Italian Army. He did not get far.
Regiments and units of this COL
umn are still being checked up, but
1t is . mixture Of Bersaglieri, Alpini
and Fascist troops. There are few
Albanians. This makes it a real
victory for the Greeks, because these
men were professional soldiers.
AS far as can see at present, the
47th Centauro Artillery was here.
They left possibly 20 mixed caliber
guns behind. There was one regi-
ment of Bersaglieri and motorized
unit, one battalion of Alpini, armed
with light and heavy machine guns,
and few small mountain pieces.
Finally, there were crack Fascists,
soldiers of death" There was one
or possibly two, battalions of these
troops.
They left behind more than 100
machine guns, thousands of rifles
and more than Is cars and tanks
and II mountain tractors, bridge
building unit, 3 Breda quick firing
anti-aircraft 2-pounders and stocks
of ammunition for all these guns.
What the Italians did not leave
behind were food supplies. There
was practically none in the entire
column. But there were a dozen
slaughtered sheep, stolen from peas
ants, in one truck. and cans of bully
beef and hard biscuits, but little
bread and other food. There were
empty Chianti bottles strewn around
the roadside, but I drank about the
last full one left. OF course, others
had been there before me.
I could not get along the length
of the entire column because it was
too dark, and this is no place to be
in the dark. could hear the Greeks
singing as left the column to enter

longer have Italian signs. The
people have evacuated to the hills,
but they are starting to come back.

Civil War Bequest
Benefits Aged

A dozen needy seamstresses benefit
each year to the extent of about S.
worth of fuel each, all because of a
trust fund set up in Findlay dur
ing the Civil War.
Hiram and Hanna Smith donated
$1,000 to the village of Findlay in
1868, the interest to be used for the
purchase of fuel for families whose
husbands and sons were engaged in
the Civil War.
After 10 years, the money was to
be invested with one-third of the in
terested credited to the principal for
a period of 80 years, after which the
interest was to be distributed an
nually among the widows and sewing
women.
The principal, now $1,000, is in
vested in government securities
which are kept by the city service
safety director.

Morris is a Republican, and his ap-
pointment gave Republicans a ma
jority on the board for the first
