SETS WALKING RECORD
FOR ONE-LEGGED MEN
Private: Stanley Ascends Monu-
(. ment, According to the
Come Back.

The walking record for one-1egged
men is being claimed by Private Dean
Stanley, ward 65, Walter Reed Hos
pital. According to the latest issue
of the Come Back, the regular news
paper published by and for the many
patients at this big Army hospital,
Private Stanley, a husky lad from
West Virginia, walked, with the aid
OF crutches. to the top of the Wash
ington Monument the other day. Stan
ley engaged the policeman on duty
there as his chief witness. Several
civilian visitors also viewed the feat.
Stanley had to ascend s00-odd steps
in his climb of 500 feet.
The Come Back is full of similar
interesting personal and organiza-
ton items. In reference to the fight
ing" done by the Army medical de-
partment, it proudly points to the
fact that 3S2 of personnel of that
corps were cited, 3e2 Of them being
priyates.
Wounded men are themselves teach
ers along reconstruction lines for
their-,fellow' wounded, according to
another story.
Private Managers, for instance. him
self injured, has class OF twenty
eight men in acetylene welding.

academic department. with both
hands practically useless, has no
fewer than a dozen instructors and
$50 scholars under him. Private Keep
ers, lacking a left arm. is becoming

reunion of two brothers out at the

torn by a hand grenade, found his
brother, Private Louis Roberts. in a

Special Correspondent OF The Evening
Star and the Chicago Daily News.


Stnr and the Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, France, December 15.-Ru-
dolph Foa, the Italian journalist. has
given me statement concerning
Italy and the Jugo-Slavs which be-
lieve represents the saner Italian
view on this subject
"A few Italians, even before the
war says the statement, worked for
closer Affiliations between the Jugo-
SIavs and Italy. Their investigations
in central Europe and in the Levant
convinced them that pan-Germanism
was a common danger for Italy and
for the Slavic peoples subject to Aus
tria Hungary, and that the triumph
of the German policy of expansion
could have Germanized finally Trieste,
the Adriatic and the Trentino.
For this reason Italy ought to
eign policy. 1t ought to consider the
Slavs on the other side of the Adri-
attic as allies against the danger OF
an -Germanism.
Did Not Fear Pan-Germauism.
Unfortunately. the Italian official
view. which looked upon the triple
alliance as eternal, believed rather
in the S1ay danger than in that Of
pan-Germanism. This official view
considered the Jugo-Slavs as confed>
estates of Great Russia and believed
that the alliance with Germany guar
unteed Italy against the pan-Slavic
danger
This conception has not been COM
pletely destroyed by the war. Only
late in the war the government was
pushed by an exigeney of the war to
adopt a more favorable attitude to-
ward the different nationalities of
Austria. This new friendly attitude
toward the Slavs of Austria-Hungary
played an important part in the dis
solution of Austria.
''Unhappily, after the common VIC
tory, regrettable incidents began an
era of bad relationship between Italy
and the Slavs of the south. 1 refer to
the disorders of Fiume and the re-
sultirg press campaign on both sides.
Exterior Influences Factor.
Exterior influences continue. to play
part in the relations between Italy
and the southern Slavs. Unhappily the
Croats and the Slovenes are not yet
sufficiently removed from the old Aus
trian relations to escape their subtle
influence. What remains of old Aus
tria, with its incorrigibIe intrigues
even in it's death agonies, has had a
moment of success in its traditional

BLAMES ITALY'S FOREIGN POLICY
FOR TROUBLE WITH THE SLAVS
Rudolph Foa, Italian Journalist, Say.
Latter Should Have Been Considered
Allies Against Pan-Germanism.

policy Of spreading dissension between
Italians and Jugo-Slavs.
"The delivery by the Austrian au-
thorities Of their fleet to the Jugo-
Slavs was intended to bring ABOUT
the troubles between the Italians ana
the Jugo-Slavs, which actually result
ed. What made this Austrian intrigue
easier of accomplishment was the ira
ditional hatred of the Croatlans
against Italians.
Italo-Serb Relations Cordial.
"On the other hand. the relations be.
tween the Italians and Serbs are most
cordial. Austria followed the policy
of pushing Slav expansion and emf
grafton into those territories where
Italians were in the majority. as at
Trieste. This policy had its intended
tense between Italians and Croats.
FINALLY one of the elements which
play in important part in the minds OF
many Italians is the fact that the ltailan
civilization and culture. which exist on
the east of the Adriatic in such towns as
lara, Sebinico, Ragusa, so full of the
best in Italian art, will disappear under
the lack Of understanding and the disor-
ders of these Slavs of Balkan origin and
tendencies The situation is very diff
cult, owing to the intensity of passions of
nationalism increased by the war.
Danger MOI heal1ZeQ.
Unfortunately the governments of
Europe, still under the old. system of in
dividual national egotism, show an in
clination to make use of and stimulate
these passions without any realization of
the danger which such policy involves
This situation should not be allowed
to destroy the development of a mag
nificent program Of a friendship and
collaboration between Italy and the
Jugo-Slavs. The allies, and especially
America, should intervene to smooth out
disagreements and decide them with
spirit of justice and impartiality. Italy
must adopt a policy of broad modera-
ton and wisdom. Her economic future
and her mission of civilization are in
volved in the new political situation
which will develop in central and south
western Europe.
Italy's Fears Misplaced.
Italy wrongly feared the danger of
Russian n-Slavism. She must now re-
alize that the solidarity which exists
among the Slays of Austria-Hungary
will create new form of pan-Slavisln
real and much more dangerous If it is
hostile to Italy. The question even
plays an important part in the relations
between France and Italy, which might
be disturbed by an anti-Slav policy on
1taly's part.
'"The state of mind of the most fanat-
ical Italians on, this subject is most
regrettable symptom
