GERMAN SOCIALISTS
IN RE|CHSTAG ARE
DIVIDED ON PEACE
tBy United Press Leased wire.)


Berlin, Dec. Socialists In the
reichstag are threatened today with
split. But, with exciting caucuses
on, and with a weeks recess OF the
reichstag likely. party leaders hope
to effect fusion and present solid
front when sessions are resumed.
One group in the party is insis-
tent that the government shall state
acceptable terms of peace. The op-
posing group believes such an an
nouncement would be confession OF
weakness. Moreover. there is split
over the subject Of the government
regulation OF food supply and prices.
A recess OF the reichstag will allow
time for the Greek diplomatic situa-
tion to develop, and while authori-
ties are confident that Greece will
remain neutral, they are uncertain
as to how benevolent" she will be
toward the allies.
AS for Roumania, officials are even
less worried than over the Greek
problem. It is pointed out that Rou'
mania Is not likely to antagonize the
central powers In view OF the fac,
that forces of the latter surround
Roumania on three sides. It was de.
clared further that the Berlin
Constantinople line can not be
broken.
In the reichstag's opening session
a bill was introduced providing that
corporations shall set aside so pei
cent Of their profits of the war years
to meet final taxation.
DR.. Kaempfe, president, referring
to Germany's victories, expressed
himself as confident as to the finale,
and declared England has under
estimated Germany's strength In
seeking to starve her out or In ex-
pecting financial exhaustion to halt
the struggle.

known at present as the Northwest
ern Pacific. A glance at the map
printed herewith shows how direct a
route can be obtained by completion
OF the gap that will tie the two roads
together. Nearly year ago, when
the suit was first filed, Portland
paper printed the following bearing
upon this question:
From Trinidad. the northern ter
minus OF the Northwestern Pacific.
to Crescent City, the southern ter
minus of the road that Twohy
Brothers propose to build. Is only 7S
miles. The physical conditions viii
permit construction at a minimum
cost. 1t is reported.
"By building this short link, the
Southern Pacific would have a new
route over Its own rails from Port
land to Grants Pass. thence through
Crescent City. Trinidad and Eureka
TO San Francisco.
Theoretically, the intention Of the
government in prosecuting the suit
| for the Southern-Central Pacific di-
vorce is to create competition be-
tween those two units OF the presen,
Southern Pacific system.
"It is contended that the Central
Pacific between ogden and San Fran,
cisco In natural competitor Of the
Southern Pacific between El Paso and
San Francisco; that the present union
Of the two roads constitutes com.
bination In restraint Of trade, and
that they should be dissolved.
"If the dissolution should be or
dered and carried into effect. II might
create competition between the two
roads not only between San Francisco
and the east, but between San Fran
cisco and Portland"

THE uNMERGING SUIT.

The action now bsing heard before
the federal court in St. Louis.
through which the United States gov

ing Of the Southern and the Central
Pacific railroads. is fraught with
much Of interest to Grants Pass and
southern Oregon. The federal autho-
rifles have brought suit against
many such combinations Of railroad
lines, and have been successful in
forcing their dissolution because it
was proven that such mergers were
In violation Of the Sherman anti
trust act. Those in touch with the
situation believe that the outcome Of
the present suit will be in line with
former decisions. and that the South

Believing a world situation In

full war In history. For fifteen
months the people Of the world have
awaited for their governments to act.
and have waited for them to bring
Europe out OF unspeakable agony and
suffering and to prevent the destruc-
tion OF Europe"
The message explained that from
the delegates aboard the peace ship,
destined to Thu Hague, Ford hopes to
form an international peace congress
in some neutral capital. This con-
gress would then formulate definite
proposals and present them to the
belligerents.
Meanwhile millions are dead on
the battlefield. Humanity owes II to
millions more. who are led like cattle
to the shambles, to prevent their
slaughter.

For this undertaking, most hol,

cooperation" "

bassy.
In this protest the consul inferen.
TALLY charged Preston with beins
pro-British. The note charged that
Preston offered to give immunity to
Crowley II he would so involve the
consul and vice-consul as to make Il
possible for Preston to connect up
the case before the grand Jury.
Bopp objected TO the refusal OF the
authorities TO take bail for Crowley
Moreover. he suggested that Pres
tons treatment OF the defendant In.
creased In harshness, and quite un-
reasonably so. as he reflected upon
the connection OF the defendant with
the German consulate by way OF EN-
ployment."
Further. Bopp claimed that Pres.
ton objected because the German con-
sulate sought to present bail for
Crowley.
1t is believed that the protest will
be called to the attention OF the state
department at Washington. with an
objection that Preston's activities
have overstepped the courtesies and
exemptions granted by law to the rep
resentatives OF foreign government.

TEN under lease from the Central

The Southern Pacific company
owns the line from Portland south
to the California boundary. but from
there, through the Siskiyous, and
south to Tehama, California, the line
is part Of the Central Pacific system.
II the government wins It's suit, the
Southern Pacific will be obliged to
seek other route for its traffic over
the territory in question. 1t would
have gap OF 200 miles in its line
between Portland and San Francisco.
To close this gap the most avail
able route is through Grants Pass,
to Crescent City, and south to con-
meet with the Southern Pacific coast
line at Trinidad, California. The
completion Of the Coast line now
building from Grants Pass will leave
a gap Of only 75 miles to connect up
the entire line between Portland and
San Francisco, eliminating the grades
over the Siskiyou mountains, and
giving a more direct route between
the two coast cities. At the time Of
the acquisition OF the Grants Pass

company It was pointed out that Il
would be, the logical connecting link

Spinach is one OF the most season
able greens i'm our city markets and
obtainabIc about nine months in the
year. Just at present 1t is quite rea-
sonablc and will be cheaper later on.
II Is one of the most wholesome
greens there is; by some 1t Is called
the "broom Of the stomach Yet
housekeepeTs say, I'VE Ike spinach,
but it is so hard to clean, so there
will be no sand in it, that Is why
we do not have 1t oftener"
There is right and a wrong way
to clean spinach. First 1t should be
put in a large pan of cold water,
washed thoroughly, placed I'm cOlan-
der or on the drain board; then
clean 1t by picking off the leaves or
cutting off ends then put 1t in a pan
Of cold water, wash thoroughly by
plunging II up and down. do not
drain off the water, but lift out the
spinach into a colander; In that way
all sand is left In the bottom Of the
pan, whereas, If you drain off the
water the sand will get into the spin
aCh leaves again.
Try steaming the spinach instead
of boiling It for change and flavor
ing 1t with a little bacon drippings,
using it cold served on a bed Of let
tuce leaves, with hard boiled eggs. as
a garnish, and French dressing. The
stock, or water, in which 1t was
steamed, or boiled, Is the foundation
for cream soups. Creamed on toast
or on bed Of rice there are many
tasty ways in which one can prepare
spinach.
Have it often while it Is young and
plentiful. But like everything else,
some persons may not eat spinach,
no matter how much they like II, but
well.
