Excitement Prevails
 in Italian Capital

Rome, Aug. IA 9:45 p. m., Via. Paris, 7:3O a. m., Aug. 15.-The ex- citement in the Italian capital has be- come very acute since the existence of the state of war between England and France on the one side and Aus tria- Hungary on the other has been declared. The Tribuna, in an article evidently inspired in official quarters, emphasizes the fact that Great Britain and France did not really de- clare war on Austria but simply an- nounced a state of war existed by reason of Austria's own acts and that, therefore, Italy is not obliged to assist Austria-Hungary.
 The most active work is now going on among the governments of the various Balkan states to bring about a reconstruction of the former Balkan league, which defeated Turkey in the recent war. The object of the move ment is to assist Russia against Aus tria-Hungary and to keep Turkey in- active.

German General Issues
 Manifesto to Nation

Copenhagen, Denmark, Via London, Aug. 15, 1905 F. M.-The Berliner Tageblatt of August 12 which reached here today, contains a mani festo to the German nation by Gen. eral Stein of the German general staff in which the public is cautioned against believing any statements ex- cept those given out by the general staff. It says:
 "In England and France falsehoods are being spread broadcast. ...
 "You Germans have too much faith in your government to accept rumors too easily.
 '"The English accuse us of having suggested partition with Holland in exchange for her neutrality. Such charges are beneath contempt and demonstrate the righteousness of our cause and the wickedness of our enemies.
 "You Germans also are spreading rumors of victories and defeats such as the German occupation of Befort and the destruction of French regi- ments~whol olesale.
 "Everything will be published at the proper time, and we have given our word that nothing shall be ex- aggerated and nothing minimlzed.
 Few except those who are experl- enced in warfare can know or show with what difficulties victories are won." -
 Another Berlin paper declares that Great Britain is paralyzing American diplomatic relations by preventing American ambassadors sending des- patches in cipher

A Domestic Blessing.
(Providence Journal.)

As one result of the war the pro- duction of hooks and eyes has sud- denly been stopped, or largely cur tailed, and it is reported that the entire supply of these small but ex- tremely significant commodities has been bought up." Thus there is an immediate famine in that line with the accompanying certainty of prohibitive prices.
 In some ways the outlook thus pro- duced may seem somewhat appalling. Upon hooks and eyes. in present con- ditions, hangs the whole stability of feminine fashion, and the decorum of civilization is largely dependent upon them And yet this news of the sud- den corner in the hook-and-eye mar ket will undoubtedly be received by thousands of men with subdued chuckles of mirth and qualification.
 Among the masculine portion of so- ciety this is far from being a matter to inspire gloom. The process or "hookfng up"-i. e., effecting an ac- curate conjunction between sixty-fonr minute hooks and their corresponding eyes-has driven many thousands ot respectable and harassed citizens m the past few years to the verge or nervous prostration. The amount oI profanity it has inspired in men or hitherto unblemished character ana habit is nothing short of deploraple.
 Honest and peaceable men have been rendered desperate, and very likely the undermining influences or hooks and eyes have been one or the chief contributory causes for the ir- crease of divorce and the disruption of happy homes. Here seems ar, apt for the saving that good may come out of evil. The shortage of hooks and eyes may very well bring about at least g pavtial return of domestic tranquility.

VATERLAND MAY FLY
 STARS AND STRIPES
Hamburg-American Line Contem- plating Selling Some of It's
 Steamships.

New York, Aug 15.-The Ham, burg-American line issued a state- ment this afternoon saying that it had under consideration offers to purchase some of its steamships in American waters, valued at $20,- OOO,00O.
 The fleet embraces the great steamer Vaterland, largest in the world.
 If sold the vessels would fly the American flag and would be the first big acquisition to the proposed Am- ericun merchant marine.
 The statement of the company reads as follows:
 Tn response to the many inquiries as to whether any of the Hamburg American line ships are for sale, have to say that it has always been the policy of this company to dispose of steamers whenever good opportun- ity affords, provided they can be spared.
 ''As the war has forced all our fleet into temporary idleness and as we now have in American waters steam CTS worth more than $20,0OO,O 900, bona fide offers for the purchase of some of them are being considered.
 Others of our steamers would not, of course, be sold at any price,
 The statement is issued over the signature of William G. Sickel, vice director of the company.
 Thirteen vessels of the Hamburg American line, including the vater- land, are tied up at their docks in Hoboken virtually since the beginning of hostilities between Germany and England.
