.SP ARES LIVES
OF ITALIANS
Austrian Keeps Rifle Co.
ing But Misses Ital-
ians At Pass

Headquarters Italian Army-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press.)
There is a narrow pass on the
mountain front Of the Craps which
has given the Italians lot Of trouble
up to g. short time ago. 1t is a
rocky defile with cliffs rising sheer
| a thousand feet on either side.
Through this narrow passage it was
necessary for the men to go every
day in handling supplies. But as
| they passed they were picked off
one by one by an Austrian sharp
shooter in cavern near the top Of
the cliffs. Here he had been low
cred from the enemy lines along-one
side Of the cliff, and here food was
lowered and the deadly fusilade kept
UP day after day.
It was recently observed, however,
that q strange change came over the
operations from the clio. The shots
rang out as usual whenever an TIA
Ian soldier went through the pass.
But, 'singularly, no man ever fell;
the shots always went wide of the
marks; the cunning Of the sharp
shooter appeared to be at an end.
This continued for days, with the
Italians going back and forth safely,
and the aimless and idle shots ring
ing out from the enemy post in the
cliff.
The italians finally made a dash to
clear out the place, their batteries
pouring shots into the cavern while
scaling party entered 1t from one
side. In the lead Of the climbing
party was Lieut.. GugleilminetI, and
as he rushed into the cave a singu-
lar sight was before him. Stretched
on the ground was an Austrian
soldier dying from an Italian bullet
wound. But though an Austrian
soldier in the gray green uniform Of
Austria, the wounded man raised
himself on his elbow, drew tiny
Italian flag from under his coat, and
in faint voice exclaimed: "ViVe /
Italia"
The dying man had only time to
whisper his story. He was Giorgio
Avanzini, nephew Of the socialist
deputy Avanzini representing the
city of Trent in the Austrian parlia-
ment. Like all the people of Trent
and the Trentino, he was an Italian
by instinct though forced by the pe-
liticaI situation of Trent under Aus
tria to enter the Austrian army. AS
such he found himself in the Aus
trian lines at the top OF the cllff,
and he had been detailed for the
dangerous task Of being lowered to
the cavern to pick off italian soldiers
as thew passed. Being under obser-
walton he kept his rifle going, the
shots rang out regularly, but AVIAN
zini took good care that no
shot found its mark in an italian
soldier. .u . ..
Avanzini's body was lowered to
the italian lines, and the soldiers

not g. question of doubling the 10y

we don't understand that we do not

AT THE EAGLE

One of the most interesting and uni que characterizations which J. War ren Kerrigan, the Paralta star, has ever portrayed is the part in The Turn of a Card" his second Paralta release, which will play at the Eagle theater last time today. MT. Ker- rigan, a westerner, has just come east after having accumulated a fortune from his oil holdings The daughter of the former owner of his shack, a magnificent Long Island mansion, re- turns from the war zone, and, rather than tell her that her father is penni- less and that the beautiful home is no longer hers, he dons the chauffeur's livery and drives his own ear as a servant.
 The dual personality is continued and Mir Kerrigan plays chauffeur to himself until he and the girl meet on an equal social basis. She is as- tounded-but glad. The reason why, and the results of her happiness form an interesting part in the plot of 'The Turn of a Card"
