WAR ON JILL SIDES
ITALY’S PARTICIPATION IN WAR
WILL SURROUND AUSTRIA.
ROMANIA MAY JOIN ALLIES
Teutonic Allies Are Making Supreme
Effort to Crush Russia—Serb
Army Reorganized.
London.—A state of war now vir
tually exists between Italy and its
former allies, Austria and Germany.
Austrian troops have been with
drawn from some of the frontier
posts and all navigation services in
the Adriatic have been suspended. An
indication that the clash is not far
off is seen in the fact that the Italian
senate endorsed the action of the
chamber in granting the government
extraordinary powers in the event of
war, for which the whole country ap
pears to be enthusiastic.
Serbs March On Austria.
Simultaneously with the advent of
Italy into the war, Serbia's recon
structed army has fully recovered
from the campaigns which resulted
in the Austrians being driven from
Serbia and well armed and equipped,
it is announced, have commenced a
march toward the Austrian border,
bent on another invasion of Austrian
territory.
Thus Austria is being attacked
from all sides and has still another
enemy, Roumania. in prospect, but
it has been an open secret for a long
time that Italy and Roumania have an
agreement to act in concert. Rou
mania. however, is awaiting the con
clusion of an agreement with Greece
and Bulgaria, which also are expected
to join the allies.
Effort to Complete Defeat.
These anticipations explain the tre
mendous efforts that Austria and
Germany are making to complete the
defeat of the Russians, who. having
been forced out of western Galicia
and the Carpathians, now are offering
stubborn resistance to the further ad
vance of the Teutonic allies behind
the San'river and around Prezemysl.
Although the Germans have crossed
the San north of Prezemvsl and the
Austrians have advanced to the south
east of that town, they appear at last
to have been brought to a halt.
Austrian Trooos on Border.
Chiasso, Switzerland.—Information
reaching the Italian frontier is to the
effect that there are large accumula
tions of Austrian troops in the upper
valley of the Adige river and the
Schulden valley, coming from Inns
bruck and also at Glurns. They are
accompanied hv many German offi
cers.
Mass Field Guns at Close Range.
Petrograd.—The firing of between
two and three million Austrian and
German shells on the comparatively
short front north of Przemysl, in
Galicia, gives some idea of the ex
treme violence of the operations
along the San river front, by means
of which the Germans hope to estab
lish themselves firmly on the right
br-nk of the river. Into this small
area the Germans are said to have
crowded 4,000 field guns in the
closest formation ever seen in battle
- being three times the normal num
ber of guns for such an extent of ter
ritory.
Kills Girl With Hatchet.
Omaha.—With the whole back of
her head crushed in by repeated
blows from a hatchet, Ada Swanson,
22-year-old servant girl in the home
of Joseph S. Sykes, was found in the
basement of the Sykes home, 2023
Spencer street. Near the body, which
was surrounded by a pool of blood,
lay the hatchet with which the ghast
ly deed had been committed.
That the murder was the work of
a moral pervert is the belief of those
investigating the case. Although the
clothing had not been disarranged
there were the marks of bloody
hands on the lower limbs. An-exam
ination by Coroners Physician Me
Cleneghan indicated that a criminal
assault had been made after the girl
had been struck down. Afterward
tbe murderer rearranged her cloth
ing to cover up the motive of the
crime.
Wilson Again Grandfather.
Washington.—A baby girl, the sec
ond grandchild of President Wilson,
was born to Secretary and Mrs. Wil
liam G. McAdoo. She will be christ
ened Ellen Wilson, for the late Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson.
The secretary and Mrs. McAdoo,
who is the president’s youngest
daughter, were married in the Blue
loom just a year ago.
Won’t Call Italians in U. S.
Washington.—Italians in the Unit
ed States will not be called back to
the colors unless the European war is
to continue for another year. Italian
officials here believe Italy has suf
ficient men in her home to maintain a
vigorous offensive against Austria.
Trial of Charlton July 8.
Como, Italy.—The trial of Portei
Charlton, the American charged with
having murdered his wife and cast
her body adrift in Lake Como, ha?

BUMPERWHEATCROP
BIGGEST YIELD IN STATE’S HIS
TORY IS EXPECTED.
