HOME, Jan. 4. President Wilson tarjr authorities. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by the king and queen, drove to the capilol after the dinner at the quir- inal. At the conclusion of the cere-. mony In which he became a citizen of Koine, Mr. Wilson spoke as follows: "You have done me a very great honor. Perhaps you can imagine what a feeling it is for a citizen of one of the great nations to be made a citizen of this ancient city. It is distinction which I am sura you are conferring upon me as a representa tive of the great people for whom I speak. One who has been a student of history cannot accept an honor oi the sort without having his memory run haok to the extraordinary series.! of events which have centered In this place. v,, I '' : ltcnrcscnts Freedom' '""But as 1 have thought today, I have been impressed by the contrast between the temporary and perma nent things. Many political changes havo centered about Rome, from the timo when from a little city she grew to be mistress of a great empire. Change after change has swept away many things, altering the very form of her affairs, but the thing that has remained permanent has been the spirit of Rome and the Italian people. That spirit cems to havo caught with eadjuffgo the characteristic pur pose of the age.' "This imperial people now gladly represents the freedom of nations. This people which at one time seem ed to conceive the purpose of gov erning the world now takes part in the llberaj enterprise of offering the world .Its own government. Can there be a finer or more impressive illus tration of tho indestructible human spirit and of the unconquerable spirit of liberty? Hcfers to Germany "I have been reflecting in these recent days about a colossal blunder which has been made the blunder of forco by the central empires. If Germany hud waited a single genera tion she would have had a commer cial empire of the world. She was not willing to conquer by skill, by enterprise, by commercial success. She must needs attempt to conquer the world by arms, and tho world will always acclaim the fact that it is Impossible to conquer by arms; that tho only thing that conquers It is the sort of service which can toe rendered' in trade. In Intercourse, in friendship and- that there is no conquering pow. er which can suppress the freedom of tho human spirit. "I have rejoiced personally In the partnership of the Italian and Amer ican people, liecause It is a new part nership In an old enterprise, an en terprise predestined to succeed where ever It is undertaken the enterprise which has always borne that hand some name which wo call liberty.'

ROME. Friday. Jun. .1 President Wilson was the guest of honor at an official dinner given at the Quirinal tonight. Tlien6 were onlv two ad dresses, bv King Victor Emmanuel and bv Mr. Wilson.

Thev had knitted American and Italy together with strong cords ot relationship and these became reinforced by the spirit ual affinity between both people who had common faith in the virtue of free politicul government. "When ltalv entered into the war. ji breath, a precursor of the American soul, penetrated into the rank and file of our army through the means of our workers who returned to the father land from America and brought into Italv 'an echo Of their second I'atria.
