have studied the life OF Mazzini with
almost as much pride as If we shared
in the glory of his history. and am
very glad to acknowledge that his
spirit has been handed down to Us of
later generation on both SIDES Of
the water.
at is delightful to me to feel that
am taking some part in accom- lish-
ing the realization of the ideals to
which his life and thought were de
voted. 1t is with spirit of veneer
alton Sir. and with spirit, hope,
of emulation that stand in the
presence of this monument and bring
my greetings and the greetings of
America with our homage to the
great Mazzini."
Accepts Mazzini's Works
In accepting the gift Of Mazzini's
works from the municipality, the
President sad
"Mr Mayor, it is with many feel
ings of very deep sort, perhaps too
deep for adequate expression, that
find myself IN Genoa, which is a
natural shrine for Americans The
connections of America with Genoa
are so many and SO significant that
in some sense it may be said that we
drew our life and beginnings from
this city.
'Tou can realize, therefore, Sir.
with what emotion I receive the
honor which you have so generously
conferred upon me in the citizenship
Of this great city. In way it seems
natural for an American to be citi-
zen of Genoa and I shall always
count 1T among the most delightful
associations of my life that you
should have conferred this honor
upon me and, in taking away this
beautiful edition of the works of
Mazzini, | hope that l shall derive
inspiration from this volume, as [
already have derived guidance from
the principles which Mazzini so elo-
Quently expressed.
ut is delightful to feel how the
voice of one people speaks to an
other through the mouths of men
who have by some gift of God been
lifted above the common level and.
therefore, these words of your
prophet and leader will, l hope, be
deeply planted in the hearts of my
fellow countrymen. There is al
ready planted in those hearts, Sir,
very deep and genuine affection
for the great Italian people. and the
thoughts of my nation turn con-
stantly, as We read our history. to
this delightful and distinguished
city.
MAY I not thank you, Sir, for
myself and for Mrs. Wilson and for
my daughter for the very gracious
welcome you have accorded us. and
express my pride and pleasure"
At Columbus's Monument
In short speech at the Columbus
monument President Wilson said:
'Standing in front of this monu-
>ment, Sir, | fully recognize the sig
nliicance of what you have said.
Columbus did do service to man
kind in discovering America and it
is Americas pleasure and Americas
pride that she has been able to show
that it was a service to mankind to
open that great continent to settle
ment, the settlement of a free peo-
pie, of people because they are free
to desire to see other peoples free
and to share their liberty with the
people of the world. 1t is for this
reason no doubt, besides his fine
spirit of adventure, that Columbus
will always be remembered and hon
ored, not only here in the land of
his birth, but throughout the world.
as the man who led the way to those
fields OF freedom which, planted
with a great seed, have now sprung
up to the qualification of the world"

