Ii is desired that every interested per-
son will make reports there on prices
charged in various sections OF the city.
Mrs, Heath issued an appeal TO house
wives yesterday to stop buying in large
quantities
From more than one dealer the word
has come that there is no other reason
for the present increase in prices than
the panicky feeling of a host OF con-
sumers. These dealers assert that per-
sons who were buying In small quantities
two weeks ago have become convinced
that the European war is going 10 raise
prices in this country. Accordingly they
are laying In supplies ahead OF time and
the dealers say that the increased de
mand and the inability 10 meet II quickly
have caused the increase i prices. Mrs.
Heath urges housewives to buy In small
quantities and from day to day and TO
stop talking about high prices
The retail prices for meats and fish
remained the same yesterday as they were
or Thursday although the who'll sale
prices OF calves, sheep lambs and hogs
were slightly lower. Prime ribs of beef,
selling wholesale on Thursday at Is cents.
went up to 10 cents with no change in the
retail price, but the retail price on Mon
day will probably he higher as the whole
salers say their prices will Increase from
half "A cent TO a cent.
Butter and eggs remained stable yes
terday, with little likelihood of drop In
prices. There are now 50OO, 600 cases of
eggs in storage In this country and OF
these SbO,OOO cases are IN New York or
the big storage houses of Jersey CITY.
To those who wonder why the price OF
eggs remains high the dealers answer
that while the number I'm storage may
seem large the condition is normal From
now on, they say. shipments of fresh eggs
will decrease steadily and the eggs in
storage VIII he put on the market The
storage houses, they say. will be the main
source of supply for the next six months.

him for moment. The confusion all
about. the pail Of dust, the roaring Of
the frightened lions which had escaped

panic-stricken populace, who now
looked upon the white memsahib as

Here was the confusion. properly

But the sight Of lion emerging

CAPITAL AND WAR

Editor Day Book:-Why did the
Socialist party of some of the foreign
countries endorse the war and APP
peal to its membership to jump at the
so-caIled enemy's throat. Why such
a radical change from the regular
anti-war policy? Have the leaders
sold out the rank and file. If what
the Tribune's article a few days ago
printed is true, then why did not the
Socialist party of Germany or
France, where they were in power
and had a majority, or almost so,
pass this law, or something like it, or
at least show that they are represen-
tatives Of the working class by trying
to pass a law to have the rich, accord
ing to the amount of property or
wealth, line up in time of war against
the enemy or so-caIled enemy in the
front first, as they have all to fight
for and lose while the working class
has nothing or almost so. This l
would call justice, and when capital
realizes it must do the fighting first

for the working class, the only class
left alive. This law if passed would
put militarism down to stay when
capital realizes it must do its own
fighting and be first to fight. And pity
the king that would dare to declare
war without capitals sanction. His
life would be worth about two cents
when the wise capitalist class would
resort or be forced to resort to direct
action and sabotage to put down war
or militarism. And the ignorant
working class would not have to help
do it either. But as long as the cap
italists can bait the working class to
do all the killing and getting killed,
appeal to their ignorance, making
them think they are highly patriotic
citizens and fight for their country,
that capital owns and controls, and
workers have nothing, then just so

Fire Destroys Stable.

A midnight fire Tuesday destroyed the
stable of Rudolph A. Neidhardt, Middle
Alley, and contents, including horse
and wagon belonging to J. Fred Main,
Braddock Heights. The loss has been
estimated at $525.
In spite of the efforts of Officer Adams,
who was the first at the scene OF the fire,
and J. w. Obenderfer, it was impossible
to save the horse which stood in por-
ton of the stable which was shut off from
the door by piles of fodder, hay, straw
and a wagon.
Because of the narrow alley in which
the stable was located the firemen had
some difficulty in fighting the fire. ''Hap-
py'' Valoose and another man we're
