BUM FRONT
HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY,
May 6 (by mail).—There is a narrow
pass on the mountain frdnt of the
Grappe which has given the Italians
a k»t of trouble up to a short time j
ago. It is a rocky defile with cliffs!
rising a sheer thousand feet on either
side. Through this narrow passage
it was necessary for the men to go
every day in handling supplies. But
as they passed they were picked off
one by one by an Austrian sharp
shooter in a cavern near the top of the
cliffs. Here he had been lowered and
the deadly fusillade kept up all day.j
It was recently observed, however, |
that a strangs change came over the
operations from the cliff. The shots
rang out as usual whenever an Italian
soldier went through the pass. But,
singularly, no man ever fell; the shots
always went wide of the mark; the
cunning of the shapshooter appeared
to be at an end. This continued for
days, with the Italians going back and
forth safely, and the aimless and idle
shots ringing out from the enemy post
in the cliff.
The Italians finally made a dash to j
clear out the place, their batteries j
pouring shots into the cavern while
a scaling party entered it from one]
side. In the lead of the climbing party
was Lieutenant Gugliamentti, and as
he rushed into the cavern a singular
sight was before him. Stretched on the
groufld was an Austrian soldier dying I
from an Italian bullet wound. But J
though an Austrian soldier in the gray-1
green uniform of the Austrian army,!
the wounded man raised himself on
his elbow, drew a tiny Italian flag
from his pocket, and in a faint voice
exclaimed “Vive T Italia.”
The dying man had only time to
whisper his story. He was Giorgio
Avanzini, nephew of the socialist dep
uty Avanzini, representing the city of
Trent in the Austrian parliament. Like
all people of Trent and the Trentino,
he was an Italian by instinct though
forced by the political situation of
Trent under Austria to enter the Aus
trian army. As such he found himself
in the Austrian lines at the top of
the cliff, and he had been detailed
for the dangerous task of being low
ered into the cavern to pick off Ital
ian soldiers as they passed. Being
under observation he kept his rifle
going, the shots rang out regularly,
but Avanzini took care that no shot
found its mark in an Italian soldier.
Avanzini’s body was lowered to the
Italian lives, and the soldiers whose
lives he had spared joined in giving
the honors of war to a man wearing
an enemy uniform.