"the Marseillaise" and the italian and
Belgian anthems.
Mr.. Wilson wore evening clothes
Mrs. Wilson was seated at his right
IN an evening dress of black with an
enormous bouquet of red roses. the
gift OF the city Miss Margaret Wilson
was seated on her fathers left in a
dress of rich blue silk.
During the day great Caproni aero
planes whirred low over the city. while
with the fall of night extraordinarily
artistic red, white and blue and red.
white and green illuminations with
searchlights played upon the Piazza di
Scala and illuminated the carriages
OF the Presidential party down the
long crowded thoroughfares to the rail
way station.
Historic Places Viewed
The romantic places which Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson visited yesterday are the
subjects of numerous literary volume
dealing with their histories and beau
ties, and the great architects who
built them. The sculptors and paint
ers who decorated them, the princes
and rich merchants for whom they
were constructed and the brave SOL
diers who defended them are known
not only in Italy but throughout the
civilized world.
Nevertheless, as President Wilson
had only momentary glimpses of these
storehouses of treasures, so am I onlv
able to suggest the glories of crowd
ed day through which. with him, have
been taking q feeting glance.
In Rome, with its monuments and
treasures, the President, between
speeches and his visits to the pope
the King and Queen and the Premier
and Foreign Minister, got but glimpses
Of the Vatican and the QuirinaI. He
failed entirely to see the Forum, the
Colosseum and thousand other inter
esting places and things.
Visits Tomb of Columbus
Yesterday, in Genoa, the President
made his principal address in the
chamber of the fifteenth century pal
ace, which is now the Municipal Build
ing. 1t was ore of the most exquisite
chambers I ever saw, not large. but
perfect in lines, shap. and coloring
AS one American present remarked
1T was like Portals jewel box.
Then the President and his party
drove through quaint streets of splen-
did churches, palaces and residences
stopping at the house OF Columbus
and at his tomb.
The visit to Genoa was blighted by
rain, but on arrival in Milan the
President was greeted with a brilliant
southern sun. was out among the
crowd in the open square before the
many spired cathedral looking toward
the royal palace when President Will
son, responding to summons from
the vast throng, came out upon the
balcony, leaned upon the rich purple
and gold coverings of the railing and
after waving his hand in friendly
gestures, finally kissed his hands to
them. This brought loud shouts of ioy
and murmurs of qualification.
Brilliant Scene at Night
Banners of many colors and manv
ancient and modern uniforms among
the wonderful groups of buildings
made a scene which prompted Mr..
Wilson subsequently to say at the City
Hall that the impressions made upon
him to-day were impossible for him
to describe.

This might be taken significantly be-
cause over Milans walls, conspicuously
placarded in English throughout the
route of the procession, the following
posters appeared:
"To President Wilson: Italy asks
only for her natural boundaries traced
by God on the Retidhe Guile and

Another poster also in English,
read:
"To President Wilson: Istria and

Lorraine and the treaty of Frankfort

Cathedral Is Deserted

While all of Milan, with many BAN
ners and innumerable flags, massed in
the open space between the royal pal
lace and the cathedral, was calling and
capping for President Wilson to ap-
pear on the balcony services were held
IN the cathedral, but few except the
priests heard the "Te Deun" chanted
beneath the electric lighted star hang
ing above the altar. For the almost
deserted edifce seemed cavernous in
emptiness
The evening scene at the world re-
nowned Scala Opera was a striking
contrast, the people crowding the
aisles long before the appearance of
the Wilson's, who dined in the foyer of
the opera with the city's most promi
nent people Mr.. Wilson's appearance
in the royal hox with his wife and
daughter, and General Harts and Ad-
miral Grayson standing behind him,
was the signal for the entire audience
to jump TO its feet and raise an up
roar of shouts: "Viva wilson," "Viva
America!"
The performance was brief, being
only the second half of the second act
of aida, which was expressly ar
ranged in honor of Mr.. Wilson. as the
Scala Opera is not functioning this
winter.

Hearts of Nations United

This is what gives imperishablc
victory, and with that victory has
come about things that are exempl-
fed in scenes like this--the coming
together Of the hearts of nations and
the sympathy of great bodies of peo-
pie who 60 not speak the same vo-
cabulary but speak the same ideas.

pcrience and hope that you vii ac-
ccpt not only many thanks for myself
and for those who cre with me, but

From the balcony of La Scala the
President spoke briefly, as follows:
al wish could take you all to
some place where a similar body of
my fellow w-countrymen could show
their heart toward you as you have
shown me your heart toward them,
because the heart of America has
gone out to the heart of italy. We
have been watchful of your heroic
struggle and of your heroic suffer
ing, and it has been our JOY in these
receit days to be associated with you
in the victory which has liberated
Italy and liberated the world Viva

