GERMAN REFUGEES
HURRY FROM ITALY,
HEEDHNG WARNING
General Exodus of Kaiser's
Subjects Advised by Con-
sui Before Mobilization
Makes Departure Diff
cult.
NAPLES. April 9.

NAPLES. April g.
Doctor weeder the German Consul, ex.
plains IN an interview that the general
exodus Of Germans from all over the
country Is due to precautionary warnings
issued by German consuls, who realize
that there will be great difficulty in leav-
ing the country. especially for women
and children, as soon as mobilization
begins.
All Austrian and German families in
Italy, even those who are permanent
residents of the country, have been ad-
vised to leave. Among the most impor-
tant are Professor Friedlander, vol
canologist, and family; the Auselmayers,
bankers. and the Krebes, iron merchants.
The general rush of these people to get
out Of the country is so great that trains
are crowded night and day. The exodus
has even extended to Sicily.
It is now generally explained in ofIi-
cial circles that Gtalys statesmen are
trying to keep the country out of war
until they have done everything possible
toward obtaining the territory desired
without recourse to arms. 1t Is also
indicated that much more effective blow
can be struck by the country's forces
during the summer, when the Allies will
be occupying all of Germanys and Aus
trias attention.
The Gazzetta del Popolo of Turin, has
found reason to state editorially that the
reports that Austria contemplates peace
with Russia that she may the better
defend herself against Italy are not as
visionary as Vienna official statements
would indicate. The papers correspon-
dent at Vienna telegraphs that he has
obtained reliable information that the
Austrian Government has already opened
semiohlcial pourparlers with two Powers
of the Triple Entente.
Colonel Montanari has been appointed
secretary to Lieutenant General Count
Cadorno chief of the Italian General
Staff. In discussing the appointment the
newspapers say the General Staff is de-
cidedly anti-Austrian. Colonel Montanari
is thoroughly acquainted with the noun
tain passes In Austrian territory near the
Italian frontier.

WHITEWASH WILL LAST LONG
Mixture Recommended in One Of Gov
ernment Reports Makes White
Surface and Is Enduring.

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER. Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station)
Whitewash is usually made by
more water and applying with brush
or broom. At least this is the way we
did it down on the farm.
A whftewash that will last longer
than one season on the inside OF
buildings and which / believe has
been recommended in one of the gov
ernment reports is made as follows:
Slack half bushel of lime with boil.
ing water. keeping it covered; strain
and add peck of salt that has been
dissolved in warm water, three pounds
Of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste.
half a pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and one pound Of clear glue
dissolved in warm water Mix and
let the compound stand for several
days. Apply as hot as possible, using
a brush kept especially for the pur.
pose.
This whitewash will cost more than
the other and Is quite enduring. Where
whitewash is applied to rough board
fence posts. etc., for disinfectant pur
poses a more suitable mixture il
made by adding water and some disin
fectant to Stacked lime: The above
| finishing where in some places it viii
be Glite as satisfactory as the more
expensive paint.
