ITALY FORCES ealI
WAR ON GERMANY
Seized German Ship To Make
Them Into Transports For Her
Balkan Campaign
(AssOciated Press by Federal wireless. }

N@@@N~---
LONDON, November l4.-The long
delayed declaration of war on the part
Of Italy against Germany is about to
he issued, failing which n declaration
from Berlin must come. While Italy
has been waging war against Ger
many's allies, Austria and Turkey, for
some time, and joined the Entente
Powers In declaring war upon Bull
gaTia, there is today no formal state of
war existing between Italy anil Ger
many,
YESTERDAY, however, the italian
naval officers seized the various Ger.
man vessels which had sought refuge
in Italian ports when war broke out
between GUrmany, France and Great
Britain, the seizure being equivalent to
a declaration Of war 81
Prizes Of War @
Following the seizure ID was an
nounced officially that the government
had decided to declare all such Ger.
man VESSELS prizes of war aud to fit
them out as transports and naval
auxiliaries, a part of the work they are
TO be used in being the transportation
Of q large Italian force for participa-
ton in the Balkan fighting.
With Italy's entry into the Balkan
arena oil semblance of peace between
Italy and Germany must naturally
cease, inasmuch as the Italian troops
will soon be actively opposed TO Ger
man troops.
May Traverse Albania
The plans for the despatching of al
Italian force to Serbia are going ahead
without delay, but as yet no intimation
has been allowed to leak out % to the
course to be pursued by the Italians.
II Is generally taken for granted that
the expedition will be despatched
across the Adriatic to the Albanian
port of Durazzo, which is already un.
der italian occupation. Across Albania,
by way of Prizend, to the Serbian Dor.
der is a march of one hundred miles,
through country practically without
roads, but an advance through the
Albanian passes here would bring the
Italian army within striking distance
of the Bulgarians operating at Uskup,
If they are still there, or, if they are
not, would effect a junction of the
Italian and Anglo French armies on the
Austro- German, flank.

RATES INCREASED
FIFTY CENTS TON
Matson Line Announces Raise
From $3.50 To 81 On General
Freight For Coast

Rates on general freight from Homo
lulu to San Francisco and Seattle have
been raised by the Matson Navigation
Company from three dollars and fifty
cents to four dollars a ton, according
to formal announcement by Castle L.
Cooke, agents.
The increase is effective on and after
December Is, when the Matsonia will
sail.
First On East Bound Freight H.
This is the first raising of the gen
eral merchandise rate from Honolulu
to the Coast, but raises from three dol.
lars and half to four already have been
announced from Seattle by the Ameri
can hawaiian line, from Seattle and
San Francisco by the MatsOn line and
from San Francisco by the Oceanic Inc
The American Hawaiian transports no
freight directly TO the Coast; all Isl
and products by that line 60 via the
Canal to New York and Philadelphia.
This leaves the Oceanic the only reg
ular line to the States. 1t is consider.
ed certain that the raise by the Mat,
son line will he met by a corresponding
raise by the Oceanic. The Matson line
followed the American-Ilawaiian in rails
ing its rate from the Coast, and the
Oceanic followed the MatsOn raise,
Pines May Pay More
= possluInty being discussed here is
an increase for pineapples. They enjoy
rate of three dollars a ton to the
Coast, fifty cents less than general mer-
chandise, and, inasmuch as the general
freight must pay more, il is believed
that pines also may be subject to in
crease. There is no formal announce
mrnt as to this.
1t hard been regarded as certain that
rates to the Coast would go up with
rates from the Coast, and the announce
ment Of the MatsOn line does not come
ms surprise. The increases are in
line with world wide jumps in ocean
freight rates.

