ROme.-Tutt' Ali is the name Of
Italy's youngest battleship. The name
means "All Wings" and it is not bad
~ chosen, for this ship dashes through
the ocean at the rate of the fastest
train that speeds across America. The
inventors are in the Italian navy, and
she was built in Italian shipyards with
Italian machinery and of Italian steel.
The inventors names, the ships ton
mage, it's present whereabouts, are all
a dead secret. But the fact remains
that "All Wings in her trial trip did
500 miles at three times the rate of
the fastest transatlantic ship.

thriving, just as it was on the rnil-

We climbed piles of debris from the
cathedral and wendell our way through
some OF the narrow streets until we
came to a place where it was possible
to enter the deep cheese cellars where,
in peace times, thousands of cheeses
are stored after being brought in from
the country roundabout.

deep cellars took us into one, where

If we were not afraid we would be

submarines were no such menace as
frequent bombardment. She smiled
and said the cellars were quite safe

were getting used to it.
