clared war on Germany.
At War After August 90.
Paris, Aug. pa Havas dispatch
from Rome gives communication
published by the Stefani agency and
addressed to the Italian government
to the Swiss government. 1t requests
the Swiss government to inform the
German government that Italy consid
ers herself at war with Germany from
and after August %.
Action Was Inevitable.
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war. The decla-
ration became inevitable when Italy
recently sent troops to Saloniki to
cooperate in the campaign of the en-
tente allies on the Macedonia front,
as Germany is directing the opposing
forces and has troops on this battle
line.
Won BueIow Procured Truce.
Italy's position in regard to Ger
many has been an anomalous one,
since it withdrew from the triple al
lance May % of last year and de-
clared war on Austria. Although by
this act she arrayed herself against
her former allies, Germany and Aus
tria, she remained officially at peace
with Germany until this time. Be-
fore Italy took this step Germany ex-
erted every effort to induce her to
remain neutral, sending to Rome as
an ambassador Prince Won Buelow.
The prince for some time averted war
between Austria and Italy, and when
he saw rupture was inevitable took
steps toward preservation of an Of
fetal peace between Germany and
Italy. He negotiated special agree
ment under which in case of war be-
tween Austria and Italy, Germany and
Italy pledged themselves to respect
the properties and lives of their re
spective subjects in each others do
mains.
Entente Allies Dissatisfied.
According to unofficial reports from
Hu1 OpO lIctAy oAAAOo WOAO AAooe1SAoAASa
and at the Paris council of entente
powers in February last asked the
Italian representatives why their ma
ton was not at war with Germany
Italy already had agreed not to con
clude separate peace, and at the
Paris conference sanctioned the pla1
for a permanent high council of thu
entente powers for future conduct o
the war. The increasing cooperation
among the entente allies and thu
necessity for bringing into service
Italy's surplus of troops gradual!
brought Italy into such a position tina
it became evident declaration o
hostilities against Germany was Ger
tain.
The final step was the sending O
Italian troops to Saloniki. Italy ant
Germany severed diplomatic relations
last year.
Italy's action probably will have
little effect in the military situation
in the immediate future, although al
the war goes on it may have more
important bearing.

PLANS TO REDUCE
FERTILIZER COST
Special Agents Will Investigate Flor
ida Peat Beds With View to
Utility Possibilities.

Washington, Aug. 14.-What prom
ises to be an important undertaking
in the reduction of the cost of fer
tilizers and at the same time some
thing that will furnish explosives to
the government at a reduced cost,
has Just been launched here by Con-
gressman Frank Clark of Florida.
A day or two ago Robert Ransom
and others of st. Augustine came to
Washington to see what could be
done toward developing peat depos-
its in Florida. Immediately Mr..
Clark got in touch with Congressman
Lever, chairman of the house COM
mittee an agriculture, and Congress-
man Dent of Alabama, who will soon
be the chairman of the military af-
fairs committee, and explained the
situation to them. Then officials of
the department of agriculture were
seen, and as result of Mr.. Clark's
wark two special agents will at once
90 to Florida to make an inspection
of the fields.
Mr.. Lever assured Mr.. Clark that
the agricultural appropriation bill OF
this year carried sufficient amount
to cover the cost of these investiga.
tions. If this peat can be put on the
market, as those behind the move
ment believe, it viii mean a saving
of not les sthan 80, per cent, in the
cost of fertilizers, while at the same
time, assuring the war department
of an ample supply of explosives, a
a reduced cost at al times.

GAINS FOR RUSSIANS ALONG
SERETH AND LIPA RIVERS

The Austrians and Germans In
Galicia are still falling back before
the advance of the Russians, who, &C
cording to Petrograd, have made ad,
ditional gains along the Sereth and
Zlota Lipa rivers and have captured
the strongly fortified town of Tusto-
baby, northwest of the Dniester. On
the upper Sereth, however, the Teu-
tonic Allies at some points on their
newly formed line are holding back
the Russians with a vigorous artil-
lery fire. .
Berlin says that south of Brody,
on the Lub and Graberka sectors,
Russian attacks were put down with
heavy losses and that Russians who
had penetrated Teutonic positions on
the Zboroff- -Konjucay line, north
east of Tarnopol, later were driven
out and 800 Of them taken prisoners.
According to Vienna a Russian at
tack southwest of Podkamien, near
Brody, ended with the field before
the Austro-German positions covered
with Russian dead.
No change took place Monday
along either the British or French
lines in France, bad weather hinder
ing the operations, which were con-
fined almost exclusively to artillery
duels. According to Berlin, the
British have been expelled from
trenches over q front of 700 yards
southwest of Thiepval- -Pozieres Sec
tor, which they occupied Sunday.
On the Isonzo front, according to
Rome, the Italians have made still
further advances against the Aus
tians along the Carso plateau and
east of Hill 212, where another line
of trenches was penetrated and more
men taken prisoner. In the Gorilla
sector, Rome says the Austrian guns
are being busily employed against
the Italians. Here, according to Vi
emma, seven charges by the Italians
were put down by the Austrians.
P"troerad reports a continuation
of the Turkish offensive on the Per-
sian frontier, but asserts that re-
treat of the Turks has been forced
on the southwest bank of Lake Van,
Turkish Armenia, through the fire of
the Russian flotilla on the lake.
