DANGER TOSHIPS
IN THE NORTH SEA
FROM THE MINES
England Will Be Forced to
Adopt Similar Means of
DEMONSTRATING to All
Commerce.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Great Brit
ain, pointing out the danger to neu-
trial shipping by mines in the North sea.
by Germany, has indicated purpose
to plant mines in the same waters
Colville Barclay, charge Of the British
embassy, today presented TO Secretary
Bryan the following memorandum:
The Germans are planting mines
Unfortunately about the North sea
in the open sea without regard for
consequences to merchant men. Two
days ago four large merchant ships
We're observed to pass within a mile
of the mine field which sank the II.
M. S. Amphion.
THE waters of he North sea must
therefore be regarded as perilous in
the last degree to merchant shipping
of all nations.
In view of the methods adopted by
Germany the British admiralty must
hold themselves fully at liberty to
adopt similar measures in self defense,
which must inevitably increase the
dangers to navigation in the North sea-
But before doing so, they think it
right to issue this warning, in order
that merchant ships under neutral
flags trading with North sea ports
should return back before entering
the area of such exceptional danger"

DAMAGE SUIT FILED
AGAINST RAILROAD

Andrew Little. through his attorneys,
McDougall & Jones, of Pocatello, and
Frawley & Block of Boise, has filed suit
in the district court for Ada county
against the oregon Short Line, claiming
$2246.60 damages for improper han
ding of a shipment of lambs made
over that line.
According to the complaint II cars
of lambs ready for market we're shipped
from Smiths Ferry, Sept. 2, 1918, billed
to firm of stock buyers in Chicago.
The allegation is made that the Short
Line did not feed, rest and water these
lambs, 5097 in number, until Pocatel-
10 was reached, Sept A. and that then
they were unloaded into pens not near
large enough to accommodate them
without provision for water except
such as wasted into pools of mud and
filth, because of which many did not
drink at all and those which did drink
became sick so that so head of them
died before reaching Chicago and the
balance were so gaunt, poor and suf-
fering condition that they were de-
preciated in value 40 cents a head by
reason of the failure of the railroad
company to give them proper care.

BANK OF ENGLAND
MAY ESTABLISH A
BRANCH AT OTTAWA

New York. Aug. 1.-THE most in
teresting report in the financial dis
trict today was the rumor that the
Bank Of England proposes establishing
a branch at Ottawa, Canada. Bank
ers here see in such move what they
call an attempt on the part of the
Great Britain institution to pile up
large amounts of credit with this coun-
try which we may have to pay i ngold
shipments to the dominion.
With all the rest Of the world on a
non-specie basis it is believed that such
maneuver would be vigorously op-
posed. The matter was under discus
sion in representative circles today and
the attitude of the American bankers
may find expression in definite state
ment later

BREAK IN PRICES
IN THE GRAIN PIT
Wheat Goes Down Under
Rush of Selling Orders
Other Grains Follow.

Chicago, Aug. Wheat prices broke
quickly today under a rush Of selling
orders by commission houses. The
fact that no immediate outlet could be
seen for exports made buying power
rather limited and had a tendency to
direct attention chiefly to the prospect
Of a supplies accommodating to a bur-
densome extent not only at the sea-
board but also at interior terminals
Liverpool dispatches said that local
crops were sufficient for present
needs. After opening q to cents
lower, prices here suffered a moderate
further decline.
Assertions that seaboard exporters
had re-sold considerable quantities of
wheat to Chicago handlers prevented
any important rally. The close was
wea at 21s to "a cents net decline.
Rains eased the corn maret. Offer
ings of reserves from country sources
led also to bearish feeling. The open
ing, which ranged from IN of to q
advance, was followed by a decided
setback.
Eastern demand was not so active as
of late, and no complete recovery took
place, The close was unsettled, u
down to like amount up, compared
with last night.
Oats sagged with other grain At
the decline there was considerable
buying on resting orders. Lower
prces for hogs CARED down provisions
First sales were is to q cents below
last night with pork showing the only
decided subsequent rally
