u|vESLEY LOSES
SEVEN HOP K|LNS
BY FIRE TODAY
Fifty Acres Burned Over Be-
fore Fire-Fighters Con-
trOlled Flames

Fire of an unknown origin started at
Q clock this afternoon in the cupola
of hop kiln in the Livesley hop yards
at the station of Livesley, and seven
out of the nine kilns were completely
destroyed. The fire soon spread to the
grass on all sides of the buildings and
by o clock this afternoon had burned
over fully 80 acres. Besides the seven
kilns, two houses belonging to pickers
and all their household goods were
destroyed and other buildings used by
the hop company.
Farmers are now blowing burrows to
prevent the spread of the flames. A
strong wind is blowing from the north
but with the aid of the pickers, the
flames are under control. T. A. Lives
ley is on the ground assisting in pre-.
venting the flames from doing further
damage.
All the hops that had been picked fol
the II days past have been burned. Nc
estimate of the loss can as yet be
given. In the midst of the roar of th'
flames could be heard the bowling OF
dog that had probably been tied il
the path of the flames and was slowly
roasted to death as it tugged at it
chain but no help could get to it.
1t is thought that the fire may have
started from spark from an eievato
at one of the kilns which reached thu
dry timber but nothing definite haC
been ascertained at late hour today

If it was decided that Won Papen

would probably mint to Ambassador Won

Then, should Bernstorff decline to act,
he too, might himself become persona

Reply Is Forecasted.
Officials intimated that, in replying
to Berlin, the administration would
point out the discrepancy between the
submarine commanders report and the
affidavits Of Arabic officers and pas
sengers, who claimed no submarine was
seen and who asserted no effort made
to ram submersible.
Secretary Lansing said he had not
mad time thus far to study the Arabic
note thoroughly but it was understood
TINT the proposal to send the question
of reparation to The Hague tribunal
was unsatisfactory, viii lie the refusal to
acknowledge obligation Of indemnity
was entirely unacceptable.

LONDON FEARS
ANT|-GERMAN
OUTBREAKS NOW
Zeppelin Raids Have Been
Productive Of Bitter
Feeling

London, Sept 10.-Anti-German out
breaks here are feared today as a result
of Wednesdays night Zeppelin attack
against the city and eastern counties.
German shops, boarded up since the
recent anti-German activities, and the
subsequent interment of alien subjects
are under close guard, lest mobs wreali
their fury upon the establishments.
Feeling as result of the raids is at
fever height. Nothing thus far in the
war, as ii affects England, has aroused
such horror and resentment as the last
sweep of Count Zeppelin's air ships
The public is angered, however, rath
er than terrorized. Nevertheless in
surance companies are swamped wit
orders for protection policies. The gov
ernment insurance bureau is charging
less than fifty cents per $500 airshiI
insurance ON dwellings, but in the case
Of protection for business buildings II
rate is higher. This was regarded as
evidence that the business community
at least anticipates further destruction
The horror of the nation was voiced
today in editorial comments in the lead
ing papers. A typical comment was thu
editorial in the Telegraph.
"The raids gained the Germans nj
military advantage, said the paper
"and they were unsuccessful in terrify
ing civilians. At many places, the spec
tacle of the Zeppelins with searchlight
flashing on them and with shells burst
ing around them was enjoyed as a un
ique and thrilling experience. Othe
feelings were aroused where the bomb
fell, but there was no panic.
Given if the foul strokes are re
peated, and more persons are murdere
in their beds, the CRIMINALS will be u
nearer their goal; there will merely b
deeper loathing of the name Gei
mans.
"The only moral effect has been t
stiffen the nations determination
crash the brutalized spirit inspirin
these useless outrages."

Dumba Not Located.

New York, Sept. 10,--Austrian Ana
bassador Dumba IS whereabouts today
were unknown but there were evidences
he is secluded in the st. Regis hotel.
While he left Washington Wednesday
night, ostensibly for his summer home
at Lenox, Mass, il was stated there to-
day that he had not left the 81. Regis.
At the latter place 1t was declared
left last night for Lenox which is only
few hours from here.
The relations between Won Bernstorff
and Archibald center around alleged
transmission Of n private letter, for the
embassy military attache to the lat
ter's wife in Germany. Despite the
fact that the letter was personal, Of
fcials suggested that, if he had used an
American to pass it, the embassy was
guilty of an impropriety The letter is
said to contain sighting references
about Americdn officials.

FORCING MORE PRODUCTION.
Editorial under caption, who
Will Solve This Problem?" says:
peaches, apples, pears and vegeta-
bles are rotting on the ground in
every section of the country" Then
it goes on to say that one shipper in
Mesa county, Colorado, made profit
of $1.75 off one carload. This was
his pay for his seasons work after
paying his helpers, the freighters and
express companies.
Now if we had system of single
tax in vogue in this country what a
panacea it would indeed be. No
doubt this man would be well able to
pay his land value tax and still have
enough money to live on in luxuries
throughout the whole winter. The
next year still more idle land would
be taxed into use, the markets would
again be flooded and if this hard
working farmer was able to pay his
land value tax, why, we would let him
