Frantic cabinet meetings in London

a possibility that if Italy continues
to prove recalcitrant, France will
open her borders at the Pyrenees for
an inflow of any number of VOL

part of France would bring Russia
into the picture-very actively-also,

.Pokey Motorists
Termed Menace
S tate Traffic Engineer
Warns That Too Slow
Speed Endangers Safety.

"Pokey drivers are a menace on
the highway and whether they know
it or not are breaking the state law
when their road pace forces traffic
constantly to pass around them"
Thus does w. F. Rosenwald, state
traffic engineer of the state highway
department, classify the driver who
loafs down the highway with no re-
gard for the traffic behind.
cts true that in most instances
the persons who drive 80 miles an
hour in zones where a speed of so
is reasonable are of the old school
and sincerely look at themselves as
the only drivers practicing safety on
the road. Ironically, they 60 dan
gerously slow because they believe
in safety
"But if the tortoise-like drivers
would consider that they are forcing
traffic of normal speed to flow around
their cars thereby CHANGING headons
with traffic from the opposite direc-
ton, if they would consider the
chances that impatient drivers will
take to pass them, if they would con-
slider the wear and tear on the nerves
of the drivers behind them, they can
not help but become aware that they
are not safe drivers but dangerous
drivers who at times constitute big
ger threat to life and limb than the
motorist who consistently drives over
sixty. They gamble with their
neighbours lives if not with their own.
Consequently the new uniform
traffic code makes it misdemeanor
to drive so slow as to impede traffic.
The inordinately slow driver should
take into consideration others who
are using the road"
The highway patrol has been or
dered to pointedly warn pokey driv-
ers to step up their speed to rea-
sonable rate. If these warnings are
not needed, they have instructions
to bring offenders into court for pro-

Livestock Holds

Grass Cattle Decreases /;
Fat Lambs up to $lO.25;
Top Hogs $lO.55.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. II,
1887 GU. S. D. Az: Reduced run of
cattle in general proved a stimulat-
ing factor for the trade locally and
asking prices were moved up on most
all classes. Advances were hard to
secure, however, as large slaughter
buyers lacked urgent demand in some
cases and carried lower buying
orders. Demand for replacement
stock was apparently somewhat less
broad in local areas than recently,
out-shipments of stockers and feed
ers during the past several weeks hav-
ing more or less filled immediate re-
quirements of that character. Grass
cattle made up most everything
available at the weeks opening with
a large percentage of stock cattle In

Good grass fat cows cashed at $3.50
to $3.50, the best smooth fleshy young
cows above that spread. Low cutter

origin made $475 to $3.50, smooth
heavyweights upward to $500. Good

Hog trade Monday was slow with

Butchers scaling $50 to 800 pounds

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

1t seems as though the lmmedlate
fate of the human world hinges upon
two conferences which mayor may
place in the near future
What will the outcome be-peace or
war? The human world does not
know, for it can never correctly pre-
dict what may happen as results OF
more or less erratic craftsmanship
After all, the fate of nations, there
fore of individuals, rests in the hands
of very few men; they sit at big tables
in London, Paris, Washington, Rome
Berlin, Moscow and Tokyo and
"talk things over They decide the
issue of-peace or war. The peo-
pies whose very existence is at stake
have, theoretically, something to say
about it in some of the countries
In practice-nothing!
Two conferences-one pertaining
to European, one to ASiatic affairs
are possible Not yet sure. Even
if sure, they guarantee nothing. In
recent years the wrought-up human
world has seen too many futile gath
erings of that kind. 1t has lost faith
in conferences as well as in inter-
national treaties and other solemn
agreements between governments.
Defiant Italy.
AS has formerly been reported
Great Britain and France have re-
quested Italy to withdraw from the
Spanish rebel general Francisco
Francois armies all Italian volun-
teers, and invited the Italian govern
ment to participate in a conference
for further discussion of the Spanish
situation.
Italy, snarlingly defiant, has re-
piled that, in the first place, she will
not recall her troops from Spain ex-
cept on her own terms; in the second
place, she will take part in no con-
ference if Germany is not invited;
in the third place, she does not
think the question proper one for
a conference of few powers, but
feels that it ought to be taken up
by the entire non-intervention COM
mittee, representing twenty-seven ma
tons. A reference to that committee
is, from the Italian viewpoint, a
pretty safe one, for the committee
has been, judging from the negative
results of its efforts, just as inef-
fective as was, for instance, the in
ternational disarmament conference
at Geneva few years back.
And to make doubly certain that
Italy would not be misinterpreted,
she has, according to numerous re-
ports, during the last week or so
sent even more troops to Spain to
aid General Franco and also has dis
patched soldiers to Libya-to Libya,
an Italian North African colony which
