Fruit and Melons Meet With
Good Demand at Tacoma

Tacoma - Large consignments OF
fruit and melons are arriving in Ia
coma this week from California and
Yakima districts, and the demand is
almost as great as the supply. Peaches
and cantaloupes lead in popularity
among the fruit and melons, while
Yakima tomatoes are the most popular
vegetables being received. The end of
the season for red raspberries and To-
ganberries is at hand, but small re-
ceipts are still daily occurrence.
Yakima cantaloupes are fast replac-
ing the California product, although
the latter are of better quality. The
Yakima cantaloupes are small and are
little green yet. Elbertas are off
the market at present, the California
crop having gone and the Yakima crop
being as yet unripe. A few Elbertas
may arrive the latter part of the week.
There is scarcity of Slappy and Early
Crawford peaches on the market, but
plenty of clingstone varieties. Pears,
plums and grades are meeting with
good demand. Gravenstein eating ap-
Piles are hard to get and their scarcity
makes the price high. There are
plenty of cooking apples.
Sweet potatoes are selling well
Green corn continues scarce and high
Cucumbers are plentiful and cheap
Butter holds its advance to 81 cents

ITALY DECLARES
| WAR ON GERMANY
Formal Action Against Kaiser Result Of
Pressure by Allies.
MILITARY PHASE UNCHANGED
Both Countries Have Been Drifting
Steadily Toward Break Troops

Rome-Italy Sunday declared war on
Germany.
Italy and Germany have been drift

tion became inevitable when Italy re-

operate in the campaign of the entente
allies on the Macedonian front, as Ger
many is directing the opposing forces
and has troops on this battle line.
Italy's position in regard to Ger
many has been an anomalous one since
Italy withdrew from the Triple ALI
ance May 23 of last year and declared
war on Austria. Although by this act
she arrayed herself against her former
allies, Germany and Austria, she re-
mained officially at peace with Ger
many until Sunday.
Before Italy took this step Germany
exerted every effort to induce her to
remain neutral, sending to Rome as an
ambassador Prince Won Buelow. The
prince for some time averted war be-
tween Austria and Italy, and when he
saw a rupture was inevitable took
steps toward preservation Of an official
peace between Germany and Italy.
He negotiated a special agreement I'M
der which, in case of war between
Austria and Italy, Germany and Italy
pledged themselves to respect the
properties and lives of their respective
subjects in one another's domains.
According to unofficial reports from
Europe, Italy's allies were dissatisfied
and at the Paris council of entente
powers in February last asked the ltal-
ian representatives why their nation
was not at war with Germany. Italy
already had agreed not to conclude a
separate peace and at the Paris con-
ference sanctioned the plan for per-
manent high council of the entente
powers for future conduct of the war.
The increasing cooperation among
the entente allies and the necessity
for bringing into service Italy's sur
plus of troops gradually brought Italy
into such a position that it became
evident a declaration of hostilities
against Germany was certain.
The first overt act in this direction
occurred shortly after the Paris confer
ence, February 20, when Italy requi-
STONED "a of the 81 German steam
ships interned in Italian ports to help

U. S. Fleet Sunk" Enemy
Lands Army on Long Island

Washington, D. C. - The greatest
war game ever undertaken by the
American navy ended Sunday with a
victory for Admiral Mayo's cred"
fleet, which, theoretically, wiped out
the defending "Blue" fleet and landed
an invading army at Far Rockaway
Beach, Long Island.
Rear-Admiral Knight, acting as UNI
pire, announced the result in this re-
port to the navy department:
"Maneuver completed. Red and
Blue bodies engaged $3.50 to 1890, 10
miles south of Ambrose Lighthip. Blue
decisivley defeated. Red gaining COM
mand of sea. Red effects landing at
Fort Rockaway and secures base"
The final report followed one an
nouncing that Rear-Admiral Helms
"Blue" defending fleet virtually had
been annihilated in a dramatic fight
off Scotland Lightship at the entrance
to the New York harbor. With the
exception of few light craft, the en-
tire "Blue" fleet was sunk. The
full extent of the "Red" losses was
not known, although early reports
showed that they included the super
dreadnaughts Nevada and Texas snc
two destroyers.

Last Chance TO Avert Strike Appears
To Lie in Action Of Congress

Washington, D. C.-President Will
sons negotiations for averting the
threatened nationwide railroad strike
are in the last stage with break or a
settlement apparently not far off.
With the railway executives standing
firm against conceding the eight-hour
day and the brotherhood leaders still
standing out against arbitrating it,
the hope of preventing a tie-up of the
country's transportation syst m
seemed to lie with congress.
Just exactly what can be done, none
of the congressional leaders themsel-
YES seem to know. Conferences
among them and with President Will
son, which began Sunday night, were
continued Monday.
The situation was viewed on all
sides as the most perilous since the ne
gotiations began two weeks ago. The
hope of the President and administers
tion leaders was in the possibility Of
getting the brotherhood men to give
more time to continue the negotia-
tions.
1t is reliably reported that the strike
order which the chairmen carried in
sealed envelopes when they left Wash
ington Monday, is to enter into effect
on September a, unless an agreement
should be reached prior to that date.
The four brotherhood heads issued
statement replying to President Rea
of the Pennsylvania, who made an an
nouncement that rather than give W
to arbitration the roads preferred tt
face strike. The statement charges
the Pennsylvania with inconsistency IL
that two years ago it fought the ef
forts of its shopmen to organize AM
arbitrate. 1t also declared that as tn
controlling interest in five small road
it has refused them representation o.
the managers conference committee
and that If arbitration were agreed up
on it would apply to these roads.

New Zealand is to feature in the ex-

and the famous old tiipper bark Antiope
has been fixed to load cargo at Tina
ru for South America. This. 1t is said,
will be the first wheat cargo shipped
from New Zealand to an oversee port
for many years. The scarcity of bot
toms is indicated by the fact that the
Antiope, built in 1866. should be book
ed for handling wheat. The Antiope
was sold in 1914 to New Zealand coal
company to be converted into a hulk.
