Smlth wh0 sa,l with happy expressiveness In his address of welcome to the envoys that "Columbus discovered the continent of America, now you nro discovering the heart of America?' Just how warm and generous that heart can bo the Italians had ample opportunity of proving last night. Always there was In. terest, sympathy and enthusiasm for every word Which tho commissioners uttered, and often the speeches were Interrupted by wild applause and cheers. But, after nil, the night belonged to the Italians of the city. The wlstful-cycd boot black, flaunting a hat band of red, white and green as wide as a sash, and hanging longingly around the hotel entrance, and the Italian consul both h ,d a part In It So did the pretty dark-cyed girls lenr'.ng from the boxes, chattering softly together In Italian. Looking down on the ballroom from the boxes was like looking down In a sea of red and white and green. The very roses and the white napcry nnd garlands of flowers conspired together to mnko tho Italian colors. But theso things were only a back ground for great events. Hidden among the palms on the stage the record made of the Liberty Bell last week was played for CADORNA CATTURA 936 PRIGIONIERI IN TJIENTINO Gli Italian! Riprcndono la Vio- lcnta Offensiva sul Monte Ortigara, ed Avanzano the first time. The silence was profound, as very faintly and yet very clearly the strokes sounded thirteen times. There was not a person there who did not thrill at the sound. The Italians seemed to appreciate Its significance as much as the Americans. "For, nfter all," said one enthusiastic listener, "the Liberty Bell rings for the wholo world." Marconi embodied this same thought In his speech. "Wo fight together for liberty and humanity," he said. Stnndlng very erect In his uniform of a lieutenant In the Italian navy, ho seemed like a piece of tempered steel, sheathed for tho time, yet roady to flash Into sudden play when the occasion warranted it. He recoived the ovation of tho evening, from the Italians nnd Americans nllke. The women, ever ready to pay tribute to a hero, found him the most gallant of figures, and the men recognized In him the most valuable of allien. "There," said one glowing son of Italy, who knew his Shakespeare as well as his Darto, "Is the noblest Itomnn of them all." And Judging from tho frantic cheers, every one was of the same mind. When tho last speech was almost fin ished, the sound of many voices camo up from tho strcctB and drowned out tho speakers. They were Italian voices, strong and sueet and fervent. An unimaginative. Philadelphia policeman would have stopped the chant In short order, but one of the envoys raised his hand. "It Is tho song of Garibaldi," ho said simply, and I'hlaldel phla, political and social, and the commis sion sat silent when the voices of the men who clean our streets nnd Rhino our shoes rose nnd fell and died away chanting: We ko, farewell; wo bo to victory, Terhaps to return: If not, to din gloriously tot Italy ami Liberty! I find the crowd cheered when the children presented tho fnventor with their flags. A stirring address was delivered by Judge Norris S. Barratt In the Declaration room.

Ktthan T. Folwell, president of tho Man tficturers' Club, met the distinguished vis Son at the entrance. In the. lobby stood Kn Dell'Ollvastro and her daughter, taa Maria, eleven years old, of Ponns fravt, N. J. Anna, a dark-eyed, black lilred girl, was dressed In white. Both of ler white arms encjrcled a huge bouquet of hck Roses, As the mission advanced Into Hit club the child approached Marconi and trust the bouquet Into his arms. The great Iwntor waited not a minute, but placing a kind under the girl's chin, kissed her on toth cheeks, Anna Maria, blushing hap llr. ran back to her mother. The visitors uttered'crles of delight when, a the west side of the lobby they saw fin tibnited Italian flag made up 'of varlcol ered electric lights. While the members of Oil mission were admiring the flag an or thtstra played the Italian national anthem lad Garibaldi's march. ROUSIXG SEND-OFF More than fifteen thousand persons were lunmed in the tralnshed of tho Reading terminal when detectives and secret service Bin forced a lane for tho passage of the nlnlon. The roof of tho shed fairly shook with the roar after roar of applause which i svten when the mission headed by the M Marconi appeared. The members of the mission stood on the twr platform of the last car of the train. The leaVe-taklniF nf lh mpmhern nt IhA 1 mission was most affectionate, after the finer or their nationality.

Judge Barratt assured the Italian mission that the United States Is In the war to the end that the country can be depended upon to send enough men and supplies to see that tho wai Is won for democracy. Ho paid a high tribute to the Italians who have led the world or who have con tributed to the great events In th world's history, and commented ujon our edu cational debt to Virgil, Tacitus, Cicero and Llvy and to the great artists ln music, sculpture and painting, and he commented also upon the fact that we derive our very name and owo our discovery to Italians.

