the Austria Hungarian empire. to-

Italian, French, Serbian, English and
American governments, held very
important conference at Rome for the
purpose of drafting a mutual program
whose object is to complete an under
standing relative to the freedom of
each of the oppressed nations repre-
sented. The results of this congress,
which is one of the first of it's kind,
are extremely important. Attention
to these will be called later. For the
present we shall confine ourselves to
few extracts from the speech of
Premier Orlando of Italy, which was

tives of these nations.
Turning to the Czechoslovak repre-
sentatives, DR.. Benes and DR.. Stefa-

there were twenty-seven American
pensioners. These facts were discuss
ed in the house recently when bill
increasing the pension of civil war
veterans to minimum of $25 month
was under consideration.
Veterans of the civil and Spanish
American wars entitled to pensions
from the United States are now liv-
ing in all parts Of the world, and a
bill is now pending in congress to ex-
clude pension privileges to all except
those living in the United States or its
possessions.
The total number of pensioners re-
siding in foreign countries, including
Germany and Austria Hungary, is a.

in the last fiscal year amounted to
