Country Believed Defi
! nitely on Way
NEW YORK, Not. 11. Italy's
Intention of paying off the bond
issue In the United States which
will expire next February was an
nounced' by Prince Caetani, the
Italian ambassador to the United
States in an address tonight at a
banquet of the Italy-American so
ciety." The ambassador cited this
as a proof of the economic recon
struction taking place in Italy,
and urged that closer commercial
cooperation between the two coun
tries be established, saying that
"much has been achieved, but a
great deal more can be accom
plished." "Italy and America etrlre for
peace and friendly cooperation,"
he said. "They haye never had
political rivalry or serious econom
ic competition. It is reasonable
and useful that they should get
closer together and cooperate in
ereryway. -
Among the guests was Under
Secretary Grew of the state de
partment who read a message
from Secretary Hughes expressing
the latter's "keen sense of person
al loss" in the approaching sur
render by the ambassador of his
post at Washington. Mr. Hughes
in his message touched also upon
Italian progress -toward economic
stability.
"Especially do we rejoice," he
eaid, "in the new manifestation of
Italy's energy and resourcefulness,
as she has girded herself with ex
traordinary unity, vigor and de
termination to meet the economic
difficulties - which, r followed the
war and high degree of prosperity
she has won through the indefatig
able industry and skill of her peo
ple ' and her leaders. We send
through our friend. Ambassador
Caetani, the assurance of our af
fection for his country, of our ad
miration for the achievements of
his fellow countrymen."

CIDER LEGAL
SAYS JUDGE LOPER
Question Not Free From
Doubt, Is Admission
Made By the Court j
BALTIMORE, Md.. Nov. 11.
In ruling on the admissibility of
certain testimony today at the
trial of Representative John Phil
lip Hill, in United States court.
Judge Morris A; Soper declared it
his opinion that it was the intent
of congress, as set forth in section
29 of the Volstead act, to permit
the manufacture of fruit bever
ages and cider for home consump
tion regardless of
the alcoholic
limit of one half of one per cent
set forth elsewhere in the act.
Judge Soper t added, however,
that should such beverages be in
fact intoxicating their manufac
ture would be a violation of the
law. aa would, their sale or deliv
ery except to persons having per
mits for the manufacture of vine
gar. .
The judge also declared that in
his opinion defendants in such
cases could offer evidence to show
that thel beverages were not in
fact intoxicating. - This statement
was interpreted by lawyers pres
ent as meaning that the burden
of proof rests upon the govern
ment. '
Judge Soper's opinion in part
follows: . U
The question for discussion is
whether the defendant.; admitting
that he manufactured cider con
taining more than half of one per
cent of alcohol by volume,, that is
admitting it for- the- purpose of
this decision, but contending that
it was made exclusively for-use
in his own home, may offer evi
dence to show that the cider was
in fact not intoxicating.-:
: "While the question is not free
from doubt. In my opinion such
evidence may be offered.
"The doubt arises from the fact
that congress seems to have used
the word 'intoxicating in a dif
ferent sense In one section than
that employed , in another. Sec
tion one defines intoxicating li
quor to include among other
things any fermented liquor con
taining one half of one per cent
of alcohol by volume which is fit
for use for beverage purposes. ,
"Section three of the a.ct makes
it an offense for any person to
manufacture any Intoxicating li
quor except as authorized in the
act. Section 29. specifies the pen
alties for violation of the act,"

Gilbert said that her entry was so
sudden- that it was overwhelmfx;
in its effect.
."America cannot Temain in Iso

ing of the problems of the world."
was his comment. America's
greatest need was to wake up to
the need of her citizenship was
necessary to counteract the fcTcr
that were sapping the vitality of
the United States. In his final
plea Chaplain. Gilbert stated that
we should take a three-fold vow
that "they should not have die!
In vain."
