DEFENDS;
NEW GRADING ACT

Washington, Oct. 16.-A large part
of this years wheat crop has graded
high at the market-No. 3 or better
under the federal wheat standard
made effective this year, the depart
ment of agriculture announced. False
rumors have been circulated in the
grain trade, particularly among the
country shippers, says the department,
that under the new federal standard
for wheat very little of the marketed
crop is being or has been placed in
the higher grades. On the contrary,
it says, the requirements of the fed
eral standard for wheat are not such
as to work hardships on the country
shippers and producers, for under
these standards, high grades have
been given to heavy percentage OF
the wheat marketed.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 1G.-More
than one-half of the Kansas City stock
yards, the second largest in the world
was destroyed early today by fire. !,
was estimated after the fire had been
brought under control after raging
for two hours that several thousand

Third Fire.
Hundreds of cattle from the flaming
pens roamed through the downtown
sections of both Kansas Cities.
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 appar-

able.
Origin Undetermined.
The origin of the fire was undeter-
mined BY 7 o'clock the fire had been

taken a census of the number of cat

fined to the cattle pens, which CON-
prise a larger part of the yards. At
the discovery of the hre thousands Of
cattle were liberated from the pens,
and the streets of Kansas City were
filled with pushing panic stricken
herds. These animals, many of which
wandered many distances from the
fire, are being corralled by their own
ers, who are finding difficulty in find
ing their property. as large per-
centage of cattle are from farm herds

New York, Oct. 16.-The war is
costing belligerent nations $780, 900
a day-$6.500,0 an hour-and the
United States is paying at least one
quarter of this staggering sum, ac-
cording to estimates made here today
by the Mechanics and Metals National
bank of New York. The estimated
daily cost at the beginning of the war
was s50,0OO,OCO and a year ago it was
$100. 100000. This countrys rate of
expenditure is greater than any ma
ton, Great Britain being next, and
Germany next.
Cost 1855 Billion.
By next August, according to the
bank figures, the total cost to the
world will be $155 5,O00,000,0 Already
expenditures have exceeded $10O,000,-
100000, of which all but a fraction
has been translated into permanent

Demand for the dismissal Of Mich

at which Philip Scheidemann, the

the advocates of the so-called Ger

that the war profiteers were investing
millions of marks in the German

creasing number of newspapers at

The convention was far less impos-

German operations in and around
the gulf of Riga are not likely to be
extended this fall to the gulf or Fin
land on the route to Reval, Kronstadt
and Petrograd, in the opinion OF Rus
sian naval authorities. The lateness
OF the season will localize the Ger.
man efforts, the minister Of marine
believes. .'...,r
The situation created by the leu'
tonic move, however, is serious en-.
ough for the Russians. With the
great naval preponderance of the Ger
mans in the Ealtic there seems to be
little to prevent them from making
the Gulf of Riga virtually Germal,
lake, and solidifying it into strong
naval base, from which the military
operations could easily be pushed ad'
vantageously under propitious wealth
er conditions.
Virtually Unchanged.
The military situation un the Tari-
Gus fronts in the western war arena
was virtually unchanged over night,
so far as the official statements re-
veal.

lay stress again upon the violence OF
the artillery fire in Flanders, but
there are no indications that the
hombardment has yet been worked
up to the point where the British
md themselves ready for renewal
Of their drive.
Evidently much depends on the
weather in this region. In the light
of his last weeks experience with the
handicap of the Flanders mud, it
seems probable that Field Marshal
Haig will await the settling of the
ground into somewhat more pass
a Die state, although the hope of secur-
ing ordinary conditions at this late
season of the year seem to be con-
sidered small.
On the French front. the activities
are centered on the Aisne and before
Verdun. Last nights fighting in
both regions was mostly monopoliz
ed by the artillery. The German in.
fantry, however, came to life on the
west bank of the Meuse, attacking
north of Hill 304. The French found
little difficulty in repulsing this as
sault. British casualties continued to
decline. The total reported in the
last week were 14,096, as compared
with 1865 for the week closing Octo-
