WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Prince of Udine, head of the Italian war mis- sion, on the floor of the senate today delivered a message to the American people in the name of King Victor Elm manuel, welcoming the entrance of the United States into the war as the final moral justification of the cause for which the allies are fighting. The mes sage breathed confidence in ultimate victory and stressed the necessity of destroying the prestige of perverted German science and philosophy.
 Italy" said the prince, wants the safety of her boundaries and her coast, and she wants to secure herself against new aggTessiOns. But Italy has not been an never will be an element of discord in Europe, and as she Willed her own free national existence at the cost of any sacrifice. so she will contribute with all her strength. to the free exist ence and free development to other na tions.''
 Tine prince said Europe had been plunged into the war without any justifying motives, perhaps without any motives at all beyond the will of a small oligarchy."
 Of the entrance of the United States after the violent offenses against right had become clear and the American flag had been insulted, he said:
 You bring US the sacred recognition of our right, you bring us moral con- fidence and the conviction that our cause is holy and that the great free democracy shares our feeling, our spirit and our hopes.'
 The financial and economic merlbers of Italian mission this afternoon dis cussed with Secretary McAdoo and oth- CTS at the treasury department the merging of the present intricate Italian purchasing system in this country into the general central committee proposed for all the allies
 A second loan of S100, 900, eco is to be made to Italy for June and announce ment is expected shortly. Of the origin al s100,000. 900 about S60, ,000, 600 already has been expended here and the balance is expected to be used in the next few days.

Twill approve the action of any one who refuses to register for conscrip- tlon. The pamphlet says the ques- tion of selective draft with its impli- cations for the future is more impor- tant than the question of defeat or victory in the war; and that the draft as outlined in the new law lis abhor- rent to any true conception of democ- racy.'
 The present administration and congress were "elected presumably because they were expected to keep IS out of war" the document asserts. and when war was declared there was no referendum nor was there a refer endum as to the selective draft. the government remembering perhaps that the referendum in Australia had resulted in a two to one vote against conscription.

PETROGRAD (via London), June l. Maxim Gorky, the Russian author. publishes a sensational account of an attempt by D. Rizow, the Bulgarian minister at Berlin, to inveigle him into clandestine negotiations for a separate peace.

CLASSY FIELD FOR
 TENNIS TOURNEY Entry List Will Close To- night-Hard Fight Is
 Expected
ELMER PONDER

The entries for the tennis center championship will close this afternoon and the drawings will be held tonight so that the first matches will be played Monday afternoon.
 A few dark horses have already en- tered the tournament and will no doubt spring a surprise in the open ing matches.
 Richard Martensen, who comes from Phillip Exter of Connecticut, is ex- pected to give some of the local fla vorites close run for the cham pionship. He has only been in town two weeks and was working out on the Y. M. c. A. courts yesterday att ernoon. He is a southpaw.
 Paul Penny, who was playing such good game a year ago. entered the tourney yesterday afternoon and if he can regain his old time form is ex- pected to give the best of them a hard match.
 Nose Jacobs will be in the fight and always worries his opponent before lie is disposed of Nose will likely reach fast pace now and if he can maintain his game of yesterday afternoon he will be most difficult man to dis pose of.
 Hewitt Smith. Robertson, Davis, Brandon and Wolforrd have not been seen in action and it is difficult to tell what they will do. Anyhow there promises to be some close matches.

BARONS ID JOURNEY FTER CAME TODAY
Locals Must Face Either Knowlson or Bacon in
 Final Game

The Barons will try to make it two straight over the Eookouts today at Rick wood. Following the engagement this afternoon the Barons pack their grips and journey up to Nashville for three game series with Roy Ellam's squirting Vols, starting Sunday afternoon.
 Moley was undecided last night who he would send against the Lookouts this afternoon. He will send one of his best righthanders to the slab, it is also cer- tain. Kid Elberfeld is also undecided who he will work today. Either Knowl- son or Bacon will draw the twirling duties, however.
 The Barons played good ball yesterday despite the crippled lineup. Bill South worth, the Baron gardener, who was in jured several weeks ago in making d spectacular catch, worked out yesterday and will be in the lineup next Wednes- day when the Barons return home to com bat the Lookouts again.
 The present lineup is working well, but Moley is anxious to have the speedy little gardener back in the game. Webb is playing the keystone brilliantly in the ab- sence of Danny Clark, who will be out of the game indefinitely due to a strained side Red Smith is also performing well in the right garden but hise presence is needed occasionally behind the bat.

Soon after the Triton club was fired and the Anniston club in the Georgia Alabama league hired by the Triton association, Dothan negotiated for his release and bought him outright.

 Lewis favorite weapon in action is the flying headlock, one of the most dan gerous holds used in the mat game. Fre- b erg's followers are confident of his vic- tory provided he can evade the deadly hold of the famed kentuckian. On the other hand, many of his followers be- lieve he will "out-wind" Lewis and thus secure a victory.
 The match promises to be one of the best seen in Birmingham this year. Both Freberg and Lewis are men of great strength and an interesting battle is ex- pected in this respect if in no other.
 The bout is scheduled to start at S:30 o'clock. Promoter Parks will arrange for a fast and interesting preliminary to pre- cede the main bout E. J. Parry will again referee.
