HUMANITY FIRST IS PRESIDENTS
VIEW IN SPEECH AT NEW YORK
New York—President Wilson — the
man^on whom fthe eyes of the world
are'turned because of the international
situation — Tuesday reviewed the At
lantic fleet in the Hudson river and at
a luncheon tendered to him on shore by
the City of New York told a distin
guished gathering of navy officers,
army officers and civilians what the
country and its navy stood for. The
great battleships that lay in the river,
he said, were “engines to promote the
interests of humanity.’’
“The inspiring thing about Amer
ica,’’ the President asserted, “is that
she asks nothing for herself except
what'she has'a right,to ask for human
ity itself. LWe want no nation's prop
erty; we wish to question no nation's
honor; we wish to stand selfishly in
the way of the development of no na
tion. . . It is not pretension on our
part to say that we are privileged to
stand for what every nation would like
to stand for and speaking for those
things which all humanity most de
sire.’’
The spirit which brooded over the
river, said the President, was “just a
solemn evidence that the force of
America is the force of moral princi
ple, that there is not anything else she
loves and that there is not anything
else for which she will contend.”
The President took occasion in his
speech to pay tribute to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, who sat beside him.
Although the day was damp and
chilly, with occasional downpours of
rain, the weather in no away abated
the enthusiasm with which New York
greeted the head of the nation. In
the forenoon he reviewed a land parade
of 5000 sailors and marines from the
fleet’s 16 battleships, and from the
moment he set foot on shore until
after the luncheon he returned to the
Mayflower to review the fleet, his
progress through the streets was a con
tinuous ovation, remarked upon by
those who accompanied him as the
most enthusiastic they had witnessed
since the President’s inauguration. He
was plainly touched by the welcome
accorded him.

Rom»— Premier Salandra has insist
ed on acceptance of his resignation,
and King Victor Emmanuel has en
trusted Giuseppe Marcora, president of
the chamber of deputies, with the task
of forming a new cabinet.
If he succeed* in his purpose, the
Marcora cabinet will contain represen
tatives of all the opposing parties.
A report had spread through the city
Saturday that the King had refused to
accept the resignation of Signor Sa
landra.
This created an excellent im
pression and served to forestall more
serious trouble that then seemed im
minent. It was asserted that the pop
ulation had determined that the night
would not pass without such a demon
stration of violence as would render
the will of the people supreme.
The entire garrison had been brought
out to protect the most threatened
points in the city, such as the streets
where the Austrian and German em
bassies and consulates are situated,
and the Villa Malta, the home of ex
Premier Giolitti. The city was divid
ed into four military zones, and the
keeping of order was entrusted to the
military authorities.
A riotous crowd during the day in
vaded the Piazxa Monte Citorio, in
which the chamber of deputies ia sit
uated, and smashed windows and doors
and destroyed everything it came
across.
The rioters were about to
enter the great hall of sittings when
troops intervened. A few of the dem
onstrators were wounded.
Members of the chamber of deputies
who are followers of Signor Giolitti
