MAY MOVE CATTLE TO
SOUTH TO SAVE THEM.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 28-To save
the beef industry of the United States
from a rapid and serious decline Incl
dent to the high cost of grains and
feeds, the Federal government is
turning to the south.
G. ]. Goodell, of the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, has been as
signed to the Southeast, and will have
other assistants in an effort to move
cattle out of the range regions of the
west to the semi-range regions of the
south.
Cattle raisers of the west are dis
couraged over the outlook, according
to Mr.. Goodell, and seriously men
acing the future of the beef industry
by sending the breeding stock to the
slaughter pens.
Western growers with thousands of
cattle have been writing government
authorities about possibilities of leas-
ing pasture lands in the south. They
are especially interested in the cut
over pine lands and the greatly in
creased acreage of velvet beans in the
south this year.
Government agents in the west are
locating live stock that can be bought
These they are grading according to
quality so that a buyer in the south
can order by mail with assurance oil

WASHINGTON Aug. 27-America' s
administrative officials have to play.
They could not stand the strain Of
the enormous task of war-making If
they did not All of them have their
hobby.
President Wilson is a golfer of no
mean ability. He has never played to
any great extent in public, but those
who know his game claim it is cork
ing good"
Secretary Lane COLTS a little, but
he gets most of his exercise out OF
the morning setting-up exercises
which Walter Camp, conducts three
or four days a week for high officials.
Postmaster General Burleson likes
to do some fishing. Week-ends, when
it is possible, he slips away to a
stream in the Blue Ridge mountains
or to Chesapeake Bay and gathers in
the "finny tribe"
Newton Baker may be Secretary of
War, but he is strong for the water.
Coming from the inland he is per-
haps the greatest mariner in the cabi-
net. Secretary Baker finds great de-
light in going down the Potomac riv-
er in the Mayflower, or the Sylph, and
he takes a river trip whenever he
finds himself going just little bit
stale.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
gets away from Washington when he
begins to tire. In the Pennsylvania
mountains, with his family, he takes
long walks into the country.
OF the senators and congressman
there are a score or more of real golf
enthusiasts and they can be found
almost any afternoon at one of the
Washington country clubs. Many OF
the western Legislators go in for driv-
ing and riding.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield is
an automobile enthusiast. Not a
speed enthusiast. but a lover of long
automobile rides. The Attorney Gen
eral, Thomas Watt Gregory, is also a
great automobile lover.
Uncle Joe Cannon the venerable
law maker, finds much of his pleas
ure in dominoes. Whether it is the
dominoes or the story telling which
amuses him most is hard to state
Every official has some form of di-
version which he finds time to prac-
tice There need be no fear that the
members of this administration will
go stale, for they have recognized the
value of recreation in times when the
burden of war is heavy upon them.

CLEVELAND, o., August 2S-Field
Marshal Won Hindenberg was very
shy as boy, and Ferdinand Bromske,
seventy-four, can't imagine him as a
stern commander in the field. Mr..
Bromske and Hindenberg attended the
same school back in Neudeck. Once,
when Bromske was playing Shiny,
he cracked the shins of Won linden
berg, but the latter did not take Of

were killed in the war with France in

Two Principals Given to U. S. Officials to Present Statements

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The dlrec tors of the American Peace Society have decided to call an open meet, ing of peace workers to be held here January 20 for the purpose of con. siering a definite program for inter national reorganization designed to secure a lasting peace as soon as the present war is over.
 A plan to be submitted has been drafted by James Brown Scott, chair man Of the American neutrality board and secretary of the Carnegie en, dowmcnt for international peace, and is understood to have the approval of Secretary Lansing.
 Some modification of it is expect, ed to be adopted by those in favor of permanent peace secured by inter national legislatures, courts and pub lie opinion, as opposed to those whc are supporting the suggestion of an international force.
 Between these two principles it has been officially stated the admins tration has not committed itself President Wilson has been commonly supposed to support the program Of the League to enforce Peace having 5pOken at its meeting here several months ago and having said in somC )f his campaign speeches that "the moral force, not only but the physi. gal force of this country, should bC use to guarantee pcaSe.

Baron von Burian repeatedly has been reported to have resigned as Foreign minister since he took Of. lice in January 1915, succeeding Count Berchtold. These reports have multiplied since the entrance Of Ru. mania into the war and the acccs- sion of Emperor Charles. They were coupled with numerous statements to the effect that the new Austrian ru. Ter very materially would modify the foreign policy of the dual empire. Baron von Burian generally was cred tied with being strongly under the influence of Berlin and it was re- ported that Emperor Charles was anxious to emphasize more sharply the Individuality of Austria
 When Emperor Charles ascenled the throne Baron von BuriRn coupled the duties of Foreign minister with those of Finance minister. He was relieved of the latter portfolio on December 9 and Count von Hohenl. ore was appointed in his stead.
