The first blow was struck today in the war between Italy and Austria-Hungary.

With thte exception of clashes between frontier patrol, no other fighting has yet been reported.

A message coming from Germany by a round-about way states that the semi-official Wolff-agency has announced that Germany has declared war on Italy.

Italy also is said to have assembled an army on the southeastern coast of the country, acrosJ the Adriatic from Albania.

Originally 60,000 disembarked. The Turkish government announces the loss of an old gunboat, sunk by'a submarine. The military situation in and Belgium is unchanged.

bTe company has opened negotiations with the Greater Muskogee association and If the proposition advanced by the company meets with tho approval of the members of the association, an alfalfa mill will at once be constructed here. Secretary Radiger of the association wi'l take, the matter up before the association Thursday night and immediate 1 action' will be taken to secure the milling company. Muskogee Is the center of a great alfalfa region and it was this fact that led tire company to seek a location here for their mUL was good for nations. The lack of the physical means of communicating between the Americas, he said, stood somowhat In the way of the development of commerce and friendship. In advpeattng more ships in Pan-American trade and the opening of new routes, the president said that If vate capital could not soon establish such means of communication, the government must undertake to do so.

At the conclusion of the president's address he was applauded again. He remained in the hall while the representatives of the different nations responded to Ms welcome. President Wilson spoae as follows: "There- ctm be no sort of "union interest it there Is purpose of exploitation on the part of any person connected with' a great conference of this sort. We are not, therefore, trying to make use of each other, but we are trying to be of use to one another. "It is very surprising to me, it is even a source of mortification, that a conference like this should have been so long delayed, that it should never have occurred before, that it should have required a crisis of the world to show the Americans how truly tbey were neighbors to one another.

If Inhere is any other happy circumstance, gentlemen, arising out of the present distressing circumstance of the world, is that it has revealed us to one another; it has shown us what it means to be neighbors. And I cannot help harboring the hope, the very high hope, that by this commerce of minds with one another as well as commerce in goods, we may show the world in part the path of peace." "It would be a very great thing II the Americas could add to the distinction they already wear, of showing the way to permanent peace. The way to peace for us, at any rate. Is manifest. It is the kind of rivalry which does not involve aggression.

It Is the kind that men can be of the greatest service to one another and, the nations or tbe greatest service to one another, when the Jealousy among them is merely a jealousy of excellence and when the basis of their intercourse is friendship. There is only one way in which we wish to take advantage of you, and that Is by making better goods, by doing tbe things we seek to do for each other better, if we can. than you do them, and so spurring you Tuba Branch on the Katy Tied Up Line Trains All Running But Riven and Creeks Are Rising Threatens to Flood Lowlands.

AEROPLANE OVER A PARIS SUBURB Paris, May aeroplane of the Taube type flew over the northern suburbs of Paris this afternoon and in Its flight dropped several bombs. No persons was injured by these missiles.

keenly aware that the basis of personal friendship is this competition in excellence that I am perfectly certain tbat this is tbe only basis (or friendship of. nations, this handsome rivalry in which there Is no dislike, this rivalry which is nothing but the common hope of elevation in great enterprises which we can undertake in common. I "There is one thing that stands in our among you are more conversant with the circumstances than 1 am. The thing I have chiefly in mind Is the physical lack of means of communication, the lack of vehicles, the lack of ships, the lack of established routes of lack of those things which are absolutely necessary if we are to have true and intimate commercial relations with one another; and I am perfectly clear in my judgment, that If private capital soon cannot enter upon the adventure of establishing these physical means of communication, the government must Undertake to do so. We cannot indefinitely stand apart and need each other for the lack of what easily can be supplied, and if one Instrumentality cannot supply it, then another must be found which will supply it.

BANK CLEARINGS. With the exception of the K. Tulsa to Muskogee train that was seven hours late all otber trains were arriving on time In Muskogee today despite the fact that streams and ravines crossed by the lines are torrents on account of the heavy rains tbat has visited the whole state In the past few days. The O. G.

latest reports show that all trains on that line are mov- delay although, along portions of the line the waters is causing some uneasiness. Tbe Frisco trains are running on time and the report from the local station says that there Is now no danger of washouts or delays on account of water unless a waterspout should happen to hit the line. Water in the Sand Springs territory in the vicinity of Tulsa is the cause Of the delay in arrival of the Tulsa train today. It is reported that much Of the track in that section Is under water, and that continued, rains threatens to put tho line out of business for a few days. The statement that no anxiety was felt for the main line of the K.

was made today by a Katy official and it is only on tbe branch line from Muskogee to Tulsa that the rains are delaying traffic. However, reports from different sections of state show that the streams are' carrying an immense lot of water. The Arkansas river into which all these streams flow Is rising steadily and at the city pump station shows a rise of four feet since Sunday morning and is rising steadily at the rate ot one and a half inches an hour. The water is leveling Itself with the east bank of the river and another rise of two or three feet will send it Into the bottom land to tbe east over the big crops of potatoes. The water on the west bank, tbat on which the city pump station and Hyde Park are located lacks but eight feet of being on a level with the first bank- However there seems to be but little uneasiness about the water reaching the pump station, at least not unless the heavy rains should continue generally.

The Katy, O. Frisco and interurban bridges, while their supports are withstanding tons upon tons of debris that has floated down the river are in no danger at this time. Men are stationed at each bridge to float the debris away from the piers, this work eliminating any danger that the bridges might be in.
