Wilson Expresses His
Views on Situation

Washington, d. c., Sept. 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson expressed his view of the
gravity of the international situation
which confronts the United States to
delegation of Nirginians who asked
him to-day to visit the Manassas bat
| tletield late this month.
The President was reminded that
some time ago he had promised to go
to Manassas to dedicate a tablet.
When | made that promise the
President told the delegation, things
were just beginning and great many
things have happened since which
have affected not only the aspect OF
our own affairs but the aspect of
affairs of the world. My experience
here day by day is that questions turn
up so suddenly and have to be handled
so promptly and sometimes with so
much thoughtful discretion that l
really dare not let my thoughts go out
to other matters.
Il could not come to Manassas
without having something to say. 1t
would not be worthy of the occasion
if l did not make preparations that
would be worth while, and that is out
of the question. My thoughts are
mortgaged beyond recall for the
present .

PRICE OF PORK TO
CO AWAY DO WIN
Brelsford Manager Predicts Un-
heard of Low Level This
Winter

From present indications pork and
pork products" will drop in price to
level unheard of in recent years be-
cause of the difficulty of exporting
hogs to foreign countries on account
of the war, according to C. A. Hibler,
general manager of the Brelsford
Packing and Storage Company.
The production of hogs this Fall is
They will have to be disposed of in
this country and the large number is
expected to knock the bottom out of
the market.
Germany and Austria are large
consumers of American pork product.
especially lard said Mr.. Hibler this
morning. Probably thirty to forty
per cent of lard made in this country
lis used by these countries under nor
NAL conditions. Newspaper and gov
ernment reports indicate a large crop
of hogs this coming season. There is
also reported very little sickness in
this class of stock"
IF the outlet to European countries
remains shut off during this coming
winter season, the prospects are that
live hogs and pork products will be
lower than they have been for some
seasons past; just how much so would
depend largely on conditions cited
above"
by this coming winter season. we
mean probably after January 1. Right
now during the month of September,
we are undergoing a period of very
high priced live hogs, with prices cor
responding accordingly for fresh pork
cuts"
LAS far as the beef situation is con-
cerned, foreign conditions effect this
class of product very little, and nor
NAL supplies and normal prices are
what might be expected.

FIRE AND RUIN IN
WAKE OF BIG STORM
Simon Hershey's Barn Burned at
Middletown; Lights Out
Throughout City

During the electrical and wind
storm which swept over the city and
surrounding country. Saturday even
ing, the barn of Simon Hershey, near
Middletown, was burned to the
ground. sewers and cellars flooded
and train and trolley schedules disar-
ranged.
The barn was struck twice. The
fire from the first bolt had hardly
been extinguished when another en-
veloped the barn. All the livestock
with the exception of three hogs was
saved. Farming Implements and the
entire seasons crops were burned.
The loss is placed at $500, partly
covered by insurance.
Roads were washed bare out in the
country and scores of automobilists
were drenched. Many rural. tele-
phones were put out of commission
and the city and surrounding towns
were thrown into darkness when the
power plants went bad.
Hope Tower Struck
Soon after the beginning of the
storm, the tower of the Hope engine
house was struck, but it did not take
fire. A bolt of lightning entered the
bathroom of w. e. Balsbaugh, at 1711

sounded, but the room had not caught

The downpour of 1S6 inches of rain

number of the cellars of houses on the
Hill and in the West End were
flooded. Mulberry street bridge ran
full of water. Front street was also
flooded. AS usual the Market street
subway filled up and Hill cars were
compelled to travel over the State
street bridge. Dirt was washed over

War After Break Belief
of German Ambassador

New York, Sept. 13. - Count Won
Bernstorf, the German Ambassador,
believes that breaking diplomatic rela-

This belief he has communicated to
his close friends.
The ambassador believes that a
break can be averted. He hopes il
will be averted. In the hope that by
bringing Americans to a realization
of the seriousness of such a move
and to conserve peace, he has not OBJ
jected to these friends letting his
views became public.
Publicly Count Won Bernstorff has
nothing to say. Privately he believes
Germany is abused and maligned, her
concessions to the United States min
imized and misrepresented. and him.
self held up to public ridicule as a
trickster, whose pledged word is
worthless. This state of affairs the
ambassador feels is due entirely to the
English propaganda and the activities
of the English-printed newspapers
particularly of the East.

Chicago. Sept 10. = Ambassador
Dumba's performances and the noti-
fication by this Government that he is
no longer wanted in the United States
seem likely to do much good in the
line of harmonizing opinion and senti-
ment among the American people and
in stimulating patriotism. Even bit
ter German partisans condemn Dumba
and praise President Wilson. But the
most striking thing is the utterances
from Austro- Hungarians in this coun-
try who, through their societies and
individually, have declared that they
will work for anybody they please in
the manufacture of war munitions or
anything else.
