Rome, has just been granted the su-
preme distinction of the Italian gem
eral staff-namely a leave of absence
to visit his family in recognition of
military brsvery-for having captured
an Austrian general
That too much discredit should not
be attached TO the Austrian general
for having surrendered without at
least retaining his sword. it must be
explained that the general surrender

bstterins ram, plunged his head
with terrific force into the solar plex-
US OF the general. This left the latter
without sufficient breath TO open ne
sotiations.
Bevi's deed was cited at the time in
the Italian official communique He
was one OF a patrol of 5 'arditi"
(yolunteer soldiers who insist on push
ing constantly into battle) who during
the Austrian offensive OF June found
themselves suddenly in open battle
with 90 Austrians. Four of the =
'arditi'' were killed. and there seemed
little chance for the remaining when
one of them. young man from Pado-
va. suddenly shouted:
-Assaulting column, forward De
pioy and attack"
The ruse was effective and the 90
Austrians began a hasty retreat. a
somewhat aged officer with group of
defenders remaining behind to cover
the rear. At once the remaining
"arditi'. attacked this rear guard. Revi

of numbers when another group of

the meantime the young soldier from

Austrian retreat was killed.
Only when victory was completely
