OFFICERS TRYING TO PREVENT
 COMPLETE CHARACTERIZATION
Confident That Governor Elect Man
 hing Will Resoind Order.


 Columbia, $. C., Jan. 11-Officers of the South Carolina militia, which was disbanded today by Governor BIease, took steps tonight to prevent a com plete Reorganization of the troops. They were confident that Governor elect Manning, who will succeed BIease next week, would rescind the order.
 Telegrams were sent tonight to South Carolina members Of congress urging them to have the war depart ment delay asking return of $200,0 worth of supplies issued the militia.
 Differences between the governor, the militia and the war department over organization and equipment of the troops were given by Governor Blease as the reason for his action. The of ficial order said it would be unjust and unfair on the governors part to turn over to his successor in office the militia in it's present condition
 Adjutant General Moore will go to Washington tomorrow to confer with war department officials on the situa- ton.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-01-12

Only sporadic fighting is taking place on any of the battle fronts, ac- cordiug to the latest reports. and this is almost all between the artillery branches of the opposing armies. Probably the heaviest infantry en- gagement occurred on the lower Nida river, in Southern Poland, where the Austrians claim that they repulSed with severe losses Russian attempts to cross the stream at several places.
 No Notable Victories.
 No victories of strategic value are claimed by either side at any place and no repulses are forecast by any of the war chanceliories which is in dicative of a serious defeat. In fact the situation everywhere remains Nlr- tually as it has for some time past a, condition of stalemate prevailing owing to the ll-entrenched positions Of the combatants. Rain and mud hampers any attempt at n1anuuveh- ing by the armies in the loWlands while in the Vosges snow has almost stopped the severe attacks and count CT attacks that prevailed thmoughout last week when the French were try ing to gain additional ground III AL sace and the Germans were endeavof- ing to hold them back.
 The Austrians charge that the Rs5s- sians are using AusETo~dungarian uni forms in order to catch Austrian pa trols. It is declared that the rights of beIligerents will not be accorded Russians so masquerading.
 French DFesdnousht Reported Sunk.
 A Berlin woreless despatch asserts that the French dreadnought Courbet was recently torpedoed by an Aus trian submarine in the Adriatic and later was rammed my her sister ship, the Jean Bart, and sank. The Jean Bart WAS damaged and docked at 3Ealata-

Governor BIease
 DisbandS Militia
ORDER INVOLVES 5000 MEN IN
 SOUTH CAROLINA.
STATE FEDERAL ROW
Differences. He Says, Have Resulted in Serious Breaches of Discipline Unfair to Turn Over to His Success sor inefficient Militia.

Columbia, $. C., Jan. 1.-The organ ized militia of South Carolina was dis banded by an order signed today by Governor Blease. The order is eff fectiye immediately. Approximately 3 OOO men are involved, including about 500 whom the governor had refused to muster out of service upon orders reveiced about eight months ago from the chief of the federal division of mi litia affairs.
 Serious Breaches of Discipline.
 Governor Blease explained his action in the aOrder, stating that the df- ferences between the secretary of war and the secretary Of the navy ana ana State Gdjutant Moore on one side and himself on the other, prompted him to take the step. The difference, he said resulted in serious breaches or dISci- pline in the militia corps.
 "The present governor of the state of South Carolina is of the opinion that 1t would be unfair and unjust on his part to turn over to his successor in office the militia of South Carolina in it's present condition, the order read.
 Friction Arose Two Years Ago.
 Friction to which Governor Blease referred in his order disbanding the militia, arose about two years ago and according to reports of the ad- jutant general, resulted in a marked deterioration in the troops efficiency. Cause of the Controversy.
 The cause of the controversy be- tween Governor BIease and Adjutant General Moore was said to have been the result of the governors refusal to sign some official papers presented by the adjutant general.
 The secretaries of war and the navy became parties to the controversy ac- cording to official statements, when the accounting for about S100, ,000 worth of federal property. which the depart ments claimed had been lost and de- stroyed by the militia organizations, was held up.
 Governor Forbade Encampment.
 The situation became further com plicated last summer when the gov 5ernar refused to permit the militia to participate in the annual encampment ordered by the war departmnet. That action, according to statements from the adjutant generals office, resulted in appropriations by congress aggre- gating about -S55.000 for maintenance and equipment of the South Carolina military being held up by the war de- partmeht, pending settlement of the differences. Adjutant Genral Moore will gos to Washington to cofer with war department officials over re-or- ganizatiOn of the troops when Govern or Blease's term expires January 19.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET
 I-DEMoRALlzED
Big Houses with Selling Orders Could
 Not Find Buyers.

Chicago, Jan. f1.-Wheat came near CT to a panicky market today than at any time for months. There were many cases in which big houses with selling orders could not find buyers. The en- tire trade was mi-demoraIized dur ing a brief period with prices melting away fast, but a show of relative steadiness was finally brought about.
 It was not until wheat values had broken down s 1-4 cents a bushel be- low the top notch war price a few days ago that frantic sellers could be forced to recognize that confirmation was lacking for stories that the Dar- danelles forts were at the point of surrender and that as a result the world would be flooded with Russian wheat. The fact remained that bear ish sentiment had acquired immense impetus owing to recent threats of call for government interference because Of threats of six cent bread and in con- sequence of the possibility that hostili- ties by Italy Roumania and Greece would mean a stop to the war sooner than had been generally expected.
