usefulness, has swept over The conn-

thing piquant about them, and they
are playing a most important part in
the wardrobe off the the woman woman who keeps

SLAUGHTER OF CATTLE
NECESSARY IN GERMANY

BY the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN. August 11.-Repre-
sentatives of the German farming in
terests and the war food bureau at a
meeting recently held in Berlin decided
that the shortage of fodder necessitated
drastic slaughtering of cattle this sum-
mer and autumn. The farmers reported
that pasturage was poor, that the hay
and clover crops We're scanty owing to
drought and that only small amounts
of potatoes and grain were available for
fodder above the requirements of hu-
man consumption
To avoid the earlier mistake of vast
ing fodder and barely keeping the cat
tie alive through the winter the farm
ers were advised to market all except
mich cows, indispensable draft cattle.
now largely replacing horses. and such
animals for which winter fodder to keep
them in good condition was available.
The measure was recognized as dam
gerous in respect to meat rations this
winter and in 1918, to the future of the
live stock industry and the supply of
manure. but the hopes of the farmers. it
was said. were set on an early peace

ALEXANDRIA,. Va, August 1.-THE
plant of the Alexandria Gazette. the
only daily newspaper published in Al

newspapers in America, was consider
ably damaged at o'clock tonight as
the result zof a fire which started on
one of the upper floors occupied by the
Fl. S. Marine Company, boys pants

The floor where the fire originated
was badly damaged. and the damage
done TO the newspaper plant on the
first floor was by water. The Gazette
company owns the building.
The press of the newSpa per. its two
linotype machines and its stock of
paper were damaged by water which
came through from the upper floors
in torrents, 1t was necessary to
cut large hole in the floor of the
Gazette Office in order to let the water

the Gazette to places of safety, and its
cred with canvas. but the water
soaked through.
The entire stock of the Marine Com
pany, including its stock OF unfinished
material many pairs OF pants and
thirty sewing machines, was destroyed.
Just how the fire started is not
known. Thick clouds of smoke issuing
from the establishment retarded the
firemen for while in their work, al
though the fire was subdued in less
than an hour.
The Marine Company gave employ
ment to about thirty women and girls.
1t is believed that the Gazette VIII be
able to operate Its plant Monday. No

DANES REFUSE TO CARRY
STOCKHOLM DELEGATES

COPENHAGEN, August II. Peter
Wright. director of the British Sea-
mems and Firemens Union. has been
informed by the Danish Seamen' 5
Union that the latter organization ad-
heres to its earlier resolution not to
carry peace delegates to the Stockholm
conference. The Danish union stands
with the British union in this respect.
Mr. Wright. who has been devotins
some time in Scandinavian countries to
the study of conditions underlying the
Stockholm conference told the -Associ-
ated Press that he was firmly convinced
the conference is wholly a German
scheme. He added that all the arrange
ments and the sympathy with the idea
are the result of wire-pullinS by Ger
mans or pro-Germans in neutral coun-
tries,
He thoroughly approved the stand
taken by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. and
spoke bitterly of the conference ad-
vocates in his own country, saying that
they merely We're helping the Germans
out of difficulties. and that peace now
would result in renewal of the war
within a few years.

BLAME POOR BALLS
FOR PITCHERS EXIT
Large Number of Unexpected
Departures From Mound This
Season Accounted For.

CHICAGO. August 11.-What is
wrong with the pitchers in the major
leagues? Something is the matter-we
have it on the authority of Connie
Mack. the shrewd pilot of the Athletics.
Practically every manager will agree
with him, but none has offered a solu-
ton.
According to the statistics more I'M
expected departures from the mound
have transpired this year than ever
before. Pitchers who are counted on
as the steadiest in the league walk to
the box in the seventh or eighth inning
with a record of two or three hits be-
hind them and then blow the game.
The exit comes earlier for some and
the figures Will show that a raft of
them have FASTENED to the showers in
the ninth. Is the base ball used this
year responsible? Possibly: and this
brings to light the fact that players
have roared their heads Off on account
of the pill. 1t is claimed that the ball
is deader than ever, that 1t does not
keep its shape and that the covering
offers slight protection to what is I'M
der it
Blame the latter on the war The
manufacturers admitted after the Eu-
ropean conflict started that they were
unable to get the right kind of leather
for the covering, and that an inferior
domestic product was being used The
covering on league base balls used
three years ago came from Siberian
pony hides.

Immediately on the receipt of this

request that you communicate it to the
conference. You omitted to do so 1t
is true that in the course of your speech
YOU made a very casual reference to
some modification in the attitude of the

fest difference between the effect which
would necessarily be produced upon any
audience by Indifferent summary of
that description and by the communica-
ton to them of official information
showing that the attitude of the Rus
sian government toward the Stockholm
was very different from what
had been supposed.
In these circumstances your action
does not appear to have been fair either

necessarily must have affected their

fore. with no small surprise that re-
ceived Il letter from you yesterday art
ernoon stating that you ought to in
form me after most careful considera-
ton that you had come to the conclu-
sion that you could take no other
course than to stand by the advice you
had given the day after your return
from Russia. and that your colleagues
subsequently read the speech, which
YOU ought to have informed the cabinet
of before you entered the conference
wv hen you spoke at that conference
You were not merely member of the
labor party. but member OF the cap-
met, responsible for the conduct OF
the war. Nevertheless. you did not
deem it necessary to inform the con-
ference of the views of your colleagues,
and the delegates accordingly were
testified in assuming that the ADVICE
You gave was not inconsistent Win
their opinions.
THE second point is this: Yesterday
morning we received n most important
communication from the Russian gov
eminent in which were informed
that although the Russian government
did not deem it possible to prevent
Russian delegates from taking part
in the Stockholm conference. they re-
garded it as party concern and IT'S
decision as in nowiSe binding on the
of action of the government