RESTRICTIONS ON HUN TRADE
 WITH AMERICA REMOVED

Washington, July 17.-Trade be- | tween the United States and Germany vii be resumed immediately, Acting announced today.
 Secretary Polk made it clear that re- sumption of trade relations with Ger many did not abrogate the trading with the enemy act nor was it to be taken as meaning that the state of war was at an end.
 All arrangements for removing re- strictions on trading with Germany have been completed so far as the American government is concerned, Vance Mccormick, chairman of the war trade board, said today.
 Mccormick, who returned from Par is with President Wilson, said there would be virtually complete freedom of trade, subject to the limit of credits which Germany might be able to es- tablish. Dyes and certain other com modities will be excepted, however, as under the terms of the peace treaty trade in these is to be controled by the reparation commission,
 Polk said blanket licenses would be issued, but that dyes, chemicals, and potash would be excepted. Control ov- CT trade in these commodities will be exercised by the reparation commis- sion under the terms of the peace treaty. A formal announcement re- garding resumption of trade relations was promised within AS hours.
 Germany will need immediately from the Unitedd States, according to department of commerce officials, large quantities of cotton, kerosene oil and increased amounts of foodstuffs and wearing apparel.
 Trade with Germany has been at a standstill virtually since August, 1914 Germany's total imports from the United States in 1913 amounted to $4O7, ,236 1000, Cotton, copper raw fur skins and kerosense oil were the prin- cipal commodities with foodstuffs; wheat being the largest of the lat tier. In that year Germany imported l$1O9, ,S96,OOO worth of cotton, 69,9S1- IOOO of copper $15 5,S27, ,000 of skins and lS12,612,0OO of kerosene oil and $39,- l243,OO of wheat. American imports from Germany consisted principally of toys potash, dyestuffs, chemicals and drugs and delicate precision instru' ments, also pottery and porcelains and lgraniteware.
 Cut of from German supplies, Am. Ierican firms began the manufacture of many commodities previously obtained lfrom Germany and legislation to pro.

Extravaganza in expenditures in public af- D fairs is almost a crime under the conditions in which the world finds itself today.

JOBS AND MEN

New York City reports that in many lines of employment there are already more jobs call ing for men than men to fill the jobs It is the same in many other cities. In the country, everybody knows, the farmers clamor- ing for help.
 The tide has turned In fact, it can hard ly be said that the industrial tide has been at low ebb all since the abnormal war demand faxed At its worst, the labor situation has been only little below normal in the winter and spring Now evidence accumulates on all sides that unemployment is rapidly disap- bearing.
 The soldiers, whose return was looked for ward to with so many misgivings, have beel absorbed without much trouble. Nearly all the men who are in earnest about wanting jobs have them, get them easily enough. The unemployed, rule are those who the work offered them, in quest for something better than they have ever had before.
 The New York unemployment committee for soldiers and sailors, like most other organizl- hons of the sort, forsees an impending scarcity of labor and is advising employers to take on men while they have chance, whether they have any immediate use for them or not.
 ''Take them and train them against future reeds" urges the committee. ''You'l need them enough.''
 It is good advice for employers everywhere. It pre-supposes business optimism But who but blind man doubts any longer that the United States is on the verge of period of un-

WINNIPEG LEARNS ITS LESSON

No sooner did the Canadian government be- gin to deal firmly with the Winnipeg strike than it broke down. It needed only the arrest of the alien agitators, the calling out of troops the dispersal of strikers parade and the peo- clamation of martial law to depose the who had usurped the government of the city
 The Winnipeg uprising so plainly an at- tempt to wrest control of the city from the lawful authorities that the original cause has almost been forgotten. It is alleged to have been demand for collective bargaining, but that is mere pretext for few employers op- pose that custom It seems to have been rath- CT enforce collective bargaining on behalf of all workmen with all employers by the Zone big union, alias the l. w. w., which brides itself on not making binding agreements and break up separate unions. The result would have been a species of tyrannical oligarchy akin to a Russian soviet.
 Now that the strike has failed the strikers who have caused so much loss, suffering and inconvenience to the public are all rushing to get their old jobs back. They should be told to go to the l. w.. w. leader for a job move to Russia where conditions prevail such as they wish to establish here

