torian schoolgirls winding along in the after
noon. two by two, lerded by dragon teachers
and casting looks neither to right nor left;
and then consider the schoolgirls of Berkeley
High School. California, who recently cele-
brated sock day by parading the streets
wearing odd stockings Some girls wore one
white stocking and one black, and other
girls wore one yellow stocking and one blue,
but no girl wore two stockings alike 1t
was giddy parade, and better than any
thing else that has happened lately, shows
the difference between the present and the
past.
We do not condemn the Berkeley High
School girls. We should find the mid-Vic-
tCrian fair ones very dull, very commonplace
and no whit better than the charmers of
to-day.

City Planning for Richmond

bad enough now, but in ten years II will have

MONTH OF IrALTs WAR
Highly Successful, Says Rome; Flat
Failure, Vienna Ayers.

Rome, June 20, (via Chiasso to
Paris One of the chief Generals in
the Italian War Office summarizes
'. the first month of the campaign about
as follows:
zone month ago the Italians inyad-
ed Austrian territory. uprooted the
yellow and black poles bearing the
Austrian eagle, and occupied the
enemy positions along front of 500
miles. An Austrian squadron bonn
barded the Italian coast ON the Adj
ratio, aud Austrian aeroplanes drop
ped eleven bombs on Venice.
During this month the Italians
overran the whole of Friuli. The
capture of Tolmino and Goritz. the
two Austrian strongholds, is consider
ed imminent which would open the
way to Trieste; while in the Alpine
region in the province of Trent they
have conquered peaks and passes
from which the picked Austro-Hun-
garian troops have been unable to
dislodge them.
Austrian activity has been chiefly
displayed in bombarding the Italian
Adriatic towns"
Vienna. June 90, (via London. y
The following official resume of the
operations of the first month of war
along the Italian frontier was issued
today:
During the first month Of the war
the Italians have gained no great
success. Our troops in the south

ITALY GROWING MORE GRAIN
Increase of Nearly 30 Million Bushels
of Wheat Over 1914.

Italy will harvest 29396,000 more
bushels OF wheat this year than in
1914, according to forecast of crop
conditions cabled to the department
of agriculture at Washington yester-
day by the international institute of
agriculture in Rome. ltaly's wheat
yield is estimated at 202 ,099,000 bush
els for 1915, as against 1852, 000
bushels in 1914. No yearly compari-
sons are given for other grains, but
it is estimated that Italy's rye crop
this year will total 4,724,000 bushels;
barley S9,1S6,000 and oats 31,00S,OO0.
For Japan the report indicates a
wheat crop of 23,6710O0 bushels and
barley 97,5510,000. The condition of
wheat and oats in Scotland for 1915
is estimated at 100; for barley in Ire
land 105 and oats 101. The figure
100" represents average yield per
acre.

wARRINe NATIONS PINcHED
Lack Of Money May Compel End of
Fighting.

Economists who have contended
that the exhaustion OF credits Will
play the leading role. in finally bring
ing about peace between the contend
ing nations of Europe, may see their
theory vindicated much sooner than
the general public expects, says the
Financial World Straws already are
making their appearance TO indicate
a pinch in the supply OF money, and
as the conflict proceeds it will make
itself felt with still greater weight.
When a rich nation like France,
heretofore regarded as veritable
storehouse of the hidden treasure, Is
forced, in the quest Of credit with
which to meet its bills, to entertain
the expedient suggested by some of
its leading bankers that the country
issue bonds to be offered TO French
holders of American securities in ex-
change for them so these securities
may in turn be rendered to our own
manufacturers in payment for goods
ordered by the French government
it indicates that the French republic
is hard up for ready cash, and that its
credit is waning.
Sterling exchange also between
England and our country has broken
down touching this week AIT, where
as the normal rate is 4.S6, and there
is every prospect of its going much
lower. This Ia portend of an I'm.
mistakable character that our debt
ors are meeting with difficulty in Sc
curing gold to pay our drafts; and
gold is what we are demanding in
stead OF paper money.
A few months Of the war and this
country will have accumulated

reached again in the memory of any
