WILSON SILENT
ON conference
OF bERNST0RFF
Purpose of Visit Said to Be
to Discuss Issue Between
His Country and United
States.

WASHINGTON, June Count Won
Bernstorff conferred with President
Wilson for ten minutes regarding the
crisis between Germany and the Unit
ed States today. He would say moth
ing regarding his call and nothing has
been learned of the purpose of his
visit except that it was to discuss the
issue between his country and the
United States.
The Italian ambassador called on
President Wilson to thank him for his
courtesy in permitting the American
embassy in Vienna to take over Ital-
ian interests there. He did not touch
on the war in any way.
The two ambassadors narrowly es-
capped meeting each other in the lobby.
The Wilson-Bernstorff conference
marked new departure, for it is the
first time since the outbreak OF the
war that the German ambassador has
sought to discuss with the president
the affairs of the two nations, now
admitted to constitute a most delicate
situation.
Aim Of Ambassador.
The German amba ssador has paid
seevral visits to Secretary of State
Bryan, but his call at the white house
today served to emphasize the gravity
Of the differences now existing be"
tween the Washington and Berlin gov
ernments.
In diplomatic quarters close to the
German embassy it was suggested
that Count Won Bernstorff aimed to
elicit from President Wilson an opin-
ion as to how German may continue,
to conduct her submarine warfare and
at the same time make sure of not
harming citizens of the United States.
The ambassador also expected to ask
for time, following the note OF his
government, to establish the facts
in the Lusitania case.
Wants No Delay.
This government, it is known, is not
inclined to long-drawn-out diplomatic
correspondence concerning the issues
of fact raised by Germany, but, COM
paratively sure of the facts, is vitality
interested in the upholding of the prin-
ciples of international law and humani-
tarianism. The president was believ-
ed to be prepared to so inform the
German ambassador.

cording his ballot at the polls after
the fashion of President Wilson.
In some ways the king resembles
Theodore Roosevelt. He was a sickly

himself to hardy manhood by Spartan
methods. He is a man of almost uni

Conservative in Speech.
Unlike Roosevelt, he is conservative

methods. But when a bad railway

he jumps to the scene in true Roose-

ROME, June 2.-Victor Emmanuel
III is a monarch of the most drastic
kingdom in the world. When the
plain people Of Italy finally forced the
nation into war for the unredeemed
Italian lands of Austria, their demo-
cratic king decided to share his sol,
diers' hardships. His action in taking
the field and turning the sceptre tenn
porarily over to his uncle, the Duke
of Genoa, has been received here with
the widest enthusiasm, and the house
of Savoy was never more popular than
today.
Their monarch just suits Italians.
He is more like an American presi-
dent than a European king. Italy for
the most part is intensely republican,
with a leaning to socialism. 1t is
greatly tinctured with American
thought, due to the close connection
brought about by the return of immi
grants from the New World.
Intensely Republican.
His majesty is also Republican, with
drift toward socialism. He has
made three leading Socialists senators
and has shown in various ways his de-
termination to solidify his people by
exhibiting tolerance of this most radi-
cal section of his subjects.
He also requested that his name be
included in the list Of electors. He

AS an illustration of his actions in
an emergency, an incident of the Gala

When the news of this disaster arriv-
ed, the king was holding a grand ball
in his castle at Racconiggi. Without
an instant's hesitation he flung a cloak
over his uniform, hurried off to the
scene of action and tirelessly helped
in rescuing his hapless subjects. So
freely did he expose himself, that
some one ventured to demonstrate
with him.
"Why run these unnecessary risks ?"
urged the Courtier.

grimly.
The king will be very busy at his
trade for some time to come.
