WAR OR REVOLT,
CHOICE FOR ITALY
Correspondent Says OAR
danelles Situation Has
Caused Crisis.

The Italian steamship Duca degll
Abruzzi arrived last night from Naples
and Genoa with one Of the biggest lists
of passengers that have come here from
the Mediterranean since September
She carried S44 travellers. There were
81 saloon passengers, 1870 second and
600 steerage.
Practically every one on board was
of the opinion that Italy could not long
sustain her policy of neutrality and
would cast her lot with the Allies. The
success of the Anglo-French fleet in
its attack on the Dardanelles has
strengthened the belief of the Italians
on board that the people of Italy VIII
force the government to take up arms
against Germany and Austria. .

London, March 8.-Proof of the elias
ITCHY of the recent declaration Of the
complete suppression of German com
merce is contained in the concession
just made TO American cotton export
ers. The agreement was arranged
after a consultation between Percy
Chubb, of Chubb & Son, Of New York,
representing large cotton exporters,
and the British Admiralty and other
officials.
Ii is emphasized here that the Brit
ish government in making this conces-
sion is merely accepting the proposal
made by American cotton exporters
themselves. 1t is something outside
whatever may finally be decided on re-
garding cotton traffic with Germany
itself or even future shipments 10 neu-
trail countries which might be meant
for the Germans.
IL is indicated. however. that il is
the British governments intention TO
deal with American commerce in a
spirit Of utmost fairness. and doubt
less this present concession 10 CON
tracts innocently made before the Brit
ish embargo was declared Is a part of
an effort not unduly to injure Ameri-
can commerce.

which he at once crushed by telling
me that on one occasion he had lost
a new silk hat at a social function
and the hostess had given him a list
of sixty-four men who had been among
those present. He wrote to the entire
lot and received four replies in the
negative. The others simply ignored
his notes of inquiry.

with an even sadder smile repeated

ignorant of her meaning. I looked up

addition to button" such other things
as bud" and even 'pimple."
Neither word could have been what
she meant, of that was sure; but not
until four hours later, as our train ap-
preached Paris, did it dawn upon me
that the lady had simply been saying
it was a fine day-"Fait beau temps"
But she really said, Boo not BE"

BABY ELEPHANT SHED TEARS
ribIe" Throughout Sea Trip,
Says Keeper.

Alfred Austyn arrived in this port
yesterday from his home city, London,
England, because some blighter had
stopped him on the dock in London
and awsked him to look after a
bloomin' baby elephant which had
quarters in the hold Of the liner Min
newaska.
Austyn told ship news reporters
yesterday when the Minnewaska docK-
Cd that e couldn't leave the bIawsted
brute moment on the trip or it
would begin moanin' fit to die. 2
said that every time e did leave it
the beast cried and took on some
thing terrible.
Last Sunday, e continued, e thought
the divine service on board might re-
store is peace Of mind, so he went to
the services, Ieavin' the little elephant
taking a nap and lookin' sweet enough
to kiss.
But as soon as Austyn got to divine
worship there was a terrible moanin'
from the hold, which got so loud that
officers of the boat awsked him to
please get back down to that blighted
beast and stay with i'm till the voyage
ended
Austyn went down to the elephant
and found i'm weepin' real tears. Il
was feelin' sorry for the poor little
animal, when it sucked up trunk Of
water from a bucket and blew 1t in
is face. E was glad then it was only
a baby elephant.
"And that's all 'e's been doin' all
the way over" said Austyn yesterday

FRUIT A HEALTHFUL FOOD
Fact is, Mankind Does Not Eat
Enough of 1t, Is Opinion
of Expert.
That's the only remedy
Think it over.

Food can be conveniently divided
into seven classes-fruits, nuts, vege-
tables, grains, legumes, miscellaneous
and meat. Fruits, the least known,
says an article in Health Culture, are
the most important. They include
tree products, berries and melons.
Only "A per cent of the food we con-
sumo in this country is fruit. Man
lis anatomically, physically, historic
aeIy, deductively, additionally and
morally a fruit eater" Yet we not
only eat little of it, but are restrained
from it by superstition that it causes
ailments. When ripened fruit is
dropped by the plant it is a mass Of
living cells that form a societg of in
diViduals, each Independent of the 9th
er. When eaten they give life to the
consumer. In animal foods putrefac-
ton begins its work Immediately on
the death of the animal There is
fermentation in fruits, but no rot
tenness" until the organized ferments
enter through a break in the skin,
The subject is a large one and runs
to technical analysis that is of little
help for everyday use. But, generally
speaking, one can stand by the axiom
that fruit is healthful food, one that
if fresh and clean should be beneficial
and not harmful. Waste products
which cause the peristaltic action Of
the digestive tract form an important
part of the diet and one that is usual
ly overlooked. Crude fiber is the best
waste product. Fruits produce an
ideal crude fiber.
