CHARGE AMERICANS
 WITH ATTEMPT TO
 CONTROL MEAT TRADE

WELLINGTON New Zealand, Oct. 5. The operations of American pack ing companies represented in New Zealand are at last under official investigation. The special commit tee of the Dominion House of Rep rcsentatives which is charged with inquiry into the activities of the so-called American Meat Trust" has held it's first session.
 The investigation is the outcome of months of outcry and agitation in New Zealand by farmers organi- zations, politicians and newspapers. Perhaps the most determined and energetic assailant of the American Packers" has been w. D. Lysnar, Ex-mayor of Gisborne, and promi- nently identified with a New Zea- land refrigerator concern.
 The general charge against the American Meat Trust" is that it is surresptitiously taking advantage of the abnormal conditions due to the war to gain control of the New Zealand meat trade for after-the- war purposes, and that it is allied with shipping ring" which man. ipulates meat freights.

BIG DRIVE UNDER WAY FOR LIBERTY LOAN
 IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-The second great Liberty Loan" drive began in the Twelfth Federal Dis trict Bank when 1000 men and wo men opened the campaign at lun- cheon held in the Palace Hotel.
 Speakers urged the necessity for an overwhelming response by the people to the governments second call for money with which to finance Americas participation in the great war for the dual purpose of convinc ing her enemies both abroad and al home that the nation will brook nc interference with her solemn pledge to put an end forever to militarism autocracy and ruthlessness.
 From now until October 27th when the campaign closes, whirl wind advance in force will be made by companies of volunteer workers to make the second Liberty Loar an impressive success.

 FOOD SHORTAGE

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5.-Corres- pondcnce of The Associated Press). Owing to the expected scarcity of food during autum, the stock of live cattle in Sweden will be reduced, approximately fifteen per cent and steps are now being taken to ar range salting and packing the enor- nous quantity of meat which will result from the slaughter of cattle The government also announces that licenses have been granted for the export of 5000 head of cat tie to Norway or Finland but noth- ing to Germany as heretofore.
 The government has taken ener- getic steps to organize wood-cutting and the transportation of the enormous quantity of fuel which will be wanted in the winter. Ger many has only sent about one-fifth of Sweden's ordinary consumption of coal, 5,500,0O0 tons, and Eng land practically nothing.

ALL FRONTS BUSY.

London, Oct. 5. The allied forces are now attacking on all fronts. Advices from Petrograd in- dicate that the Russians are keeping up an effective offensive in the Riga sector; Rome advices tell about con- tinued Italian successes and the French and British forces on the wtstern front are making com bined attack over a wide section. Airmen are also busy in all sections.
 The belief prevails here that the Allies will allow the Germans no re- spite or opportunity in which to move troops from one fighting front to another. It is believed that the withdrawal of Huns from the west ern front to meet the Italian drive is largely responsible for the pres ent renewed activity of the Allies in the west.

Five Business Buildings
Were Destroyed Sunday
Morning.
SAVED BANK
Big Chemical Wagon Made
Trip Over Difficult
Roads.

Fire which virtually wiped out the
business section OF Pennington, de-
stroying five buildings and damaging
another, and entailing a loss conser-
Vatively estimated at $4,000, broke
out early Sunday morning and before
checked was fought for hours by
more than 800 citizens oil Farming

from the Fairmont Fire Department.
The 10 is partly covered by insur-
ance.
Hugh Martin. young man who
was assisting in the fire lighting, fell
from the roof of u building and was
rendered unconscious for time, but
today is better and able to be about.
The buildings destroyed and the
estimated amount OF loss were
Majestic Theater, loss $4,000.
a. Marcus, clothing store, loss
$1,000.
Thomas Martin, grocery, loss
$1,000.
John Nargo, grocery, $4,000.
John Book, warehouse, $4,000.
The Bank of Pennington, housed
In new building, was threatened,
but was saved by desperate effort
after the flames had burned out the
window frames on one side OF the
structure.
VIII Jarvis, a young man on his
way home from work at the mines,
saw the flames shooting from the
Martin grocery store. This was at
1904 Sunday morning. An alarm was
at once spread and in few minutes
the entire town of Pennington was
at work to save the business district.
The flames had reached such a height
that it was seen the Martin building
was doomed, so efforts were confined
TO saving tho remainder of Main
street.
Pennington has little or no fire

handfuls Of snow were all the avail

at the Underwood Supply company
store was connected, but the pressure
was so weak that the water would
shoot but few feet from the nozzle.
The majority of the townspeople were
engaged in carrying out furniture
and goods from the threatened stores.
Building after building was licked
up in the flame and finally the First
National Bank of Pennington was
threatened. AT this iuncture the
Fairmont Fire department was called
and Assistant Fire Chief Doolittle
with Firemen DeBerry and Wood
ward took the La France and started.
After Il terrible ride the fireman got
the big chemical wagon on the scene
and succeeded in saving the bank
building.
This morning the bank is open and
doing business and plans are already
being made for the rebuilding of
the destroyed section. The owners
of every one of the burned buildings
will rebuild, one or two Of them con-

ones which were destroyed. The in
