Secretary Lansing today authorized
the statement that so far no communi.
cation has been sent to Germany, but
he declined to say whether any in.
structions have been sent to Ambassa-
dor Gerard at Berlin and made no ex.
planation Of the delay in the announce
ment of the course Of the United
States.
The new submarine crisis seemed
to have resolved itself into another
delay of waiting. Tonight or tomor-
row, it is generally supposed, the Am
erican people will know what steps
their government will have taken in
reply to Germany's declaration of un-
restricted warfare.
Officials here generally believe that
a diplomatic break must be the ulti-
mate development. In the meantime,
It Is believed, some steps must be
taken to alleviate possible hardships
for the three thousand Americans who
are now in Germany. Doubtless, IL
there is to be rupture, an effort will
be made to get them into Holland or
other neutral territory.
The German embassy, expressing
confidence, continues officially silent.
The entente embassies feel that the
new submarine campaign, no matter
how ruthless, cannot exceed the others
in damage done.
The first act Of Count TSnowski
the newly arrived Austrian ambassa.
dor, was to confer with Count Bern,
storff, the German ambassador.
The only note of dissent from gen
eral opinion thai Wilson was prepar
ing for drastic action, came from the
groups in the capitol, which has been
urging peace on the president They
professed to believe that Wilson'S
first step VIII be bold stroke tOl
peace. The peace supporters believe
that every effort will be made to main
tain relations with Germany rather
than to break them. This view, how
ever, was wholly opposite from tina
of officials who ought to know the aG
ministration's disposition.

from Gorilla the Germans have cap
tured the town of Commons, 10 miles
to the southeast of Udine. and the
entire Italian line southwark to the
head of the Adrihtic is reported to
be in retreat.
In addition to the wedges driven
into the Italian frbnt in the east and
northeast, the Teuton allies have
started third Wedge in the north
through Ploecken pass, their hope
being to cut off the retreat of the
greater portion of General Cadorna' S
armies moving west and southwest.
The Italian commander in chief.
however, reports that his men are
checking the advance in this region.
Evidently the weakness among the
Italians has been entirely overcome,
as Cadorna says that all movements
ordered by the general staff now are
being carried out in regular order and
that the Italians are fulfilling their
duty by keeping in check the en-
emy's advance int b the plains.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: With the
steadily widening influence of the
war, business encounters many new
problems and obstacles and not all
reports regarding it's condition are of
the same tenor. But with the main
trend continuing in the right direc-
tion there are more points of gain
than of loss in the general situation
and the position of trade and indus
try has noa been measured by the
recent action of the securities mar
kets
Where the outlook has been made
clearer by the partial or complete re.
moval of doubts about commodity
prices there has come an immediate
strengthening of sentiment and some
revival of activity, and where other
uncertainties have been lessened or
eliminated progress has been re.
sumed with vigor.
Yet of the competitive and excited
bidding which was so conspicuous
feature year ago there is now a
wholesome absence and it is highly
reassuring that, while many buyers
operate more freely and with great.
err confidence, conservation shows NO
abatement

PLAN BIG PARADES
FOR APPLE SHOW
Four Spectacular Events To Be Feat
ured at Spokane Exhibition
in November.

Four big feature parades, each dis
tinctly different from the others, will
be the principal street attraction dur
ing the National Apple Show in Spo-
kane November 1924. A dominant note
of patriotism, appropriate to the war
time spirit of the hour, will be empha-
sized in all of the street demonstra-
tions
The first parade will be held on the
when the high schools of the city with
their own bands, marching clubs, floats
and specially features will own the
main streets. 1t is expected 1000 pu
pills will take part. In former years the
high school students have made the
entire city sit up and take notice be-
cause of the original features worked
out and deliberately staged on the
opening day. The schools of the city
will close at noon to give pupils an
opportunity to welcome King Pip.
A novelty parade is planned for the
second night when golfing clubs will
form a procession under the direction
and society leader. He has enlisted
the cooperation of all golfing enthusi-
asts, both men and women. They will
wear a variety of costumes and prom
Use some startling innovations in fam
tastic garb. Japanese lanterns will be
carried at the end of golf sticks by
each marcher. The golf bug will be
much in evidence. Most of the feat
ures of this parade are being worked
out in secret to surprise the specta
tors Society people are taking a live
ly interest in this event.
The biggest parade Of the week will
be held Thursday night 1t will be his
toric and patriotic, illustrating scenes
from American history beginning with
the landing of Columbus and extending
through to the present day. Instead
of soliciting floats to be prepared by
the several stores and societies, the
committee in charge has arranged that
each line of business shall have a rep
resentative float, the various mer-
chanst pooling their funds for this
purpose All of the floats are being
built under the direction of the parade
committee which assigns the subjects
to be represented and takes full re-
sponsibility for construction. The re-
suit expected is beautiful harmonious
spectacle. Only organizations In COM
plete costumes or uniforms will be
permitted in the procession.
Burlesque will be in order Saturday
night when comedy parade will be
held Everything of serious or artis-
tic nature is barred. Music will be
furnished by several Jazz" bands,
Spectators along the line of march are
to be warned that Mardi Gras liber-
ties will be taken, all in spirit OF
frolic and frivolity. The leading feat
ures at other parades during the week
will be reproduced on this night in
burlesque style.
| In addition to the four scheduled
feature parades there will be band con.
certs on the streets daily, also demon
STATIONS appropriate to the special
events for the various days. The
National Apple Show Military band
organized by Bandmaster F. l.. Sim
mons, has been engaged for the con
certs.
