SOCIALIST PARTY
 OPPOSES WAR BY
 LARGE MAJORITY
Referendum Vote Was 21,639 to 2752-COnscrip- tion of Wealth Is
 Advocated

Chicago, July 7-Members of the so- cialist party in the United States have approved by an overwhelming major ity the statement of the party's oppo- sition to the war with Germany sub mitted by the majority of the commit tee on war and militarism appointed by the St. Louis convention last April. The party's executive committee, meeting here today announced that the vote in favor of the majority proc lamation was 21,639 to 2752.
 MEASURES ADVOCATED
 The socialist party, according to the referendum, opposes the entrance of the United States into the war, but advocates the application of socia1istic doctrines to war measures. The two principal innovations urged are the conscription of wealth as well as of men and public ownership of all na- tional industries vital to the prosecu- ton of the war. Differences between the majority and minority proclama- tions consisted chiefly in the fact that the minority recommendations omitted the preamble in which the majority condemned the war in extreme terms ds tIe must uhJuSllAlCo Wdl III IllC history of the world"
 It was explained that the minority agreed with other socialists in oppos- ing in general, but argued that with this country already plunged into hos tilities, the party should devote it. self to a practical programme based on socialist principles rather than in- quire into the merits of the contro- versy
 Morris Hillquit. Victor L. Berger and A1gernon Lee, who were refused pass ports by the state department when they desired to go to Stockholm to represent American socialists at the international conference there, were three of the leading members of the committee majority Allan L. Benson, the party's nominee for President in 1916, and John Spargo led the minor- ity.

German Birds of Prey Again Attack London
 and Men, Women and
 Children Are Victims
Continued from Page one)

(COnttnued from Page One) sons in solidly constructed buildings are comparatively safe, but the windows of of these buildings were today crowded with young clerks determined not to miss the spectacle at whatever cost. A bomb fell in the center of one we'll known street and the explosion shattered windows several hundred feet on both sides.
 Numbers of the skygazers in this sec tion were badly cut by flying glass.
 FATE OF POOR
 The fate of the humble dwellers In workmen's houses was different. They had no chance for their lives. The sight now familiar to Londoners, of dis tracted, sobbing mothers rushing about the ruins of tenements. fearing to find. and sometimes finding, the mangled bodies of their children, was the most moving incident of the German victory. A thorough investigation of the results of tho battle by staff correspondents of the Associated Press showed that no military, munitions or supply establish ments was touched Apparently none WAS sought, since the Germans undoubt- edly well knew their locations
 Five minutes after the explosions ceased the streets Of the districts at ta cked were jammed with masses of humanity.
 Fire engines ambulances, patrol wag- ons, motors with nurses and doctors seemed to spring from the earth The police were everywhere. Hundreds of special civilian constables were running to their stations tying on their arm bands as they ran.
 ANGER AND DETERMINATION
 Anger and determination seem to be the dominating sentiments of the popu- lace One certain result of the raid will be an increased demand for reprisals on German cities. Several members of Parliament have already announced their purpose to raise the question.
 The sentiment recently voiced most strongly by the Archbishop of Canter- bury and seconded by perhaps the ma jority of the substantial leaders not lie opinion that the British should not descend to the level of the Germans is not popular with the masses, and the suggestion that the slaughter of English civilians would cease if each visitation was quickly followed by 8 similar stroke against German city. commands strong support among those who have looked on the bodies of their slain and mangled countrymen.

Meat that Is to be smoked shOdld be

brine it viii be best to soak the pieces
in cold water overnight to prevent a
crust of salt from forming on the out
side when drained. Washing the meat
in tepid water and scrubbing clean
with a brush is good practice. The
pieces should then be hung up to drain
for u day or two. When drained they

This results in heavy smoke on the out
side and very little on the inner por-
lions of the meat. During the spring
months and in the summer light fire
may be started every second or third
day for two weeks, the meat being al
lowed to hang in the smokehouse until
sufficiently colOred. When the fire is
kept going steadily and an even tenn
perature is maintained, twenty-four to
thirty-six hours will be required to fin

penetrate frozen meat, and It will be
necessary to extract all frost from 1t
before filling the house. The house
should be kept dark at all times to pre-

SMOKING MEATS ON THE FARM
Proper Methods Aid In Preservation as
Well as In PaIatabiity.

