helped to bring italy into the war. This
Is an aspect of his career not by any
means generally understood, says the
New York Evening Post.
In the spring of 1915 Italy was still
uncertain as to her final decision. Clio
Htti, advocate of peace, while no longer
in control of the government still re-
tanned enormous political power. The
action of the country was as yet
doubtful, when this maker of over
wrought, sensuous poetry and prose-
this writer who had been termed the
last word in decadent and hothorse
literature landed on his native soil
after a five years absence, and com
menced his crusade. The ostensible
reason for his visit was an address he
had to make at Quarto, where 81 years
before Garibaldi had embarked with
his valiant thousands" the real object
his desire to drive Italy into the war.
From Quarto his trip to Rome was "a
triumphal progress, punctuated with
impassioned oratory. He arrived in
Rome Just in time to forestall Giolitti,
who had forced the Salandra cabinet
TO announce it's resignation.
One hundred and fifty thousand
people welcomed D'Annunzio in the
Piazza dele Terme. In the chamber
of deputies he was hailed as the cOun-
trys savior, and the Italian parliament
answered his appeal withea declaration
of war. Surely a strange Tyrtaeus,
out one not afraid TO sacrifice his life
ON behalf of his country.
