 While the West Point cadets are lodged and fed and paid modest stipend, the Italian youth have to pay for the privilege of serving their country. The first year they are charged $85 for board and lodg- ing, $42 for maintenance of equip ment and $63 for their first uni form outfit, total of $190. They may benefit by that same rate in their second year if they pass their annual examinations with honor Otherwise the global charge for second year men is $275.
 Youths whose fathers died in the late war are admitted free of all charges and in general are given the preference in appointments.

TURIN, Italy, July 27. = Italy's two West Points, the Royal Mili- tary Academy here and it's sister institution at Modena, are getting ready to break in the next crop of future marshals and generals. Aspirants for officers stars have until July 31 to send in their appli- cations, accompanied by their ere dentials. Soon after that they will be told whether they are deemed of the right timber for the Italian army. Then those. selected will set
 tie down to long, hot summer of "cramming" for the examinations to be held the first fortnight in September. %t-s-.i--ss.- %
 i Unlike their counterparts in the
 United States, the Italian youths avid for a martial career are not dependent upon their Senators, Congressmen or the Chief of the
 State for appointments to either Turin or Modena. Any youngster in the kingdom with a diploma from a classical or scientific high
 school or an industrial training
 school may apply direct to the academies. The stipulation as to age is that the candidates must on September 30 be between IT and P years old.
 The Italian aspirants have an ad-
 vantage over the "sub-,lebes" in | America, too, in that they may i choose the particular arm of the service for which they wish to be
 trained. At West Point the star scholars only have a choice, and that at the end of four years. The
 Italian courses are for two years
 only, and the object is to turn out specialists in each department.
 owing to the fact that the course ! is only half as long as that of the academy on the Hudson River
 there is little or no time to include
 any general culture. This may be explained by the fact that Italian
 lyceum high school diplomas are
 granted at the conclusion of a
 course, which corresponds to the first two years in an American col Ilege. A candidate accepted for the
 army training schools is supposed

"The Ridin' Rswdy" is what Buffalo Bill, jr., is called upon to be in the Pathe western feature of that title, which will be seen to- night at the Coliseum. And 1t IS said that everybody who has seen this stick-burr of the saddle stay on the hurricane deck of locoed cow pony will see him at his best in this new picture story by Walter J.lCoburn.
 Buffalo Bill, Jr., was born on a Wyoming ranch, fed on jerked beef and buffalo hump. Before he had lost his milk teeth young Bill was "wrangling" mustangs and break ing broncs. He was lured from the range by Otto Fleto, of the Sells-Floto circus, where he headed a Wild West show and excited spec tators with his amazing skill at roping and riding. But the color ful atmosphere and the cowboy style of riding most appealed to him, and, when wise motion pic ture producer, Lester F. Scott, of fered him opportunities, he accept ed.
 It was with. Bills capabilities in mind that @The Ridin' Rowdy'' was prepared and screened. The story has to do with the never-agins western theme-the fights between the cattle and the sheep men.
