ITALIAN SOLDIERS
LOSE RIGHTS TO
RETURN TO U. s.
Transportation Is Not Fur
nished When Discharged
in Italy

Rome. June 25. - Discharged
members of the American EXpedi-
tionary Force of Italian extraction
have been besieging Consul Francis
Keene's office here recently request
ing passage back to the United
States on the grounds of being United
States citizens and of having served
in the United States Army. EN-
ployes of the office attending to the
lot of these discharged soldiers inn
mediately demand to see their dis
charge papers. After examining 1t
they indicate to the men that they
have waived the responsibility of the
government in providing transporta-
ton when they received their dis
charges, for there is one clause on
the back of the paper which clearly
explains that procedure.
"Oh," reply the men, but my
commanding officer did not explain
that to me when l asked for dis
charge"
THAT will do old-timer," retort
the consul generals assistants. Your
commanding officer certainly told
you that and now we can do nothing
about it,"
The men in every case secured
their discharge to visit their parents
or other relatives here for an in
definite period and thereby waive
right to return transportation.
