 ROME, Jan. 3.-In parliament house a joint reception was given President Wilson by members of the senate and the chamber of deputies. The function was an impressive one. The large and distinguished gathering gave the pres ident an ovation. The president spoke as follows
 You are bestowing upon me an un- precedented honor. which I accept be- cause believe that it is extended to me as the representative of the great peo- pie for whom I speak. And l am go ing to take this first opportunity to say how seriously the heart of the American people has been with the great people of Italy.

AnC the characteristics of those empires ar' that they held different peoples reluc tantly together under the coercion O 7 force and the guidance of intrigue. Coercion and Intrigue Checked The great difficulty among sue
 states as those of the Balkans ha been that they were always accessihl to secret influences;. and they wer . always being penetrated by intrigu 1. of some sort or another; that mort of them lay disturbed population populations which were held togethe 2 not by history and friendship. bJ 0 by the coercion force of military powe z Now the intrigue is checked an
