larly Major Marchland who received me

and l shall always retain souvenir OF
the reception.
"The situation is rightly regarded as
most critical. but l cannot approve Of
those who say that war is the only solu-
ton. Calm, courteous discussion will
give a solution acceptable to both sides,
I have entire confidence in diplomacy,
Perhaps my opinion of Major March,
lands exploit may contribute to the re-
suit which all desire"

OF
cHICAGo's BIG STORM
The Greatest Storm In Years. and Much
Damage Done-No Lives Are
Lost

CHICAGO. Oct ~ Chlcagos lake
front is battered in spots from the indian
state line to Evanston and beyond as the
result OF the storm which found a center
here during the last two days
While no lives have been reported lost,
tho severity OF the blow-lS miles an hour
at its worst-was the greatest since the
gale OF 1894 when the shore was strewn
with wrecks and when many sailors per-
lshed.
The total damage is estimated at $Sl, 800.
The objects that suffered most were the
Lake shore promenades and walls. whose
huge rocks and flags were battered down
and tossed around like chips by the
waves
The Lincoln Park board has suffered
most In this respect. II will require
$4,000 to replace its wrecked ways.
An indication of the fury o. the storm
is shown by the fact that the official
clock In the photographic office in the
Masonic Temple was stopped by the vi
bratlon of the big building. The hands
pointed to 6:45 p. M, when the pendulum
ceased TO swing. Lieutenant Wilson says
all clocks on tho upper floors OF high
office buildings were similarly affected.

WILL BRING GERMANY
ported American Goods VIII Be
Adopted by Congress.

CHICAGO. Oct. 27-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
During the winter the administration
proposes to take steps retaliating against
Germany for discriminating against
American pork.
Prof. Wiley Of the agricultural Depart
ment is now conducting an investigation
for the benefit of the president. and has
gone to New York for the purpose of Sc
curing samples Of German wines and
other products which will undergo close
scrutiny to find ground for excluding
them from this country.
American meat products have been har-
assed in so many ways that it has be-
come Improbable to export them to Ger
many. 1t has been charged that these
products infected with trichinae and
everything imaginable has been done to
harass trade and drive 1t from the mar
ket.
Recent consular reports show that the
charges Of trichinae existing in American
pork are unfounded, and upon scrutin-
izlng investigation it was found to exist
in meats which came from other coun-
tries and were marked as coming from
America.
The president already has power to act
on his own responsibility, and data Is
being collected on which to base grounds
for excluding German products which are
found to be impure and adulterated,
The data Prof. Wiley says will
probably be submitted to congress with
the presidents message and he will un-
doubtedly make some reference to it and
suggest to congress that it take action
in the matter. which he believes would
be more effective in bringing Germany
to its senses when specifically directed
by congress with the approval of the
president and people.
