The farmers ore victims of good

to farming have caused large crops this

in iittlng rid of tomatoes. Largo Quanti

DUltP TOMATOES IK RlVEK.
Saturday, when the Dock street com
mission merchants ended their Week's
business, they emptied great quantities of
tomatosa into the Delaware River. They
were a total loss to tho fanner and tho
middleman. ,
The consumers alone are ndt suffering
from the unusual conditions. The farmers
are, of course, tho heaviest losers. Tho
lohhers nre nnrtlne their business almost
jitfe tnd!!tlll Bind tha hUcktra and re
tail dealers are mailing ji mnr vivu
than In. other years,
"YOU see those tomatoes?" said 8. H.
Jlewctt. Of Hewtt it Thompson, com
mission merchants at 232 Dock street,
pointing to a pile of five-eighth bushel
baskets. "I'd take 5 cents a baskot for
them and bo glad to set rid of them. If
I can't sell them I'll have to give them
away." . .
Most Of this fruit ahd vegetable deal
ers say that tho demand for the foods
they handle Is as good at aver. Mr. Hew
ett, however, la ot the opinion that there
is llttlo demand this, year. Ho blames
this on industrial depression, and says
the responsibility rests on the Democratic
Administration.
"The people don't seem to have any
money," he said. "The same conditions
W tho produce market existed before
wrisn the Democrats were in. You can
buy tomatoes of the ordinary kind from
five cents a basket down to nothing.
Bomo of tho ftnor grade of stuff brings
as high as IS or la cents. The tomato
pre lower- now than I hftve ever known
them tq bo before."
The vat la a contributing factor to the
law prices in the opinion of some, he
cauaa It has cut down what export bus
iness was carried on In other years,
It is with tomatoes, potatoes and cab
bagea that the farmers are hiving their
greatest trouble. Other vegetable are
low In price, but not Inordinately so.
rndtrnLttS 6t THit FAnMtett.
In the opinion of David it. Bimon, of
the Readme Terminal Market, the present
conditions are adding a burdtn to the
troubles of th farmer that he hardly will
be &bte to bear.
"Fruit and vegetable have been
cheaper- the last U month than I have
ever known tham to be," h said. "The
firmer Is Me sufferer. Ha cahndt afford
to market his produce at the present
firicer. H la up against It, because ot
the present cost of operations, Ha must
have an automobile, a telephone and
tnany other modern appliances if h
wants to do business, and he ihas to pay
twiee as much for labor as ha did a fw
years ago. They hava been fighting tha
farmer tod hard.
"Potatoes have been A cheap in the
past, but they never Stayed hei. Now
the farmers are selling for ss or S4 cents
a feushel. L4t year they were getting
twice as .-much.
"The farmer ean scarcely get more
than J cent a basket for hU tomatoes,
and it cost him that much to have
them picked. A a, result many growers
ars leaving them in tha fisids to rot.
The supply ib twice u great as trie de

BIG BATTLE IN TYROL;
AUSTRIANS EVACUATING
TRIESTE, ROME HEARS
MBMaMisaVkiaMai
Machinery in Munitions
Factories at Seaport Al
ready Removed General
Cadorna's Army Breaks
Second Line of Defense.
HOME, Aug. 3.
Heavy fighting In the Austro-Itallon
theatre of war has shifted from tho
l6ntd front to Tyrol and trentlno. The
War Offloa report severe hostilities In
the Alps with both Infantry and artillery
engaged on a big scale.
Alone tha Isonzo front the Austrian
lines have been weakened to such an ex
tent by 10 daya constant battering by the
Italians that there Is leas reslstanca than
at any other time since, hostilities broke
out.
It Is reported on excellent authority
that thd Austrian ara making extensive
plans for the evacuation of Trieste In
order to prevent the capture of the army
concentrated in that part of the Itria
peninsula. The Austrian aro said to be
removing the machinery from the arms
faotorle at Trleeto and are also remov
ing supplies from tho military depot to
prevent the)r Oopturo by the Italians.
Tho tenacity of the defense of Gorlzta
hae proved a aurprlsa to military experts
who expected th fall of the Austrian
city long before this. The delay In the
capture of the stronghold Is explained by
the fact that Lieutenant General Cadorna
Is not disposed to saerinco his men rsck
lessly by hurling them against tho strong
defenses of the Austrian. He Is content
to adopt trench fighting such aa la In
progres in Franc and Belgium. Tho
result from such a method of warfare
would be slower, but the losses In human
life would be smaller.
On Carso plateau, In the Garltla region,
the Italian are In possession ot all the
first-line defenses of the Austrlans. A
dispatch from Udine states that the Aus
trlans In Gorilla crownland have retired
to tho valleys, which formB the second
line Of. defense on the Gorilla ctty
Montfalcon section. Tha Italian advanco
In that region amounts to J22 miles. On
the Carso plateau the Austrian lints have
bean strengthened with two army corps.
Trie recant losae on the leonzo front
hava bean enormous.

Twentvfive hundred and (too auto

Automoblllsta of thl city are urging
tho Falrmount Park Commliston to lift

Th contention Of the FairmoUnt Park

great length tho British Foreign Office
reviews tho trade records complied by the
Department of, Commerce here in Wash
ington. From them It Is pointed out that
the bulk ot tho exports that have been
seht to P6land, Denmirk, Sweden and
Norway havo In reality been Intended to
reach German sources.
And the British bicokftde directed
against Germany Is defended as a, proper
act ot war and one that Is entirely jus
tified by the precedents established by thd
United states Government Itself during
the Civil War. In addition,' she questions
the propriety of our caveat Intended to
protect our rights In prize court pro
ceedings. TEXT PUBLISHED WEDNE6DAT.
Secretary of Stat 6 Lansing stated to
day that the text of these notes wilt he
made publlo next Wednesday morning,
Ha said that this time had been fixed by
the British Government itself. In this
connection the Secretary stated that he
could not answer any questions about tha
notes they are three In number because
the British Government had' asked that
the State Department withhold comment
on them until Wednesday.
Although the Secretary would not say
bo, there Is no doubt that official circles
are greatly disappointed over the un
compromising attitude adopted b,y the
British Government. It has been hoped
that concessions would be made, but It
now seems certain that the British Gov
ernment will fight against any letting
down of the bara to American trade that
would benefit her enimloa In the slightest
degrees.
Copies of the three notes are to be
sent to President Wilson at Cornish With
out delay.
Because Ot the position England has
assumed It is now .certain that another
definite and strong protest will be sent
forward without delay reaffirming the
Position ot the United state that tha

Many person yesterday, on learning
that whan the therrpomettr stood at Its
highest at M degrees, at 2 o'clock, tho
humidity read at 50 per cent, Instead bt
W per cent., as It had earlier In the day,
It meant it was les moist and sultry,
and therefore should have been less un.
comfortable. Such la not th case In the
matter of humidity.
Tha humidity percentage la & compar

figure rad w per cent, it mean mat
the air i holding ft per Cent, ot tna
moisture it I capable of holding. But
whn It 1 very hot the air can hold tnor

drops, although, actually tha air may con
