Modem Joan of Arc Of Italy
By c. Kay Spencer

IL was dusk in the Carnic Alps
The deep green hues of the mountain
forests were blending in the cleaning.
and restful gloom was setteng down
In the mountains. Insects hummed
and droned among the blue grass of
the pastures. Devious pathways cut
an uncertain course through the volup-
tuous color of the 'egetati n.
Along one of these overgrown guild
Ing ways a regiment of the Italian
Bersaglieri was making tortuous
ascent. The crests OF the plume u.
their helmets were rustled ~ mel
low breaths from the Adriatic, and the
gravel was crunching under rough
shod soldier feet. Otherwise no sound
came from this redOubtable column.
For these men were moving forward
to attack an enemy position which
their air forces had failed TO locate
all through humid day of death.
The Austrian battery had swept
with whitening waves of steel the
backs Of these hoary Italian mountain
crests. Thirteen thousand of Italias
first line troops had yainly endeavored
iass the enemy emplacements. The
iblOod Of Italy's sons dried on every
leaf and gravel path, and her wounded
lay where the Red Cross could never
reach-at the feet of these eternal
lilies, mangled masses of human flesh.
The BerSaglleri, Italy's strange,
swiit-ioplng infantry, was going into
the action; expert, accurate marks
men, every man.
The advanced patrols and several
'on the TANKS had engaged enemy pa
trolls several times and had only sue
cacded in adding to the perplexities
OF the situation.
suddenly there was a challenge, an
oath in Italian, and presently cor
pural was seen making his way to the
main body. With him was woman

They soon encounter their own ad-
vanced patrols and, joining they make
precarious way over piles of age
worn rock.
Direct to the task she leads them.
She fights with them; her pistol spit
ting its doses of death into enemy
breasts; her cheers ringing shrilly
"'''' Nii' IDtS,
and steel firing steel ON its errand
into enemy vitals.
The encounter was violent and de-
cisive. The Austrlans were routed
TO be technically correct-were ami
hilated. The Italians occupied the
position and signalled headquarters
the location Of adjacent enemy out
posts. The result was the eventual
occupation by the Italian armies Of the
entire Austrian system on that sector.
In Rome, a few days later, ''medal
TO military valor" was struck and pre-
scented to coy young girl, who in
sisted that she had done nothing re-
markable in thus serving her country.
Italian poets and novelists are per
petuating her name and exploit. She
is the idol Of King yictor's soldiers.
Her real name Is Maria Abrlani, but
the men in the Bersaglieri know her
as Jeanne dare d'Italia.
