counties tc finance pig clubs. The
Tampa Board of Trade proposes to
put funds In the banks of Hillsbor-
ought county which will be loaned
to boys who want to get start IN

rion county intend to start similar
fund. G. X. McQuarrie, state agent
for the Extension Division of the
University Of Florida. has received
inquiries concerning the plan from
a number OF organizations and coun-
ties over the state.
The funds are available to the
boys who are recommended by the
county agent. The agent determines
whether the facilities for keeping
the pigs are adequate at the boys
home.. The boy applies at the bank

on farms. Money invested in hogs
will give quickest returns OF any
farm animal. With proper care the
gilt ought to multiply the invest
ment about i've or six or more times

American refugees from Ell Tigre, head.
ed by L. r. Budrow, manager of the
mines there, arrived here today. They
said the trip was meventful. Five more
refugees are due to arrive tonight.
General 0bregon and Major General

The first train of Carranza reinforce.

enable them the more quickly to protect
American mining properties from rebel
raids. A second train is due this aft
ernoon.
Rebels seized one end of Telegraph

train out Of Aqua Prieta by asserting
that Carranza q 800 men under Colonel

ITALY DECIDES TO
HELP SERBIA AND
TO STAND PAT
Has Agreed With Her Allies
That She viii Not Sign a
Separate Peace
AUSTRIA'S FINANCIAL
CONDITION DESPERATE
Bulgaria and Greece Believed
To Be Trying To Reach
An Understanding

Rome, Dec. 2.-ItaIy has definitely
decided to send aid to Serbia. This
announcement by Foreign Minister
Souhino to the italian parliament con,
firmed recent reports that the Rome
government had determined to take a
hand in the near eastern situation.
At the same time, it was announced
chat Italy has agreed with the entente
allies not to sign separate peace, thus
putting an end to reported Austrian
hopes or such peace.
The pledge not to sign q separate
peace was regarded as indicating that
Austria had actually made overtures
TO Rome looking toward such a settle
ment, for otherwise the pledge would
have been unnecessary.
Austria is regarded as in desperate
financial straits, and the fact that she
has appointed bankers in the places of
the three cabinet ministers who re-
signed is taken as further conclusive
evidence Of her situation.
AS for the aid to Serbia, it is under,
stood that the expedition is nearly
ready, and that the forces will soon
land in Albania, prepared to take the
tortuous trail across tnat country into
Serbia.

Germany and Bulgaria An
4. nOunce the Serbian Cam

WILL JOIN AUSTRIA In
CRUSHING LITTLE One
Have Big Job As MOnteneg-
rims Are Most Desperate
Fighters In Europe

Amsterdam, Dec. 2.-Montenegro is
the next nation on which the central
powers intend to concentrate their
admed forces.
Both Germany and Bulgaria have
announced that the Serbian campaign
is at an end Now attention will be
paid to Montenegro, whose forces for
weeks past have done their utmost to
hamper the kaiser's southeastern cam
paign. What is left OF the Serbian
campaigners is expected to aid the
Montenegrins.
Already the Austrians, on whom the
brunt of the new campaign will fall,
have driven their way into northern
Montenegro. The Montenegrins claim
success against them near Fotcha and
it is admitted that the Austrians are
meeting determined resistance. But
they swung their lines into Montene-
gro from Priepolie, and severe battles
are now raging. At the same time 9TH
er Austrian forces are moving west
ward from Sienitza q short distance
south of Priepolie. Annihilation Of
thousands of Montenegrins is forseen,
if they continue their warfare. At the
same time, however, the Austrians are
likely to suffer enormous losses, be,
cause of the fact that the Montene.
grins are well versed in mountain war.
fade and are fighting with the heroic
abandon that mas marked the entire
southeastern defense.
Pelvlije in northeastern Montenegro
is the immediate objective of the Aus.
trian armies. They have already reach
ed within six miles of the place in tine
face of stiff resistance.
Capture Of Prisrend with its 10000
Serb prisoners made it possible for
Austrians and Bulgars to turn their
attention more seriously to the Monte
negrin campaign. Austria claims that,
in the past month, more than $1,000
Serbian soldiers and civilians fit for
military ervice fell into the central
allies hands, along with many guns
and munitions.
In southern Serbia, fierce storms and
banket of snow have made operations
virtually impossible. Latest reports in
dicate that the actual occupation Of
Monastir by the Bulgars has not been
accomplished, though it is likely at any
moment.
The situation with respect to Ru.
mania and Greece still remains uncer.
tain.

