the first instance of training young
men at home for employment in the
industry that is foremost in several
of the Rocky mountain states.
The plan of preparing the woods at
Ely, New, and at Wamsutter, Daley's
Ranch and Scion, Wyo., did not involve
the use of labor in skirting the f1eeces
and in separating the skirtings into
first and second pieces and locks, as
was done at Pioneer shed. The f1eeces
were carried from the shearing floor
to tables in the wool room, where men
who had had experience in warehouse
grading removed the heavy tags, rolled
each fleece, and assigned 1t to be baled
under it's proper name. No bale con-
tanned f1eeces of more than one grade,
and no string was used The weight
of tags and locks amounted to about
per cent of the total weight of the
clip.
Western Wool Graded.
1t was very apparent that the shorter
woods, which are now so common in
the western states, cannot be passed
over tables for skjrting and rolling
nearly as satisfactorily as longer
woods. They can, however, be graded
to remove the necessity of opening the
bales before they reach the mills. This
work of preparing wool by improved
methods was keenly watched by many
Of the wool growers in the surrounding
so 0d hot
entire cost of the experiment was fully
paid by the lesson it furnished of the
value of breeding sheep for better
wool production. The flock masters
often showed great surprise when, for
the first time, they saw wool graded,
and for the first time knew what grade
Of wool they actually produced. Here
tofore most growers in reading market
reports have been prone to note quota
tons for the highest grade and value
their clips accordingly.
The woods graded and baled at
Wamsutter shed we're offered for sale
by sealed bids on May 4, but because
of the difference between buyers and
growers ideas of values, no sales were
contaminated. Since the selling OF
wool was not general at that time,
there could be no current quotations
with which to compare the prices re-
ceived for better prepared woods with
those received for others of a similar
character and quality put up in the Old
fashioned way. Of course this expert
ment this year will not suffice to an
swer the question as to how far the
western wool growers can proftably
proceed in changing methods of pre-
pairing wool. Some alterations or modi-
fications of this years work may be
suggested when these woods reach the
mills. This years step, however, has
been in the right direction. and wool
producers throughout the United
States will watch with interest to
learn the prices received for this bet
ter prepared wool.

THE CONSOLATION OF DEFEAT.

The Democratic Advocate congratu-
lates the defeated aspirants for nomi-
nation Or the Democratic ticket Oh
the manner In which their campaign
was conducted. Any party is fortu--
nate in. being able. to hold in reserve
such excellent material for a future
ticket. The Democratic party is the
dominant party of the State of Mary
land and OF Carroll county, and it
will continue to d. the dominant
party rs long AZ it, membership IL
enriched by tn presence Ut such
large number or men OF ability and
position who are willing to serve the
County and the State.
The defeated candidates made a
gallant fight, and they can look back
with pride upon their efforts and the
recognition the Democratic voters
gave them in the Primary. Defeat
under such circumstances IL easily
borne. IN Advocate predicts that
each defeated candidate will w ~
energetic and a. active In behalf Of
the success Of the Democratic ticket
as he was of his own candidacy.

SUBMARINE DISPUTE
AWAITS GERMAN MOVE

Washington, Sept. 16.-Count Won
Bernstorff has left Washington foS the
summer embassy at Cedarhurst, l.. l.,
to await further word from the Ger
man foreign Office on its attitude to-
ward the sinking of the Arabic in the
light of proof that the liner was pro-
ceeding peacefully when torpedoed
without warning.
1t was considered unlikely that the
ambassador would resume his discus
sion with Secretary Lansing pending
the receipt of adyices from Berlin,
which probably will require ten days
or more.
Tension over the situation that has
arisen between the two nations ap-
parently was relaxed and hopes for
an early and friendly adjustment
were renewed in German and govern
ment quarters.
The fact that informal discussions
were proceeding both in Berlin and
Washington was emphasized There
were indications, however, that If
Germany should decline to meet the
demand for a disavowal the United
States would sever diplomatic rela-
tions

ISSUES QUALIFIED DENIAL
Germany Disavows Responsibility for
Sinking of Hesperian.

Berlin, Sept. 16.-In a note to AM
bassador Gerard the German foreign
office disclaims responsibility for the
sinking of the steamship Hesperian
by a submarine.
This denial of responsibility is
qualified, as all the facts in the case
are not yet at hand.
The foreign Office says that accord
ing to the prearranged distributions
no German submarine could have
been on Sept. in that part of the
ocean in which the Hesperian sank"
Furthermore, the communication
says, ''the explosion, according to de-
scriptions received from British
sources, was of such nature as to
indicate from its effects that 1t was
rather that of a mine than a tor
pedo."

ASSERTS SATTACkS ARE LEGAL
German Writer Declares London Is
Fortress.

Berlin, Sept. 16.-Count Won Revent-
low, the naval writer, replies in the
Tageszeitung to British criticisms Of
German airship raids over London.
He states that London is fortress
and that Sir Percy Scott, the newly
appointed defender of the city from
aerial attacks, should order the civil
population of London to depart.
The count asserts il is not Ger
many's responsibility that the for
tress of London, attacked many times,
has not been evacuated and he states
that the failure of the British gov
ernment to order the people to aban-
don it shows "disdainful disregard Of
the principles of humanity, civiliza-
tion and international law"
