an actor in the alleged halcyon days. Nat
urally he couldn't help telling the bar
tender all about the horrible play. Their
he explained that his tears were due to
disgust. When the bartender heard the
plot he agreed that something should be
done. Other customers who sauntered in
agreed on hearing the drama that the
time had come to call halt.

AS ITALIANS HONOR
GIOVANNI RAMAGLI
Victory for Arms of Their Ma
tive Land Predicted at Ban
quet to Star of Italy
President
NEW ERA is EXPECTED

The dawn of new era for Italy, the
birth Of a new race of Italians imbued
with vigorous new spirit new thoughts
and blessed with new opportunities as the
result of the war in Europe. together
with victory for the Allies and the final
and crushing defeat of German militarism,
we're predicted last night at one of the
most patriotic meetings ever held in Phil.
adelphia.
Three hundred italian men and women,
who assembled in the banquet hall of the
Continental Hotel at dinner in honor OF
Giovanni Ramagli, president Of the Star
of Italy Association, Numbered their APP
plause and some wept tears of joy. as the
speakers painted i'm glowing terms the
italy that Is to he when the smoke has
cleared from the battlenelds.
Italy's part I'm the war which some
speakers said had been misunderstood, was
defended in emphatic terms. That nation,
it was pointed out, far from conducting
a selfish war, Is daily giving the blood OF
her sons and breaking the hearts of her
mothers and daughters, for the same
ideals that inspired Garbaldi and MAJ
zini and for the same ideals for which
the United States fought England more
than a century ago.
Patriotism, kndled by the inspiring air
of the Marcia Reale" burst forth when
call was MADE 10 drink 10 tne SuCCSSS w
the Italian arms. "Niva ltaliiaI' they
cried time and again, while glasses were
raised aloft only to be drained as If In
taste of victory. Men embraced each
other in several instances, and women
wept--so deep was their emotion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ramagli received touching
and fatterinE tributes. Mr. Ramagli has
been president of the association for hVe
years. and the speakers We'd with each
other in showering him with compliments
in poetry and prose. kilograms of tribute
to him for the occasion, from Italians in
other Eastern cities stacked the centre of
the honor table.
Giovanni Dl Silvestro took the banquet
ers by storm in what probably was the
most forceful address of the evening.
LIST OF SPEAKERS.
The list of speakers included: Filippo
Sinatra, master of ceremonies; Francesca
Rizzi vice president of the committee;
Giuseppe Mercurio, Clarence p. Culin,
Gugenio Alessandroni, DR.. V. NJ. Diodati,

for his part in making the arrangements.
The banquet was followed by ball. An
nouncement was made by the toastmas-
ter that the only sad feature of the
celebration was the absence Of Ernesto
Vece, president of the committee who
received word yesterday that his father
had died in Italy. kilograms of con-
doence were sent to the family.
