FIRE DESTROYS
 LIVERPOOL DOCK
Loss Is $500, ,000-WiII Further Con. gest Freight-origin of the Fire
 Is Unknown.

LIVERPOOL, Eng, April 1O.-Fire on one of the docks in this port caus. ed loss of fully s500,000 and will result in further congesting the freight shipments to and from this harbor, which are already in a very deplor able condition because of the lack of docking facilities.
 Just how the fire started is not known and the police and military authorities are Investigating the cause of the fire, fearing that spies have been able to join the gangs of long shoremen and may do considerable more damage unless they are appre- hended.
 The congestion of freight here is worse than early reports indicated and the authorities are striving to move the supplies to the continent for the use of the army. Large depots are being erected at coast points in south ern France and the supplies will he rushed across the Channel. The rear of German airmen prevents the guar. termaster authorities from gathering at any one point large depots of sup plies as they might be destroyed by bombs.

PLENTY 0F WHEAT
 IN UNITED STATES
Government Experts Report Large Supply Still Here-can Export
 100000 Bushels Day.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-That l. 100000 bushels of wheat day can be exported until July 1, in addition to supplying this country's needs, is the reassuring statement from the Agri- cultural Department. Before July l., the department points out, the new wheat will be coming in, so there need be no fear of a shortage which will actually deprive the people of this country of bread.
 Had 1t not been for the war, with the closing of the Dardanelles, which locked up Russia's surplus. and had it not been for a worlds shortage, outside of the United States, instead of selling their wheat at high prices. would really be in serious condi' tion, the department experts say. They would be looking eagerly for buyers of their wheat, with prices probably way uOWu OoAOW IA0 SooI VI pioouS tion.
 The 1914 crop of the United States was estimated at S91,OOO,OO0 bushels. In addition to this it was estimated that the amount of wheat carried ov- CT from the 1913 crop was 76,OO0,0O0 bushels, so that there was on hand total of about 967, 100000 bushels. The normal consumption of wheat in this country is about 53 bushels, so that it would require 52O,0OO,OOO bushels to supply the food requirements of the United States, besides about s0,OOO, 900 bushels needed for seed.
 So that the surplus remaining for export was, roughly, 357,000,o0O bush els. On January 30 about 210.0O0.0OO bushels had been exported, which left at that time, 40,OO0,00O more bushels available for export than the average at that time during the last five years.
 So that MT. Farmer, much as he may deplore the war and the slaugh- ter, may at least be thankful that something prevented him from finding himself with what would have almost been a drug on the market on his hands. Instead he finds himself with the highest price in years for his big money crop.

 The removal of the breech locks and the engine parts marks the form al internment of the ship and its crew.

Germany Makes Protest To Secretary Bryan-Insists Is Violation of
 Neutrality.

WASHINGTON, April l0.-The Ger man government has made a formal protest to the State Department against the continued shipment of arms and war munitions from Amer ican ports to the Allies, which, they insist, is in violation of neutrality and should not be tolerated by this gov ernment, which is ostensibly at peace with Germany, but is giving great aid to the British and French govern. ments which are receiving millions of dollars worth of war supplies each week from the manufacturers of the United States.
 As the State Department has al. ways held that to stop the British from buying in our ports and from our manufacturers would be to vio. late our neutrality in favor of Ger many, which, having been driven from the sea, is therefore unable to reach our markets. It is certain that the protest will fall upon deaf ears.

Battle May Be Long One.

BERLIN, April 10.-Reports from the Carpathian mountains indicate that one of the greatest and most sanguinary battles of the campaign is now raging. A special correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger telegraphs:
 "The great bloody battle is now in full swing in the Carpathians. It has not yet reached a point where defi mite judgment can be passed on the events at any points. The conflict is likely to be waged some days yet with equal ferceness by both sides. The next few days probably will see the released Przemysl investment army engaged in this struggle. Con- ditions to the north of the Vistula river and along the Bug and Narew line appear to have changed little or not at all recently"

ROME, April 1O.-The leaders of the popular demand for war with Aus tria in order that the Italian nation may take the present opportunity to secure the expansion which they be- lieve is necessary, have called up- on the people of Italy to meet in mass meetings in every town tomorrow and to force the government to join the conflict as an ally of England and France. The king will be forced by popular opinion to declare war against Austria if the plans of the agitators do not miscarry.
 Demonstrations have been made in many cities for the past two weeks and the police have been powerless to control the mobs which have pa raded the streets and demmanded war at once.
 It is generally believed in official circles that Prince von Beulow, the German ambassador, has given up all hope of preventing a break between Austria and Italy and is now direct ing every effort to delay the break in order that the preparations being made to receive the Italians may be finished.
 The Italian fleet is ready for in- stant action and will be used to cover the transfer of the troops to Monte.

PENDLETON MAY JOIN
IN NATIONS PLAN
FOR DEFENSE GUARD
THERE Is SOME TALK OF REoR
CANNING MILITIA IN THIS
CITY. ..

Shall Pendleton Join the prepared
ness move now underway throughout
the country by reorganizing a ma
tional guard company? here is some
talk along this line and there are
some reasons why the move would be
wise.
II is the view of DR. NJ. S. Kern for
mer captain in the 0 n. C. that the
militia pay bill will be passed by the
coming congress. If this comes true
there will be pay for guardsmen and
the service viii not be so much on a
thank you" basis as in the past The
position of company commander in
particular will be made easier as he
will be able to employ clerk hire at
government expense.
1t is the supposition everywhere
that the militia pay bill will make it
easier to eseeure hotn officers and
enlisted men for the national guard.
Hence If the bill paesses a guard
company might do well in PendletoE.
Pendleton had a guard company for
several years and the command was
disbanded because Of inability 10 Sc.
cure officers.
As the state is now erecting ar
mories for national guard companies
in the different towns the permanent
OF company here
would mean a substantial public
building for the city.
