ROME, April 20 49, Within the last
twenty-fotr hours there have arisen
In Rome persistent reports that the
grave international question con-
ironing Italy may be solved in the
near future BY what at first sight
seems 1most incred ible, the conclus-
ion Of a general peace. in Europe at
anot distant date.
While these reports are intangible
and can not at present be ascribed
at q definite source they nevertheless
are reflected in high quarters and
they are given heed by careful OBJ
servers Of international policies.
Among other reasons in support
or this the argument is offered that
Rome is an excellent field for the
conduct of negotiations Of this ma
ture; Prince Won Buelow, one OF the
ablest of German diplomats, is In
Rome as ambassador to Italy and the
official relations between Italy and
Germany as well as between Italy and

Causes the Thirteen Big Races
Planned for the Fair TO
Be Called Off.

The regular 13 racing events with
stakes OF 81 20 OO,each which were run
here last year at the fair and which
this year we're to have been presented
again, have been called on
Parkersburg and Fairmont had also
entered into agreement with Clarks-
burg for running the same events.
and these cities also cancelled the big
card Another schedule Of races will
be arranged by the three cities, prob
ably the same races being staged for
each association.
The cancellation came about from
the fact that entries had been much
smaller than they were last year, and
that what had been booked had been
slow IN coming IN. There had been
less than 90 horses entered this year
whereas last season there wer be
tween two and three hundred.
The foot and mouth" disease, odd
as it may at first appear, is RESPONSE
pie to some extent for the slow book
ing. The movement Of stock into
West Virginia Is Handicapped by the
quarantine regulations now prevail
ing and horsemen do not know what
stage the quarantine may reach by
the time of the fair. The same cause
would no dou BIT keep cattle and other
stock from the djoining states com
