"a. B. c." to Protest
Levying of Special
Tax on Publishers
Audit Bureau of Calculations
Says Levy Will Kill
ORGANIZATION

Members Of the Audit Bureau of Cir
culations at a luncheon at the Hotel
Astor yesterday voted to instruct their
executive committee to draw up resolu
tions to be sent to the Senate Finance
Committee protesting against special
tax on publishers. Besides the pro-
posed tax Of per cent on profits, the
proposed zone system for the distribu-
tion of second class mail matter
threatens, in some instances, to raise
the price from cne to six cents per
pound.
The Audit Bureau of Calculations. an
organization representing over Lou
publishers of newspapers and perlodl-
calls, with a gross circulation of about
GO, 900, 900, was formed three years ago.
1t includes advertisers who annually
spend more than 00,000,000. It's slogan
is Honesty in Circulation"
Yesterdays meeting followed the
monthly session of the directors and
was the first held here. Formerly al
meetings we're held in Chicago. the
headquarters of the organization. In
the future the meetings will alternate
between the two cities. The annual
convention will be held In New York
next year. Members from cities east
of Pittsburgh and few from the Mid
die West were present yesterday.
William A. Johns, vice-president OF
the George W. Batten Company, pre-
sided. The speakers were LOUIS Bruch,
president of the association; Frank e..

In proposing that resolutions be sent
TO the Senate committee Mr. Hoyt said:
"If the war revenue bill as presented
becomes a law it will be the death
knell OF the Audit Bureau of Circula-
tions. for il will leave so few circula-
tions that there will be nothing left TO

pathy and admiration which one coun-
try entertained for the other marked
every speech. Guglielmo Marconi, the
inventor, in the first speech he has
made since the Italian Mission reached
New York, said:
an normal times we import about
100000 tons of coal a month. We are
now getting somewhat less than half
that amount
Gentlemen, we do not want coal to
heat our houses and our hotels through
out the bitter winter of Northern ltaly.
There is not a man, from King victor
Emmanuel to the poorest peasant IN his
Alpine hut, who would not gladly shiver
and freeze, as hundreds OF our brave
soldiers have done, if by so dong he
could help to win the war for democ-
racy and liberty.
"No, gentlemen, we want COAL we
must have coal, to keep our munition
factories going, to run our railroads
carrying ammunition to the front and
food to all the scattered populations
of the country, and to run our factories.
the stoppage of which would mean the
throwing of a million men out of work,
to starve and increase our difficulties.
"And if we do not get this coal, and
get it quick. our ammunition factories
will have to work half time or stop,
our trains will cease to run, diminish
ing the efficiency of the army, and even
perhaps bringing about local famines,
and hundreds of thousands of our peo-
pie will be thrown out of work"
Enrico Arlotta, Italian Minister of
Transportation, said:
"The commodities needed are wheat
and other cereals, steel for munitions,
and, above all, coal; but these things
have now one name only. and this name
is ships, ships and more ships
The day left London had the
pleasure of paying a visit to our great
friend, Lloyd George. He said to me
these few words: You are going to
America. Well, take my greeting to our
great American friends and tell them
they should employ all the energies of
every industry and all their steel in
the construction of ships. of steamers,
even though they should forego for the
duration of the war the building of
their skyscrapers.'
Mayor Mitchell voiced the city's greet
ing, and President Nicholas Murray
Butler of Columbia College interpreted
Americas aims of mo annexations and
no indemnities." Another speaker was
Charles Z. Hughes. The Prince of
Udine made a very brief address at the
end, thanking the speakers and his
hosts. and through them New York and
the United States. for the warmth of
the reception accorded the war mis-
sion, for their sympathy and coopera-
ton in the war.
The prince and other members of the
war mission went aboard United
States destroyer at Fifty-seventh Street
after the luncheon and were taken on a
sightseeing tour around Manhattan ISL
and before being conveyed to Staten
Island.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-23

For the first time since his arrival
in New York the Prince of Udinc made
a speech in Italian yesterday afternoon.
He stood on the steps of the Garibsldi
Memorial, at Rosebank, Staten Island,
and told $4,000 of his countrymen 10
b. as loyal to the United States as they
would be to Italy if they had remained
there.
Before this memorial of the ma
tional hero" said he; "in this country
which he loved so much and in this
historical moment when the fate Of
Italy is at stake, am glad to speak TO
you American and Italian citizens as
sembled here in one sentiment and one
faith. My word can only be the ex-
preston of your soul, which has
brought the dream of the hero to frui.
ton. Let us hope that from this war,
fought for liberty and democracy. for
the same principles that gave birth TO
the great American republic, may de-
velop an even more generous and hu-
name society than the one which was
the dream of Mazzini and the ideal OF
Garibaldi.
"Let US fight-the citizens of ;he one
country as of the other-for this faith
Every sacrifice we make will be
blessed, every wound will be healed.
"The JOY of seeing side by side the
flags of the United States AMI Italy
lies not so much in realizing that the
countries of Washington and Garibaldi
10 taI IN 40 hC
ideals of the two are amalgamated in
a common cause.
"Eviva the United States! Evivl
Italia!"
The exercises about the Glribaldi
Memorial had an auspicious opening
with the presentation TO the Prince by
Stefano Miele, grand master of the
Order of the Sons of Italy, of $4,000
Ira (SS,650), a gift from the order to
the Italian charities. Forty thousand
members of the order from all over the
state were present for the occasion.
and they let themselves be heard in
roars of approval Mr. Miele then in
troduced Mayor Mitchell. who in turn
introduced the Prince. The last TO ad-
dress the great throng. also in Italian.
was the Marquis di Borsarelli, under
secretary for foreign affairs.
Enthusiasm of a different type, but
equally as pronounced greeted the
Prince and the other members of the
Italian War Mission when they entered
the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Astor
at noon to attend the luncheon of the
Merchants Association.

enthusiasm to the Latin temperament"
he remarked with laugh as he took
his seatSbeside William Fellowes Nor
gan. president of the associatio
The luncheon. in spirit and atend-
ance, was a duplicate of those which
marked the visits of the French and
British missions. The cordiality, sym
