CHEER AMERICA

Rome. Feb. 14.-Enthusiastic ap-
plause and cheers for America met
the declaration Of Premier Orlando
at the opening Of the parliament that
the war situation was growing bet
ter. due to the help from the United
States replacing Russia.
Premier Orlando reviewed the
Versailles conference and pointed out
SO far as Italy was concerned the
continuation Of the war was no long
er q matter of choice. but of neces-
sity. He said this fact Is understood
by all patriotic Italians. who are
now willing to wage war to the bitter
end. Regarding Italy's aims the pre-
mier declared that they were unim-
perialistic.
"All she wants." Premier Orlando
declared. land no less. and she can
wish for no more, than the security
OF her national boundaries by land
and sea and also the fulfillment of
her national unity.
1T Is materially seen how Italy's
citizens view the war question by
the fact that the unfinished national
loan already. has brought In three
and a half billion lire, and It will
within two weeks be double any
revious loan--all this money despite
our defeat last fall. Italians are de-
termined to fight until victory"
