SIXTY MEN IN
ITALIAN GUARD
“most UNHAPPY
UOMK, May . — (Correspondence
of The Associated i’ress):— Among
the most unhappy men in Italy are
said to be sixty soldiers of the lung’s
Guard who are not peynitted to go to
the front and fight like their brothers.
The reason lor this restriction is that
these sixty men could probably not be
replaced if killed, injured, or taken
prisoners. They are chosen with the
utmost care not only as regards theii
habits and training but their height
the minimum of which is six leet.
“They begin where other stop grow
ing”, according to a popular saying.
Many of them are even seven feet in
height. They are chosen from the car
abinieri or military police and must
have absolutely unstained records,
hach newly enrolled man, if he accepts
the appointment , must agree to re
main for a term of five years, in the
guards, after which he may or may
not reenlist. During that period, also,
he may not marry.
lhe guards and thear horses are
I quartered inside the ground of the
Koyal palace on Quirinal Hill. The
Guard does sentinel duty inside these
grounds when King Victor Emmanuel
is in Rome, and also accompany him
1 on state occasions, as on tnat of
March 111 1912, when the King was
going along the Corso to visit the
tomb of his father in the Patheon, the
| anarchist d’ Alba fired twice and
wounded Captain Lang of the Guards
instead of the King.
Since the war began, although the
King lives at the front and undergoes
all its dangers, members of the Guard
are to he seen now and then walking
through the street of Rome, attracting
attention and admiration because of
their immense figures and shining
helmets, but for all that, jealous of
the stained and bespattered gray
green uniforms of soldiers on leave
from the front trenches.
