FIGHTING THE LIBERTY LOAN
Pro-Germans Making q Nationwide
Effort to Discourage SubscriP-
tons for the Bonds.

Washington, Oct 18.-Pro-German
agents in the United States, according
to reports to the Treasury Depart
ment, have directed their energies to
ward defeating the Liberty Loan.
Their organized propaganda has borne
fruit from Minnesota to Texas, it is
asserted, in scattered localities where
weak efforts have been made by indi-
rect methods to discourage subscrip-
tons.
The work of the pro-German agents,
officials assert, has been carried on
for more than two weeks. Some of
the workers, reports to the treasury
indicate, conducted their operations
here in the national capital.
Official recognition of the propa-
ganda against the loan was voiced to-
day by Col. Herbert NJ. Lord, repre-
senting the War Department, at the
war risk insurance conference at
which the details of the new Soldiers
and Sailors Insurance Law are being
explained to officers and enlisted men
from the various environments.
There has been an organized ef-
FORT said Colonel Lord, who was
chairman of today's meeting, ito dis
courage and defeat the loan"
This effort, he added, has been made
by seeking to misrepresent the pa
triotism of the new national army"
An official account of the proceed
ings of the conference, which was be
hind closed doors, issued tonight by
the Treasury Department, read as fol
lows:
"In convincing refutation of the
SANDER, which was to the effect that
the men of the new n&ticnal army, op
posed to war, Colonel Lord announced
that subscriptions from the army fol
the loan already aggregate rs million
dollars, and that some of the sub
scriptions were written in foreign
languages.
1.-The announcement caused great
enthusiasm among the delegates from
the army and navy marine corps and
coast guard, five hundred Of whom
swarmed up to the platform following
the address and signed war insurance
applications, all of which, except for
ty, were for the maximum of 100000

STOCK YARDS SWEPT BY FIRE
Twenty-Five Acres of Pens at Kansas
City Burned and Many
Cattle Killed.

Kansas City, Oct. 17.-Approximate-
" twenty-five acres of pens. about one
eighth of the area Of the stock yards,
was destroyed by fire, probably incen-
diary, early yesterday.
Lieut. E. J. Bishoff of No. Is En-
CINE Company. the first man tc arrive
on the scene, said he saw a fire in
the southwest part of the yards, in
the northwest, and also in the center
OF the pens, burning simultaneously
J E. Marvin, fire warden, and W.
H. Gardner, secretary to the warden,
are conducting an investigation They
believe that the pens were set on fire,
The first thought that came to the
investigators was that the supposed
incendiarism was a war plot A big
fire in the stock yards that would
cause big loss and tie up the packi 1g
PLANTS which are filling government
contracts, would be a tremendous
blow for the anti-Americans-
J. B. Dill, secretary of the Kansas
side fire department, insisted the fire
was of incendiary origin. Representa-
tives of a private detective agency
were at work before the fire was over
The double deck hog house, the ap-
proach to the stock yards bridge over
the Kaw River, eight scales and two
hay houses with cattle yariOusly esti-
mated at from two thousand to ten
thousand, were destroyed in the flames
1t is estimated that 300 hogs
persisted.
Although George R. ColIett, general
manager OF the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company, asserts that not more
head of cattle were burned, the heavy
individual losers place the figure
greatly in excess of that number.
The packers estimate that they lost
through burning about 1900 head and
Clay, Robinson & Co. said its losses
will aggregate about nine hundred
Mr.. ColIett bases his statement in the
belief that many of the cattle suppos-
eddy burned simply stampeded and are
scattered throughout the West Bot
toms.
Mr.. CoHett said that in his opinion
about twenty-five to thirty acres OF
pens were burned, entailing an esti-
mated loss of from $4,000 to $780,
600.
The sweep of the fire was principal

CAPPER IN A COAL PROTEST
Governor Notifies Federal Fuel Al
ministratcr That Retail Prices
in State Are Exhorbitant.

