AMERICAN STEAMER NEBRASkAN STRUCK
BY GERMAN TORPEDO; WASHINGTON ANXIOUS
(United Press)

Washington, May 26-Another
American liner, the Nebraskan, has
been torpedoed. The London admir-
atty reports that the vessel was en-
route from Liverpool to New York
and was passing a point forty miles
south by west of Fastnet when she
was struck. The weather is fine.
No word has been received from Fast
net direct.
The Nebraskan is steel twin screw
steamer owned by the American Ha-
vain Steamship company. She is un-
der American registry from the port
Of New York.
Further news of the Nebraskan is
being awaited here with great anx-
iety by officials, and it has brought
an unmistakable shock. Members Of
the state department refuse to talk
and the United Press was the first to
give them report Of the affair.
Passes Off Kinsale.
Kinsale, Ireland, May 2G.-The
Nebraskan passed off Kinsale east
bound, bow down, flying uncontrol-
liable signal, apparently bound for
Queenstown. She is not seriously
damaged although the fore chambers
are partly filed with water. Uncon-
that she is unable to maintain her
course.

The writer some days ago came
from Greenville on the train with
DIR. Cecil Hassell formerly of Scot
land Neck. DR.. Hassell who was
raised here is now a successful
practitioner at Lewiston in BERTHE
County. He stated that the people
of that county are very anxious to
have bridge span Roanoke River
just below Palmyra and connect
Scotland Neck up with a vast and
fertile background that throws it's
business to Aulander, Ahoskie and 2
few other small town across the
river.
We do not see why such project
should not be great benefactor to
this section. If we can not put a
bridge across the turbulent
Roanoke, why not operate a ferry =?
1t IS amazing to US why this PROPOSE
ton has not been looked into before
and acted on.

ITALY FINALLY TAKES
PLUNGE INTO WAR
FORMAL DECLARATION is MADE
THAT A STATE OF WAR
EXISTS.
SENT TO AUSTRIA HUNGARY
Teutonic Ambassadors Have Waited
In Rome Until Last Moment
Hoping In Vain.

Rome, via Paris.-Italy Is at wa
with Austria-Hungary.
With the issuance of the general
mobilization order the Italian Govern
ment issued g proclamation declaring
war on Austria.
Prior to this, and after a lengthy
consultation, the Ministers of War
and Marine proclaimed all the prov
inces bordering On Austria and the
islands and coast towns of the Adr1-
attic in a state of war which was
equivalent to the establishment OF
martial law, the step usually preced-
ing the formal declaration.
Although drastic action has been
looked for momentarily, Italians OF
all classes have been electrified By
the swiftly moving events. Great
crowds gathered around the Quirnal
to await the Ministers, who called on
the King for the purpose of discussing
the question and signing the decree.
When Premier Salandra and Signor
Sonnino, the Foreign Minister left
the Palace the people cheered them
enthusiastically General Zuppll1,
Minister OF war, anu wee AUIl1l III
Viale. Minister Of Marine, remained
with the king fer considerable
time after the others left and later
they had conference with Lieuten-
ant General Cadorna, Chief Of Staff
and Vice Admiral Phaon do Devel,
Chief Of the Naval staff.
Aust1io-Italion front, on the Aus

The German Ambassadors, Prince
Won Buelow, and the Austria Ambas-
sador, Baron Won Macchio, are still
in Rome SO far as is known. They
have waited to the last moment in
the hope that some way might be
found to prevent a clash at arms.
They will be given safe conduct
when they do leave and so far as
German and Austrian residents In
Italy are concerned, every effort has
ben made to see them safely out Of
the country.

B0fdx a Fly Preventive.

Each spring when the antifly
campaigns starts up the State Board
OF health is repeatedly called on to
recommend some chemical treat
ment that will destroy fly larvae
in manure. To find that chemical
Which will destroy the fly economi-
caiiy and at the same time preserve
the fertilizing value of the manure
appears to be somewhat battling
question to the scientists but one
they are hopeful of solving. In
fact through long process of expe-
fermentation with different chemi-
Gals, the United States Department
OF. Agriculture believes that it has
been found what may be relied on
as economical, practical and fairly
effective larvicide. 1t is ordinary
borax.
The bulletin Of the United States
Department of Agriculture sneak
ing Of the favorable results obtained
by the use of borax says ct pos
sesses a marked larvicidal action
and appears to exert no permanent
lnjure on the fertilizing value of
the manure"
The Bulletin reckons the cost of
borax treatment, using ordinary
commercial borax costing 5 to 8
cents per pound, to be one cent
per horse per day. and recommends
about pound of borax to every
Is cubic feet or IL bushels of ma
nure Immediately after its reno
val from the stable, or in other
words, about pound per horse per
week. 1T futher advises the sprink-
ling of the borax through any fine
slve over the manure especially
around the outer edges if placed
in, pile and that the whole he
sprinkled with to. 5 gallons of
water.
While the State Board of Health
would not for moment frown on
the use of borax where borax is ne
cessary, or where for some reason
prompt removal of manure seems
out of the question, but attention
should be called to the danger of
trying to use some larvicide to the
neglect of ordinary cleanliness. In
other words, beware of perfumes
