RED CROSS MARTYR

The. grave Of Lieut. Edward NJ. Nc
Key, who was killed last June while on
duty on the Italian front, where he had
charge of an American Red Cross roll
Ing canteen, lies about a mile and 4
half behind the battle line on the lower
Piave. 1t Is simple soldiers grave,
and only the American flag with which
1t Is decorated distinguishes II from
those Of his Italian comrades In arms.
The fine qualities displayed by the
Italian soldiers so aroused Lieutenant
McKey's admiration that he gave free
vent to his enthusiasm. How spien.
didly the Italians are fghting!" were
the last words he uttered. for just then
an Austrian shell, exploding at their
side, ended his life, at the same time
seriously wounding Captain Colaba tits
tt. The latter. who has since received
. decoration for valor. paid the highest
tribute to the devotion OF Lieutenant
Mickey, his enthusiasm and the tactful
manner In which he performed his
charitable mission among the soldiers.
To quote his own words: "Let us rem
der homage to the memory Of this
valiant American Red Cross offlcer,
who died with words Of enthusiasm for
our soldiers on his lips. The Austrian
shell which cut short his career has
not silenced his voice. On the contra
~. the sacrifice Of his life has immor.
talized his words Of praise for Italy's
fighting men. It has also forged fone
more link between ouf country and his
