SYMFATnIzE WITH ALLIES.
N0minally Austrians and Prisoners
They Are for the Allies.

Toxic, Aug. 3.-Thirteen natives OF
the Trentino, Carso and adjoining dis
tricts of Austria who were serving as
biuejackets on the Austrian cruiser
kaiserin Elizabeth, which was sunk
at Tsingtau, and who were taken
prisoners at the surrender of the fort
rcss, have been released by the Jap
anese authorities and are to be re-
turned to Italy.
Although nominally enemy prison
ers, all their sympathies were with the
Eentene Allies, and their relations
with the other prisoners were, in con
sequence, strained. One of the men
was discovered attempting to commit
suicide, his explanation being that
l;fe was unbearable under the condi-
tons in the camp.

 Secretary George II. Smalley of the state council of defense returned yesterday morning from. six weeks tour of the northern counties where he has been engaged, with the as- sistance of the farm advisors of the Various counties, in conducting q crop survey.
 When he went into Coconino he in ! qnired of a man who ought to know and probably did know what that county was doing year ago, the eX- tent of the agricultural acreage of that county He replied that he thought about 5000 acres. MT. Small i ey later ascertained that there are 12,000 acres under cultivation; that i there are 1000 acres of potatoes alone and that the county will shiI out not less than 450 cars of pota- 1 toes. There will also be a beautiful i OttS crop.
