CHEERS FOR AMERICA BY
ITALIAN PARLIAMENT
~ Assnciatad Press. !

Rome, Tuesday, Feb. IL. -
Enthusiastic applause and cheers for
America met the declaration of
Premier Orlando at the opening of
parliament today that the war situa-
ton was growing better, due to help
from the United States replacing
Russia.
Premier Orlando reviewed the
Versailles conference and pointed out
that so far as Italy was concerned
the continuation Of the war was no
longer a matter Of choice, but
necessity.
Regarding Italy's aims the premier
declared that they were unimperial-
istic.
"AI she wants." Premier Orlando
declared, "and no less, and she can
wish for no more than the security
of her national boundaries by land
and sea and also the fulhllment Of
her national unity"

ST. VALENTINE.

One Of The Forums florist friends
mas come across the legend OF St
Valentine, and sends it in.
Long ago, so runs the story, there
were three friends, Pietro, Luigi and
Valentine. Pietri was a great
preacher and Luigi @ wonderful
singer. but valentine was only a
gardener. But in his heart was the
love Of mankind and a desire to
make the world happier. His flow
ters found their way to the bedsides
Of the sick. When he became too old
20 tend his garden longer, he wrote
love messages to so with the flow
ers.
So many were the friends he made
that his name became the symbol OF
love, while his two friends were FOR
gotten with their deaths.
/ Whether that is the true history OF
st Valentine or not, Is unimpOrtant,
It. at least, typihes the spirit OF
Valentines day which comes tomor-
row.
Unfortunately the romantic lovers
fhave been allowed to monopolize
Valentines day. There is nothing to
prevent a man sending a valentine to
his own wife. She might appreciate
AZ more five years after marriage
than a year before it Try her with

Uncle Sam wants eyes for the

In other words he wants field
glasses and binoculars. He will pay
b nominal rental for them, and re-
turn them after the war as a souvenir

1t sounds like a trivial need, but
consider how many lives might be
saved If the number Of field glasses

Binoculars might be the pair to spot

Mr., WILSON REsTATEs OUR
CASE.

President Wilson's address to
congress was more a matter Of
Excepting the record clear than of
sthrowing any new light on the war
aims of the Allies.
The Allies had set forth their war
aims. Germany and Austria had
answered them. 1t was up to the
President to reply.
His reply was a clear, logical and
frnpersonal restatement Of terms,
Couched in the best Wilsonian style.
1t was less notable as a state
paper than it's predecessor, only be
cause it was largely repetition. 1t
threw no new light on Americas
purposes, because there was none
left 10 throw. The President threw
his cardason the table a month ago.
All he could do was to call attention
to them once more.
His remarks indicated that peace
with Austria might be a possibility
II the Austrian government were its
own master, and dared follow its own
course.
The address but emphasizes the
fact that all the great powers are
thinking Of peace. Peace negotia-
tions, might almost be said to be un-
der way. They are not being held
around q table, but are being con-
Quoted with the world as an
audience. by means Of the cable, the
wireless and the newspapers.
Meanwhile, of course, the best way
to help the peace talk along is to
speed up the war machine another
notch. Any sign Of slackening the
speed in that respect, would only en-
