TIRED OF WAR
MUSSOLINI’S PICTURE KICKED LONDON, June 14 As the long column of Italian prisoners marched through Pantellaria on Friday and passed a wall on which there was a picture of Mussolini one of the prisoners ran from the column and gave the picture a good hearty kick. He was cheered by his compatriots. A correspondent, in reporting the incident, said that prisoners declared that the people at home were thoroughly sick of the war. The troops were furious with the Germans for leaving the island shortly before the bombardment commenced. They claimed that the Germans realised that the surrender of the island was inevitable and left in a hurry by night.
