ITALIAN BOY SOLDIER
MAKES ENVIABLE RECORD
AS GRENADE FIGHTER

Washington, April ll.-During a
recent review Of shock troops on the
Italian front, official dispatches re-
ceiycd here say, Premier Orlando
was attracted TO l5-year old sol
der. An inquiry disclosed that the
boy, David Marcello, had followed
the Italians across the Piave during
the invasion and insisted that he be
allowed to remain with the troops.
The boy since had acquired an ex-
traordinary ability in throwing hand
grenades.
Young Marccllo, fearing he might
be obliged to abandon his post on
account of his age implored Pre-
mier Orlando to allow him to re-
main, which the premier did, in
structing the general in command to
that effect. Then the premier an
nounced his decision TO adopt the
boy soldier As his own son.

signalled their batteries for a bar
rage and started for the American
front line. The American gunners
laid counter barrage almost I'M
mediately.
The attackers, who were especial
ly trained Tor this operation, were
selected from among the best men
in three regiments. They were pre-
ceded by shock platoons, but the
American barrage caught them be-
lore they were able to reach our
wire entanglements.
A terrific fire against the adyanc-
ing enemy was kept up by the
American batteries. Bodies were
seen hanging across the barbed wire
after the enemy retired. The at
tack was made in a heavy morning
mist, but the American gunners did
wonderful work considering the
poor visibility.
As soon as the American barragt
lifted American infantrymen climb.

the enemy with heavy machine gur
and rifle fire, driving back those
who had not been dispersed by th'
artillery fire. The attack was fol

All Tax Payers Qualified
To Vote at Bond Election

. 1t was stated this morning by
Mayor w. X. Roberts that there is
an impression among some people
that they can not vote at the COM
ing bond election unless they are
paving taxes on real estate. This is
an error. The law provides that all
property paying taxpayers, who are
otherwise qualified electors, shall
have the right to vote on PROPOSE
tions to issue the bonds. This
means that a voter, although owning
no real estate in the city, ii he pays
taxes on any personal property be
it merchandise, stock, an automo-
bile, a watch, anything that is prop
erty subject to taxation, will qualify
him as a voter at the coming cleo
ton, April q.
