Last Tuesday evening 320 of our countrymen left Chicago on the Pere Marquette Railroad for New York to sail for Italy and offer their services to the nation.

Scenes of sublime patriotism were shown as men enrolled at the depot in the hours preceding the departure.

With the departure of Tuesday's group this colony numbers close to two thousand who have volunteered to fight for their Fatherland.

This last convoy has boarded the "Tommaso di Savoia" for Italy.

It is calculated that there arrives in Italy from all parts of the United States, from 3,000 to 5,000 men weekly.

In all parts of the United States Italians parade through the Italian quarters singing patriotic songs, and enthusiastically applaud as the Italian flag passes by.
