have not contributed to upbung of America They
not taxed themselves to bear the burdens Of gov

But now that Europe is bathed in blood like many
Americans who formerly lived in Mexico, they regis
erng embassies and legations and the offices OF
ronsuls as American citizens and seeking United States
protection The United States countenances these dec
larations but declines give them official backing
through the issuance of passports

recognition of their government to which they now

Italy and Germany. At any rate the treaty was
denounced and Italy Immediately began sending troops

The Italian troops having taken section of the
