MARGARET WOODROW WILSON (Daughter of the President) MAKES RECORD FOR WAR RELIEF The first lady of the land has made a recording of the first song of the land—‘“The Star- Spangled Banner.” It is a record that will not only carry a dual appeal to American patriotism and American gen- erosity, but will bring a full share of enjoyment with it be- cause Miss Wilson has recorded this martial air with all the fervor with which it should be ren- dered. The reverse of the record carries a medley of National Alrs stirringly played by the Columbia Band.

He de- clined, however, to state definitely to a_dquestion by Count Andrassy, who dclared the opposition could not con- . sent to yield territory to Italy unless | lassured that this step was not a mere ‘matter of momentary necessity but . the product of a definite policy aim- pg at the elimination of all ground byt enmity between Italy and Austro- Hungary. “I opine,” said Count Andrassy, ‘that discord between the two states ywould be a disadvantage to both, and profit would accrue only to a third party which would take advantage of this opportunity to obtain lasting hegemony in the Mediterranean.” g Endorses Andrassy’s Views. “Bount Tisza, In replying, endorsed s views of Count Andrassy saying: YT cannot discuss the details of our pffer to Italy, but I can assure yon fi object is to secure the Jasting {trlendship of TItaly, which isWessen- tial to the great and vital interests of both. These interests demand that ,, at the price of great sacrifice, shall ‘try to remove all differences which have arisen and create the foundation of a lasting friendship de- void of all secret views. “T hope this attitude of the.govern- ment finds support in public opinion in Hungary, as I am sure the Hungar- ian feeling of friendship and sympa- thy for Italy still'is keenly alive. With the elimination of differences this sympathy will grow stronger and warmer.” ¢ Entire Nation United, After the premier had finished Count Andrassy, as leader of the op- position, declared: ‘“The entire na- tion is united on this question. If war is inevitable it will do its duty manfully, but if peace is possible it will joyfully and sincerely join to bring about more intimate and friena- ly relations with Italy.” JAPANESE STEAMER CHIYO MARU SAFE Fire on Board Vessel Extinguished— ‘Was Confined to Small Section of Cotton Cargo.

Beyond thjs, Secretary Tumulty’ re- fused to comment on the report. The question of British ipterfer- ence with American commerce has been under discussion among Wash- ington officials for some time and it is understood that ultimately efforts will be made to take up the question with Great Britain.