Proper Methods Aid In Preservation as
Well as In PalatabiIity.
prepared by UnIted States department Of
agricultural
Proper smoking will not only aid in
the preservation of picked and cured
meats, but also will add to their palat-
ability. The preservative effect in
smoking is due to the formation of
creosote by the combustion Of wood,
this substance closing the pores of the
meat to some extent, thereby excluding
the air and also forming a coating OBJ
jectionable to insects.
The most important dimension of the
smokehouse il its height. This should
be eight or ten feet to insure best re-
suits. The horizontal dimensions should
be determined by the amount of meat
likely to be smoked, 6 by feet being
large enough for ordinary farm use.
Ample ventilation should be provided
to carry off the warm air in order to
prevent overheating the meat. Small
openings under the caves or chimney
in the roof will be sufficient If arrang-
ed SO as to be easily controlled. A fire
pot outside of the house proper, with
a fue through which the smoke may
be conducted to the meat chamber,
gives the best conditions for smoking.
When this cannot be arranged a fire
may be built on the floor Of the house,
and the meat shielded by a sheet of
metal. Where the meat can be hung six
or seven feet above the fire, this pre-
caution need not be taken. The con-
struction should be such as to allow
the smoke to pass up freely over the
meat and out of the house, though
rapid circulation is at the expense of
fuel.
Brick or stone houses are the best,
though the first cost is greater than If
they are built of lumber. Large dry
goods boxes and even barrels may be
made to serve as smOkehouseS where
only small amounts Of meat are to be
smoked. The care of meat in such sub
the results so much less satisfactory
that a permanent place should be pro-
Vided If possible.
The best fuel for smoking meats is
green hickory or maple wood smoth-
cred with sawdust of the same mate
rial. Hare wood of any kind is prefer
able to soft wood. Reslnous woods
should never be used, as they are likely
to impaFt bad favors to the product.
Corncobs are the best substitute for
hard wood and may be used if desired
Soft wood and corncobs give off large
amounts of carbon In burning, and this
Is deposited on the meat, making it
dark In color and rank favored. Juni
per berries and fragrant woods are
sometimes added to the fire to flavor

FIGHT WEEVIL BY
 PICKING SQUARES WHICH PUNC1URtD
Meeting of Farmers Decides
 That Immediate Steps to . Save Crop Necessary.

Within the next two weeks, must be taken the steps necessary to com bat successfully the boil weevil which is already working havoc to the cotton crop of Jefferson, county, or it will be impossible for anything to be done against the destructive iE- sect the remainder of. the summer.
 With this fact well understood, a meeting of farmers, at the home of J. A.. Mccoy, on the river about 15 miles above Pine Bluff, -adjournel last night, determined to begin today carefully and painstaklngly picking over their cotton fields, to get all squares which have been punctured by the old weevils, to destroy these squares before,the young weevils can be matched and star. their cam paign. =@
 There were about score of men present at the meeting, a dozen or more cotton farmers among them. County Farm Agent C. H. Thomas and others made plain statements of the fact that if,the boil weevil is not controlled by July 15, Le will not be controlled thruout the summer. and the manner of operating likewise was made plain.
 Old boil weevils, living thru the winter, have punctured the early squares, where the eggs, have been laid. Every punctured square must be picked from the cotton fields and burned, thus preventing the matching of the young weevils. This picking must be done at once, ans =z.l.t later than July 15, or the young weevils will emerge by the million, to finish the work already well started by other conditions in this section.
 It was stated by one cotton planter yesterday that ,this section is now facing condition perhaps more serious, in relation to the cotton crop. than it has faced in very many years, @'>&1 fasN v

company, providing for street light 1 ing for period of 10 years, at an annual cost of $11S,1a0. The city will get 473 lights of 6c candle power to burn all night, SS6 lights of 250 candlepower, in white way'' globes, to burn until il p. m. on week days and 12 D. m.5 on Saturdays; and 15 lights, in white way" globes, to burn all night. wniie additional lights of any candlepower may be had at prices fixed in the contract.
 An ordinance was adopted, requir- ing that all water barr els, slop bar rels. or other such receptables, being mosquito breeding places, must be coveced with alright lids or with oil, under penalty of fine of from S5 to $10
 An ordinance was passed increas- ing the salary of Mack Whittle, guard of the city prison gang, from $6O to $65 per month.
 The contract for city advertising was awarded The Graphic and the Commercial equally, the papers to carry the advertising in alternate months. The councilmen decided that the purpose of printing the city ordinances and other notices. was to reach the public, hence the daily papers were needed for such adver- Using.
 The council adopted an ordinance granting to the Cotton Belt railroad the privilege of building a spur track in West Fourth avenue from Willow to Peach streets, for peri cd of 25 years, in consideration of the sum of $25. A committee of manufacturers whose plants are To- cated in that vicinity, and commit tee from the chamber of commerce, urged the passage of the ordinance.
 Many routine matters were dis cussed and acted upon among others the report showing the great i'm provement in conditions at the ceme- tery as a result of recent work there. another showing that grass and weeds in Athletic park will be cut to- day by the city forces, for the bene- fit of the Home Guard. and another showing that considerable complaint exists against conditions around the sewer outlet off Louisiana street, probably requiring considerable expenditure by the city to remedy conditions.
