ITALY HAS BEEN IN
WAR TWO YEARS

More than two years ago Italy
sounded the trumpet call for duty
to her sons. who had gone forth from
her to all the far-fiung corners of
the world.
To the glory of American-born
Italians that call was answered with
promptitude that left no question
of the hold the homeland had on their
hearts, even though to many 1t was
legendary country.
The famous war correspondent, Il.
Alexander Powell, and VIII Irwin,
both had many amusing experiences
in meeting pictuesquely uniformed
Alpini. who to their establishment
used nothing but the very choicest
slang as II Is spoken in our large
cities, and whose first inquiries usual
ly were in regard to the standing OF
the big leagues.
A number of these boys were per-
mitted to form companies of their
own and have been the subject OF
special praise in official communiques
on several occasions.
Their work in the Alps. where the
fighting is done from peaks eternallS
snow covered and under conditions
almost beyond human endurance. has
been honored by inclusion in The
Italian Battlefront" the official wal
pictures of our Italian allies. which
are now being shown at the Isis
| theater with the sanction and under
the auspices OF the royal Italian gov
/ eminent.
