opposed to the idea Of an investiga-
tion or diplomatic discussion OF cases
in dispute between Germany and the

and that the United States win not be
required to yield any of its rights

not printed in advance of the publ-
cation of the official text.

is quoted as having said with a smile
in his farewell interview with the
president. He told Mr.. Wilson he be-
lieved he could be Of service in the
country by securing an expression Of
the peaceful desires of the nation and
help to prevent war.
Later when Mr.. Bryan's statement
appeared, comment in high official
quarters was still friendly toward Mr..
Bryan personally, but sharp issue was

STOCK MARKET QUIET
 PRICES REMAIN FAIR
Colts Arms Showing Upward TeR- / dtaCy--W Talk.
Furnished by Richter & Col

During the past week our local stocks have been rather quiet, but ir1 general prices have held firm. North
 x Judd is quoted no bid, 112 asked
 with sales in between. American Hardware is quoted 125 bid, 12s asked. The Corbin Screw division of
 this company is reported to be very
 busy at the present time, and the bus
 mess of the other division is improv-
 ing. Stanley Works is quoted 59 bid,
 62 asked, and sales have taken place
 recently at ranging from 59 1-2 to
 62. New Britain Machine is quoted 63
 bid, 67 asked and sales have ranged
 between 65 and 67. The business of this company is better than ever before
 and many of their departments are
 running night and day. Union Mfg.
 company remains the same at GA bid,
 66 asked, with very few transactions.
 Quotations of Stanley Rule & Level are 390 bid, 40 asked, and Landers, Frary, & Clark holds firm at 56 bid, 5S asked. ~.
 Colts Arms still continues to be the most active of the Hartford stocks, and although stock recently sold as low as 330 there has been more de- mand for the stock during the last two days, and 3SS is freely bid for stock at the present time. The asking price is SAP. The other Hartford stocks remain about the same except for some little liquidation in the Life Insurance company stocks,and they are quoted slightly lower.
 The sinking of the Lusitania had the same effect on the market that the outbreak of the war had last July. The first result was one of extreme fear and the market had a severe re- action. There were no sales of our local stock although nominal prices remained the same. Since then the situation has been viewed with more calmness and confidence is slowly, but surely returning. There is no doubt that the fundamental condi- tions in our country are more sound than ever before in it's history in re- gard to agricultural and financial con- ditions and general business prosper ity
 The manufacturing companies which are directly benefited by the war are doing business at a rate never equalled before, and concerns that are not directly benefited by the war are doing a good average business which seems to be improving all the time. The general tone of the stock market is one of hesitation until it be- comes known what sort of a reply Germany will make to President Will sons note. We believe that people who invest at the present time will fare better than those who. wait until the skies are clear. All indications point to still further improvements in general business conditions.

! Paris, May 20, 5:20 p. m.-The l Temps publishes a telegram from 1 Rome, despatched at o'clock p. m., 1 in which the correspondent says: "Al] l the galleries of the chamber of dep ] uties were crowded at l o'clock, some time before parliament reassembled. l There were 450 deputies in their seats l Only one incident marked the open ing of the session; that was when Gabrielle q Annunzio entered the gal lery. All the deputies stood up and shouted: 'Vivi d. Annunzio: Viva Italia:''
 Two or three socialists deputies tested against this ovation to AAn- nunzio, but their voices were lost in the cheering.
 NIarcora Takes Place.
 Signor Marcora, president of the chamber. took, his place at o'clock All the members of the house and everybody in the galleries stood up to acclaim the old follower of Garibaldi
 Then Premier Salandra, followed by all the members of the cabinet, entered. It was a solemn momer t. A delirium/of cries broke out. Viva Salandra!' were the words and the cheering lasted for five minutes. Pre- mier Salandra appeared to be much moved by the demonstration.
 Salandra Presents Bill.
 After the formalities of the open- ing, Premier Salandra arose and said: 'Gentlemen: I have the honor to present to you bill to meet the event. ual expenditures of a national war \ Prolonged applause followed this announcement.
 Exposition or Situation.
 The premier then began an exposi- ton of the situation of Italy before the opening of hostilities in Europe He declared that Italy had submitted to every humiliation from Austra- Hungary for the love of peace. By her ultimatum to Serbia, the premier said. Austria had annulled the equilib- rum of the Balkans and prejudiced Italian interests there. Notwitnstand- ing this evident violation of the treaty of the triple alliance, Italy endeavored during long months to avoid a conflict, but these efforts were bound to have a limit in time and dignity. This is why the government felt itself forced to present it's denunciation of the triple alliance on May A., said Premier Salandra.
 These declarations were received with great applause, which the pre- nier tried to quiet. When he had sue ceeded in so doing he said Italy must be united at this moment, when her 1 1estinies are being decided
