 GENOA, sunday, Jan. 5.-Speaking today at tho monumont of Mazzini President Wilson said:
 'I am yer much moved, sir, to he in the presence of this monument. on the other side of the water we have studied the life Of MaZZini with almost as much pride as if we shared in the glory of his history. and l am very glad to acdnow ledge that his spirit has been handed down 10 us of q later generation on l both sides of the water.
 Tt is delightful 10 me 10 find that l am taking some part in accomplish i ing the realization of the ideals to i,Which his life and thought were de- voted. It is with a spirit of Venerauon, sir, and with a spirit, 1 hope of emula- ton, that 1 stand in the presence ot thls monument and bring my greetings and i the greetings of America. with our homage, to the great MaZZini.'
 Accepting Mazzini's Works
 In accepting the gift of MazZini's works from the municipality, the presi- dent said
 Mir Mayor, it is with many feelings of a very deep sort perhaps too deep for adequate expression, that l find myself in Genoa, which is a natural shrine for Americans. The connections of America with Genoa are SC many and so significant that in some sense. it may be said that we drew our life ann beginnings from this city
 You can realize, therefore, sir, with what emotion 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 Amer ican to be a citizen of Genoa. and shall always count it among the most delightful associations of my life that you should have conferred this honor upon me and, in taking d way this beau tiful edition of the works Of MaZzini, ! hope that I shall derive inspiration from this volume, as l have already e. rived guidance from the principles which MaZZini so eloquently expressed.
 Tt is delightful to feel how the voice of one people speaks to another through the mouths of men. who by some gift 0f God, have been lifted above the com mon level anj, therefore. these words of your prophet and leader will. l hope. be deeply planted in the hearts of my fellow countrymen. There is already planted in these hearts. sir very deep , and genuine affection for the great Italian people, and the thoughts of my own nation turn constantly. as we read our history. to this delightful and dis tinguished city.
 ; May l not thank you. sir. for myself and for Mrs. Wilson and for my daugh- ter, of the very gracious welcome you have accorded US, and express my pride . and pleasure
 At Columbus Monument Speaking at the monument of Coum ;. bus, the president said: Standing in front of this monument. sir, fully rec ognlze the significance of what you have said Columbus did do a service to mankind in discovering America ? and it is Americas pleasure and Amer [ icas pride that she has been able tC show that it was a service to mankind l to open that great continent to settle . ment. the settlement of free people of people who because they are free . desire to see other peoples free. and tC 3 share their liberty with the people O. . the world It is for this reason. nc . doubt. besides his fine spirit of adven- 1 ture, that Columbus will always be re. 1 membered aEd honored, not only her, l in the land of his birth. but throughou . the world, as the man who led the wal { to the fields of freedom. which plante; s with great seed. have now sprung uI . to the modification of the world

 MILAN, Sunday. Jan. 5.-In speakin: to q large delegation which welcomed
 him to Milan at-the royal palace today
 President Wilson said:
 T cannot tell you how much compli
 mented | a. bv your coming in persol
 to give we this greeting. l have neve
 known such q greeting as the people O
 Milan have -iven me on the streets. ]
 has brought tears to my eyes. becaus e 1 know that it comes from their hearts t., tr.fr f1 Il, ! things that I feel toward them. and J know that it is an impulse of thei
 friendship toward the nation I repre-
 sent as well as a gracious welcome { e myself I want to reecho the hope tha Q we may all work together for a grea - peace, as distinguished from a mea e peace May I suggest that this is ,r great deal in my thoughts.
 The world is not going to consls e now of great empires. It is going | l. consist for the most part of small na e tions, apparently, and the only thin
 that can bind small nations together . the knowledge that each wants to trea Y the others fairly. That is the onl IT. thing The world has already show r. that it's progress is industrial. You can ,f not trade with peonle whom you do nc
 trust and who do not trust you. - Confidence is the basis of every $. thing tha: we must do, and it is a dc l. lightfu feeling that these ideals ai P. sustained by the people of Italy. and h ii. a wonderful body of people such as yo is have in the great city of Milan. It ,- with a sense of added cncouragemeI ot and strength that I return to Paris 1t take part in the council that will deter 1I mine the items of the peace. I th1l
 you with all my heart"
 From La Scala Balcony l. From the balcony of La Scala, il ,e president spoke briefly as follows: r. T wish I could take you all to son l. place where a similar body of my fe n low countrymen could show their hea l. toward you as yOu have shown n 10 your heart toward them, because u ts heart of 4fnerica has gone out to Il ,e heart of Italy. We have been watchf ,4 of your heroic struggle and of your h' q roic suffering, and it has been our jC I'd | in these recent days to he associate lv with you in the victory which has lii ,' erated Italv and the world.
