 Lewis is entitled to sympathy as a war refugee. Since 1909 he has been doing "a large part of his boxing in Paris, where the fans thought he was about the greatest ever. Paris liked Willie so well, and Willie liked Paris
 so well, that he decided to give his native land the shake and settle down in the French capital Early last year he invested all his available cash in a fine gymnasium in Paris. He was doing a land office business teaching boxing to the Partisan
 bIoods, when along came old Knock
 out Mars. There was nothing doing l in Paris after that, and Lewis closed 1 up his Paris gym and his cottage

ITALIANS IN U. s.
 WON'T BE CALLED
 HOME FOR A YEAR

Washington, May 21-Italians in the United States probably will not be called back to. the colors unless the European war is to continue for another year. Italian officers here believe Italy has sufficient men in her army to maintain a vigorous of- fensive against Austria
 The possibility that Ita1y's entrance in the war may compel peace in an other six months is suggested in ItaI- ian quarters here as a reason for withholding any call for reservists in other countries.

NEXT NOTE TO AUSTRIA
RElTERATEs OUR DEMANDS
Diplomat Intimates to Lansing That IT
Opportunity Is Given Reply May
Be Satisfactory to U. S.

Washington.-Presi Wilson late
Saturday completed the first draft Of
the new note to Austria Hungary reit-
Grating the American demands regard
ing the sinking of the allan steam
ship Ancona. The document was de-
livered to Secretary Lansing and ca
bled to Ambassador Penfield for pre-
sentation to the Vienna foreign office.
The draft was completed after Sec
rotary Lansing had sent the president
a memorandum containing all of the
state departments information on the
Ancona disaster, and after Baron e.
Zwiedinek, charge of the Austro-Hun-
garian embassy here, had conferred at
some length with the secretary.
1t was authoritatively stated that
the charge strongly intimated to Mr..
Lansing that should the second note
be couched in less vigorous terms, and
leave the Vienna foreign office such
an opportunity, the reply might be
wholly satisfactory to the United
States.
A satisfactory reply would have to
contain disavowal, assurances OF
PREPARATION by payment of indemnity
for the Americans killed and injured
| in the disaster, and some acceptable
statement concerning punishment fol
the commander of the submarine
which sank the vessel.
| The official text of the Austrian re
ply to the American note, given Out
at Washington, reveals that Austria
denied that the facts in case as pre-
scented by the United States, even Il
correct, warranted any blame for the
disaster being placed upon the com
mander of the Austrian submarine
which destroyed the Ancona.
| The United States, it was said, viii
reiterate in the new note that such {
position is opposed to all rules O
recognized international law.

SPOKANE MARKET.

Indications still continue to forecast
a good business opening for 1916. The
conviction that the Inland Empire and
Pacific northwest are now about to se-
cure the measure of prosperity that
has featured the leading industrial
and commercial centers of the east Is
becoming firmly fixed. Business is up
to the holiday conditions, with the re-
suit that jobbing activities in staple
lines has eased off, while the retail
trade Is concentrating it's efforts in
supplying the requirements for Christ
mas trade. The opening business with
the retail trade has been up to season
able proportions and in some respects
been up to record proportions.
Advances for the week are noted
in grapes, cranberries, potatoes, let
tuce, squash and wheat, while hams,
bacon, oranges, grapefruit and garlic
have declined.
Butter-The butter market is show.
ing very little change, although hold.
ing relatively firm, some diversion
having been accomplished by the fact
that the condenseries have been pay.
ing little better price for milk, while
production is about steady. Washing
| ton creamery holds at 30@34c, as for
| some time.
Eggs-There has been a slight in
crease in the supply of fresh eggs due
to the laying Of pullets, but the mar
ket is held firm at former quotations
of $l2, with demands somewhat cur
tailed. Both fresh and storage noted
an advance at New York. Firsts were
| quoted at 36@37c and extra firsts IS
| @39c.
Poultry-From present indications
turkeys will be scarce for the Christ
mas trade, as will also ducks. On the
other hand, geese and hens give evi
dence Of plentiful supply. No change,

cline is noted on some lines of hams
and bacons, but the market is report
ed to be firm at the new figures. Lard

pound has noted another advance.
Oranges-A further decline is noted
on nayels this week, fancy stock quot
ing at $3.5oQ3.75 and choice at $3.25.
Japs hold at So. The California crop
is reported somewhat short on navels,
but the heavier production of Valen-
cias will bring the total up to normal
Apples-Market is unchanged, but
| there is slightly better business in the
fancy grades, ranging from $1.25 to
50, with decrease in offerings of
cookers, which still continue at s5c@
81. The apple market at New York
was rather dull and about CSC per bar
rel lower. Fancy boxed fruit moved
we'll.
Other Fruits Cranberries have
again advanced, the figures for the
week being $1o.5o@11 per barrel and
