Under False Name Cousin of
King of Italy Serves as
Corporal.
DEEDS AMAZE HIS COMRADES
Not Even the Officers Knew at First
That Youngster Who Showed Such
Reckless Courage Was of
Royal Blood.

ROme.-The GaZZatta di TOrlno, tell
ing about the count of Salient, cousin
of the king of Italy, recalls how he
fought in the beginning of the war in
Val d'Assa under the false name Of
Macmillan Mombello. Nobody, not
even the officers, knew at first that the
vigorous yOungster, so good and mild
Of temperament, so magnificent in his
reckless courage, was Prince Umberto,
count of Salient.
The hour of danger found him calm,
serene, sure of himself, like veteran
Alpine. His own comrades, always
tried in the most daring feats, were
amazed at his deeds of valor. When
they praised him Corporal Macmillan
MOmbello would answer with proud
smile: ''I-but l am special cOrpO-
raj" His manner quickly won him the
friendship and favor of all, from the
soldiers to the officers.
Count Starts School.
The count of Salient found q way,
even under fire, to start a school for
the illiterate. The pupils attended will
ingly, for the instructor, Corporal
Macmillan Mombello, was in truth
genial-patient to fault, happy,
learned and, above all, generous in re-
warding the studiOus at the close of
the lessons. A draught &C wine, a por-
ton of bread were ready for all in his
trench ration. His greatest joy was
on the arrival of the mail in the eve
ming. If the enemy permitted, he de-
voted himself to reading and writing
letters. He was often surprised, moved
or disturbed by the letter he received
or sent-a letter from his mother or to
his mother.
One day, however, it leaked out
among the officers that Mombello was
the Prince Salient Of royal blood. 1t
was passed along to the stupefied SOL

diers. "What?" they asked him. Are
you a royal highness?' "Yes," the
count answered. What of it?' The
answer treasured the soldiers.
Promoted to Captaincy.
Although Macmillan Mombello came
to be known again as the count of
Salemi, prince of the royal house of
Savoy, he remained their corporal and
he continued to be till the day when
he was promoted, to become later a
lieutenant and captain of bombar-
diers.
lie died from pneumonia at the front
among his devoted soldiers just be-
fore the end of hoStilities. He had
just been promoted and commanded
bombarding battery of the army of
the Grappa.
Although a son of Prince Amadeo
and the Princess Letitia of SavOy-Bo-
naparte, the young count. who was
twenty-seven, enlisted at the outbreak
of the war as a simple soldier in the
Catania light cavalry. He was in the
WIZ zone for three years, took part in
several important actions and won a
silver medal of valor by heroic con
duct.

purchase of the palace was put up
by the leading banking institutions Of
Italy.
The Salviati palace, which IS near
the entrance of the Corso UmbertO
into Piazza Venezia, or where the
Flaminian way formerly led up to the
Capitoline hill, is surrounded by the
other equally historic palaces of the
Odescalchi and Dorvia families. It's
interior furnishings and decorations
will be kept intact as far as possible.
A Permanent Headquarters.
The first floor of the palace will be
occupied by the central headquarters
of the Italian-American league. Of
which Senator Ruftini Is president and
which has for its object promoting
every possible relation between the
American and Italian peoples.
The second floor will be given over
to the offices Of financial organiza-
lions that are especially interested In
Italian and American stocks and
bonds.
Still other portions of the palace will
be given over to the societies and Or
CARNATIONS promoting interests along
special lines between the United States
and Italy.
In the future American manufac-
turing, business and financial institu-
lions sending representatives to Italy
to establish relations will find perma-
nent headquarters at the American
house and every facility necessary to
enable them to attain their ends.
