:So:Say Angry Italians and Some of Their Epithets

Are Unprintable.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN OE cane andianapeiis Times CAIAZZO, Oct 22.—The Italian vocabulary is rich in epithets and they have all been polished up and produced in recent weeks to describe Italy's late allies, the Germans.

Fascists Worst Critics i 3 > at >

We have met no more indignant critic of the Germans than six local Fascists of Caiazzo whom we found sitting in the local jail following their arrest by fellow citizens. Angelo Simone, secretary of the local fascio, and his brother complainéd that their home had been visited by German troopers seven times, that they themselves had been chased to the hills, that their wives and daughters had been threatened with deportation and that their houses had been looted and finally burned, Aside from griaver complaints | based on wholesale murder and | isolated cases of rape, we receive a dozen bitter complaints every time! we walk down a local street,
