MORE THAN $4,000
RAISED FOR COLLEGE
TIE REV. Mr.. FARR MAKES RE
PORT ON WosE- OF OBTAIN
ING SUBSCRIPTIONS.

More than one-third of the $4,000
which the Baptists of the South are
expected to contribute toward a fund
for the use of the Mississippi Won
ans College, in Hattiesburg, has been
collected and subscribed
This announcement was made to
day by the Rev. w. f. Farr, who has
been placed in charge of the subscrip-
ton work Mr.. Farr is in the city to-
day comforting with the officials of
the Woman's College, and with his
friends here.
Folks everywhere" he continued,
"are giving royalty to the cause, and
seem to be enthusiastic over the
chance to do so. Another gratifying
feature of this work is that the great
Baptist denomination feels that the
Woman's College under such splendid
leadership Of DR.. j. l.. Johnson, is fill
ing a long felt want.
"More than $2S,00O has been raised
in cash and subscriptions. That the
entire $4,000 will be subscribed is
doubted by no one. People every
where seem to think that Hattiesburg
was the proper place for locating this
great institution"

HOW TO GET FAT

Art losing flesh?

weighing 1876 pounds

and a product of the Grown In Mis-

He tips the scales at 126 pounds in
his summer clothes and without his
shoes He has a waist measurement
of 40 inches, and it's Is 1-2 inches

such a fleshy looking youngster as

And this is the secret of Lawrence's
good health and corpulent makeup:

So you have it from Hattiesburg's

got his weight. He was asked to de
scribe it to The News, and that is
how he did it.
Consequently, it would seem that if
a skinny person would only go to

casionally, and attend church some
times, that person ought to get fat

Rome, May 22-ItaIy is ready to
strike today.
Her troops are masscd along
the Austrian frontier.
Great cheering crowds surfound
the chamber of deputies building,
and the grounds of the royal
palace.
A formal declaration of war
against Austria may come at any
moment. Her expected entrance
into the gigantic European strug-
gle will result in a general read
justment of the Allies plan of at
tack against Germany and Aus
tria.
The recent tour OF General
Paul Pau, Frances one armed
hero, has resulted in a perfect un-
derstanding as to the part the
peninsula kingdom will play in
the war. Pau has conferred with
Russian Grand Duke Nicholas.
with the Serbian military lead
ers, and finally with General Cad
roma, chief of staff of the italian
army. An entirely new marshal
ing of forces against the Austro-
Germans is said to be planned.
King Victor Emanuel today will
issue a proclamation stating that
Italy has been driven into the
war, and appealing for popular
support for the governments poll
ey. A news agency dispatch sent
out, which passed the strict GEN.
sorship, says that the KING al
ready has signed the act confer
ring extraordinary powers on the
government "for duration of
war"
Although Italy and Austria are
virtually at war, there are no re-
ports here of actual fighting. A
train which crossed the frontier
from Italy, however, has been
seized by the Austrians, who ar
rested the crew. There were
great patriotic demonstrations
here last night. Dispatches from
Vienna tell similar story.
HostiIities are expected soon
without formal war declaration.

Offer Than Did the Dual Alliance,
Ard She Accepted.

Washington, D. c., May 22.-Intense
interest prevailed today among gov
ernment officials and the large body
of foreign diplOmatiSts on receipt of
adyices that war between Austria and
Italy is inevitable. Some official dis
paches from Rome predicted an actual
declaration of war before the end of
this week.
The collapse of the triple alliance,
officially confirmed in the Italian
Green Book, and the prospective
spread of the war, it was everywhere
recognized, foreshadowed further con-
fusion of the international relations
of the European powers, the political
effect of which on the map of the
world and the alliances of the future
is less calculable than ever before.
Only in the possible effect in Berlin
on the tenor of the German answer to
the recent American note was there a
direct interest for the United States
in the Austrian-Italian developments.
Some officials believed the value of
the public opinion of the most power
full neutral remaining would be an i'm
portant influence toward friendly re-
ply, while others thought the cutting
off of supplies through the Mediter-
ranean would cause the German ad-
miralty to permit little restrttion in
the activities of submarines.
Wilson to OTTER Mediation.
In executive quarters the most
scrupulous silence was maintained to-
ward the situation as between Austria
and Italy. the friendship of the United
States toward both countries being
long established.
A few hours after the return of the
president to the White House a report
became current that he had offered
his services as a mediator between
Austria and Italy as he did to all OF
the initial belligerents at the begin
ming of hostilities last August. At the
White House it was stated that no
step of this character had been taken.
Whether the President contem-
plates such action is known only to
himself, as he denied himself to call
ers throughout the day. Some admin
istration officials think that the Pres
ident should suggest mediation in the
case of Austria and Italy, others that
he should not act unless SO requested
by either of the belligerents
Balkan Nations May Follow.
The certain exodus from the dimin-
ishing family of neutrals of a power
!! full nation, with the possibility that as
consequence of expected territorial
adjustments in the Balkans, Rou-
mania, Bulgaria, and Greece might
be drawn into the conflict, overshad-
owed all else in the war situation.
Italy's action was not unexpected
in official quarters. The United
States has been kept closely informed
of developments as the parleys at vi
emma and Rome have progressed. AS
early as three weeks ago such advices
as were receive telling of the denun-
aia IF 0rfia in triY olli-
ance predicted the failure of the ne
gotiations and the certain entry of
Italy into the war.

distinction of being one of the healthi-

This is the report made yesterday
by the Federation of Woman's Clubs,
at meeting held in the Commercial
Clubs rooms, when the work result

That the women who, assisted by

cere appreciation of the hearty CO
operation we have received from the
homes of Hattiesburg, the business
men, a number of public works, the
Commercial Club, the Hattiesburg

commissioner, and to any individual
whatsoever who joined NTH us in our
cleanest city contest.
Resolved, Second, That while we
greatly regret that we are not one of
the cities contesting for first award
and we can see no reason why Hat
tiesburg should stand second to any
as a town of health and cleanliness.
Still we are happy over the results
accomplished. We earnestly solicit
the continued cooperation of those
who just been working with us and
ask them to join with us in a stand
ard that will make Hattiesburg the
best.

the close of the campaign she visited

Money In Treasury.

Mrs. j. S. Conner, president, suggest
ed that this sum be expended for
