GERMANY FACING
ISOLATION BY ITALY

Washington, May 20. The entrance
Of Italy into the European war Will
make even more complete the isolation
of Germany from cable and telegrapnic
connections with the outside world For
many months Germany's TRANSATLANTIC
cable connections have been cut of.
Messages for the Kaiser's domain com
ing from the Western Hemisphere have
been compulsorily sent in plain Ian
guage and dispatched either by way Of
the British Isles and Denmark, with
the single censorship by the British
authorities. or by way Of Brest, France,
thence overland TO Marseilles, thence
bv cable 70 Genoa, and by land lines
through Italy and Switzerland or the
Austrian Tyrol. 70 Germany. The dec
laration Of war by Italy will subject
the messages 70 second censorship,
even when sent through Brest.
There is no connection with Germany
from the East. A message might be
started around the world from Wash
ington 20 Berlin via the Pacific cable,
which is American but from
Manila on it would have TO pass over
cables that are either owned by the
British or French.
II is reported that during the spring
months communication by radio has
been exceedingly unsatisfactory.

British Note Well Received.

The British memorandum regarding
the detentions of American cargoes in
British ports will not be reviewed by
the President until tomorrow night.
II was not received at the White House
until near midnight tonight.
Qualification was expressed IN quar-
ters close TO the President at the
tenor and explicit character Of the
British communication. 1t WAS felt
that the course of the President in
refusing TO open case with Great
Britain, dealing with matters Of COM
mercial disagreement while a case
ponds with Germany regarding the
Shaving of American citizens, could not
have been more wisely chosen. The
British memorandum. il is thought.
will serve TO allay criticism OF the ad-
ministration advanced b. cotton ship
pers and representatives OF the beef
packers, who have sought through
another official channel TO complicate
the graver international question with
the side issue of commercial disagree
ments.
Credit is also given TO the President
for his course on the ground that the
introduction Of new controversy with
Great Britain over commercial affairs
had been advocated by the more tim
orous members OF his administration
as an offset TO the pertinence and
positiveness of the note TO Germany
with the hope of placating the German.
American public and, through them
the people of Germany. II is felt that
Germany will be more apt 10 heed the
suggestions as TO her course conveyed

At several points along the western

cent note to the Kaiser's government
had considerable influence IN shaping
the Italian policy. II is asserted that
until this communication was sent 10
the German government no substantial
statement as TO the course the United
States intended 10 pursue was known.
The firm tone Of the American note,
with the determination by President
Wilson 10 back 1t up 70 the limit, II Is
believed, weighed heavily with the
Italian government in deciding It's
course.
Italy's particpst in the European
war, high officials believe, will tend TO
bring the conflict TO speedy end. II
is pointed out that almost since the
war began, nine months ago, Italy
had been preparing. with the result
that if she goes into the conflict she
will have we'll trained army plentl-
fully supplied with arms and ammunl-
ton and everything necessary. italy 5
agents have been purchasing horses,
guns, ammunition and foodstufs IN
enormous quantities in this country
for several months. According to the
figures OF the Department OF Com
merce, American exports TO Italy nave
increased greatly since the war began.
As result she can enter the war
better equipped for fighting than any
other of the nations engaged, with the
possible exception of Germany.

NEW ROAD COMMITTEE

Citizens who had hoped for a set
tlement of the mooted question of
the proposed new road to the west
of the N. P. tracks, leading north on
Grand street, were doomed to dis
appointment Tuesday night when
the matter of the vacation of the
present road east of the tracks was
scheduled for a hearing. Nothing
definite concerning the fill which
the railroad officials were requested
TO make as a part of the plan had
been ascertained, and the hearing
was continued to September II.
Mayor Jackson appointed new.
committee to take the question in
hand. with Councilmen Scott, Wal
tiers and Swain as members, and
the committee promised to confer
with railroad officials concerning
the fill. The question of the pro-
posed road has been before the
council for over two years, but each
time that it hobs up in the council
chambers something happens to
thwart the couneilmen in their eff
forts to bring the deal to termina-
ton.

NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
SEEMS ASSURED
council Passes Preliminary Resolu.
ton Calling for Improvement of
Property Between Railroad
Tracks and kamiaken

No strenuous objections were reg
lstered by property owners against
the preliminary resolution of the
city council declaring the intention
OF the city to improve the property
on kamiaken street between the
Northern Pacific and O.-W. r. & n.
railroad tracks, and the resolution
was adopted. The city fathers also
approved the preliminary estimate of
City Engineer l.. V, Edwards, who
figured the total cost of the improve
ment at $3659.34, the greater part
of which will be borne by the two
railway companies, they being the
owners of the greater part of the
property included in the district
The proposed improvement will be
embodied in city ordinance, and as
soon as the action is ratified by the
council, bids for the work will be
asked. The specifications call for
$500 cubic yards of excavation work
which the city engineer estimates at
SOC per cubic yard, or $1265; SIS
square yards of brick pavements, es-
timated at $3.50 per yard, or
$1113; 23S feet of concrete curb,
estimated at soc per foot, or $500;
1928 square feet of concrete side
walk figured at 14c, $199.92; 10
cubic yards of concrete work at SIS,
$500, and the removing of the old
bridge, estimated at 500. The en-
gineer also adds 10 per cent for en-
gineering and incidentals, bringing
his grand total estimate to $3653.34.
The Improvement means the tear
ing out of the old bridge in front
of Millers cafe and the installation
of complete fill

THE TARIFF BOGN

In this last fiscal year our pur-
chase of foreign goods was $780,
600, 900 smaller than the year before
and at the end of the period commod-
ity prices in the United States, as re-
Elected by Bradstreet's index num-
Der, We're the highest ever known.
But in spite of that the country, our
protectionist friend tells us, is being
mysteriously ruined by the pauper
labor of Europe.
The aforesaid labor is getting
killed and manned to an extent that
appalls the world. The factories in
which it was employed are increas-
ingly disorganized by war. The cap
ital behind it is being shot away at
the rate OF tens of millions of dol
lars day. But those things we're
mere broken reeds to lean upon, I'M
less we are further fortified against
European competition by very high
tariff.
You might sink Europe into the
sea tomorrow, and your true high
protectionist would still go about
pale and trembling unless he had in
his pocket the rabbits foot Of high
duties to fend off the specter OF pau
per labor A Europe with arms in a
sling and not a leg to stand on would
still brighten him into gooseflesh un-
less he had the tariff horseshoe over
his door.
So the tariff will no doubt be one
of the issues of the next presidential
election, and if the republicans win
we shall have another vision of it.
The loudest champions of high pro-
lection do not want an intelligent
tariff; they want a political one,
with the usual logrolling. This is
painful to contemplate, but as Meth
er democrats nor republicans seem at
all minded to take the tariff out of
politics there is probably no help for
it.-Saturday Evening Post.

Is DR.. Suzzallo aware of the fact
thai the Morrill, act specified the
scope of the work of the institutions
receiving the appropriations proyid-
ed by it as follows: The leading OBJ
ject shall be, without excluding other
scientific and classical studies, and
including military tactics, to teach
such branches of learning as are re-
lated to agriculture and the me-
chanic arts, in order to promote the
liberal and practical education OF
the industrial classes in the several
pursuits and professions of life?
Is DR.. Suzzallo aware OF the fact
that in explaining the object of
his bill. Senator Morrill, said: 1T is
perhaps needless to say that these
colleges were not established or en-
dowed for the sole purpose of teach
ing agriculture. Their object was to
give an opportunity for those en-
gagged in industrial pursuits to obtain
some knowledge of the practical sci
ences related to agriculture and the
mechanics, such as they could not
then obtain at most of our institu-
tions called classical colleges?
Is DR.. Suzzallo aware of the fact
that Senator Morrill, further said:
1T was never intended to force the
pOyS Vi IhI HlSlS gums lhIo 'AS7N IL
situations so to study that they
should all come out farmers. 1t was
merely intended to give them an OPP
portunity to do SO and to do so with
advantage if they saw fit?

that House Bill No. 40, passed by
the state legislature of 1S90-9l, was
