Rome, July 15, via Paris, 1:45 p. m. A strong demand has arisen in the press and among the public for can ceIlation of the agreement between Italy and Germany, whereby the , rights of citizens of each country within the others domain were to be respected, violation of the agreem ent by Germany being alleged. The situa- ton is such that the relations of Italy and Germany seem to have reached a greater tension than at any time since the war began.
 Won Buelow's Agreement. eN Before leaving Rome in the spring of 1915, Prince von Buelow, then German ambassador to Italy, conclud- ed an agreement with the Italian government under which in case of war between Austria and Italy, Ger many and Italy pledged themselves to respect the properties and lives of their respective subjects. This meant, for Germany, guarantee of several million dollars worth of property in italy held by her subjects, and for Italy the safety of 3O,O0O of her citi- zens still living in Germany.
 Germany Accused.
 No state of war exists between Ger many and Italy and the agreement negotiated by Prince von Buelow is still in force. Italy according to of afcial opinion here has faithfully ob- served the agreeme enr, rerraining from touching German property and freely allowing subjects of German empire to reside here. On the other hand, Germany is unoficially accused of vio- lating the agreement in depriving Italians in Germany of their liberty of action, preventing men of military %age residing in Belgium from leaving the country, suspending payments due Italians and treating them as subjects of hostile power.
 The German foreign office has Of ficially informed the Italian govern ment through the Swiss government that payment of workingmen's pen sions due Italians has been suspended. t+ Says Agreement Is Denounced.
 The agreement has been denounced by Italy, owing to the hostile attitude of Germany, according to the Gior- nale du Italia today. No convention now exists between the two nations. the newspaper declares.

 ORE DISPLAY

The fine display of ore in the win dow of the Desert Mining X Devel- opment Co. office at 37 North First Avenue is attracting unusual atten- ton from all who have taken the time to look it over. While this ore is not running fifty to eighty per cent in copper, it is running in good per cent of copper as a whole body
 At the 325 foot level a crosscut has been run from the hanging wall side for distance of 45 feet, and the foot wall is not yet in sight. All mining men who have looked the property over are positive in their declaration that the company is drifting in a large body of disemin ating ore, and predict that it will make one. of the biggest strikes made in Arizona for some time.
 The showing on the Desert has iE- creased the holdings of those ad- joining several hundred per cent. That the mining world will have their eyes opened in the near future in the Wenden district is without question.
 The company expects too, within the next few months install a plant to handle and treat the ore at the mine. With the present equipment and the new machinery now ordered. and tha able management. this prop erty will terminate in tho neAr future tn one of the big dividend paying rropertie.1 in the state. There is no question but that the price of the stock win be raised in the near fu- ture. and now is the time to get yo',~ stock.-Adv. 1t

The large man sized caterpillar tractor owned and operated by the city. collided with a street car at Seventeenth avenue and Adams yes terday afternoon. No one was hurt, and outside the carrying away of a car ster, and the puncturing of the radiator on the tractor. there was no 1amage done.
 Both the conductor of the car. and the driver of the tractor claimed they were not to blame. The motorman stated that he rung his bell when he was q half block away from the tractor. and that when he saw the machine was not going to stop, and that . collision was inevitable, he locked his wheels and slid into close contact with the animated instruction
 The driver of the tractor said that he saw the rar coming when he was in the middle of the track. and that he immediately reversed his motor and was going backwards when he was struck His claim was born out by tracks in the mud showing where he had rolled up and then rolled back again
 The tractor and the car were wcigcd SO tightly together. that il took about fifteen minutes to get them apart
