Orlando in reply to the statement OF
President Wilson.
The Temps In an editorial says:
We are confronted with a serious act.
committed in cold blood against US, and
We will need to summon all our dignity
to reply to the cruel provocation.
President Wilson Is not America We
appeal to the American people"
The Messa0gero accuses President
Wilson Of disloyaIty in seeking glory
for himself at the expense of Italy. The
Corriere dc la Sierra Of Milan says:
Can President Wilson. who repeat
eddy has allowed the magma charta Of
his fourteen points TO be torn to pieces ;
who suffered freedom OF the seas to
slumber at the bottom OF the ocean .
who violated and allowed to be violated
the rights of nationalities all over
Europe: who calmly watches the letting
loose Of the herecst imperialistic cupid
tiles In the colonial domains and in
Asia who has yet to make the mean
ing and the object of his attitude In the
face of the atrocities and crimes COM
mitted against the whole of the people
In Russia who under pressure OF a
Brutality professed egoism disavowed the
very spirit OF his work by causing tho
Monroe Doctrine to be inscribed among
the statutes OF the League OF Nations
and who, finally. was unwilling 20 admit
tho equality OF races and placed the
Japanese in an inferior class Of human
!ty--can he. after all this, still cherish
the Illusion OF finding in the waters OF
the Adriatic the justice lost at PARISH
The Mcssaooero calls President Will
sons act as treason" and expressed the
hope that the American people will re-
fuse to share responsibility In tho action
OF their President. who poses as q die
tator to Europe"
The Popolo Romano says: ut is our
own fault, being gentlemen. We acted
as though we were dealing with gentle
men. We refused TO bargain before
entering the Peace Conference. Il being
repugnant to our feelings to bargain
blood shed for territory due az for coal,
wheat and credit have been deceived
and It Is our own fault"
ITALY replies as one man to her King
and her Government who demanded with
answering tenacity their sacred and I'M
pregnablc national rights"
After describing the Premier's reply as
proud and thrilling document, the Cor
riere dTtdlta says:
THE American people cannot be In
agreement with man who so haughtiiy
arrogates TO himself the right to decide
the fate OF Europe against the desires
Of its Governments and IT'S peoples"
The Idea Noriondlt declares that not
one Italian would dare to sign a peace
as proposed by President Wilson. The
Italia considers that President Wilson
has perhaps irremediabiy jeopardized
the peace of the world.
ITALY says the Epoca, fought deg
perate war and sustained heavy sac
rifces for the purest ideals, the rcaliza-
ton Of which Is jeopardiEed by the un-
reasonable obstinacy OF President Will
SON"
The newspapers announce patriotic
societies are urging the italian people
to address an appeal to the American
people and the American Senate and
House OF Representatives.

Germany does not move him.
One question about which there Is
much speculate here Is whether Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Premier Gle
menceau had the Information that the
President is said to have received that
Premier Orlando was preparing to at
tack him in. Italy, In a statement al
ready sent there, This information,
impaired on Wednesday evening by
one Of the closest friends Of the Presi-
dent. seems to explain his decision to
force the fighting. His patience was
exhausted and his indignation aroused.
The President has done such things
before in Washington.
The Italians deny positively that
Premier Orlando did any such thing as
is alleged, and they point out as evil
dence of their good faith that the con-
ference still was in progress and was
going over the new proposal Of Pre-
mier Lloyd George when the Wilson
bomb exploded.
See Club for Japanese.
Very unfortunate from the viewpoint
OF the welfare Of Japanese-American
relations IN the Japanese opinion Of
President Wilson's appeal 10 the Italian
people. which happened to appear on tho
same day as an announcement that
10000 American troops were being sent
to tho Philippines. China and Panama.

this but the suggestion Ii inevitable

the Japanese people 1t was a matter OF
honor and prestige before the world.
Their pride, already hurt by the re-
lection OF the racial equality clause.
could hardly be expected 10 endure with
equanimity any further rebuffs.
The Japanese people, It was ex-
planned, are demanding OF their dele
gates that they insist that Kiao-chau be
turned over to Japan. At Japanese
headquarters II was said to-day that
should President Wilson fling into the
Japanese camp a bombshell similar to

1t might prove a blessing in disguise

clamor that Is being directed against

realizes that were he to take such a
step against Japan he would run a Sc
rious risk Of destroying at n blow the
good feeling that has been built UP
through years Of labor and patience by
preceding American administrators
Although no one In the Japanese mis-
sion would say so to-day the japanese
correspondents have cabied to their
newspapers that the Japanese delegates
stand ready to take the same step as
the Italians, and go home II their claims
are denied. although they would be ioath
TO do so because it would strengthen

comment on the Peace Conference situa-
tion. Against II we appeal to the COM
mon sense OF the American people. asking
them whether they consider the attitude
OF their President Il just and straight
forward one.
President Wilson forgot his principles
regarding the freedom OF the seas and
the equality OF races. and distributed
German. Hungarian. Rumanlan and Bull
garian territories among the French. Bo-
hemians and Jugo- Slavs. remembering
his principles only TO snatch from Italy
the fruits OF her sacrifices and her vic
tory, We are tranquil. trusting in Jus
tice and right and in the knowledge
that a large majority OF the American
people do not share the opinions OF Pres

There was great excitement among

On the Death of Little Alfred
McLane


His departure was so sudden
and the shock was so great that
we did not realize for a while that
our little friend had gone out of
our lives forever. He was so full
OF life, and he loved life so, that
it is indeed hard to understand
why it was taken. His enthusi-
aSm over nature in all its forms
was wonderful to behold in one so
young, His love of the woods, Of
the flowers, the trees, and his wild
delight over the water made up
his existence.
Just the day before his passing
he spent several hours in the wa
ter, playing and dancing with
other children in the waves. The
tide was low and he could wade
the greater part of the swimming
area around the bath house. His
faithful little sister guarded him,
taught him how to dive and float,
and never for moment relaxed
her vigil. But on the fatal day,
having been gotten ready for the
trip to the bath house, and before
his little sister had returned from
an errand to accompany him, his
yearning for the water overcame
his usual obedience, and he ran
away alone. The faithful little
sister followed quickly, and fran
tically sought him up and down
the pier, but the tragic event had
already occurred.
Knowing Alfred's love for the
water, his parents and sisters kept
strict watch lest he should slip
away alone, but Notwithstanding
all the watchful care the little fell
low succeeded in getting away
unobserved. Just how he was ov-
ercome by the water is not known,
but it is conjectured that he leap
ed from the bath house steps and
finding the water deeper than IT.
was the day before, he could not
touch bottom and smothered in
the surf. Even when his body
was found floating under the bath
house there were strong hopes
that life was not extinct, but the
most dilligent efforts of skilled
physicians proved of no avail.
Messages and letters from
friends away, and deep and sin
cere expressions of sympathy
from many friends and neighbors
at home, softened Che anguish OF
the parents, but time alone can
cure the wound in the parental
heart and dim the absence OF a
childish face in the family circle.
Grown people as well as young
were Alfred's friends and play
mates. He was child man and
as such very interesting to his
elders. Among his child friends
he was supreme.
Idolized by his parents and sis
ters, petted by his elders, loved by
all his little associates and friends,
we can only remember him as;
A little child, a timber elf,
Singing, dancing to itself,
A fairy thing with red round
cheeks,
That always finds and never
seeks,
Made such a vision to the
sight, :,
AS filed his playmates' eyes with
light. -Playmates.
