ITALY HAS
ENTERED WAR
Throws Hat In Ring by Formal
Declaration of War on Austria

London. May 25.-After being
virtually in a state of war for sever
al days with her former partners in
the triple alliance. Italy beginning
today, ratifes this condition by a
declaration of hostilities directed at
Austria Hungary with all the usual
formalities, Furthermore. Germany
is reported to have indicated her
support of Austria Hungary by a
former declaration of war against
Italy.
The general mobilization of the
Italian army and navy is said to
have been completed and a state of
war has been declared throughout
the northern provinces of Italy.
On the Austrian side of the line
martial law has been declared in
the Trentino. the age limit for mill
tary service raised to 50 years and
stringent measures taken to control
the Italian population of the dual
monarchy.
Demonstrations enthusiastically
approving the war are reported
from all parts of Italy, while on the
other hand Vienna has offered the
warmest support Of the people to
the government in the operations
against the new enemy.
On the western line Paris reports
that the French have stopped a
strong night attack of the Germans
north of Ypres and also have driven
the invaders from the slopes of Lor-
cite, thus giving the allies full
possession of this important point.
A great battle still is raging along
a 250-mile front on the eastern line.
Although Russia is apparently gain
ing on both TANKS the decision must
come along the sixty mile front in
the center. along the river San in
Central Galicla. where the Austrians
and Germans are still pressing the
offensive.

Filings Light on SIS Land

The report is sent out from the
land office in the Standing Rock
country that not much of the SIS an
acre land is being filed on. The rea.
son for this is that there still re-
mains plenty of good land offered
at $3.50 per acr and until this is
taken there will not be much demand
for the high priced land. IT is
thought the government will reduce
the price of all land which is open to
filing to $3.50 an acre.

One Years Products at Miller

The above estimate is based upon
figures received from the various
dealers and from shipping recoads
for the past year. 1t marks Miller
as one of the best farming markets
in the state for about everything
produced in a mixed farming coun-
try.
And vet only one half the land
tributary to the Miller market is
developed. As many more people
can profitablv occupy the undevel,
oped lands tributary to Miller, and
double the above products.
With such a record as the above
production. these remaining raw
lands are cheap at anything under
$50 Der acre-and in many cases
they al be bought way below that
price at this time.

world was there a place for him.
The rumors of native unrest &C
centuated that winter. Dawson,
seated round the fire, had discussed
the matter with dozen of the chiefs.
All agreed that the projected upris-
ing was madness. They knew the
terrible power of the white mans
guns.
But what can we do?" they said.
"Our young men want to flesh their
spears, then"
Dawson knew that the then" had

He knew that they mistrusted him,
because even the savage knows that
white is white and black is black for
ever.
He walked into Grey to warn the
administrator. He was kept waiting
by Lord Forrest for two hours, and
then Lord Forrest sent out word that |
he was too busy to receive him..
But, while Dawson was waiting, he
heard a scornful speech in the draw

that the uprising was to take place |

dawn. 1t would be one of those mas

He had become so embittered that
his mind was twisted, and he saw all
this is the light of the natives. He,
justified it. On the night before the
massacre was. scheduled to occur he
lay down in his kraal. He knew thatfy

were watching him. He would show,
them how ungrounded their suspi-

He slept, and awakened suddenly
toward morning. In his sleep a.
saner vision had come to him. He
saw things in different prospective,
now, himself in all his baseness, and
Lady Sibyl a prey to the savages. =
Outside his hut party of young
men were keeping watch, armed with
spears.
The night was very dark. Dawson

lay and wriggled out of the hut door,

trees.

ARABIC CASE is ENDED
GERMANY DECLARES THE ACT
WAS A MISTAKE.
President Wilson's Demands Are Up
held in Note From Ambassador
Won 7ernstorff.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Safety Of non
combatants in the naval war zone" 8
assured. Washington officialdom de-
clares President Wilson has won sig
nal victory for the principles for
which he has contended in the subma-
rine warfare controversy with Ger
many.
Germany, through Count Johann Won
Bernstorff, her ambassador, disavowed
the sinking of the liner Arabic and
promised the Washington government
it would indemnify it for the loss of
all American lives. Germany has
yielded on all points brought to its at
tention by the United States.
Secretary Lansing on Tuesday gave
out the text of letter received from
Count Won Bernstorff, which was as
follows:
my dear Mr.. Secretary:
Prompted by a desire to reach a
satisfactory agreement with regard to
the Arabic incident, my government
has given me the following instruc-
tions:
THE orders issued by his majesty
the emperor to the commanders of the
German submarines, of which noti.
fled you on a previous occasion, have
been made so stringent that the recur-
renee of incidents similar to the Ara.
bic case is considered out of the ques-
ton.
According to the report of Com.
mander Schneider of the submarine
which sank the Arabic and his affi'
davit as we'll as those of his men.
Commander Schneider was convinced
that the Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
"On the other hand, the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic, according tc
which the Arabic did not intend tc
ram the submarine. The attack of the
submarine was undertaken against the
instructions issued to the commander
The imperial government regrets and
disavcws this act and has notified
Commander Schneider accordingly.
Under these circumstances nly gov
ernment is prepared to pay an indem
nifty for American lives lost on the
Arabic. l am authorized to negotiate
with you about the amount of this in
demnity.
Il remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing
yours sincerely,
~. Won BERNSTORFF."
