NO PRESIDENT EVER
DREW SUCH CROWDS
As WILSON IN ITALY
Rain Drenches Party in
Genoa; One Roar of
Vivas in Milan.

Milan, Jan 6.-(By the Associated
Press. president Wilson journeyed
from Rome to Milan, today, stopping at
Genoa en- route. There he was greeted
by hundreds of thousands who acclaim
cd him in the most estravaghnt terms,
and even attempted to kiss his hand or
clothing as he passed thru the dense
crowds, surging and huffeting about him.
Mr. Wilson's visit of three hours III
Genoa was marred by tropical down
pour of rain which drenehed the presi-
dent and all his party. The streets
ran rivers and a gale snapped the flag
staffs. Decorations along the streets
were soaked and torn and flapped in the
wind. Nevertheless, the president car
ried out his full program, including a
visit TO the monuments of Columbus and
Mazzini and the city hall, where he was
given reception.
Whatever arrangements might have
been made to receive sthe president were
dissolved on his arrival. with the city
being lashed by the binding rain squau.
All the members Of the official party
except Mr. Wilson and his wife were
compelled to scramble for themselves
thru the troop-lined streets and make
the best way possible back to the off
cial train. The secret service men, seek
ing to protect the president, rejected
motor cars and carriages which were
provided by the local committee, but
somehow managed to get thru the pro-
gram and back to the train without mis-
hap.
Honors Columbus With Wreath.
Before leaving Genoa, President VIII
son laid wreath at the statue of
Columbus, and. standing bareheaded in
the driving rain, made a short address.
President Wilson characterized Genoa
as sanctuary for America. He was
deeply touched. he said, BY the gift pre-
sented to him of the works of Mazzini
and copies of autographs of Columbus.
The students of the city presented the
president with students cap, which
the president told them he would be
greatly honored in wearing.
Jams Close Milan Cathedral.
The demonstration in Milan was of
the same character as that in Genoa.
1T seemed as il all the inhabitants of
the surrounding countryside had jammed

DIR, EMMETT J. SCOTT GOES TO
HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

regular meeting of the board Of trustees
of Howard University, DR.. Emmett j.
Scott, secretary Of Tuskegee Institute
Alabama, was elected secretary-treas'
urer of the University. The new official
enters actively upon his duties july l.
During the period of the war DR.
Scott has been serving most capably as
Special Assistant to the Secretary OF
War, advising in matters affecting col
ored troops and civilians, and accom-
plished much good in adjusting the man
fold problems growing out OF the rela'
lions of the 'colored people to the war
Department and the activities designed
to aid the nation to win the great con
flict for liberty and democracy. Through
his tactful handling of countless deli
cate problems and the many satls1ac'
tory results achieved, he has won the
confidence and esteem Of the $4,000 col
ored Americans he was chosen to repre-
sent.
The selection of DR.. Scott now as the
executive officer Of Howard University
is regarded as a most fortunate one IN
all respects, and is viewed with great
enthusiasm by the friends of the school,
white as well as colored. 1t is felt that
the ACQUISITION of DR.. Scott as mem
Ter of the staff of the leading lnstltu'
ticn Of the land for the higher and pro-
fessional training Of the Nego brings
to it's SUPPORT new and powerful lnfiu-
ence for advancement along both cduca-
t;onal and material lines. For nearly

ministrative force at Tuskegee lnstl-
tute, and up to the time OF the deatn Oh
i+s ;llnstrious founder he was Or.

.,d confidential assistant. The ripe ex-
nerience and broad acqualntanceship
gained by DR.. Scott by reason or ms
long connection with Tuskegee inst!

s+.nd him in good stead in looking after
the heavy responsibilities that Will De
entrusted to his keeping at this lmPor,

leaders of the race are to be developed
His new post is deemed mer1teo pro,
motion. as it affords him larger hei.,
for usefulness to the whole people, anu
he has been the recipient since Iuesoay

THE PERISCOPE.
Cali Of tho Soul.

The call Of the soul is expressed in
manner that is seldom seen, in a short
poem written by Professor Pearson, vice
president of the Georgia State Indus
trial College, and reproduced in a recent
issue of the Southwestern Christian Adj
vocate. The expression is worthy of
the full page devoted to displaying it
by the Southwestern, and cannot be too
generally read and remembered. Here
it is, with the title:
Voice Of the Negro Soldier.
When l return from foreign shade and
shore,
My native land with joy behond once
more,
If have been soldier true AMI. brave,
Risked limb and life my country dear
to save.
Yea, nations all from autocratic greed
That they be wholly free in state and
creed
While Father, Mother made and con-
served food,
And war bonds bought in loyal, cheer
full mood
will not ask for houses, favors, praise,
AS we resume the toll and peace of
former days,
But that you lift the cursed racial ban,
Grant me the rights of any other man.
