ITALIANS WILL MI

rRepubiIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

ROME, Saturday, Dec. 13. -The chamber of deputies tonight voted ap- proval of the reply to the speech from the throne after rejecting, by a vote of 2S9 to PA, an amendment offered by the socialists providing for the imme- diate recognition of the Russian soviet government and the resumption Of re- lations with Russia.
 Premier Nitti said he desired, first, to dispose of a question which was causing national concern and to deny the report that the government was about to conclude new international agreements creating fresh responsi- bilities. The premier's reference was to a report that the meeting of Pre- miers Lloyd George and Clemenceau and Foreign Minister Scialoia in Lon don had considered military conven- ton.
 Answering various speakers who presented motions for the convocakion of a constituent assembly, Premier Nitti said: But we consider the par liament as a permanent constituent assembly. There is no necessity to convoke one purposely. The Italian constitution has been changed con- stantly according to necessity The
 
 modify by enactment any article of the constitution What you now wish is to change article five, which nominally gives the king the right to declare war. But do you really believe that the last war was declared without the assent of the parliament?'
 At this the socialists. '.yes. against the will of parliamnt-" There was great confusion for a few moments.
 'The law granting full powers to the cabinet" Premier Nitti continued, twas passed by the chamber on May P, 1915. It was equivalent to decla- ration of war"
 Tho entire socialist group shouted:
 ''No, no. The cabnet already had concluded an alliance with the en- tente"
 We buy wheat at 130 lire per quin- tai and sell it for 50 lire,'' he said, thus losing S.000,00O to 9,000.000 lire daily The greatest curse to us would be to lose our credit abroad, because then we l would be irreparably lost Russia and Hungary, despite their financial iso- lation, were able to exist because theil internal production was relatively sui ficient to feed their people. I urge tho socialists to be frank with the publi, and explain the necessity of not en. dangering our relations with the allies especially the United States, whici : alone can supply us with the greates } part of what we need. and in fact, W, can not receive immediate help excep si from the American continent, ans Above all, from the United States. 1l "The idea that the Anglo-Americar Doc is interested in isolating Russis

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Clay Gould,

won the third, which carried with it the
title. On Tuesday Gould won four
match, Thursday, he added one more,
while. Kinsella took three, leaving the
standing sets to in the play for the
best out of 10.
Kinsella opened with the service this
afternoon, but two chases were called
before point was scored, and Gould
went over to the service end of the
court. He won the first game, but Kin
selia eyened it up soon after deuce had
ceen called on net by Gould and
fine shot to the dedans
Gould had lead Of 40-love in the
third game, but deuce was called three
times before he won it. Two shots to
the dedans were Kinsellas' only points
in tho next three games, which Gould
won.
Then Kinsella took two games rather
easily with two grille shots and some
fine placements. Gould. however, rail-
lied and took the ninth game and set
at 6-3.
After winning the first two games Of
the second set, Gould seemed to let up
in his game, and Kinsella, realizing
that 1t was now or never, started some
magnificent work, driving with great
speed and accuracy, Gould bided his
time. letting Kinsella do all the
forcing. and though the professional
took this set, he had shot his bolt.
What proved to be the final set was
begun with love game for Gould.
Kinsella took the next, but Gould ran
out four in a row for commanding
lead. He had the match point in the
seventh game, but pinsella won out
after a deuce had been called when
Gould Melted, and then lost chase.
Deuce was called three times in the
final game. Twice Gould saved himself
by making the dedans, and then took
the advantage on a beautifully placed
"nickY1 that Kinsella could not handle
The last shot was a neat placement
that the fast firing Kinsella could not
reach
The largest gallery of the week
turned out for the final play, all the
seats being occupied with many spec

There was, however, no such outpour-
