SIGNORCARUSO
IS PEEVED AT
FLORENCE, Italy, July 15 (Cor
respondence of Associated Press).—
Food is now being allotted to Enrico
Caruso, opera singer of the Metropol
itan Opera Company of New York,
whose picturesque Italian villa is sit
uated on the heights of Signa-Lastra,
nine miles from here, on the same
ratio as to the peasants in this sec
tion.
The new de luxe American lim
ousine he imported was comman
deered .by the military authorities,
while the Italian motor car he owned
was requisitioned by the prefect of
the commune of Signa-Lastra. The
work committee of the district had
had their eyes upon his villa for many
days, and, when the outbreak against
the high cost of living occurred here
a few weeks ago, made an inventory
of his cellar and pantry, told him he
had far too much for one man and
a small family to live upon, and
seized some of the wine in his cellar.
Describing the affair, Signor Caruso
said to the Associated Press corres
pondent:
“I was visited by a distinguished
commission of men and women, con
veyed up these hills in two luxurious
automobiles decorated in red stream
ers. These read to me my mode of
life in Italy, and I have since been
forced to live under their mandates.
“You know we have not starved
here, though. We have had enough
to eat. We have divided our supplies
with the people in the red automo
biles and have managed to get along.
I do not know just what I will do in
the future. I pay the Italian govern
ment more than a million lire taxes
a year, but I can ask for little pro
tection for my property. I have given
two year's work during the war to
the cause of the allies, and, therefore,
to the cause of Italy.”
FORMER CORDOVA BOY
DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF
IN SUBCHASER SERVICE
Bobbie Boryer, son of Robert J.
Boryer, former attorney for the Cop
per River & Northwestern railway at
Cordova, distinguished himself dur
ing the recent war, for which he has
been given credit by the government.
He detected the nearness of the Ger
man submarine U-71through a micro
phone, and after calmly reporting its
appearance, the ship’s crew dropped
depth bombs and sank it. The Seat
tle Post-Intelligencer recently pub
lished the following account of the
incident, together with a picture of
the young hero:
A 15-year-old Seattle school boy,
who while a member of the crew of
an American sub-chaser, participated
in the destruction of a German sub
marine, was discharged from the navy
at Bremerton Saturday, and now
plans to return to the Franklin high
school to resume his studies inter
rupted by the war. The lad is Robert
J. Boryer, jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. R.
J. Boryer, 157 Twenty-sixth avenue.
It was young Boryer, his ear glued
to the microphone, who first detected
the nearness of the German U-71 off
Lizard point, England, and gave the
warning to the crew of the S. C. 84.
It was in July, 1918, that the youth
I
who went to war to help exterminate
the Teuton sea ports, got his first
taste of the thrill of battle. When
the microphone revealed the presence
of a submarine to the starboard,
the young sailor calmly announced his
find, and the chaser speeded towards
the undersea pirate, bombarding it
with depth charges. Eight of these
“eggs,” as the crew called them, were
dropped, with the result that the of
ficial records give them the credit of
destroying the German U-71.
Young Boryer enlisted in the navy,
in February, 1918, while he was a
junior at the Franklin high school.
He is now 16 years old. After a
month at Bremerton, he was assigned
to the submarine base at New London
Conn., where he underwent training
to become a “listener” in the sub
marine chaser service. In the fol
lowing May he went to Plymouth,
England, with the rank of quartermas
ter first class, and was assigned to
S. C. 84.
In November, 1918, Boryer was
transferred to the destroyer Aylwin,
and after the armistice was sent to
Germany to guard food ships at Dan
zig and other ports. He arrived in
New York last June, and was sent
west, receiving his discharge from
the service last Saturday.
