Real Italians" His invariable theme
and the object Of all his evidence
was to prove that dictatorship must
always end in war for italy. A war
means disaster" Prophetic words!
When the war came he was in
France again. Eduard Herriot
warned him to leave. In turn he
warned Herriot not to expect italy
to remain neutral. Both men were
right.
Sforza's return to Italy was some
thing less than theatrical. His name
in the years that had passed had
become a byword with the Italians,
but his reception here gave no i'm
mediate indication Of it,"
He had been expected at Brindisi
but his plane landed after dark at
Bari, q little town further south
The place was blacked out and he
and his son Sforzino made their
way with hesitant steps through
the darkness to an inn. Nobody rec
ognized them. There were no bands,
no flags. no cheering crowds.
But the next morning the inn
keeper, apparently having seen the
name on the register, came up to
his room. He said nothing, but he
took Sforza,s hand and shook it.

looking into Mussolinis eyes he said

Shortly after that speech Sforza

his home but the loss OF his fortune

He said. ITALY has become a

He went back to China.

later incorporated them into book,

tions Of Italians were swarming
into the inn to see Sforza.
Sforza Immediately made his posi-
ton clear on the question Of the
continuance Of the monarchy In
Italy.
When tho Kings emissaries told
him the sovereign wished to see him
he took the almost unprecedented
action Of refusing. He let 1t be
known that he would neither form
q government with the King as q
constitutional monarch nor would
he serve In one Of that character.

His position was that King Victor
Emmanuel had failed In his duties
toward the nation by having permit
ted the rise Of Fascism. He had
taken the same uncompromising at
titude toward the King as he once
took towards the Fascjsts. Aside
from this moral phase of the ques-
ton, he believes the Italian people
would refuse to rally behind a King 5
government.
At 10, Sforza is tall, erect, full of
energy. He worked himself into q
hospital during the first few weeks
after his return. He still rides,
swims and claims to consistently
hit 80 on the golf course. He is a
good chess player. He likes detec-

dictates exactly what he wants to

His position among the political
parties is very strong, but the peo-
pie are pressing for an immediate

Count Sforza Ahains
Dream by Becoming
Symbol Of Liberty
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NAPLES, Nov. 22.-Benito Musso-
lini in his balcony days used to an
swer the accusation that he was
driving freedom from Italy by argu-
ing, "but Sforza Is still here-and
he is still alive"
The man to whom he referred,
Count Carlo Sforza, left italy not
long after the remark reached his
ears.
In letter to his friends he wrote
II hope to be the symbol of liberty,
not be prescribed for it,
Sforza returned last month, bare
ly step behind the arrival of the
Allied armies. His voluntary exile
had lasted more than IS years.
During that time his hopes have
been realized. He has become a
symbol in Italy just as Gen. Charles
De Gaulle has become a symbol in
France. His strength, like De
Gaulle's, is mainly derived from the
fact that he never stopped fighting
for what looked like a lost cause.
He was the inexorable enemy of
Fascism from its first moment until

After moment of tense silence, two
guards emerged from behind the group
and shamefacedly picked up Beppo.

his fellow prisoners, Il know you have
understood me- Our world rises anew,
while Vecchioni's has already crumbled.
What he wants is to drag US down with
him! | do not know whether or not a
cruiser from Spezia is coming But if it
does, we will have to bear it a little

Commandante Vecchioni. who had
been watching motionless, suddenly
rushed into the house. Dusk had fallen.
and around the desolate rock light
mist was rising. A sharp form, grayer
and denser than the mist. seemed to
materialize out on the leaden sea, to the
right of the Commentaries house.
Now Barletto noticed it, and with
him the others. The cruiser from Spe-
zia," he said tonelessly. For once. he
did not lie And as his friends pressed
closer to him: 1--WE must be strong!'
A flash from the ship blinded them.
The dull boom was followed by whis-
ting over their heads. On the other side
of the island there was splash. AS they
stood aghast, sheaf of brilliant light,