OBREGON'S CANDIDACY

Gen. Alvaro Obregon has issued the formal declaration of his candidacy for the presidency of Mexico when the national election occurs next year. With this declaration Gen. Oregon makes known the principles on which he seeks the highest office in Mexico
 Six points 90 to make up the policy he an- nounces in regard to international affairs:
 The inviolability of Mexican sovereignty
 Aboslute respect for the sovereignty and in stitutions of other peoples
 Complete recognition of all the rights leg itimatey acquired in our country in absolute conformity of our laws, by all strangers.
 To give all facilities to capital that desires to invest in Mexico for development of it's nat ural riches.
 Extension in the most ample manner, to foreigners resident in Mexico of all the guaran- tees and prerogatives Mexican law comedies them.
 A frank tendency to reinforce and widen Mexico's foreign relations
 He follows the full outline of his platform with a request that newspapers in Mexico that have no relations with those affected by the manifesto, publish it several days consecutive Iy, and also issues this appeal:
 I wish to beg the authorities and executives who adhere to this manifesto that they abstain absolutely form using their investiture to bring pressure to bear on the spirit of the citizens who shall be adverse to it, for the first thing that will exist for those who desire to call them selves my partisans, will be the most complete respect for the rights of others '' =
 It is announced that his political organization will be known as the "Liberal Club' and IS provided that no person in authority or in the military service may be an official of one of its committees or groups of directors e Advices from Mexico City have stated that probable candidates to succeed Carranza be- sides Gen. Obregon are Gen. Pablo Gonzales, Gen. Salvador Alvarado, Luis Cabera, Felix Palavicini and Aguirre Berlanga.
 Gen Obregon has recently resided in Los Angeles and has commercial interests here.
 Of course it would be improper for Ameri- cans or American newspapers to undertake to create sentiment for or against candidate for office in Mexico but this need not deter the statement that the principles announced by Gen Obregon should be pleasing to Americans, especially those who have investments in Mex ico

COAL AND NEXT WINTER

It is human to incline to the Arkansas doc Urine, "When 1t rains you can t TX the TOOL; when it shines you don t need It. z, s.4.>s-
 In the summer we don't need coal; so we rarely worry about the winter to come. Govern ment by habit is so strong with most of us that the sins of the winter most always forsot- ten in summer Pretty blossoms, the green grass, and the genial sun arouse forgiveness; we skip and gambol oR the green, glad of the escape from the frigid blasts; next winter IS something else; we should worry.
 But we always do worry. Rare have been the winters whose boreal blasts have not seen us shivering in the jaws of coal famine. Every winter we hear the same reports of inadequate production, of insufficient transportation, of storms that halt traffic, of two days supply of fuel left in the bunkers between us and utter misery. and of the imperative need for doing something.
 Every winters coal famine finds us beseech- ing some one to do something about 1t. The railroads should be rebuked, mines should be corrected, coal dealers should be investigated; 1e run round in circles Investigating exam ming, full of chills and ague and flu and meas les and pneumonia; the street cars are plague spots, the office buildings generators of di- sease, the stores close, the janitor bids us be damned and the baby has the coic.
 Spring comes, the pleasant dells are lush and bosky the boulevards are bedecked with flow CTS and diaphanous lingrie taunts departing Boreas. Do something about it9 Of course not; it $ summer now and Snap fngers at the trail of pneumonia and tuberculosis and fills of the heckled soul We forget our inquis- itions and demands for correction.
 But there is another winter coming. And it will be as full of plague as any other winter It will be as cold and as miserable, and fraught with ills if we without the means Of baking them. The wise virgins filled thelr lamps. The wise householder will fill his coal bin.
 There is always present the fear that one may find coal cheaper next winter. The times when it has happened can be easily numbered By the simplest laws of supply and demand coal will no be cheapest when it is most desired We do not have positive information, but ex- perience teaches us that coal famines argue higher prices, wherefore winter seems hardly the time to expect cheapness.
 The coal mines should be kept at full produc- ton. The product must be kept moving. The people should store fuel. After the lesson of the last two years we should for once take time by the forelock.
