President Wilson. whose name was
printed on the ballot, received total
Of 9O,35O votes, against 1852 for Sher-
man. whose name also was printed on
the ballot.
Although Colonel Roosevelt took
every precaution possible to keep his
name off the ballot, 1900 voters in
sisted upon voicing their sentiments by
writing his name upon their ballots.
This fact is accepted as still more re-
markable, since it was necessary TO
register each such expression of opin-
ion against Senator Lawrence \. Sher-
man, lllinois's favorite son.
Still another evidence of the strength
Of the Progressive leader was seen IN
the vote polled by Medill Mccormick,
vice-cbairman OF the Progressive Ma
tional Committee in 1912 and a close
confidential political friend Of Colonel
Roosevelt.
Mccormick Leads Moose.
Mccormick. solely because of his
Roosevelt affiliations, led the field as
candidate for delegate-at-large, and re-
ceived more votes than any OF the nine
candidates for the eight places.
That the Colonel is delighted at the
result IS putting it mildly. A tele-
gram TO Mr.. Mccormick, reaching here
this evening. expressed the satisfac-
ton Of Roosevelt in these words:
congratulations to the leading
candidate. Fine work! Theodore
Roosevelt"
Other kilograms and statements
that reached here indirectly from the
Colonel indicated that he values the
victory as of the greatest importance
in showing the political frame OF mind
of the rank and file Of the voters, not
only in Illinois, but throughout the
Middle West. go,
The Mccormick returns, which Is
obviously the Roosevelt vote, show
him leading the Sherman slate IN this
order: Mccormick, William J. Cal
houn. Isaac y. Evans, William Is. Me-
Kinley. William A. Rodenburg, Ma
tionai Committeeman Roy o. West,
state Chairman Garrett Kinney. Mayor
William Hale Thompson and John May
nard Harlan.
The switch OF Mr.. Harlan to the
Roosevelt fold was a spectacular one
and calculated to prove of great value
to the Colonel. But it is evident that
IL failed TO impress the voters. Be
cause Of the technicalties OF the
Illinois primary law Mr.. Harlan, who
feared that Roosevelt would disavow
him if he expressed himself officially
as favoring the Progressive for Presl-
dent, wrote mo preference" after his
name. This fact, together with the fact
that Mr.. Harlan has been involved IN
numerous political complications here
that may not be understood by the av-
erage voter, is credited with placing
him az the bottom of the list.

ITALY DECLARES
WAR ON GERMANY
CHEERING CROWDS PARADE THE
STREETS OF ROME APPLAuDING
ACTION OF GOVERNMENT
Action Forced by Landing Of
Troops at saloniki to Cooperate
in the Campaign on the
Macedonian Front.

Rome.-Italy has formally declared
war on Germany, the official declara-
tion having been made August %.
The official announcement OF state
of war between Italy and Germany has
aroused great enthusiasm here. Cheer
ing crowds paraded the streets.
applauding the governments decision.
The official announcement OF Italy's
declaration of war on Germany fol-
lows:
The Italian government declares,
in the name of the king. that Italy
considers herself TO be in a state OF
war with Germany as from August Is,
and begs the Swiss government to
convey this information to the imper'
ial German government"
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war. The decla-
ration became inevitable when Italy
recently sent troops to Saloniki to CO.
operate in the campaign OF the en-
tente allies on the Macedonian front,
as Germany Is directing the opposing
forces and has troops on this battle
lane
Italy's position in regard to Ger
many has been an anomalous one
since Italy withdrew from the triple
alliance May 20 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 Saturday. 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 price for some time averted war
between Austria and Italy and when
he saw a rupture was inevitable took
steps toward preservation of an Off
cial 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 respec-
tive subjects in each others domains.
According to unofficial reports
Italy's allies were dissatisfied and at
the Paris council Of entente powers
in February last asked the Italian rep
resentatiyes why their nation was not
at war with Germany. Italy already
had agreed not to conclude a separate
peace, and at the Paris conference
sanctioned the plan for permanent
high council of the entente powers
for future conduct of the war. The
increasing cooperation among the en-
tente allies and the necessity Tor
bringing into service Italy's surplus OF
troops, gradually brought Italy into
such a position that 1t became evident
declaration of hostilities against
Germany was certain.
Italy's action probably will have lit
tie effect in the military situation In
the immediate future, although as the
war goes on IL may have more I'M
portant bearing On the Austro-ltal
ian front Italy finds active use for
hardly more than half her army, and
in future can send available troops to
any front Having committed her
self already to the Macedonian cam
paign Italy's step is of no significance
as respects that theatre OF War.

War kIIIIno or Birds.

War has killed thousands of migrat

likely to suffer In the south OF Europe
from the lack OF insect destroyers, and
In Great Britain also there is lack OF
