DIR. BELLS ADVICE.

CDR. Bell, what would your message
to young man who wanted to amount
to something's" James Hay, Jr., was
Bell, the interviewed. The inventor
answered slowly, and choosing his
words with care.
The young man who 'ants TO get
on he said, must pick out for him
self the thing to which he wishes to
devote his life. He must not be sway
ed by the pet ambition of his mother
Or the fond wish of his father. From
his own tastes, and, above all, from
his own enthusiasms, he must get the
motive and inspiration which is to
start him on his way to a successful
life.
''He must go farther than picking
Der that there are many professions
within one profession. Having pick
ed out his profession he must COM
plete his preparatory work by select
ing a special line within that pro-
fession.
"Now, specialization is another
word for concentration. The young
man who trains his mind to concan-
trate on a given thing has taken the
first great stride toward success.
Naturally, most young men are not
in q position to please themselves en-
tirely as to their surroundings. FIRE.
quently they have to work in offices
with other people, may be annoyed
by the confusion incident to such
surroundings and may feel that they
have been tossed into situations which
initiate against concentration.
"This, however, need not be the
case. l have known young men, ap-
rallied at first by the clatter OF in
struments in big telegraph room,
who have succeeded finally in disre-
garding the noise and in thinking as
logically and effectively there as in
their own studies in later life. 1t
seems too obvious for discussion that.
without this cultivated ability for
concentration Of ones mental powers,
success is far away.
"This, then would be my idea for
every young man: Let him decide
what profession or calling he wishes
to follow; let him take Up specifically
a certain line Of that calling, and let
MIN train his mind to concentrate

ITALY DECLARES
WAR On GERMANY
Break Follows Kings Move
Against BuIgarS.
DELIVERED THROUGH SWISS
Communication From Rome to Berlin
Announces HostiIities Will Begin
After August 28-Roumania
Ready to Fight.

Rome, Aug. 2S.-Baron SOnnino,
minister of foreign affairs, announced
that Italy considers herself in a state
of war with Germany.
The official announcement of state
of war between Italy and Germany
has aroused great enthusiasm here.
Cheering crowds care parading the
streets. applauding the governments
decision.
Diplomatic circles here expect inter-
Vention III the war by .ROumania
against the centrals empires soon.
Official Announcement.
The official announcement of Italy'S
declaration of war on Germany, as
given out here, follows:
"The italian government declares in
the name of the king that Italy con-
siders herself to be in state of war
with Germany as from August %, and
begS the Swiss government to convey
this information to the imperial Ger
man government"
Berlin, via Sayville, Aug. 2S.-An
ian government has declared, through
the Swiss government, that from Au-
gust 2S Italy considers herself at war
with Germany" The declaration has
been acknowledged formally by the
German government.
London, Aug. 2S.-DeclaratiOn of
war by Italy on Germany has been eX-
pected for several days, owing to the
fact that the Italian troops now are
fighting against Germans in Greece.
The declaration will make it posi-
BILE to employ Italian troops against
the Germans in France, if General
JOffre deems such Il measure advis-
able.
Balkans Hasten Move.
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war. In tact,
Italy'S formal declaration amounts to
little more than official recognition of
a state of affairs which already ex-
listed.
The declaration became inevitable
whef Italy recently sent troops to
Saloniki to cooperate in the campaign
of the entente allies on the Macedonian
posing forces and has troops on this
battle line.
Italy's position in regard to Germany
has been an anamOlOus one since Italy
withdrew from the triple alliance of
last year and declared war on Austria.
1of sho har.
self against her former allies, Ger
many and Austria, she remained Of
ficially at peace with Germany until
now.
According to unofficial reports from
Europe, Italy's allies were dissatisfied
and at the Paris council of entente
powers in February last asked the
Italian representatives why their ma
ton was not at war with Germany.
Itady already had agreed not to con-
clude a 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 cooperation among
the entente allies and the necessity
for bringing into service Italy's sur
plus of troops, which could not be
employed on the other fronts without
bringing on war with Germany, grad
uafly brought Italy into such a posi-
ton that it became evident a declara-
ton of hostilities against Germany
was only a matter of time.

It's a mans weakness that finally
overpowers his strength.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-16
BY PAUL H. SHANNON.

The Washington Herald's Boston Correspondent.
Boston, Mass, Aug. 15.-It took thirteen
innings of red-hot battle to send the
Griffmen down and out for the count In
the closing contest Of the year Tor
Washington at Fenway Park this after
noon, but even the great Johnson himself
had to pay tribute at last to the might
of the Boston batsmen, and the three
bits that came together In this round let
Boston win the verdict by the score OF
to 0. This was the last and most grimly
fought of all three CRANES of the series.
The trouble is that Boston could hit,
and the Nationals couldn't
Likewise it was the third time this
summer that Johnson had to bow to Bos-
toms big left-hander. Babe Ruth. In
pitching duel. Twice before this year
on the same battle-ground Ruth and
Johnson had met in opposition and In both
instances Boston won by the same score
as that of today. And Just as In pre-
vious battles, johnson had slight edge
on his southpaw opponent, but there was
not the same strength behind Washing
toms attack. as there generally Is be-
hind Boston's
For the greater part of the contest
Johnson fairly outpitched Ruth. who
was in trouble on several occasions. In
the first six frames but one clean hit
was made off Johnson, and. although
Walter opened four different innings by
passing the first man up. the runner was
never able to get beyond third Not
until the fatal thirteenth did the Red
SOx bunch their hits, but in this round
they did their deadly execution of the
afternoon.
Barry led of in this round by scratch
ing an infield hit that would have been
an easy out had Johnson let II go
/ through to Foster. he DETECTED the
bounder just enough with his glove to
allow Barry to reach base. Walter
famed Lewis and forced Hoblitzell tc
give Milan an easy chance. He pro-
badly did not apprehend much trouble
from Walker. who had been weak at
the bat all the afternoon, but. after
getting "Tillie" in the hole. he shot a
fast one at him. which ''Tillie" picked.
this sent Barry to third. he made the
mistake of allowing Gardner the next
batter to hit Larry had already found
him for a single and a triple and he
should have passed him. but he sent
one OF his speed balls over the pan,
Gardner, who is a tirst-oall hitter,
cracked 1t and as the ball dropped
safely in center the error of judgment
let the Sox win a bitterly contested YER
dict. The fielding of the Nationals was
much better than that of the locals ana
the Griffmen gave Johnson errorless
support If one may except that misplay
of Rice's in the third. which allowed
Ruth a scratchy two-bagger. Rice
tossed the ball in the sun and the official
scorer charged him with an error As
a matter of fact the ball never touched
his hands.
The Nationals had several chances
to score. but the Red Sox defense al
ways frightened in the pinch and kept
the run from coming over. Ainsmith
who was the only one of the visitors
who could hit Ruth. tried to score
from second in the tenth on an inheld
out. only to be doubled up. Rice tried
