"The enemy airplanes continue to throw
our soldiers pamphlets In which they ex-
press their benevolent disposition toward

also assuring the soldiers thai the Aus-
trtnas have a scrupulous respect for In-
ternational laws and that the present oc-
cupation or our territories hat only tem-
porary military character without alms or

'This system has the iminedlste purpose
of weakening the righting spirit or tbe
Italians trying to make them reel that
there la no need or righting longer If the
Invaded regions are going to be returned
without rurtber sacrifice on their pari.
To the enemy's snare the Italian sol-
diers reply with multiplied ardor In the
