brilliant sunlight bringing out the
soft tints of the Roman buildings.
The carriages passed the Bath of Do

city's ancient glory. Force ruled the
world when they were built, and here
was the President, hailed as the
peacemaker, who would Danish the
rule of might and in that sense was
acclaimed ms the deliverer.
Picturesque also was the ceremony
when before the old capitol Prince
Colonna, the Mayor of Rome, came
out surrounded by twenty halberdiers
in fifteenth century garb to greet the
President. The Presidents carriage
was preceded by 100 of the Royal
Guards, magnificent six footers, In
striking uniform with black plumes.

breeches and black boots.
Overhead three big diriglbles floated
and three huge Capronis performed
their evolutions bringing into sharp
relief the contrast of the past and the
present. The King was in the plain

Of his popularity, but all eyes were
directed upon President Wilson as
he received the address OF Prince
Colonna.
Most Striking Dem onstration.
Perhaps the most striking demon
stration was that which occurred last
evening In the Piazza Venetla before
the Victor Emmanuel monument,
where a great crowd waited for hours,
demanding in most insistent way
that President Wilson should make a
speech to them as he was the peoples
guest.
The huge crowd was held by two
lines of soldiers and the authorities
planned that the President should
take another route, but when he heard
how the people had waited for hours
to see him the President insisted on
going that way and even wanted to
make a speech.
The square presented an extraor.

the King came down the narrow street
from the Quirinal. Ambassador Page,
VINO accompanied them, seemed to be
worried, and the carriages, guarded
BY mounted troops, drove fast, the
President waving his hat to the
throng as he passed. The carriages
did not stop.
The Parliament galleries were
thronged when the party arrived, al
most every person of note in Rome be-
ing there, including the Queen and
Mrs. Wilson. The Socialists made a
noisy demonstration when the King
and President Wilson appeared on the
rostrum. 4 very large number OF
those present seemed to understand
the Presidents speech, In which he
significantly stressed the colossal task
facing the peace conference. There
was rlotous applause for league OF
nations as substitute for n balance
Of power, especially from the Social
lists.
The King was an interested listener
sitting erect and soldierly in his gra!
campaign Uniform, with no sign about
him of royalty. 1t was President
Wilson's first appearance before an!
Parliament, and the greeting he re
ceived from the representatives of thu
italian people will be one of his mos
pleasant memories of Italy.

II had occasion Mt the Parliament
this afternoon to speak Of the strong
sympathy that had sprung up between
the United States and Italy during the
terrible years OF the war. but perhaps
here 1 can speak more intimately and
say how sincerely the people of the
United States had admired your own

ton with the armies OF Italy, and the
gracious and generous and serving as
ISOLATION OF her Majesty, the Queen.
1T has been a matter of pride with
us that 50 many Italians, 50 many men
or italian origin, were In our own
armies and associated with their
brethren In Italy itself in the great en-.
terprise OF freedom. These are no small
matters, and they complete that process
of the welding together of the sympa-
thies of nations which has been going
on 50 long between our peoples.
The Italians in the United States have
excited particular degree of admira-
ton. They, l believe are the only peo-
pie OF given nationality who have been
careful to organize themselves to 500
that their compatriots coming to Amer
lea were from month to month and year

most suitable to their previous habits
No other nationality has taken such
pains as that. and In serving their fell
low countrymen they have served the
United States. because these people
have found places where they would be
most useful and would most immedi.
ately earn their own living and add Ia
ule prosperity of the country itself.
I'm every way we have been happy In
our association at home ana abroad
with the people of this great State.

In pursuance Of their national policies
the French, British and Italians, IL Is
pointed out. are ready and willing mu-
tually to support each others claims
against Germany so far as they do not
clash This results in n virtual compact
for the three nations to support each
other and to work together in advocating
that the American people follow a ma

Icy. 1t has been suggested that Presi-
dent Wilson demand that Germany pay
the American war bill, and arguments

President Wilson's most recent speeches
In which he emphasizes the paramount
need OF harmony, are regarded as en-
couraging in the sense that they fore
cast a gradual dissolution of the inter

is that President Wilson'S plan OF inter-
