Pork Prices in Berlin.

Berlin, Nov. "a new sched-
ule of prices for swine and pork
in Berlin has been adopted by the
Federal Council in connection
with the measures now being tax
en- to regulate prices and distri-
button Of food supplies through
out the country.
Maximum prices are designat-
ed for live hogs which are divid-
ed into certain classes, according
to weight. Quotations are adj
justed in such a manner as to en-
courage the raising of heavy hogs
instead of making it profitable
to slaughter them before they
mature. For this purpose the
rates are increased on a sliding
scale for hogs which weigh more
than 22O pounds.
The maximum wholesale price
for fat pork is placed at 14O
pfennigs per kilogram (about Is
cents a pound). For hog fat
surrendered lard) the maximum
wholesale price is 1870 pfennigs
per kilogram (about 20 ~ cents
a pound).-

Special to The Washington Herald.

srecal to The Washington Herald.
New York, July 19.-Congressman John
J. Fitzgerald is back in Brooklyn again
after little jaupt around the country
that took him 1900 miles by rail and
5000 by automobile.
The Brooklyn Congressman went with
the members Of the Committee on APP
preparations, Of which he is chairman,
to examine the reclamation projects in
various portions Of the country, being
gone forty-five days. during which time
the party went from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the Mexican to the
Canadian border, holding hearings al
most daily.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said today that he was
particularly impressed with the Wilson
sentiment he encountered everywhere.
Il found II was much stronger even
than when visited the same territory
last April he declared, I talked with
all kinds Of people and I found them,
except in extreme cases, with the Presi-
dent There was a very considerable ex-
preston Of approval for the course he
has taken on our foreign relations. That
stand, I think. has strengthened him
considerably"
What is the feeling in the West re-
gardins Bryan and his break with the
President?'' Mr.. Fitzgerald was asked.
They haven't got much sympathy for
Bryan. They think the President should
be upheld" he replied.

wages. 1t means higher rates, and the
American farmer and manufacturer
will have to stand the expense. If
foreign ships escape the provisions of
the law, as seems likely, and the pro-
visions should be enforced only against
American ships. the law sounds the
death knell of the American merchant
marine.
The effect of the seamen's law upon
American shipping is exemplified by
the prospective elimination of the Pa
ciic Mail Steamship lines, according to
Lewis J. Spence. director of traffic of
the Southern Pacific Company. These
are among the finest vessels on the
Pacific.
In accord with each of the authorities
quoted above. F. c. Munson, vice presi-
dent of the Munson Steamship Line, con-
cludes that the seamen's act will undoubt-
ediy have prejudicial effect on Ameri-
'can shipping.
We placed under the American flag
two OF our British steamers shortly after
the bill allowing the placing of foreign
TONNAGE under the American flag was
passed." says Mr.. Munson, but we fear
that II the seamens law in its present
form Ii allowed to go into force on No.

much as We dislike to do SO, or else be
forced to allow our competitors to take

Miss Jane Addams to Talk with
Wilson, Supposedly About Peace
Will Confer with President Upon His Return Here-Be
Geved She Will Discuss ACCESSIBILITY
of Mediation

With the return OF the President or
Monday it is understood Miss Jane Ad-
dams will be one OF the first visitors to
be received at the White House after Mr..
Wilson has seen the Cabinet and had
time to get settled after his vacation.
The fact will again revive the talk of
mediation by this government.
Before any progress can be made In
this direction, several things must hap
pen, according to present indications:
First and foremost, our difficulties with
Germany must be composed. and second
ly. some definite proposal must be laid
before the government before it can act
So far as can be ascertained here, the
State Department has no plan which 1t

by magic, its difficulties with Germany
and Great Britain were to pass away
overnight.
1t cannot be denied that the plain signs
that German circles in Washington
would welcome mediation now are re-
ceived with considerable suspicion by
many here. Not that they doubt the sin
certify of the proposal, but because they
feel that Germany, being at this moment
at the crest Of a second tide is eager
for mediation lest it be in no such rela-
lively happy circumstances a half-year
or year hence. Again. the returning
travellers from Europe report two camps
In Berlin, one the military Jingoes, who
are for holding everything they have con-
quered in Belgium and Russia and for
releasing that part of France they hold

