MILAN, Italy, Dec. 27.--One Of the
patients at a big military hospital here
is perhaps the greatest Italian hero
Of the war II singlehanded feats OF
daring make one hero. He Is Ser.
geant G. Morini of the Bersaglieri.
While on patrol at 5 O'Clock in the
morning at the gates OF Udine he
stopped German automobile in which
General Won Berrer was riding with
an adjutant and two soldier chauffeurs.
The sergeants first shot killed the
general. When the two chauffeurs
saw their general killed they leaped
from the car and fled in panic. The
adjutant, German captain, leaped
out, too, but not to flee. He grappled
with the Italian, and 1t was not until
they had staged firs-class rough
and-tumble fight on the highway that
the Boche was made prisoner.
Morini was detailed to the cycle
patrol on rear guard action. He was
wounded after his heroic engagement
and brought here to the hospital.

never heard such a talking person. Well neither had l. but I'm living in hopes ef repeating the experience. As heathen vessels of old were redeemed from profane use and consecrated to the service of the temple, so modern slang passes through a transforming process in Billy Sundays lips, and emerges slang glorified. A few things he does I'd rather he didn't Ga petty criticism that and 1 will admit that one less familiar with the heights of expression than Billy undoubtedly is, could not afford to descend to such depths of speech as Billy admittedly does
 But as he says, Gosh. there are things you do that I don't like It's merely one of Billy's ways-and Billy's ways are smashingly effectivea When he gets wound up and lines one out right over the state, you feel like --9llin~ 'Strike! and pitching your hat in the air. And best of all, Billy's enjoying it, too. He's almost as wholesomely tickled with himself as you are with him. He looks around with that indi- vidual Billy smile and chuckles aloud for all the world like he'd stuck in his thumb and pullel out a plum and said What a great boy am l. His humor's infectious, his smile irresistible I'm for him from start to finish, even if he does remove his collar.
 If you need spiritual uplift, or men tai stimulus or q fresh impetus to & better life Billy Sunday can help you See the man and hear his message and although you may not have gone to scoff (you may have gone to be enter tained) you will remain to pray.

But you can't have my seat I've got l,nxr 4- H1- me to it (And charge the slang to Billy--his credit is better than mine.)"
