fate And Memory Of Hero Is Ke-
ii :- " .vered By People.
Italy, has Just commemorated tho
second anniversary of the death , or
Ccaro BaUlsll, who. was hanged
as a traitor by tho Austrlans two
Jays after he had been captured,
Wounded, while leading his Alpinl
to vctory i in ' a dashing charge.
Who was Cosare Buttistl? Why
should the memory of an Alplnu
sub-lle,utonant be occasion; foi na-tlon-wldo
prayers after Italy has
given so laviBlily of 'her boat blood?
What had this soldier ' done that
onttlns his namo to be cherished
In the, Trentlno for centuries as
It will bo like .that of Wallace of
Scotland and Joan the Maid In.
France.
Ho nnd given hlmsolf for man?
years his keen Intellect, his flam
ing soul, his virile beautiful body.
And at the last ho went to death
as a young bridegroom goes to Ills
woddlng. v:."r
V On the 10th of July, lUKi, Bat
tistl was wounded at -Vallaisa dur
lug an ' audacious ; attack on .re
treating Austrians. ;Ho was cp
tured, and all Italy held us breath
while It - waited to learn his fate.
A week later news of this reached
Italy. He had bean .' taken . to
Trent and hold for two days while
lisng, the hangman of the Emper
or, came down from Vienna. '
, .In the courtyard of the old cas
tle of Buon Conclglio the prisoner
was dressed in a check suit to uialce
sport for tho soldiers and : was
luingod with every : indignity..'; It
was arranged that tho cord .should
break twice, Tho victim was lift
ed up and the rope re-arranged.
He cried aloud In a clear resonant
voice "Vlvi L'ltalia!" Thoy were
Ma ) last words. After the execu
tion a series . of . shocking photo
graphs wore taken to throw rldlculo
on 'the dead hero. . They : are ;a
spiritual, Indictment, i of , Austria's
soul. ... ', : ' '? '
J, But the answer as to why Italy
cherishes the name of Battlstl lies
lie was. Ho 'Was the voice or
freedom in the Trentlno. To that
ho hud dedicated his life., i For
years ' his great; soul had burned
with a pure zeal to koop the flame
of Ituliaiiasiu alive in his beloved
tand.., v.
J No difficulties and no dangers
had been able to daunt his pas
sion and devotion for liberty.' Ho
spent gladly all that he had for
his native land. V While Austria
hnngod him In a clown's suit with
ribald laughter he hold his fine
leonine head erect und cried stead-
iiv. ''Death to Austria. Lone live
Italy."
.Viva l'ltalia! That . had been
the' dreum of Buttistl since tho
days of his flaming youth. .Born
in Trent,; ho. had known all his
life the Insolence and tyranny of
Austrian rule oyer Italia Irredenta.
When the European war broke
out 'he crossed with his family to
Milan and began a scries' of talks
in which lie urged Italy to join
the. Allies ; In order to win the
Trentlno and to bring larger free
dom, to the world. i
Ho enlisted tho day after war
was doclared us a private in an Al
pine regiment. Lutor lie was made
ft,- sub-lieutonant. in tno nignoBi

and privations of , camp life. H

of hard oxlstence had been among

of soul," ho said. ,. He wrote with
fine:, tendornoss of .the grey 1 old
soldiers who tried to protect ' thp
young -fellows from danger by
Htanding between it and them.
J Baltlall did all that, was humanly
possible for his soldiers. He nurs
ed their frozen limbs. He, wrote
letters home for them. In . the
ngbt he watched over them while
they slept. Ills soul went out to
them as that of Johnathan did to
David. It Is impossible to read
the book he wroto nbout tho Al
nliil without knowing how he loved

i V Use Splints of Wire Netting.' '
'.'-A new kind of surgical splint in
which galvanized wire netting takes
tie place of wood, has been put on
I he tnnrkct, says the Popular Science
Sionthly. It hns been tried and offers
many advantages. The steel entering
Into the construction of this woven
wire splint Is'-so tempered that It can
be molded by hand. Being galvanized.
the wire la sterilized and at the same
jtlnio welded Into a single piece Uint
enn not frny out at loose ends. As
the splint Is porous. It ajlows a certain
amount of evaporation and air circula
tion to the dressing beneath, which
wood or plaster docs ant. The splint
comes rolled like a bav.ge and is
lighter and less bulky tiicn wooden
tpllnts. ,
'5 Nation of the Steamboat,
c ;Edwnrd Hungerform, WTitlng of the
evolution of the steamboat In the Na
tional Marine, opens his argument
with the following paragraph:
"The United States has been and
still remains the nation of the steam
boat. She was the first nation to suc
cessfully apply steam propulsion to
boats, and even though England shot
ahead of us In her development of ths
steam vessel upon the salt seas while
we still clang rather proudly to our
vaunted clipper ships we had a grest
pride In the steamboats, big and little,
whleh plied upon our Inland waters.
JfnrTthe affection that the steamboat
gained In the hearts of Americans
more than a centruy It has never lost"

WILL DESIGN OWN SUITS.
LONDON, Aug. 6. (By : Unltod
Press.) Man always did set a bad ex
ample The clumsiness of the men's
standard suits has proven to the fair
sex that mere man most not attempt
to have a voice in choosing a suitable
standard uniform for women, .' i-
Women are unanimous 111. declaring
they must select" the style and cut
themselves.
' A concensus of feminine opinion inclines-to
have quality and price of
materials for standard dresses fixed,
and also prices for making. TJierc is
a strong demand that steps should be
taken to place these standardized ar
ticles on the market in readiness for
the cold winter weather. " '
5 'IBut," says a leading W.A.A.C. of
ficer, "don't Jet men make any mis
take., Girls are wearing uniforms for
the war's sake, but none of them real
ly like it.' Mv otirls are always tellins
me how they long t5 break forth into
bright cojors, and when the war's over
there'll be no holding them back in
this .direction. They have the good
sense to wear plain things, and they
aro sensible enough to work for the
nation, therefore . they are sensible
enough, to choose the cut of their
suits" And woe betide tho man who
tries, to "lay down the law" on this
point! : ;.."' 7 ..-X-
