He was given a magnificent welcome by thousands of schoolboys who cheered and waved flags. A typical incident occurred in front of the Massimo military hospital, opposite the railway station. Wounded soldiers and nurses, crowding the : windows. cheered the prince, who was obviously affected. He first saluted, then waved his hand affectionately toward the wounded men. His action elicited a storm of applause. The Tribuna, commenting on the American celebration of Italy day, said today : President. Wilson was perfectly right in his assertion that part of the big heart of America throbs in the Italian army. Not only the army, but the whole population' nurtures the most cordial and grateful sentiments toward America. "The present celebrations further strengthening the bonds ' between, the two allied nations, will have far-reaching and lasting effects.

Italy, Germany and Italy pledged themselves to respect the4 nroo- erty and lives of their respective sub jects in each others' domains. This meant for Germany a guarantee of many millions of dollars worth of properties in Itafyv-and -for Italy the safety of 30,000 Italian subjects who were stui living in Germany. , Later, Italy made the , following 'de mands:' That her sons who .suffered under Austro-Hungartan - tyranny be rreed; that she be protected by natural and national boundaries so as to be se cure in her own national, peaceful de velopment ; that the 'Adriatic . become a sea where no other nation except Italy have any Tight to have forts and men of war; that she be granted territorial expansion in the Mediterranean In pro portion to the increase of territory of tne oiner ieaiierranean nations and such as to offer an outlet to the mil lions or her sons who were then seeking a living in roreign ana rer orr countries.
