Concentrating the first shot which
Italy fired in the present World War,
one of the few shots which have been
heard clear around the world, four
thousand Of the most enthusiastic
Italians on the face of the earth, cele-
brated the third anniversary Of that
event, in Kenosha, Friday afternoon.
The celebration was in connection
with the official raising of the flag of
Italy on the flagstaff of the post office
under the emblem Of the United States.
Postmaster James German, in com
mon with the custodians of every gov
eminent building in the United States,
had been instructed to display the
italian flag under the national colors
on Italian day, or May oath. The
Italians in Kenosha wished to make
the event notable one in the history
of Kenosha and that they did so was
evident to every one who had the
opportunity of witnessing the grand
display of patriotism which they made
on Friday afternoon.
1t was a most enthusiastic concourse
that moved down Market street from
Gentle Hall to the post Office where
part of the celebration took place.
IF the German kaiser or the Austrian
emperor could have witnessed the en-
tlusiasm that dubbed over in that
crowd he would have seen the futility
of trying to conquer such men. For
men so enthusiastic have never yet been
whipped during the world s history.
AS the body moved down Market
street it presented q most beautiful
spectacle. Every one of the marchers
carried two flags, the flag Of Italy and
the American flag.
The line formed on Market street in
front of GENTLE Hall. It was led by
a plotoon of police. This was followed
by the italian band; great body of
school children the children of italian
parents, all bearing flags of America
and italy; following this came men
bearing a beautiful w1eath Of roses and
lilies ;men bearing puge service flag
with 255 stars representing the Italian
bows who have enlisted in the war;
then several men carrying large
United States flag; following this came
the italian societies Of Kenosha, the
San Francisco Society, the Garibaldi
Society, the Roccabinaldi Society, and
the S. Michele Society. In addition to
these there were hundreds of persons
in automobiles and on foot who are
not connected with any of the Italian
societies in the city.
The marshals of the day were Joe
GENTLE and harry Capanni.
Promptly at two o'clock the line be-
gan to move out Market street and to
the strains of the italian and American
airs and other patriotic songs, marched
to Market Square where it formed a
semi circle in front of the post Office.
At exactly two-thirty, pretty, little
Bernadette Healey, niece of Postmas-
ter James German, pulled the string
which hoisted the italian flag on the
Flagstaff of the post Office amid the
widest scenes of patriotic enthusiasm
and cries of stviva L'Italia, y ''viva
America the waving of flags and
clapping of hands. The band then
played the Star Spangled Banner at
the close of which there was another
great burst of cheers.
When the cheers had subsidized Lewis
Gentle, who had a very important part
IN the program. presented Miss Ber,
