WILSON MAKES
TWO PEECHES
! AT TURIN TODAY
Accepts Freedom of City
and Responds to Address r
by Mayor. II

Turin, Jan. TN accepting the
freedom of the city Of Turin, Presi-
dent Wilson said:
''Mr. Mayor: Both on the streets Of
this interesting city and here you
have made me feel at home. am
very much honored that this great
city should have conferred this high
distinction upon me, and take the
liberty Of interpreting your action,
ment to myself, to whom you ascribe
virtues and powers which I feel do
not possess, but as a. tribute to the
people whom represent.
The people Of the United States
were reluctant to take part in the
war, not because they doubted the
justice Of it, but because it was the
tradition Of the Americans to play no
part in the politics Of other continents;
but as the struggle grew from stage
to stage they were more and more
moved by the conviction that it was
not an European struggle. that it was
world and the liberation Of humanity.
and with that conviction 1t was i'm
possible that they should withhold
their hands.
"Their hearts have been with you
from the start, and then when the
time of their conviction came they
threw every resource of men and
money and enthusiasm into the strug-
gle. It has been a happy circumstance
that America should thus be associat-
ed with Italy. Our ties had been many
and intimate before the war, and now
they constitute a pledge. of friendship
purpose which must delight both peo-
ples'' 80.

BIG LAND DEAL

The land will make an ideal stock

Such land deals are continually be-

The Wilhelmstrasse from Unter den

packed full Of. government sympa-

for two hours. 1t appears to be the
government S strategy to prevent the
Spartacans demonstrating before the
government offices.
Hundreds of youths and other ci-
villains in the Spartacan ranks are
carrying rifles. Fist fighting has oc-
Cured at the corner of the Wilhelm
strasse and Inter den Linden where
the Bolshevik demonstrators took
away their opponents standards.
Spartacan soldiers took a stand in
open order in front of the Hotel Ad-
lon with their rifles ready, but there
was no firing.
The Spartacan marchers with the
exception of the workmen from GER
tain factories comprise the scum Of
the city and four-fifths of the whole
number are bedraggled women and
young girls.
The American flag has been hoist

The opinion seems general that on
