Garibaldi Goes To Greece.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 2, 1912:
Son of Italian Hero Arrives There to Fight Against Turkey.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    ROME, Nov. 1.— Although the Italian Government has decided to maintain the strictest neutrality in connection with the Balkan complications, the enthusiasm of the people here is growing in favor of the four small States fighting for the independence of their fellow-countrymen still subject to Ottoman rule.
    In this there is no feeling of resentment against Turkey caused by the late war in Tripoli, but simply the chivalrous sentiment which has always animated Italians whenever a people have risen in the name of a nationality.
    Besides the numbers of volunteers who had already joined the Montenegrins and the Greeks, a large body of youths had been urging Gen. Ricciotti Garibaldi, son of the great hero, to organize an expedition and put himself at its head, as he did in 1897, at the time of the Graeco-Turkish war. Garibaldi did so, and arrived at Patras yesterday.
    Another tie with the Balkan States is due to the fact that all the Bulgarian Generals now at the front have been students at the Military Academy of Turin and that 250 other Bulgarian officers on the staff and in the army which is now confronting Turkey served in the Italian Army.
