WARLIKE ITALIANS'
WEAPONS SEIZED
JEVeserviBts Going Home on Ancona
Talk of Going to Front.
Fifteen hundred Italian Reservists, os
tensibly "going homo for Christmas," left
the Municipal pier, at Vine street, on the
Italia liner Ancona shortly after noon
today, after each man had been searched
on the deck of the liner for weapons. The
men are going home to Join their regi
ments In the Italian army, according to
their statements through Interpreters.
A detail of police from the 1th and
Race streeta station, under Lieutenant
McBrlde ond six detectives from City
Hall, was sent d keep order In the
crowd of MOO Italian men and women
who went to the pier, disregarding the
driving rain, to cheer their returning
fellow countrymen
Officials of the line explained the un
usually large number of stalwart men
between tho ages of IS nnd 3S years re
turning on tho Ancona by saying that
they probably were going home for
Christmas. Few of the passengers on the
liner bore out this statement. Most of
them proudly said they were on their
way to join the colors of their native
land.
A good-sized arsenal of revolvers of all
makes and dates, stilettos arid ordinary
knives were collected In the search of tha
reservists, Police headquarters sent a
tip to the officials of the boat that many
of the men returning home probably
would be armed.
They advised that the passengers be
searched, This was done on the deck as
the reservists came aboard Men on the
ship who made the search said that
nearly every man had soma kind of a
weapon.
Fears that the German cruisers- said
to be In the Atlantic might make an at
tempt to halt the Ancona and prevent
the return to Italy of the reservists were
expressed at the pier by some of the
minor officers It was said that in Ital
all the newspapers" were "playing- up" the
necessity of mobilizing the army to Its
greatest strength The war spirit is
everywhere Through the Italian papers
It ha.t apparently penetrated to the
Italians living In the United States.
Tbe Ancona will stop at New Voek and
then, win go to Naples, Genoa ana Pal
ermo. s i
The detectives detailed to the crowd
to keep order were Lynch. Farrell. Mul

trouble. WhJle the hawsers ware being
cast off the great throng stood barehead