Desiring to ascertain just how the men
who are interested in shipping feel with
regard to the seamens law, the Nations
Business, official publication of the
Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States, requested several heads of steam
ship companie- to give their points of
view.
Our laws and regulations must be
changed to correspond to those of for
eign nations with whom We come in d.
rect competition" says Capt. Robert
Dollar, of the Robert Dollar Company,
whose ships are engaged in trade with
China and the Pacific generally. THE
laws Of Great Britain are preferable, as,
under them, more than half of the steam
tonnage of the world is successfully
operated. Therefore. il Is fair to assume
that the British regulations cannot be
far wrong. Our laws and regulations re-
quire twenty different changes to make
the operation Of ships correspond to that
of the British.
Expense to BE Shifted.
OF the same opinion is Eugene W.
Ong, assistant general counsel of the
United Fruit Company. He declares the
whole proposition respecting the sea-
mems act boils down to this: If the
American people desire higher wages
and special privileges for seamen on
the high seas some one will have to
pay for them. II the law compels all
ships entering our ports to pay higher

| they could Justify to their countrymen.
1t has been reported that the State
Department will welcome from Jane
Adams or somebody a real plan upon
which it could act. To this invitation
Miss Adams has already said-in her
Carnegie Hall speech-that she has no
plan. but that the first step is to find
somebody, perhaps the judges Of The
Hague tribunal. or representatives of
the natural nations. whose duty it shall
be to meet at once and formulate some
policy. She feels that IL group of
men of international experience is as
signed to this job they may sooner or
later evolve something the tentative
consideration of which will bring US a
step nearer solution.
This suggestion is not, of course,
original with her. An even more inter-
esting plan was outlined on June IA,
in a petition signed by Borough Presi-
Herbert Myrick. William Jay Schief-
felin. Charles L. Bernheimer. and
others, and sent to the Washington
government and to the other neutrals
which read thus:
United States, holding all shades Of
opinion with regard to the merits of
the present conflict in Europe, fervent-
ly pray that you will use the great in
fluence of your respective governments
with the governments of the nations
at war to persuade them to appoint
delegates to continuous conference,
whereat terms and conditions looking
toward peace shall be discussed until
peace is established, or until a formal
peace conference Is organized"

Special to Tho Washington Herald
Philadelphia, July 19. Congressman
William S. Ware will be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for mayor.
according to friends and political lieuten-
ants of the Wares. who have been In con-
ference with the downtown leaders dur
ing the last few days.
Both Congressman Ware and his
brother, Senator Edwin H. Ware, remain
silent on the Congressman's candidacy.
The Ware boom has been formally
launched. however. and Ware workers are
looking for an announcement Of his cam
didacy at any time between today and
August u. when 5000 Ware workers will
attend the monster ''ox roast to be held
by the Union Republican Club Of South

FAST OF ABB OBSERVED
TODAY BY STRICT JEWS
Ceremonies Commemorate Devastation
of Jerusalem in 586. B. c. Gus
tomay to Visit Cemeteries.

At sunset yesterday began the Fast
of Ab-commonly known as the Black
Fast. On Tisho B'Ab-the ninth day of
the month of Ab-5S6 B. c., the Chal-
deans. under Nebuchadnezzar. king of
Babylon. destroyed the first temple and
laid Jerusalem waste. In the year 70 B..
c. Titus, afterward emperor Of Rome.
burned to the ground the second temple.
With the destruction of the second sane
tuary there came to an end the Jewish
commonwealth, and ever since Jews have
been wanderers over the face Of the
earth.
The fast lasts until sunset this evening
and is rigidly observed by orthodox Jews.
who abstain from all manner of food.
The synagogue is stripped of every
adornment that can be removed tenn
porarily, the curtain is taken from the
front of the ark containing the scrolls
of the law and the reading desk Is left
bare. A dim light burns. and in many
synagogues the only illumination comes
from candles held by the worshipers,
who, sitting on the ground, recite the
lamentations" of jeremiah and "kinoth"
(eiegies).
From the first day of the month no
meat is eaten in observant Jewish
homes, although some adhere to that
custom the last three days only.
In recent years. in addition to at
tending the services at the syna-
gogues and fasting and mourning. an
other significance has come to be at
tached to the fast Of Alb Zionists-
those who believe in securing Pales-
tine as a new Jewish statehood pub
lie meetings on that day and make
for the Jewish national
fund. which is devoted to land pur-
chases in Palestine.
Another custom is that Of visiting
the graves of relatives and friends
at the various cemeteries.
