The Theatre Assembly got together

s,arted riot by introducing Joseph
Isrtora, who stood up and sang two
,-ood songs that stirred the emotions
of the audience.
And finally. the assembly intro
duced Miss Elisabeth Marburv, who
said she was there to advocate keep

Remember. she warned. chat the
paciists, like the poor, are always with
Us.
The Scdtious Press
And don't forget the seditious press,
nor the German Sympathizers. who got
husy the day the armistice was signed,
and got off lot Of bunk about food
for Germany. which they thought
would pull the wool over our eyes and
make us forget all about the tons of
food they sank in order that the
women and children of France and
Belgium might starve.
Somebody asked me the other day
if the President hadn't said something
about an economic boycott. Seems to
ne he did; but | can't argue that out
with him, since our President isn't
with US. But | have it in for the chap
who wilfully misinterprets that state
ment and uses the President to cover
up his own yellow streak. It's mighty
poor welcome for our boys if we are
going to greet them with the fact that
Germany has made any kind of a
stronghold in this country-through
trade or otherwise.
Just Like the Hohenzollerns
we hear lot of rot about dis

and the German people Well, I've

saw little girls horribly unnerved by
Germans-not the HohenZollerns, but
German people. I've seen all the rest

manned and lands devastated. And it
vas done by the German people. Be
lieve me, there no distinction.
"The people Of this country have to
get down to brass tacks and realize
that there is no middle course. You've
got to be either American and
anti-German. or German"
Miss Marbury closed by telling the
Allied men in the audience how glad
she was to see them. She told our
own boys the same thing, and she had
word for the girls as we'll
Somebody told me some of the boys

what TO do to get them back. That's
easy. Marry 'em, boys; marry 'em."

twenty-four hours before he collapsed
This marvel of the Trentino was as
alert as a kitten and as rational and
considerate as a Judge with good diges-
tion when he landed yesterday.
"His physical endurance and the
ability of his brain to withstand bull
let shock and to retain its functions
have amozed our medical staff and the
brain specialists of London,'' said Lieu
tenant Angelo Fanelli, his secretary.
"ln the battle Of Ortigara, in the Tren-
tino. on June 10, 1916, the colonel was
leading his regiment at an altitude of
1000 feet. lie never screened himself,
and was picked out by an Austrian
sniper, who shot him in the left temple.
The shot was made from great dis
tance and the bullet had about spent
its force, but it lodged in the brain of
Colonel Pizzarello about an inch back
of the right eye. He was bowled over
by the bullet, but never lost conscious
ness. Brain tissue and blood flowed
from the wound but the colonel de-
clined to leave his regiment. He led
his men for twenty-four hours, and
finally sank into state of coma and
was sent to the rear. Before he fell
he told his aid that he would keep on
going until the killed the sniper who
shot him. and he believes he got his
man. Although wounded in the brain,
he marked the place where he believed
the sniper fred upon him, and after the
battle he sought the spot where he had
been picked off. AS he approached, the
picket ran from behind rock and the
colonel dropped him with his pistol"
Wears Many Medals
Colonel Pizzarello wore long coat
of dark blue. As he opened it to un-
lock his baggage there showed upon
his left breast a square foot of decora-
tions.
"Ah, it does not matter these deco
rations," he said.
Lieutenant Fanclli explained what
The decorations represented.
"Ihe Gold Medal for Valor,' he said,
''the colonel got it for leading his
troops for twcnty-four hours in battle
fighting for six hours with thirteen
pieces Of shrapnel in his head. Next
comes the two silver medals for valor.
Now follows the medal of the Order
of Savoia. and there is the English Vic
toria Cross.
"But that medal is gone"
1t was given when the colonel with
fifty Italians surprised 1000 Hunga-
rians and took them prisoner. A
captain with him in that attack, fell
at his side in battle two months later
and the colonel pinned upon him the
ribbon of his Victoria Cross.
The other decorations are: Order of
the Crown Of Italy, CroiX de Guerrc
Distinguished Service Medal of Ita y
Military Service Medal for twenty-five
years service, and Fro rch, Belgian anc
Russian decorations.
Two months ago the colonel married
a young Italian woman whom he met
