easy task because the enemy laid out
his positions long ago, so he is able
to defend them with groups of picked

which they invariably obey to the let

are now endeavoring to solve the
problem of using italian ports to their
fullest capacity. Henceforth, goods
shipped to Italy must be discharged at
Italian, instead of French ports.
1T is imperative that we do this in
order to relieve congested traffic con-
ditions on the French roads. To put
the plan into effect, the Mediterranean
must be made safe from submarines.

should also close the Adriatic and pre-

passed to the allies. he declared.

Boys Don't Bother Watermelon

Grown Men Cause Great Dam
age Along Kaw Valley.
GUARDS OUT WITH SHOTGUNS
Drastic Move to Protect Farms

One Ad in State Journal Smokes
Out Mature Victims.

Watermelon raids, to a certain ex-
tent, are expected from the barefoot
boy overflewing with the stories of
the wild and woolly west. But for
grown men, and boys of eighteen and
nineteen years, such depredations are
unexpected for the reason that men
of this age should know better,
A statement covering these points
was made at the State Journal office
this morning by ]. C. Banta, a promi-
nent melon grower north of the city.
Banta said that following his adver-
tisement in the State Journal offering
a reward for the persons who had

bad been caught in the melon patches.
SOME of these men paid damages to
escape the publicity of arrest and a
court trial
But the threatened arrest of these
fifteen men has not stopped the raids,
Banta said today. 1t is absolutely
necessary. he stated, that he and other
melon growers hire a corps of guards
to watch the patches thru the nights.
Banta said that the guards are armed
with shotguns.
Couldn't Wait for Ripening.
Speaking of the destruction the men
have caused in their raids. on the
melon patches ear the city, Banta
asserted that the forays began very
early in the year before the melons
were ripe. The men, he said, tramped
thru the patches il search of the rare
melon which was ripe, and on their
way stepped on the vines between the
forming melons and the parent vine.
The least injury to one of the stalks
means the death of the melon on that
stalk, Banta said, and as a result there
are thousands of melons in the patches
which will never ripen and are fit for
nothing but hog feed.
Banta asserted that in his case alone
the loss was not less than $500 from
the results of the needless tramplins
to death of his melons. Up until to-
day, not a single nan under IS years
old has been caught in the patches,
according to Banta. He says that the
efforts to catch the raiders will go
on unabated and that those caught
will be turned over to the sheriff for
prosecution.

in a new peace offensive of the central
powers, is expected in the diplomatic

Reports are arriving from various
sources of political manipulations in
Alsace and Lorraine which would in
dicate that the Germans in desperate
attempts to end the war without a
military decision, might agree to
plebiscite in the lost provinces"
Huns Plan a Trap.
It is believed Germany will make an
open proposition, but will attach such
conditions to it as would put the mat
ter entirely under her control and as
sure a favorable verdict for Berlin.
Italian Czech-Slovak advices point
to the activities of Austria toward the
Germanization of the Tyrolean prov
inces. The CZecho-Slovak national
council has word of the removal from
office of DR.. Conci, Italian deputy
governor of Tyrol. because he partici-
pated in the conference of oppressed
nationalities at Prague, May Is.
It is considered probable that ex-
cuses will be found by the Austrians to
remove all officers of italian blood
from power in Tyrol that loyal Haps-
burg organization may be effected for
political operations following defeat of
the central powers.

MEXICO IS PERT
When Britain Protests Against
Oil Decree.
Tells England 1t Is None of Her
Business.

Mexico City, Aug. 14.-Replying to
a protest from Great Britain against
the provisions of the oil decree of
February %, which was declared to be
confiscatory and in violation of the
rights of English companies holding
oil claims, the Mexican government
has declared that it does not recognize
the right of any foreign government
to protest against DEGREES of this ma
tUre. 1t holds that by virtue of its
sovereign rights the Mexican govern
ment is free to adopt such fiscal legis-
lation as is necessary. 1t suggests
that recourse to the court would be the
proper method of determining wheth-
er the oil land decree is unjust and
confiscatory
