Commenting upon the statement of

of the National Capital horse show.

horses for military purposes and eX-
pressed the fear that the recent IRE.
which destroyed the buildings at Bel
mont Park. might tend to Interfere
still further with the development OF
thoroughbred horses of the right type.
"OfticiaIs of the horse show have been
aware of the condition referred to by
Mai Gen Wood for sCme time" said Mr..
Hazen today I'VE feel that the Wash
ingtpn association is in "A position to
act as sort of clearing house for
the government and breeders of
thoroughbreds and we intend to aid
the government in every way possible
in securing better horses for the, i'm
mediate crisis and future needs. With
this object in view we have arranged

MAY JOIN MORSE LINE.
Talk of Potomac & Chesapeake Com
panY Uniting With New Concern.

While no meeting of the directors of
the Potomac and Chesapeake Steam
boat Company has yet been held to
consider a proposition to unite with
the talkedof new Morse line between
this city, Norfolk and New York. it is
stated a meeting will be held shortly
to consider the matter.
There is said to be considerable op-
position on the part of a number of
the stockholders of the local concern to
any such move, but as a number of
the prominent officials of the Potomac
and Chesapeake line are mentioned in
connection with the Morse interests
here, it is thought probable the con-
solidation will be effected. The steamer
Fenimore, which was brought here la st
fall to run on the route to Norfolk
is lying at Alexandria, but up to this

ting her in condition for service. The

SAYS j. S. MUST DEAL
DIRECTLY WITH ITALY
Rome Cabinet Minister Points Out
Possible Advantages of Ameri-
can Loans.

BY the Associated Press
ROME. via Paris. April 14-'Amer-
ica must negotiate directly with Italy
concerning loans" was the statement
made to the Associated Press today by
Signor Scialoia, minister of the Italian
cabinet without portfolio, and promi-
aent authority on international law.
"America's entrance into the war;" he
said, was greeted with such enthus-
asm i" italy as to indicate that the re-
lattons between our country and
America will become ever closer. assuming
the chara cter of an intimate friendship.
1t will be to the reciprocal advantage
of each, and may open for the United
States Il new European market among
Italy's &c 100000 inhabitants and our
still virgin soil for American indus
tries and commerce.
Good Time for Start
The present moment offers a good
occasion for initiating financial rela-
tions looking to the development of in
dustrial, commercial and maritime con-
nections. and Washington in deciding
on loans to be granted to the allies for
the continuation of the war should not
let the opportunity escape to negotiate
directly with Italy. America would thus
establish a basis for the subsequent
development of the larger entrance OF
the United States into commercial and
industrial relations with Italy. The
credit given to Italy would not mean
drawing the money from America, be
cause it would be used only fer pay
ments in the United States for Ameri-
can products which Italy needs.