At the conclusion of the address MayAr Smith escorted the members of the mfSslon to tho Liberty Bell, and each member stepped for ward and laid his hand reverently upon the crack as the Mayor explained how tho bell was broken. Many of the members shook their heads and exclaimed, ln Eng lish, "Yes, wo Italians know." "When Italy declared she stood for the rights of humanity," said Judge Barratt ln his closing remarks, "our hearts re joiced, and we appreciate the great fight you are waging in your picturesque moun tains. The American nation have with you Joined the Allies, and will do Its part In men, service and money to overcome' our common enemy, knowing that the right must prevail. I do not know that I can state our principles more concisely than by saying ln brief our creed Is The United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave", represented by our national flag, the Star Spangled Banner, stands for the human rights of the people, personal security, per sonal llbf'y and private property, and maintaining and vindicating them upon land and seatf they are invaded by a for eign foe. These are our principles of su preme excellence, the source of our pride, dignity and happiness as a nation. Fol lowing the examples of the fathers of the Republic, we mutually pledge to each other, br well as to the Government of the United States, our Government, of the people, by the .-people, for the people our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor, to preserve It and attain the end for which it was In stituted, our only thought being love of our country. For the good of the cause, let us stand together, because no man should enjoy freedom who has not spirit enough to defend It, having as our motto at this time "Parltur pax Deuo ii-eauc produced by war).

NEW U-BOAT FOES Such a development In the submarine warfare as will make the employment of wbmerslbles unprofitable for Germany was predicted X William Marconi, the Inventor of the wireless. ... "There have been extensive developments of one or two previously used methods of combating submarines," he said, "and these may soon bring about a decided decrease ln the numDer oi snips owm , ---. ... fact I would not be surprised if the Ger mans soon found It unwise to manipulate submarines against merchant ships, owing to the number of boats they will have to lose to sink an appreciable number of mer chantmen." While Marconi said there were many methods that were effective at present, he seemed enthusiastic over the possibilities of the newer means of running down the submerslbles. Probibly It will be 'several months, hb added, before the public will learn much about the measures that are being taken to protect shipping and tho success they are achieving. "No newspaper would print such Infor mation If I save it," ne saiu -mm . ., not want to aid Germany by giving It One of the things most essential In the war against U-boats' Is secrecy. If "a device fur fighting them Is effective. It may hap Ben that It will be months before a eub. me.-slble gets back to Its home port to make a report to the naval authorities. Meanwhile the Germans are In the dark as to why they are losing their boats. Marconi would not ray that American In ventions, which are being tried out, were responsible for the placing of Vice Admiral Sims at least temporarily. In command or the Allies' naval forces In Irish waters. But ne Intimated that American Ideas wen playing an essential part In bringing o many's undersea navy to bay. Asked what he w doing In the way of irleBa Inventions. Marconi said he had ehUdj-en. n he place4 hi, arms done nothing of late wept to nt i at long range, he Intimated that It was bo far ln the future that It was not worth working on In time of stress. With regard to Itnly'B part In the war. Marconi said that from an army of 250,000 men, with a few reserves, there had been developed a great field force of 4,000.000, well supplied with arms and ammunition. Between 100,000 and 200,000 are being used in Albania. "We may expect somo big guns nnd am munition from America," he said, "but as for rifles, wo have more than we need Last year we sent .16.1)00 to Russia. I had charge of their shipment. Tho Italians also are well supplied with food, said 'Marconi. The crops of wheat nnd other grains have been far larger than the average. Normally, Italy Imports some cereals, and he said that later In the year Russia might be called upon for some, a little at a time, to tide over tho nation until the next harvest. When asked as to the most effective use that might bo. made of Americans on the firing line, Marconi was careful to say that he was only able to give Ills personal opinion on the subject. He thought the forces from this country would be used to brace up France Although that nation needs men, he added that It has enough at tho front to hold Its own, nnd even to con duct offensives, If necessary. The English, nccordlng to Marconi, are In fine shape. They have all the men nnd ammunition they need, he said, and have some forces at tho front that have not yet been used.

Officers elected were; Charles H Hambly. Philadelphia, president; William Sutton, Philadelphia, secretary; I. A. Delshcr, Reading, treasurer; August Loch. John G. Buseman, Thomas J. Apryle, George W Martin. P. G. Dlcner, W. M. Bode, W W. Appcl, F. L. Davis and J. A. Lewis, vice presidents. President Hambly said that the Pennsyl vania association, since Its formation ln 1916, has been ln tho vanguard of tho strugglo for the better protection of the Jewelers from unequal competition and for the advancement and uplift of the trade generally. "Much work has been accomplished In this direction," ho said ; "but much more could have been accomplished lf a larger proportion of tho Jewolers of the Stato had been members of the association. As a con vincing argument to nonmembcrs, we can now point to actual results. "Before Congress, at the present time, there are three measure of vital Impor tance. The Stevens bill would legalize uni form selling jjrlces, equalize competition An4 assure a fAlr profit The Owen-Goek bill would prohibit the use of time guarantee on watch cases and thus rectify one of the most flagrant abuses with which both the , trade and the public are now afflicted. The third prohibits fake advertising."