GERMANY WANTS A
SPEEDY SETTLEMENT
Of FOOD QUESTIONS
Food Prices and Distribution
Cause Demonstration Be-
fore the Reichstag

Berlin, Dec. g. Germany wants
speedy settlement Of questions affect
ing food prices and food distribution
To gain these ends, crowds made dem
onstrations before the reichstag, it was
admitted today.
"German enemies" an inspired state
ment said, "will again spread ridicul-
GUS reports about troubles and street
riots and make other insinuations not
corresponding with the truth.
The statement indicated that the
chancellor will make statement before
the reichstag, scoffing at enemy beliefs
in Germany's ultimate economic de-
preston.
"In Germany, nobody understands
why the allies, after military failures
and diplomatic defeats, have not yet
begun peace negotiations, the state
ment said. "The chancellor probably
will show that enemy rulers still blind
ly believe stories of German starvation
economic prostration and similar illus
ions.
tAs result, they interpret Ger
many's peace coatistions, which her spc-
cesses dictate, as unreasonable and as
signs of weakness and WEAKNESS of
war"
Indications point to request from
the socialists for definition of terms
on which Germany would make peace
In this connection, the Tagebatt holds
that such a question would be proper
1t could not be interpreted as a con
fession of weakness, the paper says, in
view of the strong military position in
which Germany finds herself.
Moreover, the paper points out that
England asks, and gets answers to such
questions.

PROHIBITION LAW
GETS A KNOCKOUT
Washington Supreme Court
NuIIi6es Law Says the
Oregon Journal

Portland, Or, Dee. g.-The supreme
court Of the state of Washington last
week reached decision overthrowing
the law passed by the last Washington
legislature putting statewide prohibition
into effect, according to a story print
ed in the Oregon Journal this after
noon.
The decision was to have been handed
down Saturday but at the request of
Governor Lister the court delayed max
ing public the result of its study of the
act, the Journal says.
Constitutional prohibition by a vote
of the people goes into effect in Wash
ington January l and Governor Lister
urged upon the court reconsideration
Of its decision, requesting at the same
time a speedy announcement of its at
titude in order that he might call a
special session Of the legislature this
month to correct the faults in the law
as found by the court according to
the Journal.
The contentious against the Wash
ington law were, the Journal stated,
that it does not express the will Of the
people, and that it is the result of the
misuse of the initiative,
Under the first contention it is urged
that the people voted for prohibition
and that legal permission to buy speci-
fled amounts of spirituous and malt
liquors each month is contrary to the
spirit of prohibition.
Under the second contention, the
journal says, IL is asserted that voting
prohibition through initiative measure
is an uncommon use Of the initiative
and that the initiative was not intend
ed to be employed to so extreme pur-
pose.

Greece ostallsu For Time.

London, Dec. bulgarian delay in
seizing Monastir is regarded here as
strengthening the probability that
Greece and Bulgaria may reach an un-
derstanding. If such situation re-
suits, an amicable agreement between
the allies and Greece would be diff
cult, if not impossible.
Reports yesterday declared Monastir
had been occupied by the Bulgars. Lat.
er advices, however, show that the Bul.
gars are some way from the city
though it is reported committee has
arranged terms Of tae surrender if the
Bulgars desire to force this.
The war council here was expected
TO decide touay a definite course to.
ward Greece. Her demands have indi.
Gated that she is stalling" for time
and the allies are not disposed to brook
such disposition for long. Disposition
of Grecian railways, and policing of
Grecian waters, under allied direction,
apparently is distasteful to Greece.
Meantime, the allied campaign in the
Dardanelles apparently Is slated to
continue, for Earl Kitchener 8 inspec.
tion of that region is reported to have
decided him against Abandonment of
those operations.

