ITALIAN VETERANS

BOND CAMPAIGN

Emphasizing the cordial relations
existing between Italy and the United
States, President Wilson extended the
right hand of democratic fellowship
to the contingent of visiting Italian
veterans at the White House yester-
day afternoon.
The President had been informed
that each soldier had been in the
trenches and that all had been
wounded.
Perhaps the most impressive fea-
ture of the reception was it's sims
plicity. There was an entire absence
of restraint. The battle-scarred war
riors were quick to catch the spirit
of the occasion.
Shake Hands With President.
The President shook hands with
each soldier and chatted with num-
Der of them. The visiting soldiers
were introduced by the Italian am
bassador. who was attended by his
staff in their uniforms.

women were present. The Italian
ambassador later said that the occa-
sion was in every way enjoyable and
in many respects Instructive.
Il would like 20 say that Italy will
fight with even more enthusiasm
when she is informed of the gracious
manner in which your President has
received her veteran soldiers" the
ambassador said at the close of the
reception.
An officer attached to Camp Hum
phreys told the ambassador that the
contingent was the finest he had ever
seen.
You are very kind to say So" re-
turned Italy's envoy.

Rush on the Banks.

Yesterday the people of Washing
ton gave their answer to the APP
peal-gave it not by words. but by
actions. From the time the banks
opened their doors until closing time
last night there was grand rush
to the bond counters. and such an
outpouring of the savings of the
people of Washington as has never
before been seen.
Not only at the banks was the
spirit of the people shown, but at
members of the committee and scores
of volunteer assistants were work.
ing top speed completing arrange
ments for the canvass. there was am
pie evidence that the hearts and wills
OF the population of the capital were
behind the movement. All through
the day and until close to midnight
last night men and women came to
tender their services for whatever
they might be able to do and to add
words OF commentator and encour-
agement to the committee.
Before midnight every detail of the
great task of organization for the
canvass had been completed, thanks
and several score prominent business and
professional men. who have worked
almost without rest since the canvass
was decided on. Every one of the
team captains has been given a chart
of the territory he is to cover. and in
addition to this each was given the
exact number of homes in their re-
sDect!ve territories. Many of the cap
tains visited their sections yesterday
afternoon and Subdivided the houses
in them among their team members.

Will Visit Every Home.

Every home will be visited today,
irrespective of whether the heads of
the families have already purchased
bonds. This is deemed necessary be-
cause of the fact that so many of the
homes are now sheltering govern
ment war workers, who will wish to
buy bonds.
Commencing tomorrow. the local
committee will make public the total
bond sales in Washington to date and
will announce the sales daily during
the remainder of the campaign. De-
spite the abandonment of all rallies
and meetings to stimulate interest in
the loan the sales. although not def
nitely known. are said to be consid-
erably more than anticipated. 1t was
unoffcialiy stated last night that ac-
cording to reports made by the banks
in Washington the sales up to closing
time last night would exceed $780,
100000. trifie less than one-third of
the total amount this city is expected
to raise.

Hopes to Surpass Prior Record.

Undaunted by the unfortunate turn
of circumstances which has compelled
it to abandon practically all of its
plans for the week, the women's COM
mittee is going ahead with more de-
termination and persistency than ever
to equal, if not surpass, the record
established by it during the third loan
campaign in Washington, when bonds
amounting to nearly s5.O00.000 were
sold as a result Of its individual activ-
tiles.
Although the committee is not in
position to furnish definite figures re-
garding it's sales during the past week,
it announced last night that it's efforts
have thus far met with a most liberal
response. While the total subscrip-
tons are not as large as was antici-
pated, a great number of individual
sales have been made and the indica-
lions are that the record of the last
loan will be more than equaled before
the smoke of battle has cleared away
at the end of the great drive.

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Jan. 30. - Technical conditions governed todays stock market, circular price changes being largely traceable to the constant shift ing of trades commitments Over night developments exerted little in- fluence, the outcome of teh United States Steel meeting evidently having been discounted.
 Rails were dull and uncertain of trend and news regarding transporta- tion conditions was again mixed Traffic is moving more easily at east ern points, but elsewhere the problems seem to have yielded none of it's seri- ous aspects.
 Traders were interested in reports that the administration would oppose the proposed amendment to the senate bill to take the railroads out of fed eral control a year after the war. A loan by bankers to the Baltimore & Ohio road pointed to the pressing needs of the railroads pending enac,- ment of legislation by congress.
 Announcement of an agreement be- tween American and British marine interests strengthened the shipping group and metals were responsive to an increase of private consumption.

We have encouraged it in every possible way We realize what important industry it has become and in what great measure it is responsible for the great prosperity which prevails in the valley now
 We think it would be serious mistake to curta that industry now. On the contrary think that it might be still extended. We believe the price of long staple cotton will always be remuneratve and certainly, there is place in the world where crop can be more certain. But there somewhere be limit to acreage that can be handled by avail able labor.

QU|ETUS |SPUT |. LIN P0Lk GROUND

C. Y. Manner, of Oakland, Cal, own CT of the property known as the Polk Street ball grounds, solved the problem of Sunday baseball for the city com mission, when he sent a communication 10 the city fathers. protesting against the city granting permission to anyone to use his property as a baseball ground without his written consent. This communication, read before the city commissioners at their regular weekly meeting yesterday morning. knocked the last prop from under the plans of the devotees of the national sport in their effort to restore Sunday baseball on the downtown grounds.
 This does not mean, however, that Sunday baseball in Phoenix is entirely a thing of the past, for the city con- missioners informed the baseball rep resentatives that it would not only grant permission for Sunday games at Eastlake park, but would go further in it's effort to assist the players by erect ing a club room for the baseball boys adjoining the park diamond. Although the representatives of the game, ap- bearing efore the commission made it apparent that they did not believe they could get the crowds at Eastlake park, they did not entirely spurn the offer or the use of the park.
 While the Polk street grounds mat ter was under discussion, B. T. Gillett announced that he was presenting two petitions embracing about 400 sigma lures protesting against Sunday games on the Polk street grounds. Rev. w. $. Buchanan, pastor of the Christian church also spoke against granting the permission sought.
 In view of the fact that the commits sion felt it had no right to grant per- mission for the use of private property Tor any purpose over the protest of the owner of such property. no action was taken and Sunday baseball on the Polk Street grounds thereby died a natural death.
