RIVALRY WANING

Berlin. Aug. Sin the decision Of
the British government to station
several naval cruisers at Bermuda.
Captain Persius. the naval expert Of
the Tageblatt sees the first breach in
Lord Fishers policy of concentrating
every available ship of the British
navy in home waters and an indica-
ton Of the waning of the tense Anglo
German rivalry of the past decade.
From this point of view. Captain
Persius fnds the action Of the British
admiralty of more Importance to Ger
many than to the United States. He
says Germany also may lake similar
steps of Recommendation. He be-
lieves that in general. the decision
was dictated more by the desire to
show the British flag. than by actual
necessity.

lished a. story referring to the posi-
bility of Germany's modifying its

SHOW PICTURES
AS ARGUMENTS
Theaters Depict the Present
Conditions in Grand Forks
Slaughter Houses.

The campaign in favor Of the bond
Ing Of the city for the erection OF a
municipal slaughter house which is to
be voted on at the special election
next Tuesday is being vigorously
pushed by the Comercial club, Civic
League. and board of health.
Slides designed to demonstrate the
advantages OF a city abbatoir were
exhibited at the Grand and Fotoplay
theaters Thursday night.
Among these were pictures of. al
lesed unsatisfactory conditions in
some of the local slaughter houses
contrasted with the conditions in the
sanitary esta blishments in some of
the larger cities of the country.
Other slides showed specimens OF
tubercular meat, and consumptive
germs In one piece Of beef. In the
latter case the picture had to be en-
larged 5000 times its original size in
order to make the germs visible to the
naked eye.
According to the figures furnished
by the local slaughter houses, over
300 cattle. sheep and swine are
butchered here annually. If this was
all done in the city slaughter house, it
would mean a revenue of $4.s71 an
nually. This includes the income de-
rived from the sale of tankage, etc.
The fixed and running expenses Of
the plant are estimated at $2,5s1 per
year. This includes interest on the
bonds and a sinking fund for their
retirement at maturity.
The annual profit to the city accord
ing to these figures would thus
amount to $2.28O.
