Il Care Little for Formalities," Says
Victor Emmanuel, Making
Americans Feel at Ease.
UNUSUAL FEAT IN ENGLISH
Signor Luzzatti Learns to Read His
Address in Language of Wis
itors N Two Hours.

Rome, May 25.--The American ag-
ricultural commission which visited
Rome this week is taking away a
lasting remembrance of at least two
very prominent men met while here,
namely, King Victor Emmanuel and
Signor Luzzatti, the former minis
ter Of finance and agriculture and
once president of the cabinet.
OF the commission experience
with King Victor story is now
being told which, besides throwing
more Light on the Kings democratic
ideas and disregard for etiquette,
also explains why the delegates were
50 pleased with the reception at
which the King and Jueen Elena
were present.
According to the story, on leaving
America many members of the COM
mission little thought they would
come ii contact with crowned heads
of several European countries ana
failed to bring along evening dress
suits, Prince Alberts, cutaways and
striped trousers.
King Valves Formalities.
II thus happened that when the
commissioners presentation to the
King and laneen was sct for 5 o'el6tlS
in the afternoon many delegates i'm
formed Ambassador OBrien that
they would he unable to be present
on account of the fact that they had
no evening clothes with them.
The Ambassador, who knows the
King intimately, decided to inform
his majesty of the delegates plight
and the Kings answer was:
Nov, Mr. O'Brien, tell them to
come even in walking coats. | know
they are here to work and not to en-
joy themselves. Besides, care little
for formalities
Signor Luzzatti, after reading his
speech on cooperative banking, told
his American hearers his English
pronunciation was the result Of only
two hours OF study with an English
teacher.
0Brien on Japanese Affair.
Curiosity Of the Americans, once
aroused, had to be satisfied, and Luz
zatti told them he first ordered a
translation Of his speech, but that
afterward he decided to read it, and.
accordingly, requested Mrs. Agresti,
David Iubih's secretary. to explain
to him some of the intricacies OF
English pronunciation and that it
had taken Mrs. Agresti just two
hours TO teach him to read his
speech
The American delegates consid-
cred the feat wonderful, as Signor
Lu2zatti is more than seventy years
old.
Ambassador O'Brien, in discussing
the Japan-American situation said
Il cont think the situation dan
gerous in any sense, There should
be no talk of war. Japan is closely
hound to the United States by many
strong and enduring ties and she
would hesitate long before ending
these relations, having such senti-
mental and economic value to her. .

LORD aornscHILD DECLARES
 H. s SHOULD ANNEX MEXICO

I.oNDoN.-Lord Rothschild in an interview with the New York Ameri- can expressed in two sentences the sentiment of the business community in London toward Mexico and the at- titude of the United States.
 T have not touched Mexican af- fairs at any time," said Lord Roth- schild. Ihave never trusted them' and trust them still less today. No- body can appreciate better than the thought that bondholders and people having interests in Mexico would be only too glad to see the United States annex Mexico.
 .r don't want to express an opinion on the policy the United States shou'o pursue. would not attempt to ad- wise anyone on a country which would not touch myself. But 1t IS < fact that enormous sums Of money have been invested in that country and that still another rumpus appears likely. It is not for me to express ar opinion; I am only an outsider on the matter. but 1t is plain to anyone thn' anarchy won't help those who have contributed so largely to the country'' comniercinl exploitation.