REPORTS REACH LABOR CHIEF
Commissioner Coffey Gets Line On
Harvest Hands That Will Be
Needed Through Solons.
Lincoln.—Reports from a half a
dozen Nebraska counties received by
Labor Commissioner F. M. Coffey in
dicate farmers are expecting the
biggest wheat crop in the state’s his
lory and expecting to need farm
hands during the harvesting season.
One or two reports state the crop
vill double that of the banner year
of 1914 and that the acreage is much
larger.
Coffey asked members of the legis
lature to furnish the crop reports so
he could get a line on the number
of harvest hands needed for this
state.
Cairo reports the wheat is excel
lent and harvest hands will be paid
$2.50 a day. Beeiner reports 10 per
cent better outlook than at the same
time last year. Amherst says the
acreage is 10 per cent larger than
last year, and prospects 50 per cent
better than at the same time in 1914.
The eastern half of Buffalo county
can use 100 extra men at $2.25 per
day, the report states.
Gothenburg reports a larger acre
age than last year, with chances of
double the yield of a year ago. Two
hundred harvest hands at $2 a day
can be used. Valparaiso has the
same outlook as last year, the report
states, with the farmers needing fifty
more men at $2 a day. Geneva reports
150 hands will be needed, with
wages at $2.50 a day.
All reports agree the harvest will
start about July 1.
Settles 3,000 Cases.
Nearly 3,000 final reports of settle
ments effected under the compensa
tion law of Nebraska, which went
into effect December 1, last, have
been made to the state labor commis
sioner’s office during the five and one
half months’ operation of the law.
This does not include the large num
ber of incomplete reports tiled. In
the final reports, complete informa
tion of the accident is given, wdth the
time lost and amount of compensa
tion. An overwhelming majority of
these reports deal with minor and
even trifling injuries, which resulted
In little ioss of time. The law dors
not allow any compensation for the
first two weeks unless the incapacity
extends over eight weeks. The re
ports show the doctors’ bills were
paid in most instances by the em
ployers regardless of the nature of
the accident.
Saving of Over a Million.
State Accountant DeFrance, who is
employed in Auditor Smith's office,
has made an exact comparison of the
appropriations of the 1913 and 1915
sessions of the legislature and finds
that the total saving of the latter in
making appropriations for the ordi
nary expense^of government was $1,
046,173.28. This does not include
school appropriations, but it does in
clude cash funds, which were not
available in previous comparisons
that have been made.
Klein Wins Debate.
Leonard W. Klein of the Blue
Springs High school, won the
state interscholastic < hampionship in
debate, when he defeated the cream
of Nebraska High schools at the dis
trict dehate held here at the state
university. The question debated
was: "Resolved, That the United
States Should Adopt Government
Owenrship and Operation of Rail
roads.”
Governor Reappoints Royse.
E. Royse has been reappointed sec
retary of the state banking board. Mr.
Royse is a republican and the admin
istration is democratic. His reap
pointment occasions no surprise, as
the governor announced some time
ago that there would be no change
in the banking department.
Dorchester Man Appointed.
I)r. J. D. Case of Dorchester lias
been appointed state health inspec
tor by the board of health. Dr. Case
succeeds Dr. \V. H. Wilson of Table
Rock, who has held the office for the
past eight years.
Auto Registration Increasing.
Instead of the automobile registra
tion decreasing after the first rush
incident to the taking effect of the
new law, it. has steadily increased.
Corn and Alfalfa Are First.
Corn and alfalfa again ranked first
in rate and cheapness of gain in the
recent experimental feeding of six
lots of steers at the agricultural ex
periment station, according to the re
sults made known at the beef pro
i ducers’ meeting held recently at the
university farm. The experiment in
dicated not only that corn and alfalfa
ranked first but that the difference
in favor of this ration is even more
marked than shown in previous ex
periments.
Proclaims May 31 Memorial Day.
For the first time in the history of
the state the governor issued a
Memorial day proclamation, made
necessary by the fact that May 30
this year falls on Sunday and that
the legal holiday goes over to Mon
day. In his proclamation, Governor
Morehead calls special attention to
the peace that exists in the United
States in contrast to conditions the
rest of the world over, and says that
it is especially fitting that the day
be universally observed this year.