Rame, May 17, via Paris, May 18.— The Italian parliament will be asked Thursday to vote only on a bill con. taining a single clause conferring plenary powers on the government, ac- cording to the Giornale D’'Italia. Final, action regarding war is not expected until after that time unless Austria makes the first move which is con- sidered unlikely, in view of the pacific speeches made in the Hungarian diet. Alarmist rumors of all kinds are being circulated in Rome. One re- poert circulated today was to the ef- fect that Prince Von Buelow, the Ger- man ambassador, already had left the city secretly. It was unfounded, al- though a special train is kept in read- iness to carry him to St. Gothard if a break comes, as he is understood to have expressed a wish to return to Berlin by way of Switzerland. An- other special stands with steam up ready to speed for the Austrian fron- tier by way aof Verona and Brenner with Baron Von Macchio, the Aus- trian ambassador, and his staff. Sennino Holds Conference. Foreign Minister Sonnino conferred at length this afternoon with the Brit. ish ambassador and the Rumanian minister. Former Premier Giolitti started to- day for his home in the village of Cavour, accompanied only by his son- in-law, Deputy Chiaraviglio. Before leaving he expressed to friends the hope that he soon would be able to show that He has been misunderstood and ardently desires .the successful maintenance of the henor of tha fatherland, to which the remainder of his life's efforts will be devoted. Long Cabinet Council. The cabinet council today was one of the langest on record. At its cluse a brief communication was issued stat- ing that the ministers discussed the statement to be made before parlia- ment. No further intimation was given as to what action was taken. King Victor Emmanuel spent the en- tire day in granting audiences to gov- ernment officials and in the consider- ation of military and political ‘ques- tions, The general staff continued its prep. arations for eventualities, Mayor Favors War. There were not further demonstra- tions of rejoicing throughout Italy at the solution of the ministerial crisis. In Rome a great crowd climbed the Capitoline Hill to listen to a flery ad- dress by Gabriele d’Annunzio, who was earried thither on the shoulders of the people. He declared war was sacred, purifying and exalting. The enthusiasm was increazed by an ad- dress by Prince Calonna, Mayor of Rome, in which he emphasized the necessity for Italy to participate in the war. In an article summarizing the sit- uation the Tribune says: “The die is cast, the Rubicon s crossed, and the Triple Alliance has been denounced.” ‘War Virtually Declared. Rome, May 17, 7:40 p. m., via Paris, May 18, 1:20 a. m.—The Giornale D'Italia, which has been a strong sup- porter of the Salandra cabinet and was among the first to advoeate mili tary preparation, publishes a signifi cant article today. ‘ ‘“War,” says the paper, “is vir tually declared by concord of the king, the government and the natfon. The wonderful secret dream, which for half a century has strengthened Italy in its long wait, is about to be transformed into radiant reality. We will never forget our unfortunate sis- ter _towns desperately fighting un- | der®a toreign yoke in deé‘:n“ of their Itallan nationalit¥, To#ay the. hour of their liberation has rung. ‘War for Civilization, “Ttaly is about to engage not only in a war to liberate the remainder of the Italian provinces under foreign rule, buf in a war for civilization.” The Gjornale D'Italia urges a union of all parties and the cessation of all conflicting passions. It urges the supression of violence and resistance against the temptation to forget the duty of civilization and of dignity. savage attempts against the diplo- matiec representatives and the sub- Jects of the countries against which Germany and Austrla had declared war. These were considered the de- plorable excesses of a Hhistorical minority. Instead, they were the first manifestations of methods which later developed into a most atrocious war throughout Belgium and France and on the seas, | Hospitality Sacred Duty. “Nothing of the kind must happen in Italy. The motto must be no vio- lence against foreigners, even if they are enemies. Hospitality being the most sacréd duty of the civilized peo- ple, respect for diplomatic immunity is one of the highest forms of politi- cal civilizaton," Alluding tq the “imminent depart- ure” of Prince von Buelow, the Ger- man ambassador, and Baron von Macchio, the Austrian ambassador, the paper cites the Itallan proverb: “For the flying enemy build a golden bridge.” Chamber of Deputies Crowded., Throughout.the day the chamber of deputies was crowded with members, many of whom had hastened to Rome in their anxiety regarling the crisis and the imminent decision of the cab- inet, .Outside the chamber great crowds gathered, the majority of whom voiced their opinion that fur- ther delay on the part of the govern- ment would be disadvantageous, as it would give time for the completion of preparations by Austria and Germany. There was an active exchange of | cipher telegrams today between the | ‘Austrian and German embassies and Vienna and Berlin, ' King Victor Emmanuel, without an escort, today visited the barracks and the military hospital. He was cheered enthusiastically by the peo- ple. A DAY OF BROFEN HEADS N COURT ket Looked e “Morning ARG 3t Donaybion Fa, Today’'s collection of wrong doers in the police court pen resembled the ‘“‘morning after” at the Donneybrook fair. It was a day of broken heads. Two of the three prisoners exhibited Theads and eyes that were badly bruised and discolored and the third man, while uninjured physically, was unable to remember anything of his actions that led to his arrest. Thirty Days in Jail, Anthony Pilz, holding a rag to his bleeding eye and forehead, explained | in a maudling way how he became engaged in a drunken brawl last night which resulted in his being arrested by officers Hart and Kenedy. Judge Kirkham sent him to jail for thirty days, which sentence, together with the condition of his crantum, will serve as a continuous reminder for sometime come of tne error of his ways. Waterbury Man Arrested. Officer Wagner arrested Thomas Sexton, of Waterbury, at the depot last evening. Sexton was drunk and abusive in his language and explained tor the benefit of the crowd that no officer could arrest him. The local policeman showed hirh different how- ever, and this morning he declared that his memory was hazy as to what oceured at the depot. .Jultus Williams the ticket agent, testified to the con- dition of the accused. A fine of $10 and costs was imposed. Three Times ana oOut. The third member of the inebriate's trio in court was Sam Tazia. Ser- geant Herting arrested him and the judge fined him $7 and costs, It has become a habit with Tazla to get drunk and then rush into the police station with some fancied complaint, Last evening he came in and com- plained of haVing trouble with his boarding boss, but he was so drunk himself that he fell out of the door in making his exit. Later he returned to the station to make another com- plaint and was more drunk than before. On his third visit he was placed in durance vile, the patience of the police having become exhausted. ’ City lItems i Willlam H. Watrous has sold land and buildings at 34-36 Francis street to Roland H. Ripple, Plans and specifications for the new bank were approved by the directors at a meeting last night. Already the work of remodeling LeWitt's store has begun. Mr. and Mrs, Walter L. Carpenter and daughter, Mrs. A. N. Rutherford, of Stanley street, left this morning for a short stay at Saybrook. Mr. Ruther- ford spent the day there. Much smoke, caused by furnace draft in Gaylor's block on Church street late yesterday after- naon, gave rise to the belief that the place was on fire. The fire depart- ment wag galled out but there was nothing for the smoke-eaters to do. | L. F. & C. Mutual Aid dance. Hanna's Armory.
