ITALY HOLDS FAST 
 TO NEUTRALITY

Rome, (vfa Paris), Aug 8.-The German government is using it's ut- most efforts to bring about a change in Ita1y's attitude in the present Euro pean situation. Direct appeals have been made to King Victor Emmanuel but all in vain. It is asserted that Italy, having declared her neutrality. intends to maintain it.
 ItaIy's position as member of the Triple Alliance, and therefore an ally of Germany, under certain conditions has been discussed in every phase and the general concensus of opinion seems to be that the Italian people would never permit an act of hostility against France and Great Britain.
 Because Italy is neutral. all rnanifes- cations for or against the beIligerents are being rigorous repressed.
 Yet everywhere spontaneous out bursts of enthusiasm for France have occurred In Rome there have been frequent cries of Long live France; long live our Latin brothers and the Marseillaise is being sung in the streets
 The French embassy here and the French consulate in other cities o1 Italy are daily receiving offers from men who wish to join the. French forces

FOOD AND TRANSFORMATION

Editor Day Book:-The cit seems
to me" philosophy of Mr.. W. ]. Smith,
who writes under the above heading,
is amusing. He considers the cold
storage game a public benefit and
that its object is to preserve food.
He is woefully mistaken in that be-
lief and he would walk around till the
front and the back of his body met if
he wanted any of that food supply,
unless he came to their terms. His
ideas of the law of supply and de-
mand are too weak to call for a reply.

Der 8 over Eastman Sullivan and
Straw-man Sringer appears positive
Iy assured?
Imake this request because the big
business interests, that do not like
me, and the big political interests,
that serve Big Business, are taking
advantage of the silence of the big
newspapers concerning my candidacy
to circulate rumors that 1 have with
drawn from the race. The men who
circulate these rumors are HIRED
liars, and 1 respectfully request that
your readers treat them with the con-
sideration that is due a yellow cur.
l presume it is well known to your
readers that the State street barons
have threatened the big newspapers
with loss of advertising patronage if
any prominence or encouragement is
given to my senatorial candidacy. In
meek compliance with this ulttmatum
from State street, the downtown
newspapers are refusing even to print
mention of the dates and locations of
my meetings, while giving much
space and press-agenting to the gas
man and the gas-man's dummy can
didate, Straw-man Stringer.
If your readers will pass the word
of this boycott on me, and the reason
back of it, from mouth to mouth /
imagine the big politicians and the
big business interests will be shown
how very little the people depend on
the big newspapers for their informa-
ton and guidance: Yours sincerely
Barratt O'Hara.

War Dogs and Men.-I read some
where the other day that one Of the
warning nations had lot of Airedale
dogs to be used in the war A point
in favor of Airedale dogs was that
they didn't require much food and
could go long time without either
water or food. Besides that, they are
strong.
That's the kind of MEN the mas.
tiers want, too strong men, men who
don't require much food.
A soldier need have only intelli-
gence enough to march, keep fighting
on short rations, shoot straight and
obey orders.
If dogs could be trained to carry
guns and shoot them straight, they
would make good soldiers.

THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL A|RSH|P BOUGHT BY ENGLAND
The America Taken Aboard the Mauretania Under Cover of Darkness and
 Shipped to England

New York, September 30.--Under cover of darkness. the America, said
 to be the worlds most powerful areo- plane. early today was loaded on the steamship Mauretania and now is be- ling taken acros the Atlantic to be used by the British government for war service. The America was built for Ia transatlantic flight and would have been piloted by Lieut.. John c. Porte a British naval lieutenant. The America and two other aeroplanes constructed by Hammondsport, N Y., company were brought here on a special train 2l hours before the Mauretania sailed it was learned tonight. and secretly stored in the Mauretanias hold. High powered automobiles carried the ma chimes in sections from Hammondsport to Bath. N. Y. Upon arrival here they were loaded on lighters and taken out 10 the liner--this also under cover of darkness.
 The Mauretania was many miles at sea before announcement of the ship nient was made. The names of the purchaser and consignee of the ma chimes was closely guarded.
 The Impression prevailed here tonight that owing to his familiarity with the working of the America, Lieutenant Porte might be selected to pilot her should she be used for militay pur- poses.
 When tested at Hammondsport last summer the America flew with 10 men and Il quantity of gasoline aboard, her lift approximating 20o0 pounds.
