It was the grisliest sight we had seen during our adventures.
 Medill and Henry went to another lookout, leaving me with the Italian soldiers in the trench. Their luncheon came up fine rich soup, with bread cubes in it, some potatoes and vege- tables. It looked palatable and vas good. There was enough, but not plen- ty. As we sat in the trench waiting for Henry and Medill, one of the heroes beside me, after thinking it all out carefully. burst forth with this:
 Italian Americans
 'I livea in Pittsburg"
 It was plain to his comrades that he had put his meaning through to me They clearly were impressed by his prowess. This cheered him up. He went on to furthr linguistic feats.
 'Is, live-a there five year"
 That also got over and his comrades realized that he was a polyglot Then in a Joyous spirit of overconfidence, Ire waved the oriflamme of speech in oar faces.
 'ls. my papa he live-a in Brooklyn He keepa da butcha shop and is maka da roast bif. Is, my papa's brodder ne llvea in Brooklyn too. He keepa da saloon and is maka da jagi" Then we shook hands as fellow Americans. Mountain Headquarters In another hour we had wormed OUT way through the tunnels to the other side of the peak, and had scrambled down the mountainside to the general headquarters. Never since HannihaIs day were more interesting brigade headquarters established. They were niched into the mountain side about l. 900 feet above a gorge below. The | sleeping quarters and offices were l&lf | tunnelled into the hillside. The dining | room was mounted on a platform over | looking the gorge below Across the gorge quarter of a mile away an aer- ial tram ran. That morning two air planes-an Italian plane and an Aus | trian-met out by the tram wire in battle. It could be seen as easily from the diningroom platform as if it had been half down the block: yet the air men were 1000 feet in the air We had luncheon at the brigade headquarters and it was made a gala occasion. Some one had brought in an Austrian ccw which was brigade property and We had real cream. Otherwise it was a ear dinner. We had hors douvres-thin sliced dried ham, sausages, and sar- dines-a delectable paste with barnes ian cheese on it, roast beef and brown potato sal and broiled chicken. and then the chef d'ouvres, the cream upon a charlotte russo, After that came cheese and coffee. Chianti and a cider champagne were served. The mess WIS proud of itself, as it should have been. But it seems sad to think how soon that Austrian COW went home. For within three weeks from the time we sat there, the general had surrendered in the gulch below the air tram wire and the Germans had come with their big guns to fill the vacant emplace- ments!
