PEACE MEETINGS HELD IN
 LARGE CITIES OF GERMANY Under Auspices of National Commit tee For Securing Honorable Peace.

Berlin, Aug. 2, Noon. via London, 9.56 D. m.-The announced meetings of the national committee for secur- ing an honorable peace were held in some forty of the larger cities of Germany last night but at none of the meetings so far as available re- ports indicate, did the moderates give any precise statement concerning the conditions of peaces they would like to see them.

 Professor AdoIfo Harnack was speaker at the Berlin meeting which was held in the great Philharmonic hall. He delivered an academic Iec- ture on the situation but made no surprising statements regarding the aims of the warlS.
 Professor Harnack warned his au- ditors against expecting or demand ing toe much from the resolutions of the war as Germany must remember the lot of her confederates as well as her own success.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 2.-The Deutsch- lands departure to sea followed an eighteen mile dash through the lower Chesapeake bay. After proceeding slowly most of the way down, she in creased her power at 6.30 and reached the capes just after dusk. None of the allied cruisers was visible as she pass ed through.
 Disappeared Unharmed
 Whether she submerged before reaching the three-mile limit is un- known. The two accompanying boats only knew that she disappeared un- harmed and that to all appearances she had a clear field ahead to a point where she could completely submerge in safety.
 Half an hour after the last light of the Deutschland had disappeared, the Timmins, seemingly satisfied with her work, turned back and headed up Chesapeake Bay in the direction of Baltimore.
 During part of the day the Deutsch- land had remained hidden at a cove up Chesapeake Bay.

DISREGARD OF SIGNS
CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE

Thirteen lives lost and 104 persons
injured in the first eight months of
1916 at grade crossings of the Penn
sylvania system are cited by officials
of the road as showing the results of
disregard of the stop. Look and Lis
ten" signs on the part of the public.
The accidents were wholly avoidable,
it is claimed. and occurred under cir
cumstances the very nature of which
proved total disregard of caution, and
in many cases willful running of risk
This is shown as the result of spe-
cial inquiry. which has just been com
pleted, for the purpose of ascertainlns
the extent of recklessness on the part
of the public at highway crossings over
the tracks of the railroad.
large proportion of these accidents
occurred to automobilists. The drivers
of twenty-three motor cars smashed
their machines into the sides of trains
that were actually part way over the
crossings. Four lives were lost in this
way and ffty-one persons were injured.
Six motor cycles. two bicycles, and four
horse drawn vehicles We're similarly
driven into the sides of trains, causing
the deaths of two persons and injury
of fourteen.
Six automobiles crashed into, or
through. safety gates while they were
down and nine people were hurt. Five
motor cycles and two horse drawn ve-
hicles did likewise, causing injury to
ten people.

HEAVY LOSS TO PUBLIC IN
SHORT GASOLINE MEASURE
Federal Bulletin Gives Some Causes
Of Wrongs Purchasers Suffer
Through Pump Systems.

Enormous monetary losses are suf-
the short delivery of gasoline through
pumps used in measuring, according to
bulletin issued today by the bureau
of standards. In one state alone, Illi-
nois. the loss to the public from this
source amounts to S530,O00 a year, ac-
cording to the bureaus estimate.
The principal causes of short deliv-
cry are said to be leaks in valves or
piping; formation of vapor due to eX-
cessive suction lift, or the introduction
of air under the piston; failure to cor
rect for the inertia of a long column
of moving liquid: the use of long filling
hoses with a low connection at the
an impossibility; short stroking" or
operation of pump at less than full
stroke Casually deliberately and slip
page past valves and piston.
"Of numerous measuring systems of
various types chosen at random and
tested by the bureau of standards in
spector in number of different cities,
70 to so per cent had excessive errors
says the bulletin. There were many
outfits Sc constructed as to be abso-
lutely unsuited for retail liquid dis
penSing.
"Of these outfits which were incor-
rect. nearly all were delivering in de-
fciency. which is unfortunately char
acteristic of types of measuring pumps
now most commonly used. This tend
ency toward deficient measurement is
worthy of careful consideration as it
results in the aggregate in enormous
losses to the public

HEAVY VOTE FOR HUGHES.
Mr.. BOURNE'S PREDICTION

| prediction that the total vote for
Hughes November z will exceed the
combined vote cast for Roosevelt and
Taft four years ago is contained in a
statement issued by former Senator
Jonathan Bourne, jr., president of the
Republican Publicity Association. 1t is
predicted, also. that Wilson will receive
smaller number of votes than he did
at the last election
Based upon information received
from editors of over 1900 newspapers
representing every section of the
United States, we are confident that
Hughes and Fairbanks will carry every
northern state, and that they have at
least an even chance in the border
states of Maryland and Kentucky
Large gains will be made in Tennessee,
Virginia, North Carolina and Okla
homa.
Many democratic prognosticators
PVT Ohio, New York, Illinois and Mis-
souri, in the debatable column, but un-
less the editors from whom we have
received our reports are very badly
FOOLED these states are safely repub-
lcan and Will participate in the land
slide which will eliminate in an over
whelming republican victory
our reports show that with the ex-
ception of about a half dozen coun-
ties. the republican party is reunited
and the indications are that where
there is still dissensiop it is over To-
cal and not over national issues"
