Chieago, April 29.--A strike of bakers in Chicago which was called in 15 bakeries yesterday afternoon. has assumed serious proportions in the opinion of city officials.

 Owners of the plants and members of the bakers union held separate meetings today and each side declared it's intention of standing firm and it was reported there was little likelihood of an immediate settlement of the dis pute Members of the state board Of arbitration arrived today to offer their services in the interest of a settlement.
 At the same time city officials pre- pared to call meeting of representa- tives of both sides tomorrow in the hope of settling the controversy.
 If the strike is not settled within T. reasonable time it is possible that the federal government may take action in relieving the situation.
 Agents for the federal government are closely observing the effect of the strike and have noted that large ma jority of the strikers were either born in Germany or have Teutonic ante cedents. Both sides. however, declare that this fact has nothing whatever to do with the strike

'SEEADLER SIGHTED | CAPTAIN BELIEVES | 0FF VIRGINIA CAFES German Raider Believed To
 Have Been Seen By a Standard Oil Tank Steamer Crew

New York, April 29.-The captain of Standard oil tank steamship which ar rived here today, said he had no doubt. but that mysterious vessel which he sighted Thursday night and Friday morning off the Virginia coast was the German raider Seeadler. The stranger was four-masted bark and had all sails set, but in a six-knot breeze she was proceeding 10 or Ii knots, the skipper re- ported, and it was obvious she was equipped with motor power.
 Shortly before g o'clock Thursday night, according to the captains log, the bark was sighted 15 miles south of the Diamond Shoals lightship off Cape Hat teras. She steered across the tanker's stern and disappeared
 At 12:3O a. nl Friday she returned, the captain said, and came alongside. Forty five minutes later she had passed close across the tankers bow and disappeared.
 Several vessels arriving at American ports recently have reported the presence of the strange vessel in the Atlantic. In marine circles here little credence has been placed in reports that the Seeadler was operating off the North American coast.

In discussion the chief clashes will
 arise over the maximum conscription age. the Senate's decisive approval and the
 Houses rejection of the provision de- fined to permit Colonel Roosevelt to re- cruit a volunteer force for immediate
 service abroad and the Senate clause prohibiting liquor sales near training camps and to uniformed soldiers. Senti-
 ment in the Senate is overwhelming against conscripting men over 30 years.
 House members are regarded as equally determined to accept nothing less than a 40-year maximum. Senate leaders plan to resume consid- eration of the administration espionage
 measure, with interest centered on it's presidential export embargo provision.
 Many other food questions are before
 both houses and the administration bills to deal with various food supply ques- tions may be introduced in both houses tomorrow or Tuesday.
 Before the army bill Is taken up to-
 morrow Senator Smith of Georgia plans
 to secure action upon his resolution to
 have the Senate interstate commerce committee intervene in the railroads application before the Interstate cons-
 inerce commission for 15 per cent freight rate increase. Because of cop-

that it is quite impossible to count on
getting any considerable amount or
wheat from Australia, India or Argen-

great national contribution to the needs

WHY WE ARE ASKED TO SAVE
WHEAT

Many of our people are at a loss to
understand why the saving of wheat is
regarded as SO essential at the present
time. \ review of the situa ton exist
ing in this country and in Europe will
probably help TO clarity the situation.
Previous to the outbreak of the war.
the export of wheat from the United
States TO France, Italy, Great Britain
and Belgium amounted to about 79,427,
50~oushels. These same countries i'm
ported from Canada about ll2, SOC, 900
bushels. To meet their requirements
they also imported from other countries
an average of about lSS,47S.OOO bushels.
These four countries now constituting
cur allies Imported about SSO,s04.0OO
bushels of wheat before the outbreak
of the present conflict. The average
production of wheat in the countries
enumerated above runs about 59O.655, o00
bushels. According to the best auhtori-
ties available they will not produce this
year more than S93,770,O00 bushels.
When we add this to the total shown
above. We find that the imports required
to maintain normal consumption in the
four countries mentioned will this year
reach the staggering total of 577,7OS,-
600 bushels Of wheat. If the 100000, 600
people in the four countries mentioned
are to be supplied with Npread, theTe-
fore the vast amount of wheat men,
toned must be secured from some
source and delivered to their civilian
population and fighting armies with
some deere of regularity. Failing to
secure these supplies of wheat the
hghting efficiency of these countries Will
be minimized or crushed out altogether.
In case any of them should fail. an ad-
ditional burden will naturally be cast
upon our country. Hence, every citizen
OF the United States is interested in see
ing that the allied countries obtain In
so far as possible the amount of wheat
indicated above.
II is for this reason that the United
States food administration is asking
people to make sacrifices in the matter
OF using white flour and to CO. operate
with it in the saving of bread. From
the point of view indicated above, this
becomes a thoroughly patriotic and es-

Cows sometimes get off feed and It
takes some time to bring them back to
a normal condition. Probably your COW
over ate. The ration you are giving her
is all right If fed in proper proportion
The chances are that she consumed more
cottonseed meal than she could digest
AMI handle to advantage and thus upset
her digestion. In order to keep a COW In
a good vigorous condition it is also de-
sirabIe that some green feed be provided.
If your pastures are in good condition
she should have obtained plenty from
this source. If it has been dry in your
part of South Carolina as it has been
in this part of Georgia the pastures az
ford very little succulent food and 1t
would be good practice under such con-
dtions to cut few stalks of corn or
sorghum or any other green food avail
able This adds to the variety and
palatability of the roughage pare of the
ration.
If your COW does not seem to have
recovered her normal condition I sug-
gest that you give her good dose OF
EPSON salts as drench. Use 10 POUNDS
for this purpose. Then feed her the
following digestive tonic for a few days.
Sulphate of iron, ounces; nitrate or
potash (salt peter). ounces; gentlan
root (pulverized), 2 ounces; nux vom-
lea seed (pulverized), 1 ounce; ginger
root (pulverized, l ounce. These are
| to be thoroughly pulverized and mixed
and a heaping teaspoonful of the mixture
given in the food three times daily. In
! case your COW will not eat the powder
| omit the gentian root and add linseed
meal.
| Do not give over to pounds OF
cottonseed meal per 1000 pounds o.
! live weight. Cut the shucks and othe
| roughage up, moisten slightly win
water containing a little salt and allow
| 70 stand a few hours before feeding
| This should add greatly, to their paiata