GREEK FRIENDSHIP
PROMISED FRANCE
Ministers Put Questions To The
Premier And Nation Waits
For His Reply

LONDON. November l4.-That the
government Of Greece intends to con-
rinue the maintenance Of the tradi.
tional friendship that has bound
Greece and France is the announce
ment of the Grecian mi ,ter at Paris,
in response to- the reporss from Athens,
published yesterday, that an Austro-
German diplomatiu delegation had ar
rived there With the object of inducing
Grecian participation in the war on be-
half of the Central Powers, or, failing
that, to secure guarantees on continued
Grecian neutrality.
The announcement of this mission
was received with uneasiness by the
Allies, who fear taat Teutonic promises
may be made to Greece and announced
by King Constantine to sway the
Greek electorate at the coming election,
to be held a month from tomorrow.
Ask For Declaration
Yesterday, following the advent of
the Austro- German mission at Athens,
the representatives of Great Britain,
France and Russia presented n joint re.
quest upon Premier Skonloudis for a
statement of the position Greece now
holds and for an calculation of her pro
posed future policy. A hypothetical
question was put to the Grecian pre-
mier by the ministers of the Allies,
who asked him what stand Greece
would take in the event Of defeat of
the forces Of the Allies now engaged in
retreat of these forces into Grecian ter.
Titory. ,
Premier Skouloudis has not as yet
replied to the request for information,
either as to the existing sentiment of
the Grecian ministry, appealing to the
country for support, or Us to the posi-
tion Greece would take in the event of
an Allied force taking refuge within
the Grecian borders.
Greek Voters interested,
The nation is eyidehcing great inter
est in the reply which the premier will
have to make, as upon IL, IL is believed
will depend the outcome of the cleo
ton. The vast majority of the voters
are in favor of the cause of the Allies
and probable majority is prepared to
support the NeRezelog policy OF imme
date Grecian pATti In; the con
Aict. The Joint question of the Allies
ministers is regarded az politically di
rected for the information Of the Gre
clan voters rather than as indicating
any fear. on the partsof the Allies that
they will be compelled to fall back be,

It is generally taken for granted that

assurances of continued Greek friehdli

inflicted series OF crushing de-
feats upon the Bulgarians.
Yesterday, in series of as
saults, the Anglo-French drove
the Bulgarians from Hill $50, a
strong stragetic position between Rad
vovo and Strumitza, and also seized and
occupied Hill SIG, which dominates the
pass through which the DOjpan-Stru.

off the Bulgarian retreat over the road.

In the general operations in the Cor.

astrous defeat upon the opposing Bul.
garians, capturing thousands Of prison
ers and driving the Bulgars back, the
latter bandoning their guns and sup
plies. The French occupied Dibrista,
Kamentol and Meneen in this section. 3
Equally severe were the Bulgarian
losses at SierkOvotnnd Clausevika, into
whi.h the French first drove the Bul.
garians and then practically surround.

Early reports from Salonika deny
the reports Of the Bulgarian occupation
of Valandove. Instead, said the Salo

strongly the region before Valandoyc

SACRED RICE FOR

KYOTO, November l3.-The Daijo-
sal Festival, or Grand Thanksgiving
Festival, the ceremony of Offering
sacred rice to the imperial ancestors
and the gods and goddesses of heaven
and earth, began today at the imperial
palace. This ceremony Is one Of the
three great rites of the coronation and
is of very ancient origin. r.,
When NiniginO -mikoto, the grandson
of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu Omika-
mi, founder of the Japanese imperial
dynasty, descended from the heavenly
domain, as it is additionally told, to
Mount TakachihO, in Kyushu, and ed
tablished imperial headquarters there.
he sOwed the seeds of rice plants and
presented the first crop to the Sun Col
dess before himself tasting the food.
This was the very beginning, of the
Daiiosai festival ~. .+#sa.f
Rice constitutes the most important
daily food of the japanese people, and

The central idea is that the new En-
rerOr, invested with the suZerainty of
the Land of the Sacred Rice, offers to
the imperial ancestors and the gods and
POddesses of heaven and earth the
first crop of the first harvest in his
reign. 1t is, therefore, observed as n
state ceremony and not as court cere-
mOny.
Related to it is n ceremony Of minor
importance, which is annually held in
the imperial court on November 23 and
simultaneously at the grand shrines at
lse. 1t is called the harvest festival
As the rice on which sixty millions OF
the subjects of the imperial house sus.
