Fresno figures as a future fig capital as a carload of white Smyrna figs, called calismyrnas, reaches New York.

Fresno prices figs at 10 cents a pound locally, with eastern buyers paying five to six times that.
The dye industry seeks a Fordney tariff embargo on German dyes to protect readiness for war. Advocates argue dyes are a keystone arsenal, with Germany supplying about 90 percent of prior US needs.

The White House announced that American troops will be withdrawn from Germany over the next week or so. A small contingent of about 500 may remain indefinitely while the rest are returned in batches. The move follows the push for technical peace and does not alter the army of occupation’s legal status or German obligations under the peace treaty.

Sidney, short on key players, dominated Julesburg with a strong rushing attack and sharp end runs. L. Clark, Davis, and Dresser starred as Sidney built a 28 6 halftime lead, then added two more touchdowns in the final period to win 41 13 despite penalties and stiff Julesburg defense in spots.
