italians Believe What Wilson Says Writes Boy Italian

Basil Walters, former Palladium re-
porter. member of an American hos
pital unit, was with the first American
troops to land on Italian soil In a
letter to a member of the Palla dium
staff, he gives an entirely new insight
into conditions in Italy since the ar
rival of American troops. He tells Of
confidence of the Italians in President
Wilson and the American people. The
letter follows:
With the Colors, July 4. 1918.
Dear Friend:
Two years ago today when | was
picnicking near Centerville, after hav-
ing helped get out special Dublin
edition OF the Palladium, little did
think that two years would find me in
famous old Genoa, Italy. But here
am and the surprising feature Of the
whole thing is that l am getting paid
for It, I'm almost afraid that | will
wake up some fine morning and find
that II is all dream.
This morning. the American troops
took part in q great celebration held
in this city in commemoration of our
Declaration of Independence. II the
famous parade in Paris year ago had

GERMANS ACTIVE
ON mex BORDER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Activities
of Germans or German Americans
from the United States across the
Mexican lower California border,
where a wireless plant is located, are
under investigation by government
agents.
Reports reaching here indicate that
for months groups of about a half
hundred Germans changing every
week or ten days. have been found IN
Mexicalia, a torrid little collection Of
baked shacks, just across the border
from Calexico, Cal, and about 500
miles from Yuma, Arizona. on a spur
Of the southern Pacific. The town is
inhabited by shifting population Of
Mexicans. Indians, Japanese, Chinese
and women with with few apparent
means of making a living.
The Germans, who were never
known to visit this town before the
war, now congregate at store start.
ed recently by German known to
have been active in propaganda work
in the United States before the war,
and has used the wireless station,
which is capable of communicating
with Mexico City.

alize The British soldiers say that
at the beginning of the war Germany
without doubt had the best disciplined
army in the world They say that it
took Britain and France three years to
get as good discipline because they
were peace loving nations but now
these two great nations have armies
disciplined equally as well or better
than those of Germany and the Brit
ishers say that the American force in
France has attained discipline equal
ly as good. Good bye, Germany!
Make Good Soldiers.
l am afraid that the press hasn't
done Italy justice. You'll have to take
my word for it that the samples Of
Italian soldiers that we have seen sure
look good Their drills roll off with
the precision of Swedish gymnasts.
The soldiers say that the army has
been completely reorganized since last
year and that discipline and morale is
the best now. Results along the Piave
show this and there is more to come.
Italian stock in my estimation has In
creased about 5000 per cent. since l
have seen little of Italy. They are
a wonderful people and above all else
they are sure loyal and great friends
