Rome, May 21—Italy’s ultimatum
to Germany and Austria is confi
dently looked for today, and it is ex
pected that a declaration of war will
bo made tomorrow. The streets arc
filled with people singing national
songs, and the red shirts of the

war is going to be more than a sum
mer picnic, but are apparently ready
to faee whatever fate the future
may have in store for them. It is
generally believed by the military
authorities that Germany and Austria
acting in conjunction will attempt to
smash Italy's army by a scries of
swift blows. The Italian fleet has

DIFFERENCE SMALL
SAYS ONE GERMAN
Berlin,—The Presse says the dif
ference between the German gov
ernment and President Woodrow Wil
son over the rights of neutrals is
not great if ono takes into account
the note that the Gorman government
sent to neutral nations last Tuesday,
before the announcement of the Pres
ident’s note. This note said that
submarine commanders bad been
specifically instructed not to harm
neutral vessels not engaged in hos
tile nets, and that Germany would pay
for damages to such ships in the war
zone.
Neutral ships carrying contraband
will be dealt with, the announce
ment says, according to the rules if
naval warfare. If neutral ships are
accidently damaged in the war zone
Germany will express its regret and
pay damages without prize court pro
ceedings.
In previous communications Ger
many has disclaimed responsibility
for any harm that might befall neu
tral vessels venturing Into the war
zone.
Covers Gulflight and Cushing
The German paper says this note
would cover the ease of Fho Gulf
mr
light and Gushing and many of the
complaints of the Dutch. Danish,
Norwegian and Swedish complaints.
Tt leaves as a point of difference be
tween President Wilson and Germany
tho case of the Lusitania and the
Falnlia where citizens of neutral
nations are killed on Hhips of bellig
eicnt countries. In the ease of the
Lusitania, it says, tthe Gorman offi
cers of the submarine had every right
to believe the ship was not far dis
tant from the shore, would remain n
float long enough to remove the pas
sengers to a place of safety.

DANGER OF FIRES
The forest fires raging at Haines
anil vicinity, reminds us that when
there are periods of dry weather there
is always great danger of forest fires.
Large areas of forest, public and
private, are destroyed each year
by fires. This destruction is an in
jury to everyone and is a great dan
ger. especially in all mountain coun
tries where a regular flow of streams
is of vital importance. It is also
well at this time that the attention
of the public bo called to certain
laws passed by congress which for
bid:
1st. The setting of fires in the
■woods, and
2nd. Forbid leaving camp fires
and others without first extinguish
ing them.
This law also provides a maximum
punishment in a fine of $5,000, or im
prisonment, or both, if a fire is set
maliciously, and a fine of $1,000, or
imprisonment, or both, if a fire re
sults from carelessness. This law al
so provides that the money from
such fines be. paid to the school fund
of the country in which the offence
is committed. It is unfortunate that
people will be so careless as to leave
fires without extinguishing them and
thereby cause the loss of valuable
timber which cannot be restored for
centuries, and the destruction of
homes as well. It is therefore, sug
gested that since so many fires start
from neglected camp fires the public
be requested as follows:
1. Do not build a larger fire than
you need.
2. Do not build your fires in dense
masses of pine leaves, duff, and other
combustible material where the fire
is suro to spread.
3. Do not build your firos against
largo logs, especially rotten logs,
where it requires much more work
and time to put out the fire than
you are willing to expend, and where
you are rarely quite certain that the
fire is really completely extinguished.
4. In windy weather and danger
ous places, dig a fire hole and clear
off a place to secure your fire.
5. Every camp fire should be com
pletely put out before leaving camp.
6. Do not build fires to clear off
land and for other similiar purposes
without first taking the precaution
to see that the fire will not spread
to the surrounding timber.
