the result OF intimate observations

BIG STOCKYARDS
FIRE LAID TO SPIES
1900 Cattle and 5000 Hogs
Destroyed In 100000
Kansas City Blaze.
HALF OF THE PLANT GONE
Third Disastrous Blaze in History OF
the Yards-47,000 Head of Stock in
Pens Overnieht-Many Released,
Thus Escaping Flames.

Kansas City.-More than one-half
of the Kansas City stockyards, the
second largest in the country, was
destroyed by fire.
Incendiaries, presumably Of pro-
German sympathies, are believed by
officials to be responsible for the fire,
which destroyed 1900 cattle and
5000 hogs and did approximately
S1,OO0,O0O damage at the stockyards.
Lieut.. E. J. Bishoff Of No. 16 en-
CINE company said he saw fires In
three different parts of the yards,
none of which could have been caused
by the others.
Members of the Second Missouri
home guards had been on duty at the
yards, most of which are in Kansas,
but they were removed the day before
under ruling that they could not
serve outside Missouri.
The fire, burning from two O'Clock
a. m. until daybreak, destroyed TWEEN
ty-five acres Of pens and so demoral-
lied shipments that there was no cat
tie market next day.
Thousands of cattle and hogs were
driven into the streets, but were later
rounded up. There were 47,000 cat
tie in the yards at the close of busi-
ness the day before, 1t is saiu, and,
while it was possible to liberate most
of them, so rapidly did the flames
gain headway that many were caught
and burned.
1t was the third disastrous fire in
the history of the Kansas City stock
yards. The blaze was discovered by
two patrolmen in Kansas City, Kan.'
and before they could summon appa-
ratus the fire had become unmanase-
able. Fire departments from both
Kansas Cities combated the flames.
The origin of the fire was undeter-
mined.
Throughout the morning rifemen
and sledgehammer bearers, under d.
rection Of Humane society officers,
went about the stockyards killing
disabled animals. Very few swine
were burned. The hog pens were
reached by the flames. but most of
the animals were liberated.

cording to cable dispatches received
from two widely separated points.
German sailors at Ostend, Belgium,
are reported to have mutinied against
further service on U-boats, holding II
to mean virtually sentence to death
because of the increasing efficiency
of the allied campaign. Austrian
sailors at Pola and Fiume have not
only fought their own officers, but
have fought with German submarine
crews using that port.
So high was the feeling between
the Austrian sailors and the German
submarine crews at Pola that the
Austrian command moved the Ger
mans to another base in the southern
Adriatic.

A serious mutiny occurred in the

and the crews of German submarines
The men slew their officers.
Petrograd tells of the defeat of
Russian squadron in the Riga gull
by German fleet.
According to latest reports, the
Russian fleet was being pressed back
by German forces four times its
strength, Russian troops were being
dispatched to Oesel island for coun-
ter attack, but the war office had lost
touch with the Russians there.
Shrapnel was fired at the crew of
the American schooner Ann J. Train
er by the U-boat that sunk her after
the men had fled in open boats, said
Captain Morrison, master of the
schooner, in his report on the sinking
of his vessel.
Premier Kerensky of Russia issued
an appeal to the Baltic fleet to save
the fatherland, at the same time
revealing that the attitude of the gar
rison of Kronstadt, which protects
Petrograd, had "caused the defen'
sive resources Of the fortress to be
incomplete"
German forces, after silencing Rus
sian batteries, anded men on Oesel
and Dago islands, at the entrance to
the Gulf of Riga, and Petrograd re-
ported that the garrison of Oesel put
up a stiff fight against the invaders.
