ITALIAN ENVOYS GET ROUSING WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA Mission Overwhelmed by Tribute of City's Warm Greeting MARCONI LIONIZED ALONG THE ROUTE The Italian War Mission was engulfed today by an overwhelming expression of Philadelphia's devotion to the cause of World democracy. Arrival of the mission at Broad Street Station at 11 o'clock this morning was the signal for the entire city to concentrate In an ovation to tho distinguished visitors which equaled that tendered to "Papa" Joffre, hero of the llarne. The City of Brotherly Love turned loose all of Its splendid patriotism and all of Its World-famed hospitality In a soul-felt de tre to pay a high tribute to the distin guished leprcsentatlves of one of this na tion's stanch allies In the world war. From all parts of Philadelphia and en virons thousands and tens of thousands were massed lntnd about Broad Street Sta tion.

The Senate leaders agreed to reconsider tho vote on the amendments and will go Into conference on the question aJte this afternoon.

Both Vare and McN'tchol said that while the elimination of the Sones amendments would make the bills Statewide In their ef fects, they believe they can convince the members from outside of hPlladelphla that the bills are bo drafted that they would meet conditions that exist only In Philadelphia. TO ItUSH BILLS The three bills will be rushed through the Legislature a quickly as possible. .After they have been put back In their original shape this afternoon they will be sent at once to the House. The House Commttee, to which they will be sent, will meet Imme diately and report them out tonight, and ihey will pass first reading In the House tonight, according to the program mapped out. That would place them on final pass aee' early next week. It became known here after the confer ences, that Mayor Smith knew of the Bones amendments and carefully looked them over before they were made.

The capture of 936 Austro-Hungarian prisoners and important Austro-IIun-garian positions on the Asiagn plateau was reported by the Italian War Office today. The successful fighting of the Italians shows that the Italians have resumed their drive in Trcntino. Monte Ortigard was captured by storm and Austro-Hungnrian trench positions on the plateau fell also before the Italians' rush. LONDON, June :0. British troops on the Arras front drove forward laBt night, recapturing from the CJermans the advanced poyts cast of Monchy ihlch had been lost on Monday, the War Office reported today. These posts arc In the sector of Infantry Hill, which the Germans tried In vain to take during their furious assaults last Sun. day night and Mornday morning. PARIS, June 23. A titanic artillery struggle Is In progress on the greater part of the French front, today's War Office statement revealed. Between the Allette and Moulin LaffaUx and In sections east of Chevreux wood and north of Rhelms this tire was heaviest from the German batteries. A violent bombard ment of French rfisltlons was directed there late at night. Along the 'hampagne front It was more of a duel of violence, guns on both sides roaring unceasingly throughout the night "The Germans unsuccessfully attacked n small post near Monte Teton and Cornlllet and farther west, following a bombard ment," the statement continued. "T!: Ger man attack was dispersed and thrown back to the German trenches from which it started." Tho violence of the German artillery fire suggests the possibility that Hlnden burg may be preparing a counter-offensive move against the French. During the last .u. .lava thm Herman nrn has been In line u?, .. ,.-....- . -. tense. The positions under bombardment are mainly tho3o commanding the valleys leading up to Laon, taken by tho French In their April offensive. . ALLIED FORCES OCCUPY NEARLY ALL OF GREECE rAIIIS. June 20.

WASHINGTON, June 20 While Allied fond buyers remained Idle and neutral natlonx continued contracting for grains and food, Senato debate as bitter an has ever marked any in the upper house began on the food control bill today. The few Senators who opposed the bill denounced In acrimonious terms the meas ure which would permit the President to conserve the nation's food supplies for our Allies and the American people. Heed and Gore, in the Senato. and Rep resentative Joe Cannon, in tho House, em ployed all their oratory to block the meas ure. "This bill will bring famine In 1918," shouted Gore.

SPORTS THWING'S TRUMPET CALL Stirring Address on Meaning of World Conflict Degrees and Honors at Commencement The spirit of war surged high today la the lClst commencement exercises of the University of Pennsylvania, at the Metro politan Opera House. It leaped to fever heat when Dr. Charles rranklln Thwing, president of the Western Reserve University, orator of the day, pleaded with tho war-thlnncd mass of grad uates to take with him an oath "to defend the world's shrine though all defenders fall," and never to forsake their comrade's In tho battleline of humanity. There 'waji a tenso sllenco after Doctor Thwing rent the complete oath, which he quoted from that of the youth of Athens. Then a volley of thunderous applause burst forth in ac quiescence. There was a feeling of Btandlng on the brink of a blind future mournful when Provost IMgar Kalis Smith sadly bade fare well to the depleted ranks of the grad uates, and heartening when Doctor Thwing pictured vast forces for good emerging from the war, the most tremendous forces that man has ever known. The time-honored felicitation and ex hortation of tho beloved provost was en tirely lacking In Its place the thousand of persons who crowded the opera house to its doors heard him pledge the fighting Mock of the Hed and Blue In the name of th "big brothers" "Mad Anthony" Wayne, McClellan. Jacob Brown. Peter Muhlenberg and the hundreds of other men of Penn who have been found In the thickest fraye oi American nisiory. Doctor Thwing. too. put his finger on the pulse of the war and made a plea that "hu manity richer than humanism" save the world. He vividly sketched a damaged world that needs a "God spelled with a capital O," that Is waiting for the work of a concert of the souls of men that should be mightier than any race or nation on the face of tho earth. He made a fervent plea that, college men above all exert the Influenoe of heart that has been Interwoven In their years of learning. Doctor Thwing told the students that they were supporters of the humane arte and students of the humanistic sciences. "But," he said, "richer than humanism and holler than humaneness Is humanity Humanity Is to rule. Above the clan Is the tribe ; abovo the nation, humanity. JIuv inanity is to save humanity." Tho vividness of the world conflict that permeated the addresses of .the speakers was vjirtbly pvldent In the' graduating olasres and btudent body. The black gounr'd ranks of the 394 students scheoV ulod to receive degrees were depleted bjr ronUnucd on Iaxe .Sftrn.

Column Two ENGLISH WOMEN WIN BATTLE FOR SUFFRAGE Commons Adopts Universal Electoral Reform Bill by 300 Majority LONDON", June 10. Advocates of uni versal suffrage were Jubilant today over the passage on final reading of the clause In the electoral reform bill dealing with woman suffrage, but the opponents vera gloomy. It was pointed out that thero were at least one million more women than men In the British Isles at the outbreak of the war. Unless restrictions are put in the suffrage measure the women will control the eleo tlons and consequently the Government. It Is expected that a proposal now will be made that the franchise be conferred on women on the same basis as men, The majority of 300 by which the House reaffirmed Its adhesion to the principle of woman suffrage astonished the warmest supporter- of the measure. They antic), pated a victory but none seemed to Imagine that there would be such a sweeping tt( umpn.
