any made by a European nation. The
title OF Protector OF Oriental Christians
was conferred upon the French kings
by the Pope, on account OF Frances ac-
tivity in the Crusades. Small states
were founded by French mobiles who
took part in the Crusades; there were,
in fact, foyr French states in Syria at
that time cf the Crusades, the kingdom
OF jerusalem the county OF Odessa and
the principalities or counties OF Anti
och and Tripoli. For many years the
Porte bestowed the name Frank upon
all Europeans, whatever was their na-
tionality. IL was TO these conditions
that NJ. Pchon referred when he spoke
OF the French claim as based upon his
toric conventions"
But France has modern claim upon
Turkey. Perhaps gully half OF The
g eat national debt OF the ottoman En-
pire before the beginning OF the war, a
debt estimated at si,0o0,O0,000 represent
ed money advanced by French 1nan-
ciers, Excepting the pilgrimage road 10
Medina, the Hedlaz line, all the. rail-
roads OF Syria had been financed by the
French. France furnished the capital
to establish most OF the successful in
dustrles. notably the Lebanon SILK fac
tories, and the products OF these indus
tries We're sent TO France.
II is these very evident and important
considerations that make the future OF
Syria matter Of such deep concern TO

ing factors in the Near East question
and the reasons for her strong insist
ence upon a paramount interest In this
portion Of the Turkish Empire.

Now the intrigue is checked and The
bands are broken, and what we are 60
Ing to provide Is a new cement TO hold
the people together. They have mol
been accustomed TO being independent
They must now be Independent.
am sure that you recognize the
principle as l do-that 1t is not our
privilege TO say what sort OF a govern
ment they should set up. But we are
friends OF those people and It Is our
duty as their friends to see to II that
some kind Of protection is thrown
around them something supplied
which will hold them together.
There is only one thing that holds
nations together. If you exclude force,
and that Is friendship and good will.
The only thing that binds men together
is friendship, and by the same token
the only thing that binds nations to-
gether is friendship. Therefore our task
at Paris is to organize the friendship
Of the world-to see to II that all the
moral forces that make for right and
Justice and liberty are united and are
given vital organization to which the
peoples Of the world will readily and
gladly respond.
In other words, our task is no less
colossal than this: To set up a new
international psychology; to have a new
real atmosphere. | am happy TO say
that, In my dealings with the dlstin-
guished gentlemen who lead your ma
tlon, and those who lead France and
England, / feel that atmosphere gath
ering, that desire to do justice, that de-
sire to establish friendllness, that de-
sire to make peace rest upon right; and
with this common purpose no obstacles
need be formidable.
Obstacle TO BE Overcome.
The only use of@an obstacle Is TO be
overcome. All that an obstacle does
with brave men is not to frighten them
but TO challenge them. So that IL ought
10 be our pride TO overcome everything
that stands in the way.
We know that there cannot be an
other balance Of power. That has been
tried and found wanting, for the best
OF all reasons that Il does not stay bal
anced inside itself, and a weight which
does not hold together cannot consti-
tute a make-welght In the affairs Of
men.
Therefore there must be something
for the balance Of power,
and l am happy to find everywhere
in the air Of these great nations the
that that thing must be a
united league Of nations.
What men once considered theoretl- !
ral and idealistic turns out TO be prac-
tlcal and necessary. We stand at the |
opening Of a new age in which a new
will, / am confident, lift |

Presiden! Speaks TO Italian Press

In reply to an address Of welcome
by the representatives OF the Italian
Press Association, in which the neces-
city for a league Of nations was en-
phasized, President Wilson said:
Let me thank you, gentlemen, very
warmly for this stirring address, be-
cause IL goes straight to my heart as
well as TO my understanding. If had
known that this important delegation
was coming to see me / would have
tried to say something worthy Of the
occasion. As it is, can only say that
my purpose is certainly expressed in
that paper, and believe that the pur-
pose Of those associates at Paris Is a
common purpose. Justice and right are
big things. And in these circumstances

WORKED UP

From the Smyrna Times.
Public opinion In Smyrna is getting
much worked up over the report that
the p. m. northbOund and .. m.
southbound train connections on
Smyrna branch are TO be discontinued.
Smyrna people have enjoyed this SER
Vice too long TO see IL abandoned. A
train north between the $50 a. m. and
$40 p. m. Is needed. There really
ought TO be an express around one
o'clock but the o'clock accommoda-
tion Is better than nothing. As to the
s p. m. southbound, the report comes
as a decided inconvenience 10 shoppers,
who want as full day as possible and
use this last train which leaves Broad
street, Philadelphia at 6 o'clock Just
after the big department stores close.
All through Smyrna there Is indignation
felt over any attempt to cut off these
trains and no doubt the railroad COM
pany Will be appealed to by the Smyrna
community.

For the first time in history. our postal department

Text of WILSON'S ADDRESS In Rome

ROME, Jan. 4.-President Wilson de-
liyered the following address In the
Chamber OF Deputies yesterday:
Your Majesty and Mr.. President OF
the Chamber:
You are bestowing upon me an un-
precedented honor, which | accent be-
cause ] believe that II Is extended to
me as the representative of the great
people for whom | speak. And | am
going TO take this first opportunity to
say how entirely the heart OF the
American people has been with the
great people OF Italy.
We have seemed no doubt Indifferent
at times to look from a great distance,
but our hearts have never been far
away. All sorts OF ties have long bound
the people OF our America to the peO-
pie OF Italy, and when the people OF the
United states, knowing this people,
have witnessed It's sufferlngs, its sacri-
tlces, its heroic actions upon the bat
tletleld and Its heroic endurance at
hOme-lts steadfast endurance at home
touching us more nearly to the quick
even than It's heroic action on the bat
tlefleld-we have been bound by new

Led by Same Principe.
Then back Of It all, and through Il
all, running like the golden thread that
woVe II together, was our knowledge
sthat the people OF Italy had gone into
this war for the same exalted prn-
ciple OF right and Justice that moved
our own people. And so / welcome this
opportunity Of conveying to you the
heartfelt greetings Of the people of the
United States.
But we cannot stand In the shadow
OF this war without knowing there are
things which are I'm some senses more
dlfflcult than those we have undertaken.
because, while IL Is easy 10 speak OF
right and Justice. II is sometimes diff
flcult to work them out in practice,
and there will be required a purity OF
motives and disinterestedness OF object
which the world has never witnessed
before in the councils Of nations.
II Is for that reason that it seems
to me you will forgive me II | lay some
of the elements of the new situation be- I
fore you for a moment The distin- |
fact Of this war Is that great |
empires have gone to pieces. And the |
OF those empires are that |
they held different peoples reluctantly /
together under the coercion Of force !
and the guidance Of intrigue.
The great dinlculty among such States
as those of the Balkans has been that /
they were always accessible to secret
influence; that they were always being
penetrated by intrigue Of some sort
Or another; that north Of them lay dis
