The local military party, whose uniforms resemble those of the Canadian Mounted Police, are also looking for a jewel thief-an English girl who visited a bank vault before the looting started, got away with the "Peralta diamonds."

"Italy does not admit," he roared, "that she has been carrying on the war other than in the most humanitarian way possible-under the circumstances."
