jgispntch says that the Dutch delega
tion to the International Socialist con
ference has addressed an appeal to
Socialists throughout the world ask
ing for support and saying they have
started their labors at Stockholm un
der great difficulties.
"The thought of peace is growing
everywhere," says the appeal. "Hvery
clay that the war continues increases
the suffering of the peoples, the heca
tombs of the victims and the billions
of debt. The Bltuation is becom
ing Intolerable and you should ask for
peace terms. In the meanwhile an
immediate agreement between the
Socialist parties of all countries is
necessary in order that international
ism may again develop its strength."
PREMIER LVOFF DESIRES
' SEPARATE PEACE TALK
PETKOGRAl), April 30. Speaking
on the subject of a Beparato peace,
Premier Lvoff said today:
"Thero has been no mention any
where in Russia of the possibility or
concluding a separate peace between
free Russia and the powers of Teuton
militarism. Among our Socialist par
ty leaders, no one has ever gone so
far as to suppose that any agreement
is advisable In this direction. Kepre
'sentatlve opinion abroad should take
more calmly some Isolated voices that
are asking for Immediate stops In
preparation for peace. Any Russian
proposal to this end will hold it es
sential that Russia shall act, then, as
always, in complete harmony with
all the allied nations."

Half tiger, half Nubian Hon, and

history of a remarkable hybrid ani
mal performer with the Al. G. Barnes
big four ring wild aniimcl circus
which will show in this city on May 2.
This strange animal was the off
spring of a Nubian lioness and a Roy
al Bengal tiger. Apparently fate, not
content with this strange parenthood,
deprived the cub of its leonine mother
while its eyes were yet unopened.
The cub was "hand-fed" by Darnes
tralnors. Within two days after the
beautiful, striped little cub was or
phaned one of the bears in the circus
lost her cub. '
Al. G. Barnes conceived tho idea of

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PURCHASES ELEVEN
The Southern Pacific company has
placed an order for cloven additional
locomotives for delivery this year in
timo to assist in tho heavy crop
movement. Tho new engines will be
the largest singlo locomotives on the
system, only exceeded in siao and
power by the huge Mallets, wiich are
really a combination of two engines.
Designed particularly for increas
ed hauling capacity at high speed,
the new locomotives will enable the
Southern Pacific to expedite freight
service and better handle passenger
trains on grade.
The necessity for meeting the na
tional crisis, has compelled tho rail
roads to purchase their material in
tho highest market the country has
ever known.
For example, the locomotives just
ordered will cost the Southern Pa
cific company $50,000 each, nn in
crease in cost over 1913 of fifty per
cent. Similarly, now freight cars
which tho railroads are hurrying to
completion cost one hundred per cent
more than they did a few years ago.
Every item which is included in the
task of equipping the railroads to face
the greatest activity they have ever
known will represent tho crest in
the high cost of living wave Being
the heaviest purchases in the country
the railroads will suffer more thnn
the individual from tho unprecedent
ed high prices. Tho difference is that
where the individual merchant may
increase the price of his products ac
cordingly, the railroads are bold to
nn income that is not increasing.

the appearance of pimples, boils or

reality, signals from nature that the
