extracted text (Extract Text): ‘THESE men are not playing bugaboo

Turks veiling their blushing faces, nor yet

Italian soldiers very sensi
bly covered with mosquito
netting prior to turning in
for a night's rest. The com-
fort. of screened windows
was not theirs in_their
rude homes on the Piave,
and Austrian mosquitos

night, the pests probably
slunk away baffled.
