TITLES WILL REWARD
SOME ITALIAN HEROES
j UOMK. Sept i; - The Italian College
j ol Heraldry has decided that titles
j of nobility will be conferred by it In
| recognition of distinguished services
: rendered during the war.
These titles will be officially re og
j ni/.ed by the Italian government and.
i being hereditary, will contribute much
j to re-establishing the old Italian no
i bllity on something ot the basis ot
j prestige that it formerly enjoyed.
The conferring of titles of nobility, j
such as baron, count, and marquis in
recognition for services rendered to
Italy during the war is pointed out
by the College of Heraldry as merely
being a continuation of the custom
| according to which the great majority
j of titles of nobility were conferred i
in the past
While distribution of decoratii ns
not only in Italy but in all allied t
countries for distinguished war ser
vices Is largelv a personal, Individual
matter for the soldier or officer who
has won such a recognition, comer
ring of titles of nobility will have the j
distinctive characteristic of recognlz
ing families that have rendered ex
ceptional services to "La I’atria."
