They came in time to the town's main square, which, i9as called Pi azza Progresso- And on that square they saw the building they were looking for. : There was a clock tower on the left hand front corner. On top of the tower there was a metal frame which must have been designed to hold a bell. It was baroque and looked very old. But there was no belL , On the side of the clock tower big white letters said: ' l l Popolo Itali ano ha creata col suo sangue l'Im pero, lo feconderà col sua lavoro a lo difenderà contra chiunque colle sue armi-jF . ,, Jj? , 1 The Major pointed and gaid:/*See, Borth. even after our invasion it says: T he Italian people built the Empire w|th their blood, will make It fruitful with their work and win defend it against anyone with their arm s.’ ” Borth said: "I know you can read Italian.

Borth said: “That sounds silly too. Remember the alley, clean up tha alleyway, sir. it is the alley thaf you ought to concentrate on “ The Major walked across the Pi azza up to the big black door of the Palazzo, put his brief case down, took a piece of chalk out of his pocket, and wrote on a panel ot the door: "Victor Joppolo. Major, U.8.A., AMGOT. Town of Adano." Then both men went inside and up some marble stairs, looking all around them as they climbed They took a turn and went through a door marked Podesta The office oo the other side of that door took Vic tor Joppolo’s breath away In the first place, it was so very It must have' been seventy feet long and thirty feet wide. The ceiling was high, and the floor was big- marble. "Say.” said Major Joppolo. “thia to okay.” "Looks like that office of Musso lini’s." Borth said. "Come to think of it, you look quite a lot like Mus solini, sir, dxcept the mustache. Will It be okay with you to be a Musso lini?” “Cut tbe kidding,” the M ajor said. “Let's look around.’* They wenl out through the white door at the end of the room and walked through several offices, all of which were crowded with desks and files and bookcases. The files had not been emptied or even dis turbed. "Good,” said Borth. “lists of names, every one registered and all their records. It'll be easy for us here.” The Major said: “What a differ ence between my office and these others. It is shameful.” All Borth said was: “Your of fice?" When the two went back into the big office there was an Italian there. He had evidently been hiding in the building. He was a small man, with a shiny linen office coat on. with his collar buttoned but no tie. The small Italian gave the Fascist salute and with an eager face said in Italian: "Welcome to the’’Ameri cans I Live Roosevelt! How glad I am that you have arrived. Fpr many years I have hated the Faa- cists." The Major said in Italian: “Who •re you?" The little man said: "Zito Giu seppe. I have been well known as anti-Fascist." Major Joppolo said: “What do you do?" Zito said: "1 greet the Ameri- cans." Borth said in an Italian which was hertrily accented: "Idiot, what was your Job before the disembarka tion?" , Zito said: | "Zito Giovanni, usher in the Palagio di Citte, native of ” Adano.” Major Joppolo said: "You were the usher here?” "Every day from eight to eight." "Why did you work for the Fas cists if you hated them?" "I have hated them many years, I affi well known as antl-FascisL I have lived under a great suspl- aloo.” ♦ ' ' - , *,*. The Major skid: "Usher. I love the truth, you will find that out. If you lie to nqe, you will be In very serious trouble. Do not lie to me.
