Attorney Pasquale DeCicco. who is very active in local and national Italian American fraternal activ- ities wrote President Roosevelt, urg- ing him not to favor the extension of the present embargo to include oils and other goods not mentioned in the present neutrality act. Attorney De Cicco in writing the president interprets the sentiment of the American citizens of Italian extraction who do not wish the United States to serve European in- terestS.
 Waterbury, Connecticut,
 December 30, 1885 Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, White House,
 Washington, D. c.
 My dear Mir. President:
 | earnestly urge you to use your presidential influence against any change in the pres ent neutrality law which would include oil and other items in the present list of prohibited articles. Oil and raw materials are vitally necessary to a people not fortunate enough to have some of their own. To refuse them the right to buy these necessities at our own price for cash and on our own shores, is an unfriendly act.
 Our country can i'll afford to take sides in this controversy to which we are not party and over which merits we cannot nor do we want to be the judge. Considering the nature and the makeup of our people, taking sides is going to make good part of our citizens very unhap- py. This land of ours can re- main the land of the happy, the brave, and the free so long as we remain friendly to our friends and mind our own bus mess.
 Respectfully yours,
 PASQUALE DE CICCO

PEOPLE APPEAL
 FOR PROTECTION

Hilo, T. H., Dec. 3I-(U.P)--City officials and plantation owners ra- dioed an appeal to Governor W. B. Poindexter to-day for federal funds to muster 1000 men to protect the city and it's water supply. The threat cam1 from smoking lava flows creeping down the fire-scarred slopes of Mauna Loa volcano. Fifty civic oficials, national guard officers and plantation operators met in emergency session and outlined the plan by which they hope to avert widespread destruction if the vol- cano's eruption continues.
 The first step would be an at- tempt to construct a crude road for hauling men and supplies to the mountainside in event the lava flow gets worse, or for use in the event of future eruptions. Large scale flrefighting thus would be made possible. Workmen could construct dams, dig ditches and blast the molten streams with dynamite.

POPPY MEMORIES.

Honor the dead and serve the liv-
ing" is the message which the memoir
ial peoples will bring to the people of
Eureka on Poppy Day May 25th
Men who served in France have an
indelible picture of the peoples in their

ory of their comrades whom they left

adopted as its memorial flower and the
custom adopted of wearing the flower
on the Saturday before Memorial Day
in tribute to the war dead.
The distribution Of the peoples on
Poppy Day was placed by the Legion
in the hands of the American Legion
Auxiliary. Through their volunteer eff
forts they recall for all America The
inspiring services of the men who died
in the poppy flecked fields of France
and Belgium. They also raise funds
for the Legion and Auxiliary welfare
work among those who were not called
upon to die but to sacrifice strength
and health in the nations defence. the
disabled veterans, and for the families
Of the dead and disabled.
The message of the poppy is Honor
the dead and serve the living for each
wearer of memorial flower makes some
contribution to aid the wars living vic
tins. Every Legionnaire, of course,
every veteran and every patriotic citi-
zeen should have poppy in his button
hole on Saturday, May 25th
