ITALIANS LIKE U. 5. WELCOME.
Returning Mission Tells OF Unbeliey-
able Scenes OF Tribute by Ameri-
cans.

Warm appreciation of the welcome
given by Americans to the members
OF the Italian mission who visited the
United States vas expressed by Mar
quis Luigi B%orsarelli, under secretary
Of state for foreign affairs and mem
Der of the mission, in reporting some
of the incidents of that visit on his
return home. Addressing his con-
stituency, the marquis said:
THE scenes which was beheld were
beyond all belief and all imagining.
| could not describe to you the de-
lirious multitudes. the hundreds of
thousands of people crowding the
streets. and the Italian voices. ming
ling with those of the Americans and
greeting us with acclamations and
cheers for Italy.
Hearts could not refrain from emo
ton. nor eyes from tears. on seeing
the flag of the As stars and the tri-
color of Italy intertwined as symbols
of common loyalty of sentiments. We
heard orators make great speeches;
we heard the distinguished mayors of
beautiful cities. and other famous
men. say such great things about Italy,
and utter such words. as shall re-
main for ever engraved on u mem
cries.
America is contemplating with adj
miration the brave sons of Italy. and
observing how the men. to whom the
world was only willing to concede the
fame of artists. of singers and of
poets. are fighting like lions on the
Alps and on the sea. America sees
that Italy the frivolous. the light. the
inconstant, the incapable of effort. is
in reality virile and capable OF long
sustained efforts: she sees that Italy
is calm and firm as the rocks of her
mountains.
Let the men from beyond the seas
come to our shores. Let those worthy
men come too. who are representatives
of American benevolence. and who are
getting ready to bring a welcome aid
for the Red Cross, and may they be
welcome.
They will find a people that is
fighting without being discouraged. q
people that knows how to endure
without showing the impatience OF
the weak. a people hat can suffer
without complaining. strong and
steady because OF the righteousness o.
its cause. and trusting in the star o.
its destiny. Such is the real Italy"

SWEDEN
Does Not Know How to Meet Situation
Exposed by Secretary Lansing.

Sweden's official reticence concern
ing the exposures made by Secretary
Lansing of the part her diplomatic
agents have taken in transmitting Ger
man messages is regarded at Wash
ington largely as a cloak to i've what
must necessarily be an embarrassing
internal reform.
Officials of the state department
Wednesday made no effort to ON
ceal the fact that the United States
is disposed to accept the unofficial
statement of regret and indignation
from Admiral Lindman, minister of
foreign affairs of Stockholm, as a true
indication of the Swedish peoples at
titude.
Until official admission of a meas
ure of guilt is made, however, and
promises of greater care in the future
are given it appears improbable that
Swedish diplomatic representatives
will be afforded the same facilities for
the transmission of their dispatches.

CLOSE THE NORTH SEA,
HEM IN U-B0ATS

The U-boat remains Germany's one
hope Of winning the war-the out
standing. alarming ena to the
cause of civilization.
There is danger that by minimizing
the gravity of this peril, to sustain
the courage of the British people.
Lloyd George and his colleagues may
oFershoot the mark and implant a
false feeling of confidence in England
and the United States.
That fear evidently lies in the mind
OF the London correspondent of the
New York Times, who says that fig
ures compiled by him and published
IN his newspaper of July 10. showing
an average monthly loss Of 600. 600
tons by submarines constitute the only
real Information on the subject that
has reached the public for six months.
lie now says, however. that since that
time there has been a reduction in the
losses of nearly 100. 600 tons a month.
The total figures for the first six
months. including raider losses. were
slightly in excess of 5000. 900 tons; of
these 6S per cent were British. % per
cent neutral and IL per cent allied.
This correspondent points out that

GOVERNOR PRESENT
True Prohibitionists Cannot Help But
Favor Such Measure, He Tells
German Farmers
"WET" ELEMENT NOT
so MOIST AFTER ALL
Mass Meeting Held Last Light at
Which Governor Frazier Was
In Attendance

Attorney General William LANCER
addressing about a hundred German
farmers in German at mass meeting
held last night, declared in favor of a
bone-dry law for North Dakota, which
would bar all shipments of liquor ex-
cept for medical or sacramental pur-
poses.
'.All true prohibitionists cannot help
but favor a bone-dry law if they are
sincere" said the attorney general.
II am going to enforce every law re-
gardless of what it is, who it hits and
especially the prohibition laws. l real
ize was elected to the Office of attor-
ney general of this state in spite of the
opposition of the German alliance and
other kindred societies for reason that
would enforce the laws. Personally,
certain members of the enforcement
league are in favor of law Of that
kind and which should unquestiOnably
appeal to all true pr0hibitiOnists.'
Wants School Laws Enforced.
The attorney general touched on the
laws relating to schools, stating that
in some instances children, as near
as twenty per cent, were not in school,
and that he was looking forward to
the day when every child, whether
English, German, Russian or Indian
would be getting an education and that
he thought the governor and. the state
superintendent Of instruction would
back him up in this view pertaining
to enforcement of the state school
laws.
Frazier Reticent on Issues.
, Governor Lynn J. Frazier attended
the meeting .and preceded Attorney
General Langer. The governor did not
discuss political issues, simply thank
ing the organization for extending him
an invitation to be present. AS he
moved down the aisle to leave the
hall, Governor Frazier shook hands
with several of his old acquaintances.
Following the address of the attor-
ney general, the farmers opened bat
terry of applause, lauding the attorney
for his stand.
1--WE don't want half-cocked prohibi-
tion," stated prominent German
farmer and member of this legisla
tive assembly.
Jacob Rothshiller, one Of the prom
inent German farmers living near
presided over the meeting.
