The socialists immediately opposed this. Signor Orlando in his address said Italy’s position had been considerably aggravated by international events during the second fortnight of April He referred to President Wilson's message regarding the Adriatic ques- tion. The Italian delegation at the peace conference, the premier added, had following this policy: “Fi maintain with firmness all tsential points of the Italian claims, without which Italy is con- vinced peace will be neither just nor dequate to the immense sacrifices suffered. “Second: remain faithful dutie stoward the allies. “Third: avoid any blind form of ob- stinate intransigeance.

Williams, of | Washington. “Valuable lessons, which we have learned in the treatment of cases among the soldiers, must be ad- vanced and applied to the still greater army at home—the army of industry,” he declared. “Psychiatrists must work among the men and women of the country, who are engaged in in- dustry, whether it be manual or in- tellectual. The need here is just as great as it was during the war, and | there is nothing else which will so help | to build up the national morale Dr. Henry C.

Brussels, June 19 (By the A. P.).— he King and queen of the Belgians said goodbye to President and Mrs. Wilson tonight after a day of func- tions and sightseeing that taxed the| energies of every individual in the American party. The president made three speeches and an extended tour of the battle- fields, and attended a luncheon and a formal dinner by the king. In the chamber of deputies he brought them ! 10 the realization that America was | happines not dealing with the past; that now | lcan the time for credits, and it is proposed | to extend them. | He said he had in mind to suggest | to congress to elevate the legation at | Brussels to an embassy and the post of minister to ambassador. ' The appearance of President Wilson before the chamber was the most im- portant feature of the day's program. In his address before the Belgian chamber of deputies, President Wilson said: “The enemy committed many out- rages in this war, gentlemen, but the | initial outrage was the fundamental outrage of all. They, with that inso- lent indifference, violated the sacred- ness of treaties. They showed that they did not care for the honor of any pledge. They showed that they did not care for the independence of any nation, whether it had raised its hand against them or not; that they wer | ruthless in their determination to have their whim at their pleasure.
