Town Gathering Tonight.

Every one in the town of Berlin is urged to be present at the meeting in the town hall this evening at o'clock to decide on the welcome home for the boys. C. F. Lewis of the war bu- reau will preside at the opening of the meeting and will announce the Ob- jectS of the meeting. All the service men of the town are asked to be pres ent to take part in the discussion of the evening, as everything which will be undertaken is for them. Any per son who has an idea for a welcome home celebration come to the meeting ready to give it.
 A committee will be chosen tonight at the meeting to make arrangements for the celebration and to bring them to a conclusion. It is important that everyone interested in a celebration for the boys come ready with some good ideas for a celebration. Several plans have been put forth by various residents, but the entire voice Of the residents is wanted in this matter and this evening is the time to come and voice opinions.
 Some towns have made the welcome home celebration a matter of days but it is thought that one day could be set aside for such a time. If the people of the town wish to have a day for Cele- bration they are asked to be there and give their opinion.

Sanitary Conditions.

Editors Pleasantville Press
Sanitary conditions are getting
worse. The one and only remedy to
keep a Town or City free from sick
ness and disease is Sewerage. This
applies to our Hustling and Progress
i've City of Pleasantville. Ever since
P~leasantville has been on the map,
improvements of all kinds have taken
place until today it is an u%p-to-date
City, but with a bad and serious draw
back in the lack of Sewerage. Those
in power. elected by the people, should
not permit this unsanitary condition to
exist in our midst. It's a shame and
an outrage TO see the sickness and
deaths that might be avoided if we
had Sewerage. It's got to come, so
why moi let the present generation
have the advantage Of a clean. sanitary
city. Citizens and taxpayers should
get together and insist that City Coun-
ell put the City of P~leasantville in a
clean and sanitary condition with an
up-to-date Sewerage system for our
growing city of Pleasantville.

Rome. Premier Orlando, in ad-
dressing the crowd which greeted him
here, said: at is not time for fine
language. In the face of the world,
which is judging us, we must have
firmness and a calm, serene con-
science. There are two questions. The
first is whether the government and
the Italian delegates have faithfully
interpreted the thoughts and will of
the Italian people," The response was
thunderous shouts of Yes" 81 never
doubted it," continued the premier,
"for 1 knew the soul of my people, but
confirmation was required. The first
question is answered; Rome is conse-
Grating our work.
"The second question is to estimate
the gravity of the situation. But L
do not ask you for an immediate reply.
Let us not consider what best or most
desirable can happen to our Italy,
whose just and praiseworthy attitude
has provoked the admiration of two
worlds. (Cheers and cries Long live
America! Down with Wilson !")
"We must show that we have taken
the worst into consideration. After
four years of unspeakable privations
and sacrifices, we find ourselves
faced with fresh sacrifices and priva-
tons. At this moment Italy is ready
and greater than ever-greater than
in May, 1915.
"The decision must be a well-consid-
cred n Food supplies are failing
us, but Italy has known hunger, has
eve known dishonor. 1 do not con-
ceal from you the danger of this crit
ical hour. (Cries of 1--WE will face any
thing.')
81 am with you," continued the
premier, "a brother among brothers,
and also a chief who asks to obey and
follow the will of the people. 1t may
be that we shall find ourselves alone,
but Italy must be united and have a
single will. Italy will nOtsperish."
At the close of his address the pre-
mier was given an ovation. General
Diaz and Signor Barzilai of the peace
delegation then spoke and were
cheered by the soldiers and sailors.
