FAREWELL ADDRESS OF
ITALY'S SECRETARY OF
AVIATION TO THE
AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

A modest but very impressive cere-
rony took place shortly ago in Rome,
a. the general commissariat for avia-
tion. The American soldiers who were
training as pilots at the aviation
school of Foggia and whose courses
were interrupted owing to the happy
ending of the war, were passing
through Rome on their way to Amer
lea via France, and the Hon. Eugenio
Chiesa, secretary of aviation, desired
to receive them in order to wish them
bon voyage. The daring young men
assembled in a large room of the COM
nlissariat, and the Hon. Chiesa ad-
dressed them as follows:
Il am happy and sad at the same
time in seeing you leave US. Happy,
because you go back to your own
homes with a halo of triumph, with
the satisfaction that your country has
made victory for right and civilization
sure. Sad, because I am going to lose
you whom | was accustomed to look
upon as my adopted sons and who
were bound to us by such ties of com
radeship that seemed they would new
er end. You now return to your great
country, to which Italy owes so much
for the help given in this war: men,
money, material. This brotherly as
sis5ance from America, Italy will new
CT forget and not you shall be the las
to have a claim to our gratitude, you
who offered your daring youth to de-
fend in the skies of Italy the cause
Of justice. Of this gratitude let the
war service ribbon of our army be
the sincere testimony, the ribbon
which the government authorizes you
TO wear. You also in returning -
Your country, should carry with you
a grateful memory Of Italy, who has
loved you and has been proud of you
as Of her own sons.
Il am too old to hope to see the
fruits Of the new times which now be-
gin; you will see and you will gather
them. Good bye, bon voyage, good
luck"
These words, pronounced by the
Hen. Chiesa, with trembling voice,
we're received with a long and sincere
applause. In leaving them the Hon,
Chiesa shook hands with every one Of
the American aviators.

Mr.. AND MRS HOOVER.
FOR INSTANCE.
(By J. E. Jones'

Several weeks ago a customer in,
quired the price of eggs at the best
grocery store in Washington. Gone
dollar and ten cents a Dozen" replied
the clerk. "Whoww was the response.
you had better not let Hoover know
about that ooh, but Mr.. Hoover
buys these eggs here" returned the
clerk. Good Al hens eggs were sell,
ire in the regular markets at around
eighty cents at the time, which is I'M
questionably a pretty good price for
eggs-but they were not "sterile eggs,
guaranteed absolutely fresh laid" the
kind Hoover preferred for his own ia
bic; and the kind many others demand
regularly, as evidenced by the fact
that the same store has difficulty in
getting enough of this brand of eggs
to supply their trade-and that the
trade has the extravagant egg habit
v hich adds two cents or home to the
price of each egg. Mr.. Hoover, the
apostle of thrift in food, bought these
expensive eggs.
At about the same time Mrs. Hoover
told an audience of Washington's most
intelligent women to buy chickens and
turkeys for their tables, in place of
other meats, urging that it was not
practical to ship dressed fowl to Ell
rope, and that the other meats should
be sent across the ocean to the SOL
diers. The food she advised for her
hearers was the more expensive kind,
Mrs. Hoover has a reputation quite in
dividual from that of her husband as
an apostle Of thrift in the kitchen.
On the face of the stories both Mr..
and Mrs. Hoover might be accused Of
having expensive views, but either
enc Of them could doubtless presens
sound and convincing arguments that
would resolve conclusions in favor of
their personal positions concerning
eggs, chickens and turkeys.

people stands behind him. For this
reason, future peace will have a Viii
sOnian character, because it shall be
Wilsonian or it shall not be at ALL"
The Hon. Fillipo Turati, another
great leader of the socialist party, al
so said in the same session:
president Wilson wanted to de-
stroy al lautocracies but not the peo-
pies. Now that the ancient regimes
have disappeared, are we going to ap-
ply President Wilson's principles, OF
are we going to interpret them trying
to find out the intentions of their au-
thor? Any doubt, any hesitation
would be dangerous. President Will
sor's word is democratic and humani
tartan and, although outside of collec-
tivism which is our aspiration ana
which is bound to come by historical
fatalism, by evolution, we completely
accept the ideas which have inspired
President Wilson's principles"

WILSONIAN PEACE IN THE
ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

The Hon. Enrico Ferri, member of
the Italian parliament and one of the
leading figures in Italian politics and
of the socialist party, in an address
delivered by him in the chamber of
deputies. commenting on the commun-
ications of the Italian government to
that body concerning the problems of
pease, said in part:
"The chamber of deputies, by the
different shades Of enthusiasm shown
in cheering the names of our allies
yesterday, has clearly demonstrated
its impression concerning America,
President Wilson and their enormous
influence in the solution of the war
The famous fourteen points of Presi-
dent Wilson constitute the basis on
which peace shall be founded. Six Of
these points, most particularly the
last point which outlines the league
of nations, cover general problems of
rights.
But the decisive creation and the
acceptance Of league of nations is
the abolition Of standing armies, the
abolition of military CONSUMPTION, pre-
serving only a volunteer force for the
maintenance of order 1t will be also
necessary to place the manufacturing
Of arms, for the maintenance of public
order, in the hands of the government,
thus preventing the great arms plants
from poisoning public opinion with

dent Wilson's message, revealed a fu.

the burden that rests upon the shout

existed in our nation at various times
since August 1, 1914. In conscq uencc

NONESSENTIAL PUBLICATIONS
DYING NATURAL DEATHS.

During the past week it was an
bounced that the Florida Record CT
Tallahassee had been sold by it's editor
and owner, Co. Thomas j. Appleyard
to Milton A. Smith, publisher of the
Tallahassee Daily Democrat, and the
two papers in future will be operated
as one.
S. J. Triplett has just sold his st.
Cloud Herald to Claud F. Johnston,
the two papers there being consoli-
dated.
A few weeks ago the Ocala Daily
Banner ceased publication, leaving the
daily field in that territory to the
Oca!a Evening Star.
Two Key West papers recently were
merged.
Throughout the United States and
Canada similar consultations have
been effected during the past few
months. In fact, hardly a week passes
without some Of the leading dailies of
the country, IN cities overcrowded with
newspapers, either selling to their
competitors or consolidating with
them.
In some instances the nonessential
publications have simply died natural
deaths. being unable to sell their ad-
vertislng and circulation accounts and

Men entruste with the grave respon-
sibility of managing the business af-
fairs are now called on to decide
whether they will continue their activ-
tiles as usual or wait to see if there is
decline in prices. No doubt there
will be a decline in some directions.
The public question now is hoW best
to proceed for the general welfare. It
seems clear that a gradual decline
would be preferable toa perpendicular
fall in prices. It should be remember
ed that prices of labor and materials
are all relative. When once adjusted
the amount is not of great importance.
There are two things to do. One is
to wait; the other is to go on with
business activity. If everybody waits
there no doubt will be a perpendicu-
lar fall with attending want, distress
and calamity. If people will go ahead
with business, while there may be a
gradual decline, it can be borne with
the least inconvenience. The return to
normal business life will not be ac-
complished by worrying over what
p1ay happen, but can be accomplished
by doing the tasks at hand.
