ROME. Jan. S.-Fiye grandsons OF
ItaIy's legendary hero, Garibaldi. were
lighting in France. An infantry regiment,
commanded by Pepplno Garibaldi OF Mex
lean fame, and composed OF Italians, art
lists, lawyers and students. tradesmen and
Ia borers. most OF them republicans and
quite a few anarchists and revolution
aries. was formed shortly after the war
broke ont and was recently ordered 10 the
front after five months Of hard training
Two out Of the five sons OF Gen. Riccl-
otti GariOald who following their
fathers example, offered their services
TO France as he did in 1870, have fallen.
Bruno Garibald was killed week ago.
while his young brother, Costanza, fell on
the day Rrunos body was conveyed to
Rome for burial
The news that he had lost another son
reached Gen. Ricciotti Garibaldi during
the interment OF the first one. lie kissed
the coffin containing the remains OF his
son and although his eyes were dry,
overpowered with grief he said, as IL
! speaking to his dead SON.
"Your brother will soon Join you. You
have both done your duty well and Italy
will svenge you"
The fact that two Italian volunteers in
French regiment should have been
killed. even II they were Garibaldi' =
grandsons, would appear to be quite in
significant during such a great war when
men are killed in thousands daily. And
vet the funeral OF Bruno Garibaldi in
Rome was decidedly n historical event, as
II was spontaneously attended by one
third OF the city's population. The mere
fact than 200. 900 people assembled in the
streets and barred their heads before a
coffin with the body OF young man
who died while fghting in France Is an
event OF the utmost significance which
can neither be explained nor understood
without a thorough knowledge OF Italy's,
or rather Rome's past history and tradi-
tons and the future aspirations of all
Italians.
