CITIZENS ARE CAUTIONED
Washington Publishes Another Neu-
trality Proclamation.

Washington, May pa neutrality
proclamation by the United States
covering the entry of Italy in the Eu-
ropean war was published by the
state department.
The proclamation cautions, Ameri-
can citizens that "the laws and trea-
ties of the United States,- without in
terfering with the free expresssion of
opinion and sympathy or with the
commercial manufacture or sale of
arms or munitions of war, neverthe-
less impose on all persons who may
be within their territory and jurisdic-
tion the duty of impartial neutrality
during the existence of the contest"
AS was the case In the other neu-
trality proclamations issued during
the present war the laws of the Unit
ed States forbidding recruiting for
the belligerents in this country or
the fitting out of war vessels are
recited and also the laws governing
belIigerent warships entering Ameri-
can ports. The protection of the
United States, 1t is declared, will be
denied to such American citizens as

NO BREACH OF NEUTRALITY
ItaIys Notice to Residents of United
States to Enroll for Service.

Washington, May 26.-The Italian
government cannot compel naturaliz-
ed Italian citizens in this country to
return to Italy, but if they do not re-
spond to the present call for reservists
they are subject to sewers penalties
if later they shall fall under Italian
jurisdiction.
This is the status of Italians in the
United States as regarded by officials
here. This is due to the fact that
there is no naturalization treaty be-
tween Italy and the United States and
consequently no mutual agreement
that citizens of each country may ex-
patriate themselves. Consequently a
notice to Italians to enroll themselves
for service is not regarded as breach
of neutrality so long as actual enlist.
ment does not take place in the Unit
ed States

Head of Federal Reserve
Board Makes Prediction.
PRAISESNEW BANK SYSTEM
Declares United States Never Before
Was i'm the Position IL Is Today TO
Extend Its Trade by Granting Credit
to Foreign Customers.

Washington, May Ex-Governor
Charles s. Hamlln of the federal re-
serve board. the first speaker at the
days general session of the Pan
American financial conference, told
the delegates that the United States
never before was in the position it is
today to extend its trade by granting
credit to those nations which wish to
be its customers.
II believe, he said, that the world
realizes today that the prosperity of
the people of one nation in the long
run tends to the prosperity of other
nations, while the adversely of one
people must ultimately tend to the
adversely of others. Just as the in
dividual prospers best when his coun-
try prospers, so the nation prospers
best out of the prosperity OF all ma
tons"
Mr.. Hamlin yentured the prediction
that the banking system of the nation
through the federal reserve act will
become "one of the strongest systems
in the world" Sketching the opera
tions of the reserve act, he added:
II think that growing out of this
new banking act the time has come
/ for marvellous development In ouI
foreign trade, especially with Soutt
America, and that an opportunity Ii
/ Il
never has been possible before"

FILES RATE PROTEST
Service Commission Hears Objection
to Proposed New Schedule.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 1s.-The Pub

complaint of tho Keystone Telephone
Company against the proposed schedule of
telephone rates as drafted by experts of
the commission. Other independent COM
panles and the Bell Company have al
ready been heard, and there probably will
be no further hearings.
James Collins Jones. counsel for the
keystone. said the abolition of the fiat
rate would deprive the independents of
the one slogan they had with which to
meet the universal service" slogan of the
Bell He presented figures to show that
the keystone Company's profits were
less than 6 per cent, and said the pro-
posed rates would reduce these by one
sixth.
Jones questioned the authority of the
commission to do anything more than to
correct abuses in rates.
