4 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. 3IAY 23, 1917. ITALIAN VISITORS DINED BY WILSONS War Mission and Cabinet Of cials and Congressmen Are - White House Guests. HONORS OCCUPY FIRST DAY fcody Is Made TTp of Experts In Mil itary Operations, Who Are Eager to Act in Conjunction With American Authorities. WASHIXGGTOX, May 24. The Prince of Udine and other members of the Italian war mission were the Rue. :s of President Wilson at a late dinner at the White House tonight, choosing a day spent by the visitors in receiving honors similar to those conferred on their British and French predecessors and in making the acquaintance of the American officials with whom they will negotiate during, the coming month. TheWhite House dinner brought to gether to meet the Italians many lead ing officials of the American govern ment. In addition to the President and Mrs. Wilson, the members of the mis sion and the Italian Ambassador, the guest list Included the members of the cabinet and their wi-es. Chief Justice White, Senator Saulsbury, President pro tern of the Senate; Speaker Clark, tent himself with., the . disposal of a : single division of troops and a regi ment of marines to France. In his message recommending that Congress declare the existence of a- slate of war, he said he would use all the power and all the resources or the United States to defeat the Imperial Oerman govern ment. This" can mean only one thing the dispatch to Kurope of all the men necessary to achieve his purpose. War Mar Come ta I'nited State. "The war must be fought either In Europe or on this side of the Atlantic," remarked a. member of the Cabinet especially In the confidence of the President., He desired by the state ment to 'make clear that failure on the part of this Government to act vigor ously and promptly might result In German success in Europe and leave the United States to cope alone with the German land and naval forces. Not that it is believed for a moment that either Great Britain or France would abandon this country, but com mon prudence demands that we take advantage of the strength of the allies and so overwhelmingly back them up that the end of the war will be certain and come quickly. So It is evident that more men, hundreds of thousands of them, will go abroad to fight with the British and French troops under the banners of democracy and human ity. When they will go, who their commanders will be these, too, are military secrets.
