Garibaldis for Freedom.

Where his study window looks out on the yellow waters of the Tiber, winding through the Rome for which he fought so long and bravely, I listened, one afternoon In late December, to that fiery old warrior, Gen. Ricciotti Garibaldi, while he spoke of the war and of Italy’s part In it, Lewis R. Freeman Writes In World’s Work. “All of my boys are fighting,” he had said, “and my daughters and my wife are nursing. Two of the boys are gone—killed in France—but the other five are with the Italian army. They are all good fighters, I think; but one of them—Pepplno, the eldest—is also an able soldier. Or at least he ought to be, for he has been trained In the *Garibaldl’ school. There hasn’t been a war (save that between Russia and Japan) or revolution In any part of the world in the last twenty years In which he hasn’t drawn a sword, carried a rifle or swung a machete."
