GARIBALDI THREATENS REVOLUTION
PARIS, Feb. 17.—General Garibaldi, head of the
famous family, declares that if Italy does not enter the
war on the side of the allied powers an Italian re\ olution
will break out. He and his supporters are strenuously
working to prevail on the Italian government to declare
war on Austria and he says that a very large proporation
of the Italian pepole favor it. He has lost two gallant
young sons who died fighting in the ranks of the army of
the French republic and France will never forget it.
REFUSES TO AID SLAUGHTER
PITTSBURG. Feb. 17—The Electro-Steel Company
of this city has refused point blank to bid on a half a mil
lion contract to manufacture shells for the British govern
ment. In declining to put in a bid the company states that
it refuses for humanitarian reason alone. Conscience, it
says, forbids it to take any part whatever in supplying
either side in the great conflict with the means of taking
human life.
BRITAIN STANDS PAT
LONDON, Feb. 17.—It is stated by government offi
cials that the government will stand by its decision in mat
ters relating to food shipments in spite of Germany’s de
claration that she will open war on all merchant ships if
the British do not permit cargoes of foodstuffs to pass
through to German ports. This nation is determined to
prevent food from reaching Germany as far as possible
and the official British believe that the enemy can be hit
far harder by this means than he is willing to admit.
EXCHANGE WOUNDED
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 17.—The exchange of wounded
prisoners by the different belligerents has been commenc
ed according to the agreement arrived at recently at the
request of the pope. The men to be exchanged are those
who are incapacitated for further military service. They
amount to tens of thousands of men who will by the ex
change be placed under the care of their relatives. The
exchange is regarded as the brightest incident of the aw
ful war up to the present.
CANADA WANTS WATCH KEPT
OTTAWA. Feb. 'The Dominion government has
formally requested the government of the United States
to guard all the railroad approaches to the American
boundary. Information has been secured which leads to
the suspicion that plots are being hatched in the United
States by Germans which have for their object attacks on
Canadian territory. It is even stated, but not by any offi
cials, that secret German societies are contemplating a
raid in force on Canada. By the United States govern
ment watching the rail approaches to the border on the
United States side it is expected that no considerable
force of the enemy could succeed in crossing. For the
first time in a century the border between the two count
ries has large forces on guard and ready.
PANAMA, Feb. 12.—With the be
ginning of the dry weather which
lasts until May, the baseball season
on the Canal Zone began in earest
with the formation of a new eight
team league. All the players are
ether employes of the Panama Canal
or enlisted men in the various military
organizations stationed on the Isth
mus. Already a number of games
have been played, enough to show that
the teams are very evenly matched
and that the race for the pennant like
ly will prove a very close and inter
esting one. The games are usually
played on Sundays and holidays, a
regular schedule having been pre
pared.
Eevry team is pledged to refrain
from professional practices, and bet
ting on the games is absolutely forbid
den by the Panama Canal Government
which wll dismiss any one from its i
servces found guilty of doing so
Immediately after the formation of
the new league Col. George W. Goeth
als, governor of the Panama Canal,
announced that he would not only
present the winning team of the seas
on with a handsome pennant, but
would also give various valuable
prizes to individual players.
CHRISTIAN IA, Feb. 12.—The war
has filled the Anarctc with whales, ac
cording to the belief of some whalers
who say mines, torpedoes and shells
in the North sea have driven the
mammals in scvhools further north
this winter. One of the large Nor
distributed a dividend of 25 per cent
among shareholders on this season's
cathch. The whale oil refineries of
Norway are sharing this prosperity.
While the whales are bringing
wealth to Norway, the report of the
department of agriculture is disap
pointing as to the amount of corps
yield, which falls about $2,000,000 be
low the average year. Fortunately,
the quality of grain has been unusual
ly good, and the higher price due to
the war is to the advantage of the
[ farmers. The economic loss, however,
' will be felt by the country. Hay and
j potatoes were the only crops reaching
j their normal yield.

Some papers declare that Secretary
Lano has gone to San Francisco to re

take some days also before the titles
