PRINCE UDINE
GIVES MESSAGE
TO AMERICANS
Head of Italian War Com
mission Speaks in U. S.
Senate
By associated Press

Washington, May 81. - Prince
Udine, head of the Italian mission,
delivered in the Senate chamber to-
day message from King Victor EN-
manuel to the American people. Re-
splendently garbed in uniforms of
gold and blue, with green shoulder
sashes, the mission was enthusiastic
ally received.
The union of effort and purpose of
Italy and the United States was en-
phasized by the Prince, who spoke
in part as follows:
In this hour of danger, in which
military absolutism is threatening ev-
cry one there are nations that have
forgotten old and new competitions
and have united to defeat this men
ace to the common safety. We are
in a more fortunate position. Be-
tween the United States of America
and Italy there has never been any
cause of conflict This new and clos
er union means for us a greater bond
of sympathy and solidarity, added to
those which already linked us.
This long friendship without
strife, this union without mistrust,
this cloudless future are enhanced by
the fact that both our peoples are at
war to defend the same ideals of
humanity and justice.
Worthy Message
THE message of your President, as
our sovereign has said, is worthy, by
the nobility of its conceptions and
the dignity of its form, to rank with
the most inspiring pages in the his
tory of ancient and immortal Rome.
1t was greeted with the enthusiasm
of faith, when it made clear the OBJ
jects of the war and defined the aims
of American action.
> by proclaiming that right is more
precious than peace; that autocratic
governments, supported by the force
of arms, are menace to civilization; !;
by affirming the necessity of guaran-
teeing the safety of the worlds dem
ocracies; by proclaiming the right of
small nations to live and to prosper,
America has now, through the action
of her President, acquired a title of
merit which history will never for
get"

HE HEARS HORN OF HIS AUTO

Il lost fourteen dollars down along

complained rather seedy looking
individual to Lieutenant Page at the
police station last evening. "Of

with flourish of his hands, "if my
car comes along l will be all right.
l can get back to my home in Lewis
town, but If 1t don't I guess l will
have to pawn my watch"
On closer scrutiny the lieutenant
decided If he owned a watch, not to
speak of an automobile, it was in the
dim past. Nevertheless. he insisted he
owned a fine automobile but other
fellows were driving it about town.
The lieutenant advised him to go to
the cellar and sleep it off, he would
feel better in the morning.
A half-hour later the visitor tiptoed
up the stairs and declared he had
heard the horn of his automobile. and
was going out to look for his party.
Police officials tried to dissuade him
but he evidently felt confident they

in few minutes.
The stranger walked to the front
OF the police station and gazed up and
down the street, watching for that
lost auto. Five minutes later a large
touring car came sweeping to the
curb and the door was opened for
his entrance.
Before departing. however, he went
in to tell the lieutenant everything
was all right and his car was wait
ing. The lieutenant couldn't quite
understand, but decided to remember
the number Of the machine. When he
looked at the registry of auto Ii
censes the name and the address the
stranger had given were found to be
correct.
Police officials are still pondering

SOCIALISTS CRY
OUT AGAINST THE
CONSUMPTION ACT
Bring in Constitution aSMeans
of Evading Their
Duty

New York, May 81. - The con-
scription act was characterized to-
day as both immoral and unconsti-
tutional at the First American con-
terence on Democracy and Terms of
Peace, which was again in session to-
day at Madison Square with Socialists
ana pacl1sts in attendance. The
speaker was Daniel Kiefer, of Gin
cinnati, who was introduced after
DR.. Judah l.. Magnes, one of the or
ganizers of the conference, had re-
ferred to newspaper dispatches from
Washington telling of the purpose of
the Department of Justice to take
stenographic notes at peace meetings
and prosecute those who infringe the
law.
Il don't know whether this is the
KIND OF meeting the Department of
Justice means,' said Dr. Magnes,
'but If 1t is and there are stenog-
raphers here l would like to invite
them to this platform where they
may see and hear everything that
transpires. In Prussia at political
meetings the stenographers are seat
ed on the platform. These stem
ographers take notes and report
to the government. Inasmuch as we
are very rapidly becoming Prussian-
lied we should follow the Prussian
example at our meeting"
Advises Appeal
DR.. Magnes pointed out that the
organizers of the conference had re-
solved that proposed adoption of any
action contrary to the law would be
declared out of order but that they
regarded as perfectly within the law
and favored all discussions as to the
unwisdom of existing laws"
Kiefer in his address advised ap-
peal to the courts as "the first duty
of a patriotic citlzen who has been
drafted"
THE conscription act" he said,
lis both immoral and unconstitution-
al. 1t violates the prohibition
against involuntary servitude. Not
even the hair-spliJting plea can be
urged in the present case that the
thirteenth amendment does not for
bid national defense. Sending con-
scripts to Europe is not national
defense, but mixing in the quarrels
of outside nations, and if, as is sug-
gested, conscripts can be compelled
to work as farm hands, factory
hands. or in other civil occupations,
the thirteenth amendment is not
worth the paper it is written on"
