SENSATIONAL BREAKS
IN THE VALUE OF HOGS
Drop in Chicago Quotations From
75c to 81 Per Hundred Charged
to British Interference,

CHICAGO. October 21.-Sensational
breaks of IS to SO cents on the hun
dredweight took place today in the
value of hogs. AS quota lions last night
showed a drop of 40 to so cents under
the previous days average. the smash
in prices today ranged from 75 cents
to 81 a hundred pounds as compared
with forty-eight hours ago.
According to Edward A. La Bart, an
official of Morris & Co., the extraor-
binary drop in values Is largely the
result of interference of Great Britain
with the commerce of the United
States with neutral European coun-
tries, although the oversupply of hogs
and the unusual crop conditions this
year have cut considerable figure. Mr..
La Bart today said:
THE fact WIS pointed out several
weeks ago by the American packers
that unless some action was taken by
the United States the livestock bust
ness of this country would in large
measure go to ruin. The breaks In
prices are only forerunner Of what
naturally can be expected"

No Cost at All, Eventually.

However, after that market eking
period, the people would have a naval
auxiliary which would compare favor
ably with any other nation, but would
not cost them cent of money, and
would help the north, south, east and
west to get rid of its crops and prod
ucts.
The present building program had
been made out, according to the Secre-
tary, in the hope that Congress would
provide for the federal merchant ma
rine. He made it clear that the ship
bill to be urged by the administration
will specify that ships constructed un-
der 1t shall be designed by the naval
constructors connected with the Navy
Department, men who know the needs,
and, while primarily for use on COM
mercial routes, will be suited for navy
use.

UItimatHm to Greece ::
Reported Allies Plan; :
Britain Offers Cyprus

- LONDON, October PA Rome dis
patch to the Daily Mail gives the re-
port that the entente allies will send
an ultimatum to Greece, insisting that
she define her position. In connection
with the Grecian situation the Daily
Telegraph makes the announcement
this morning that Great Britain has
made a formal offer of the Island Of
Cyprus to Greece as soon as Greece
undertakes to Intervene IN the war on
the side of the allies.
Thus far" says the Daily Telegraph.
Greece has not replied to the offer of
Cyprus. Our Athens correspondent in
forms us that It is believed the offer
will create an excellent impression in
Greece. since it is an actual present
concession and not. mere promise,
which Germany might suggest and
would never be carried out"
Offer Not Contingent One.
The Daily Telegraph In an editorial
!, claims that its report is based on good
authority. The newspaper points out
that the offer differs from the German
offers to Greece. inasmuch as it is not
contingent upon the final triumph of
the triple entente. but would take eff
fect as soon as Greece performed her
pdII III the suggested agreement.
The sooner we all recognize that
purely chivalrous motives are not
prominent in the Balkan politics Of to-
day the better" the Daily Telegraph
adds. The cession of Cyprus TO the
state to which most of its inhabitants
are related by race and history clearly
involves no departure from the princi-
pies upon which we have taken our
stand from the beginning, and it comes
with especially happy effect from the
power to which Greece owes her Dos
session of the Ionian Islands"
People Not Behind M. Zaimis.
The Daily Chronicle says:
The mass of the Greek nation is not
behind NJ. Zaimis (the Greek premier).
but behind NJ. venizelos (the former
premier). and in order that it's will
may prevail over German influence in
high places at Athens, the allies must
give tangible evidence of two thines.
Their good will toward Hellenism and
= their power. AS a proof of good will
: they have offered Cyprus.
The oher is a notable one; not only
because of its magnitude, but because
We are offering something already in
our hands to give, and If the Greek ma
ton allows the Zaimis government TO
reject it, the world will have to revise
its views of the seriousness Of Hellenic
asDirafiops"

Local Clubs Well Represented.

All the local country or golf clubs

in the tourney, while the out -of-town

Secretary Daniels Confident
an Appropriation Will Be Made
for a Merchant Marine.

Confidence in an appropriation by Con.
gress of funds for the development OF
| a merchant marine, differed and
manned only by Americans. was ex-
pressed by Secretary Daniels today.
following his return from Raleigh,
N. c.. where he delivered an address
at the state fair yesterday His pro-
posal for the auxiliary service to the
navy, which could be used for the
! transportation of commerce in time Of
peace. was well received. according to
the Secretary. by the people there. who
now appreciate the lack of such a mer-
chant marine. Since the war they have
been unable to get their cotton moved,
and the Secretary said that for six or
unable to get ship.
The proposed new fleet auxiliaries
would be built under plans designed
by the naval tailors," the Secretary
said. Manning them with Americans is
the only way by which the govern
ment could keep them ready for in
slant service in time of war. for If
manned with those of foreign birth or
connections 1t would leave them help
less should a war start, for these
nationals would be compelled to leave
and return to their home governments.
Training in Peace Times.
In time Of peace, while these vessels
were transporting the grain. cotton,
lumber and other products to foreign
ports, the officers and men could be
trained at the guns and in naval tao
tics SO that they could enter into the
service in time of war.
The adoption of the merchant marine
idea would save the people much money
in the purchase of ships in time of war,
as Is evidenced by the necessity of the
hurried purchase Of ships at the time of
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war. Then, the government spent
$17,000,000. but really did not get that
much in value. being compelled to accept
ships which were almost totally unsuited
for the naval war game
OF course, said the Secretary, during
the first year or two there might be
some outlay on the part of the people
This would be due to the fact that the
ships did not have markets, but were
spending the money in seeking them.
No Cost at ALL Eventually.
