the operators, was sent out today by

GET RUMANlAN WHEAT
Germany Less Interested in Stockholm
Meeting Since Russ Drive.

London. Aug. IA dispatch from
Stockholm to the Daily News says
that Hjalmar Branting- Socialist
leader, earnestly hopes that Arthur
Henderson. secretary of the labor So
ciety who resigned Saturday as
member of the British war cabinet,
will after all attend the Stockholm
conference on the understanding that
nothing he does there will bind the
British government. Mr.. Branting
says the present feeling at Stockholm
is that the conference has lost much
of it's propaganda value thru not be-
ing held on the date originally intend
ed.
He adds that the main reason for
this perhaps is to be found in Ger
many where successes in the Russia
front, large importations of Ruman-
ian wheat, the emperor's electoral
concessions and other factors hearten-
ed the masses causing them to at
tach less importance to the confer
ence than normally. Herr Leube
member of the reichstag, is quoted as
saying during the first fortnight in
July 1000 tons of Rumanian wheat

Permitting her children to break
quarantine may cost the life of
mother at the hands of another To-

the whooping cough. Here's the way
the story has come to the city health
department:
Whooping cough was reported in
Topeka home and a quarantine plac-
ed on it by city authorities. The
children broke quarantine and played
with other children in the block A
few days later one of these children
exposed had the whooping cough.
The next day the child's mother
called on the other mother.

hair out" she said.
The women threatened begged off.
All right, said the belligerent.

BUT DUEL CALLED OFF
Argentina Cabinet Member Accepts
Apology Instead of SWORD Thrust.

Buenos Aires, Aug. 15.-Doctor
Gomez, the Argentine minister of the
interior, is at his official desk again
after having resigned to fight a duel
with Marco Aurelio Avellaneda, a mem
Der of the chamber of deputies, who
found fault with him because the fed
eral government took the governor
ship of Buenos Aires province away
from Dr. Mareelina Ugarte.
Doctor Gomez promptly resigned his
portfolio to challenge Deputy Avel-
laneda.
AS soon as his resignation had been
accepted he sent his second to call
OF those of the deputy. The result was
that the latter said he spoke of Doctor
Gomez purely from a political stand
point and without the slightest inten-
ton of reflection upon his personal
honor"
This was satisfactory, the duel was
called off and Doctor Gomez was re-
appointed by President Irogoyen to
the interior ministry.
