit he was enrolled with the Sixty-Third regiment of infantry, which at pres ent is training at Naples. In a few more days, he writes, he will leave for the front, which is the ambition of his life.

 lenders will be elected This may bring up the problem of when is 0 dance objectionable? The council made an attempt some time ago to sift the wheat from the chaff and to regulate dances but after several meetings of a special committee had been held the matter was abandoned.

SUN BEGINNING TO
 SHINE FOR GILDEA
Stranger Harbored by Local Charity Organization and Is Sent on
 His Way Rejoicing.

The world looked dark and dreary for Edward Gildea when he applied for assistance at the New Britain Charity organization yesterday after noon. When he left short time later it had gained an entirely different aspect and was grand old place after all. '
 According to the story told to Miss Elsie Osborne's assistant at the or ganization, Gildea had left his wife and three children in Chicopee bound for Hartford, where position had been promised him at his trade in a rubber factory. When he left his home he had but $1.50. On arriving in the Capital City he went to the fac tory where the position had been promised but much to his disappoint- ment he learned that his services were not required. With a heavy heart he left Hartford for this city, where he learned that positions were open in a number of local factories.
 As a last hope Gildea asked for as- sistance at police headquarters and he was referred to the charity board, which in turn sent him to the charity organization. He told Miss Osborne's assistant straightforward story of his hardship. If he could only secure enough money to convey him to New Haven he would be able to secure position in the l.. Candee Rubber company of that city. He said that he had worked there number of years before and named the superin- tendent without the least hesitation. Upon inquiry it was learned there was a superintendent at the place with the name given by Gildea. Fur thermore if Gildea, came there at once a position would be given him at his trade.
 Words could not express Gildea's gratitude. The man seemed to be almost overcome with happiness and his face beamed with joy.
 He was given a good supper by the charity organization and an order for a ticket to New Haven. It was also arranged to have him secure a nights lodging at the New Haven Charity or ganization.
 When Gildea arrived here he only had only two cents left in his pocket and with this he secured a two-cent stamp and at once dispatched a letter to his wife and family informing them of his good fortune.

of both the embassy and the depart

Secretary Bryan said he had heard
nothing about the case and, OF
course, would not have anything to
say about it until it was before him
officially.
There was much comment in OIL
fetal circles upon the probability mat
VanHorn would set up claim OF
immunity from extradition on the
ground that his offense was political,
not criminal. 1t was said. however.
that even If such claim were recog-
nized the prisoner probably would he