NO CONCLUSION ON

Will Wait Until Other Mem.
bers Are Present to Form

part Of the committee from the O..

ernor Withycombe 3 office this fore
noon for an informal discussion Of the
plan to be presented by the state. In
consideration Of the fact that Chair
man Vawtef, Il. Il. Bean and Mr..
Spence were unable to be present no
definite action was taken by the gov
ernor, Secretary 0lcott, State Treasurer
Kay and Sam Garland, VINO were pres
ent.
1t is certain that the committee will
be called together again but the date
has not been fixed as yet and the next
time they meet II is hoped to have n
plan prepared to be presented to the
representatives Of the railroad for ac.
ceptance or rejection. The railroad Of.
ficals left after yesterday s confer
ence and put it up to the state to form.
ulate a plan for submission to the
company.
At the informal discussion this morn
ing the committee members expressed
their individual views relative to the
disposition Of the land in the grant
but no efforts was made to reach any
final conclusion in the matter until the
other members Of the committee could
be present. Taxes were discussion rel
ative TO these lands and also the item
Of transportation Of soldiers This fac.
tor has been the cause of considerable
concern on the part Of the railroad and
has been repeatedly brought before the
conference by tde railroad. IL In stat
ed that IL has cost the railroad com.
pany over two million dollars to haul
troops for the government and that the
expenses Of transportation are growing
greater yearly.
In all there are numerous problems
10 be considered before any final
agreement can be reached even to bt
presented to the railroad company
where IL may be rejected in It's entirety
and IL is probable that the matter will
drag along for considerable time before
any settlement Is made.

Crowley is Silent.

San Francisco, Dec. 2--In the face
of the Providence journal Is allegations
that he wrote to the Russian ambas-
sador Is wife at Washington to secure
credentials for shipment of "dried
fruits" aboard munitions steamers out
of Tacoma, G. G. Crowley, alleged anti-
ally consuirator, maintained silence
here today. The Journals intimation
that the "dried fruits" offered to the
Russian Red Cross were in reality to
be bombs, did not stir him.
He referred inquirers to his attorney
and suggested that, in time, anything
seeming to implicate him as o plotter
would be explained
"I don Y care to discuss the letter"
he said. Anything seeming to in
volve me will be explained in time,
but j must refer you TO my attorney" "
Net Tightens on Crowley.
Meantime, federal officials had their
plans laid for bringing Louis j. Smith
before the grand jury this afternoon to
fasten, IL possible, their charges upon
Crowley. Smith is accused by the gov
ernment of receiving money from Crow
Icy to blow up u munitions barge at
Seattle, and otherwise to cripple mu-
nitions shipments destined for tho al
lies
Rumors were current Smith was
ready to give damaging evidence
against Crowley. AT any rate, federal
officials seemed to be confident that
from him they would gain important
testimony.
Meantime officials are continuing
their hunt for Robert Capelle, North
German Lloyd agent, wanted as wit
ness before the grand jury in connec-
ton with the question Of supplies

According to information today, Ca

WAR STOCKS DECLINE.

New York Dec. "A sharp
decline in the stock market,
which had been generally pre-
dicted took an unexpected turn
today. When the market showed
weakness yesterday, the Street
had familiar explanation-un-
certainty over congressional ac-
tion.
Instead of uniform declines
everywhere, the war stocks tend
ed to react mostly. This was
not ascribed to congress. The
immediate reason was the
speech last night by the presi-
dent of the City Bank in which
he stated that while no one
knows how long the war will
last, it is known that possibly
before the war ends, foreign
purchases here must be cur
tailed because the means of pay
ment will perhaps be lacking.
