ALLEGES GREEK
SOLD CIGARETTES

Upon a warrant sworn out by Pro-
baton Officer Pinney, Theodore Gee
ker was placed under arrest Satur-
day night, charged with selling cigar
cites to a minor. Geeker claimed he
did not furnish the boy with cigar
cites, and will probably fight the case
when it comes to an issue.
It was stated that a small boy had
succeeded in buying a package Of
cigarettes at some point on Palafox
street, and a citizen is said to have
furnished information to that effect
to the probation officer. The boy also
stated that he had bought the cigar
cites, but was not quit ESQ sure, In
his own mind, just at what store the
purchases were made.

TWO DESTROYERs
IN SERIOUS CRASH
THE MONAGHAN, WHICH JUST
LEFT PENSACOLA, CoLLIDED
WITH THE ROE AND CAME
NEAR SINKING.

Messages yesterday from Key West
stated that the destroyer Monaghan,
which had recently been in Pensacola
bay, and which has been ordered to
join the fotilla at Key West, had
struck the Roe, another destroyer, the
Monaghan settling in the water.
A special from Key West tells Of
the accident as follows:
1.-THE torpedo boat Roe smashed
into the torpedo boat Monaghan at
the Government dock Saturday, caus-
ing the Monaghan to settle.
"The Monaghan was lying at the
dock with her stern projecting out.
The captain of the Roe did not rea-
lie the speed at which his boat was
coming into the dock and the Monae-
han was struck about 40 feet from
the. stern below the water line.
"The Monaghan's supplies are be-
ing taken of and all oil is being
pumped out to tighten her. The Roe's
bow was dented in about SIX feet"

Would Break Relations.

There has been strong agitation in
Italy for some time for the breaking off
of all relations with Germany The
curious situation caused by Italy being
at war with Austria while nominally at
peace with Germany was emphasized by
an agreement between Rome and Ber-
lin, wherein all rights of the citizens of
one country domiciled in the other were
to be respected. July 16 this agreement
was denounced by Italy on the ground
it was not being observed by Germany.
At the great council Of the entente
powers held in Paris last February the
Italian representatives were pressed for
an explanation as to why Italy had not
declared war on Germany. February 90
Italy requisitioned thirty-four German
ships which were interned in Italian
ports. AS a similar action by Portugal
had promptly called forth an ultimatum
from Berlin, which was followed by a
declaration of war, it was confidently
expected that the same sequel would fol-
low in regard to Italy. AS far as is
known, however, Wilhelmstrasse did not
even make protest. If war is now de-
clared Italian tyoops may be sent to the
western front, according to the expecta-
tions expressed in London and Paris.
