DEMANDS PREPARATION
Christians Paper Suggests German
Ships In HarbOrs Be Held

Christiania, via London, Feb. %.
Indignation at the sinking of the
Norwegian tank steamship Belridge
by a German submarine near Folke-
stone is expressed by today's papers,
which discuss possible means of de-
manding satisfaction.
1--WE presume the Norwegian gov
eminent will ask Germany to make
a declaration whether the sinking Of
the Belridge was mistake or de-
liberate action" the Morgenbladet
says. Presumably neutral powers in
their notes to Germany made all
reservations regarding compensation
for life and property, which may be
lost by the carrying out Of the Ger
man threat to torpedo ships without
previous examination.
IF legitimate claims of neutrals
to indemnity are refused the respec-
tive countries naturally will consider
the question of placing an embargo
on German ships lying in their var
ious ports until a satisfactory ar
is made Of this economic
question"

FAVOR BILL DISCOURAGING
TAX TITLE SPECULATION

Topeka, Feb. 22.-The senate,
without a dissenting vote, has passed
Senator Arthur Kinkel's bill to dis
courage spectators bidding in tax
titles and unduly embarrassing the
owners of the property. At present
the county treasurer is required to
issue tax titles to persons rendering
the money for back taxes on proper
ty after the taxes have been delin-
quent for a certain time. The legi-
innate owner comes along later and
finds some one else holding his tax
title, and the owner usually is forced
to pay a big premium to get tho tax
title from the Spectator.
The Kinkel bill provides that the
county can not give tax title to
land bid in for taxes to any one ex-
cept the owner, his heirs, assigns or
mortgage. until three years after
the property was bid in by the coun-
ty. Thirty days before the expiration
of the three-year period the treasur-
er shall notify the owner. In case
the owner still fails to redeem it
and q tax title is issued to another,
six months is granted the owner IN
which to redeem his land from the
purchaser by paying the amount the
latter paid, plus interest at the rate
of Is per cent.

GEAR LACKED THE RAILWAYS
Withdrawal of Army from East Prus-
STA Decided Upon When the
Kaiser's Forces Massed
February A

Petrograd, Feb. 23.-Explanatior
of the Russian retirement from East
Prussia is contained in a communi'
cation given out last night by the
general staff. Success of the Ger.
man coup is attributed largely to
the lack of strategic railways which
prevented the Russians from con-
centrating with necessary rapidly
on our east Prussian front forces in
Indispensable to ward off this drive OF
the enemy"
The general staff asserts that the
massing of German troops in East
Prussia was revealed to the Rus
SLAMS on February 4, but that the
magnitude of the concentration did
not become known until several days
later. Because of these conditions,
it is stated, withdrawal of the Tenth
Russian army from East Prussia to-
wards the frontier was decidsd up
on. This was followed later by a
further retirement towards the Me
man and the Bohr rivers.

Sees High Priced Early Corn

Manhattan, Feb. 22.-The chances
are that corn will be high priced
next July and August, believes c. c.
Cunningham, assistant in co-oDera-
tive experiments in the Kansas ag-
ricultural college. He believes that
many farmers in eastern Kansas
where the corn crop was shorn In
1914 will find the planting Of a few
acres Of early corn profitable this
season.