Topeka.-Declaring that concerted
action by retail dealers in advancing
prices to unreasonable figures, appar-
emily with a determination to ignore
federal action, is producing a lack OF
confidence In authority which must
inevitably prove Injurious" Governor
Capper recently sent letter to Harry
A. Garfield, federal coal administrator,
calling his attention to the extremely
unsatisfactory condition of the retail
coal market in the state of Kansas"
"a careful inquiry has developed no
justification for the prices now pre-
vailing," writes the governor. PRO
longed delay on the part Of the fed
eral government in giving our people
the relief they had expected from q
situation which has become intoler-
able, has created widespread unrest.
This condition of mind finds express
sion in an overwhelming number OF
letters now coming to my desk in
every mall
The governor cites an instance in a
letter received from the Commercial
Club of Scott City, in which it is
pointed out that all coal dealers in
that city advanced the price of coal 81
ton on October 6, bringing the price
of the fuel in that city to So ton
simultaneously with the protest by
Governor Capper, meeting Of the
state coal administration was called at
Hutchinson by Emerson Carey, state
fuel administrator.
The Hutchinson meeting sent the
| following telegram to Fuel Admins
traitor H A Garfield at Washington:
"At meeting of our advisory COM
| mittee the other day it was reported
| that mines working on commercial
coal are running only 40 per cent of
the time, due to lack of cars. Our
state is fast approaching a serious
shortage of coal. 1t is the opinion OF
the committee that the situation could
be relieved if preferential movement
| of cars, both loaded and empty, was
required, also use Of coal cars foE
| other purposes curtailed."

PRICES OF FOOD
TO BE LOWER SOON
Reductions to Consumers Held
Back by the Retailers and
Farmers, Hoover Says.
Wholesalers HAVE CUT COST
Essential Commodities Should Show
Reductions BY the Close of the
Year, Administrator Believes.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover announced today that
subject to cooperation from the farm
ers and retailers the corner has now
been turned in high prices for food
He said retail prices had not come
down to conform TO wholesale reduc-
tons and that is a matter for public
sentiment to correct. The admins
traitors statement follows:
1.-The food administration considers
that subject to cooperation from the
farmers and the retailers, the corner
he's now been turned in high prices
mOdities should one after another con-
tinue to show reductions between now
and the end of the year. The food
administration has no control over
either the grower or his organizations,
or Of the great majority of retailers.
Flour Is Cheaper.
1.-THE current prices at which flour
is being sold at the mill door in jute
bags vary somewhat with the locality
and freight charges on wheat, Toledo
showing the lowest prices at SO for
first patent and S9.70 for second pat
ent. The highest is at Buffalo, 5000
for first patent and 5000 for second
patent; Minneapolis shows $1,000 for
first patent and S10.46 for second pat
ent. This is a large reduction under
August prices.
1.-The regulations on the distribution
Of wheat and the manufacture of
flour were put into force the middle
of September.
1.-The average retail prices on first
patents in 796 cities on October 13 was
S13.77, or from $3.50 to $500 per bar
rel higher than is warranted by the
price being made by the millers. In
other words the retail price has not
wholly responded to the reduction
made by the millers.

NO PLANS FOR ROAD SYSTEM
Kansas Is Behind Other States in
Adopting a Scheme Of Permanent
Connected Highways.

Topeka.-What is Kansas to do with
it's $1,148,OOO federal aid road fund
which it will receive within the next
four years?
Up to the present time there has
been no program marked out that
promises any definite results from the
big fund.
Illinois, for instance, intends to
spend its federal aid fund on four state
highways of it. Illinois will have
about twice the amount of money in
This fund that Kansas will have. It
will concentrate it all in four roads
with total mileage of not more than
1900 miles.
now than to spread its S1,148,000 out
over 3,450 miles of road.
In addition to the Illinois federal aid
fund of something more than million
dollars, the state itself has a fund of
more than millions which it will add
to the federal fund on its twelve hun
dred miles. It is estimated that. the
two funds combined will amount to
$6,S00,000, and will pay two-thirds the
cost Of the four roads.
Kansas, without any additional fund
is thinking about stretching the 81,
1890 which it will receive over all
the roads in the state. In other words
Illinois is planning to spend more than
four times the amount of the Kansas
fund on about ore-third the miles OF
road.
Up to the present time Kansas has
no program for the completion of any
one Of its main highways. There is 6
great deal of interest in road building
in Kansas just now, but it is local
There is no movement, for instance
to complete the New Santa Fe Trai
from Kansas City to Hutchinson.
The good roads movement now un
| der way in the state center in short
roads, local in the service, in widely
| scattered sections. A petition for
road through Cloud county may be al
! lowed one day, and a petition for si1
| cc eight miles will be submitted t.
the highway commissioner the mex
day from Douglas county.