doned machine guns and the barbed

the house, where only moment ago
the Fascist flag with ak and faggots
had been, the light was caught in a
billowing white sheet.
The sound of motorboat approached
the shore. As the great searchlights were
lowered, following the course of the
boat, Barletto and his friends. who had
not waited and believed in vain. saw
fluttering in the breeze of the night the

pointing with slight move of his head
at the uncovered machine guns at the
corner of the Communicates house,
the only one on the island built of stone.
Commandante Vecchioni stepped for
ward to the balustrade. His uniform
was beautifully cut, and he wore his
tasseled cap at exactly the right angle.
But his strutting pose did not go well
with the small chin of his cruel. ferret
like face. He seemed excited.
PRISONERS! | know there have been
rumors among you that the Chief OF
Government, the leader of Fascism, the
Savior of the country, His Excellency
Benito Mussolini. has resigned. This
would have meant good news for you,
and you have probably been gloating
already. But | tell you: Those are
sinking lies, spread by the cunning
enemy to undermine the morale Of our
valiant people,!
Barletto glanced over the furrowed
faces of his fellow prisoners. Under their
cool, disdainful expression he sensed the
tension, an alertness which made them
a part again of the living world. So it
was true; at last he had fallen!
But like shadow the thought passed
over them: Why, then, are toe still here?
The Communicates voice came as
an echo: ut is true that the enemy has
temporarily succeeded in wrestling Sic
lily from us. But what good has it done
you? Have the 'Democracles' you al
ways believed in rushed to save you?
No! Why should they? What have you
ever been to them but means of propa
ganda against the Duce!'
He leaned over the balustrade. well,

Dental smile. they have forgotten you.

do not forget the enemies of Fascism!
We are not going to let you get away
and live happily ever after. Pack your
bundles" he shouted; "a cruiser from
Spezia will be here any moment to take
you North | am tired of your COM
plants about the heat now we shall
see how you like the cold.'
Barletto was stunned like the others;
this possibility had never entered their
minds. That they would ever leave this
island other than dead or free had been
unthinkable.
A murmur rose behind him and
formed into sentences. But contrary to
discipline it was not suppressed by
Vecchioni Nor did he give orders to
take them to the barracks. He still held
his balcony pose, his arms crossed; and
while the discussion of the prisoners
became more heated, Barletto noticed
sly, lurking expression on his ferret face.
Suddenly Beppo. shaking off Bar
letto's restraining hand, sprang for
ward Comrades" he called hoarsely.

NEW ENGLAND AREA AWARDED CITATION
District Credited Third Honor in Victory Loan
 Campaign

New England finished third In the Victory Loan campaign in DeceM' Der, q compilation just issued ny the U. 8. Treasury reveals. Thu Federal Reserve District was sur passed only by New York and Chi. cago in the first major financing operation of the war which brought a total of approximately 4lS.000 ,0OO,- 900 into the U. s. Treasury.
 This district actually led the en- tire country In the anti-inflatiot1 policy of the drive. From tho start of the campaign emphasis was put on obtaining as much money a' possible from non-banking sources In this respect 7T per cent of New England's total sales went to non banking sources which was the highest percentage of any district in the nation.
 New England finished second. The sales of Victory 21S per cent bondS here were $S28, ,602,600, an amount exceeded only by the New York OASvAACbs AAAAo W&o tAAG eSSAS AAA eAAe December offering which had the most popular appeal and was de- signed primarily for individual and institutional buyers. The Victory 2is's do not mature until 1868 and are callehle in 1863. These bonds were available in denominations as low as $500.
 These bonds were not available for purchase by commercial banks, one of the most emphatic anti-in- flation steps taken by the treas- ury.
 The New England showing is at- tributed by John O. Stubbs, eXecu- tive manager of the Victory Fund Committee here, to the day and night work of the 40O0 volunteers from the banking and investment banking fields who combed every section of New England for buy CTS. Throughout the campaign the volunteers were asked to concern trate much as possible on the sale of the Victory 2ss's and the results of the plan in this district show a highly commendable result.
