Veteran of Heroic Italian
Armies to Visit City
to Aid Big War Fund
A large representation of Harris
burg's citizens whose ancestors
came from Italy are expected at the
Regent theater to-morrow afternoon
when Colonel Americo Pio, who has
been wounded on the French and
Italian fronts, will tell of his ex
periences.
Colonel Pio will he met on his ar
rival here by Mayor Keister, M. Acri,
J. J. Pariolo, T. Comilla, P. Mag
nelli, J. M. Monti and Peter Magaro,
chairman.
The true condition of affairs in
f Italy will be made the subject of the
| colonel's talk. One of the favorite
tricks of German propaganda is to
tell the Italian people that America
is not back of Italy in this war, and
the speaker will attempt to restore
the confidence of the Italian people
in America. Colonel Pio's visit is in
the interest of the Italian Red Cross.
Besides Col. Pio's speech, William
M. Hargest, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral, and Senator 13. E. Beidleman
will speak. In addition there will be
a number of reels of Italian battle
front moving pictures. These pic
tures are used exclusively by the
Italian mission to America and are
not shown publicly. The following

"We have no direct information re

COUNTY BAR ASKS
JUDGE KUNKEL TO

Harrisburg Jurist Is Urged to
Stand For Supreme Bench
Because of His Fitness
Replying to a letter asking en
dorsement of Joseph W. Bouton, of
the Forty-eighth Judicial District, for
Justice of the State Supreme Court,
Charles C. Stroh, president of the
Dauphin County Bar Association,
stated that the county organization
is endeavoring to persuade President
Judge George Kunkel to permit the
use of his name for the office at the
ensuing election. In his communica
tion making this announcement, Mr.
Stroh calls attention to the esteem
of the Bar Association for Judge
Kunkel. The request to endorse one
of the other candidates was received
by Secretary Job J, Conklin from
Thomas J Melvin, Bradford
The letter written by Mr. Stroh
follows:
"Your letter of the 20th Instant
addressed to Job J. Conklin, secre
tary of the Dauphin County Bar As
sociation, relative to the candidacy
of Hon. Joseph W. Bouton, of the
Forty-eighth Judicial District, for
Justice of the State Supreme Court,
is received. ,
"The Dauphin County Bar Associa
tion will not at this time endorse
any. candidate for the said office for
the very simple reason that we are
endeavoring to persuade our Presi
dent Judge, Hon. George Kunkel, to
permit the use of his name for the
office of Justice of the State Supreme
Court at the ensuing election. We
regard Judge Kunkel without a peer
anywhere."
March at his first conference last
week fixed the number shipped at
more than 800,000, the addition of
100,000 'luring the week showing the
rate of progress that is being made.
While the general buttle situation

Around Montello and in the region
of the lower Piave Italian cavalry is
being used to help push the enemy
back. They are aided by armored
cars carrying machine guns.
The rising waters of the Piave
and the activity of the Italian ar
tillery are making It difficult for the
Austrians to obtain food. While the
water carries some bridges away and '
damages others, the gunners are
sinking boats and hammering the ,
damaged bridges and floats.
