ADOPTED BY PREMIER. Romantic Story of Brave Italian Boy. Rome, Sunday (received Monday).—The war correspondent of the Giornale d'ltalia relates the following incident when the Premier, Signor Orlando, was recently visiting the front:— He was made acquainted with the story of a youth of 15, named Marcello Davide, serving with the 21st Regiment, who had run away from his parents in the invaded territory and had gone to work as a labourer iu the war zone. Ho gave up his employment to fight along with the 21st TTegiment, and in his new sphere of activity was soon remarked for his obser- vance, discipline, and-his bravery. Signor Orlando, on learrung these par- ticulars, and in addition the fact that the boy would not hear of leaving the front, addressed the colonel of the regiment as follows: Be good enough, colonel, to keep this lad. From now on I adopt him as a son," and then turning to the young soldier he continued, You a.re another of my sons. Write to me every month, an,d tell me how you are getting on. For the present go on fighting for your coun- try against the menace of autocracy and militarism/'
