Thousands Are Eager to Go,
Impelled by Double Sense
of Patriotism
ToDefend Motherland

The "Bolletino della sera,- an Italian
daily newspaper OF New York, printed
on It's front page yesterday an appeal
20 President Wilson TO send Italian
Americana IN the United States army
20 the Italian front. In an article ex-
planatory Of its action the newspaper
requested its readers to sign the appeal
and send their signatures TO the Presi-
dent The appeal and a part Of the
newspapers argument in support OF 1t
follow:
"An appeal 70 our President to send
the Italian American soldiers TO help
and fight for Italy.
"As commander in chief Of the army
and navy of this great civilized coun-
try, we earnestly appeal to you to use
your influence and authority TO cor
vince the Allied Military Council to
send the large number Of American
soldiers with Italian names now en-
listed or drafted in our army to help
Italy and thus fight for this country.
MANY thousands Of Italians and
their sons, now living in America. are
anxious TO 90 and fight the invaders in
defence Of this, their country, their
home and the land where they were
born or where their fathers were born.
because of their customs, their
knowledge more or less Of the Italian
language, il will be an easy matter for
them 70 understand and learn military
instructions from the Italian officers.
They will be inspired with double sense
Of patriotism and thus fight with
greater courage and patriotic force, for
they will be fighting for our country
and their mother country.
"The possible objection that Ameri-
cas- non declaration of war against
Austria might prevent such convey
ance seems 10 US not valid for various
reasons:
First. because the United States,
having made war loans TO Italy, has
already committed hostilities against
Austria. Besides because the presence
Of strong German contingents on the
Italian front proves that the govern
ments Of Berlin and of Vienna con-
slider the Western front and the Italian
front as one and the same.
"The United States, the nation that
interviewed in the world war for 'un-
selfish reasons, for liberty and democ-
racy. must also be the defender OF the
indispensable unity of political and
military views in regard TO the conduct
Of the war"
