GERMAN SUBMARINE
SURPRISE TO OWNE[ s
DEUTSCHLAND TRAVELLED 4.20O
MILES ON HER HOMEWARD
VOYAGE.

London.-Reports OF the return of
the German submarine Deutschland
from the United States are corrObo-
rated in telegram received at Am
sterdam from Bremen. as forwarded
by Reuters correspondent.
According to this information, the
Deutschland Travelled 1920 miles on
her homeward voyage At the begin
ming the sea was tempestuOuS, but la
ter it became more calm. The Deutsch
land proved to be able to navigate
the stormy seas eXcellently. Her en-
gines worked faultlessly. No ice
bergs were passed on the journey.
The American government, says the
dispatch acted in correct manner as
neutral, vigorously enforcing re-
spect for its frontier from British and
French warships by the employment
of its own men of war
After British cruiser entered
Chesapeake Bay at night more effec-
tive measures were taken to en-
force neutrality No less than eight
British warships, it is said were on
the alert, surrounded by numerous
small American vessels which had
been chartered for the purpose Of
placing nets and obtaining informa-
ton as to the movements of the
Deutschland. Nevertheless the sub
marine succeeded in leaving undetect-
ed. A distance of 100 miles was ira
versed under water without difficulty
The Deutschland returned home
slightly damaged. according to an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
The Hauge, which says this infOrma-
ton is contained in a telegram from
Bremen. The members of the crew
were unwilling, it adds, to give de-
tails of the return voyage.
The arrival of the submarine sur
prised her owners, as she was not ex-
pected to dock within a week.

dsprove Republican charges Of Dem
Ocratic extravaganza and Senator
SmoOt, Republican finance expert, as
sorting that the Democratic party
should be convicted of attempting to
procure votes under false pretenses,
general debate on the $205, 100000
emergency revenue bill began in the
Senate
There were indications on every
hand of a partisan battle royal to be
waged for several days.
Insisting that national defense, pre-
paredness and the Mexican situatitn
were altogether responsible forassAss
necessity of special revenue legisA-
ton and proposed bond issue. Senator
Simmons declared Republicans In
Congress had clamored for even great:
er expenditures for defense, and, hav-
ing done this, were seeking partisan
advantage by making false charges Of
Democratic extravaganza to the pub

Senator Smoot, opening the Repub-
lican assault on the revenue bill, said
if the Democratic party were to be
retained in conh oil Of the government
the country would suffer an era OF
unequaled extravaganza confined
with inefficiency unsurpassed His
attack was supported by Senator Cur

To prove his contention that nor

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT HAS
AROUSED GREAT ENTHU-
SlASM AT ROME.
CROWDS PARADING STREETS
Italys Position Has Been Anomalous
Since She Withdrew From the
Alliance and Declared War
on Austria.

!. Rome-Baron Sonnino, minister Of
foreign affairs, announces that Italy
considers herself in a state of war
g,esIth Germany.
" The official announcement Of a
Estate of war between Italy and Ger
many has aroused great enthusiasm
here. Cheering crowds are parading
the streets, applauding the govern
ment's decision.
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war In fact
Italy's formal declaration amounts to
little more than official recognition Of
a state of affairs which already ex-
listed, The declaration became inevi-
table when Italy recently sent troops
to Saloniki to cooperate in the cam
paign on the Macedonian front, as
Germany is directing the forces and
has troops on the battle line.
Italy's position has been anomal-
Gus since she withdrew from the tri-
pie alliance and declared war on
Austria. Although by this act she ar
rayed herself against her former al
lies, Germany and Austria, she re-
manned officially at peace with Ger
many until recently. Germany exert
ed every effort to induce her to re-
main neutral sending to Rome as am
bassador Prince Won Bueow, one Of
the ablest statesmen Of Germany.
The prince for some time averted
the war between Austria and Italy,
and when he saw rupture was inevl-
table 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. This meant for Germany a
guarantee of many millions of dollars
worth of properties in Italy and for
Italy the safety Of 10000 Italian sub
jects in Germany
According to unofficial reports,
Italy's allies were dissatisfied and
asked the Italian representatives at
the Paris entente conference why
their nation was not at war with Ger
many. Italy already had agreed not
to conclude separate peace and at
the Paris conference sanctioned the
plan for a permanent high council of
the entente powers for future conduct
of the war The increasing co-opera-
ton among the entente allies and the
necessity for bringing into service
Italy's surplus of troops, which could
not be employed on the other fronts
without bringing on war with
Germany, gradually brought Italy into
such position that it became evident
a declaration Of hostilities against
Germany was only matter of time.

Some rice planters OF Louisiana are
protesting against reports that the
rice crop will be a bumper one this
year Instead they declare the crop
is falling from 10 to Is per cent be
low expectations.
An Illustration Of this is given in
a letter received by p +. St Martin
Of New Orleans, one of the best known
and largest rice planters in the state,
from his son, A. +. St. Martin, who is
operating the Providence plantation
at Taft, ST Charles parish. This let
ter was received and reads:
From what we learn on all sides
the yield is very disappointing, two
to three sacks below expectations.
We think chat YOU should sell no
more good rice below $3.50. We Will
not reach G,000 bags ard Will finish
soon if it does not rain"
Mr. st Martin stated that he had
expected at least 1000 bags. and the
report that his crop would not reach
5000 illustrated fully that louisiana $
crop was far from being the big crop
reported. The quality Of the rice.
however, he states, is unusually ok
cellent.

Of the largest in the state, and has
