AMERICAN DAY ■
CELEBRATED AT
ITALIAN FRONT
HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY,
May 14 (by mail).—An imposing mili
tary spectacle was held at the front
recently when an Italian army corps
put into effect the elaborate system
of military athletic games which the
American Young Men's Christian
Association is developing in Italy.
Major General de Gorgio and many
officers of high rank were present, and
some 10,000 troops were assembled
from the near-by fighting front.
From the vast plain where the exer
cises were held one could see the
mountain defenses of Mount Grappa
and Mount Tomba, and further back
the distant lines of the enemy posi
tions.
General de Gorgio had designated
the day “American Day” in recogni
tion of the American cooperation in
the affair; the American consul at
Venice, Mr. Carroll, and his wife were
present; American flags waved at
every hand; the official program
showed the American and Italian
colors entwined; the Italian military
bands played "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner” and there were many evidences
of cordial good will toward the
American allies.
The military games carried out the
plan of the Y. M. C. A. of applying
athletics to large groups, even up to
regiments and battalions, instead of
to individuals. One set of contestants
were 40 men from each of a number
of regiments. These parties of 40
ran over a five mile course, with suc
cessive lines of of obstruction of
trenches, barbed-wire entanglements,
ditches and barricades. One of the
barricades was a three-story house,
which had to be scaled by climbing
up the window cornices on one side
and down the other
Another contest was between the
machine-gun sections aided by engi
neers, who forded streams and set
up pontoon bridges, while the gun
ners crossed with their guns and
ammunition, set up hastily construct
ed lines of works and opened up a
fusillade with blank cartridges.
At the same time another fusillade
was coming from the hand-grenade
represented all the infantry and
assault battalions.
In pulling the rope the artillery
regiments were pitted against each
other, sixteen men from each regi
ment, and in the football the engi
neers were matched against the
artillery.
1 he appearance of the Bohemian
unit, recently organized from natives
of Austria’s big province, was the sig
nal for tremendous enthusiasm. They
wore the red and white athletic cos
tume of the Bohemian gymnasiums,
and in open order stretched across the
plain and went through the Bohemian
manual of arms with its slow and
graceful physical exercises. Keeping
time with their movements they in
toned the Bohemian national hymn,
and as they closed a great bannei
was raised from their ranks bearing
the inscription, “Long Live Bohemia
Long live Italy”.
Many handsome prizes were given
to the successful regimental teams,
the American Y. M. C. A. taking a
leading part in this branch of the
exercises. General de Gorgio also
paid a special tribute of appreciation
to the officers of the Bohemian troops
by presenting watches to them. Mrs.
Carroll, wife of the American consul
conferred the gifts on the several
officers. And in order that none oi
the 10,000 soldiers should be disap
pointed, the American Red Cross
brought camions loaded with ten
thousand packages, each containing
some useful articles of soldiers’ wear
and food.
One of the most notable features
of this affair was that these splendid
athletes, full of enthusiasm and vigor
—men who could run five miles and
scale a three-story house—were part
of the Second army, It was the Sec
ond army, it will be recalled, that
bore the brunt of the tremendous
Austrian rush last fall, when the re
treat was made back to the present
Piave mountain lines. There was
some murmuring at the time when the
Second army gave way before the
terrific" onrush. But all this mur
muring is past now, and the splendid
vigor of the reconstituted Second
army was reflected today in the
steadiness, enthusiasm and pride dis
played by the representatives of this
famous old army.

MSI DIME M
ROME, June 27.—“To keep war
capital occupied after the war is at
once the greatest problem and the
greatest danger of our tomorrow, when
the war is over, says the newspaper,
Popolo Romano. “At present we have
enormous sums in circulation because
of money invested in war industries.
We should now begin to devise plans
to keep this fluid money working, to
make sure that Italy will not be sub
jected to the process known as dump
ing, a process which destroys home
industry.”
