SUPPORTS SHIP

Speak in Favor Of Measure-Pledsss
His Vote If Amendments Are Ac-

His Vote If Amendments Are Ac-
cepted.
Washington, Jan. 2s.-The govern
ment ship purchase bill received its
first support from the republican side
today Senator Norris. OF Nebraska,
declared the plan appealed strongly to
him and if the two amendments he
had offered were adopted. he would
vote for it. One of his amendments
would continue the government In the
shipping business even after the lines
it established become profitable.
I'VE should let the taxpayer share
the profits as well as bear the losses
of any of these ventures"
The second amendment would pro-
vide that no vessels belonging to bel
iigerent nations should be purchased
unless diplomatic understanding with
other belligercnts had been established.
Senator Norris, who is regarded as
a progressive republican, said he would
prefer to see the shipping board so
organized as to be taken wholly out
of politics but he would not insist on
any change in the present plan.
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, offered two
amendments, one to eliminate cabinet
members from the shipping board. The
second provided that none of the
ships purchased or chartered should
carry munitions of war from this
country to any belligerent nation or
citizens thereof"
Y Senator Norris urged the bill should
be amended to prohibit the government
leasing it's ships. His statement
brought to the surface differences
among democratic senator's.
Senator Hoke Smith inquired if SEN
ator Norris differed from chose of us
who vastly prefer the government
never to operate the ships at ALL" but
to lease the ships to stimulate compe-
ttion.
The idea of leasing these boats. ="
said Senator Owen. would afford
competition and thus reduce the rates.
1t has been found that the ships of the
United States, Great Britain, Germany,
Holland and Italy. instead of compet-
ing freely, are in a great international
| trust. All we would be 1oing here
would be contributing s4oO0O,000 for
| the perpetutaation of hat system.
These government ships would become
T! instruments of the existing trusts"

70 STOP oars AouLTERATioN.
Shippers and Dealers Warned by Gov
ernment Two Practices Must Cease.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Jan. 30. - Seventy five
carloads of oats intended for export
have recently been seized by the fed
eral authorities because they We're
found to be adulteratcd within the
meaning Of the food and drugs act.
The adulteration charged. IS the addi-
ton of feed barley or water or both.
Under certain circumstances adultera-
ton in these WAYS may be so profitable
that it is believed to he at times a
common practice among grain ship
pers. The government, however, is de-
termined that the practice shall cease
at once, and field representatives or
the department of agriculture have all
been instructed to exercise tie utmost
vigilance in detecting future shipments
adultered in this way.
Low grade barley which is known to
the trade as feed barley is some
times mixed with oats wher' there Is
sufficient difference between the prices
of the two grains to make this profit
able. This feed barley" is the product
which remains after The best grade of
the grain has been separated and re-
moved fog mating purposes. It con-
tains material percentages of weed
seed, foreign grains and dust, and the
addition to oats of such q product is
held to be a violation of the food and
drugs act The addition of water to
oats rises from the fact that the grain
is sold by weight. Investigations of
the Departmental agriculture have re-
vealed the fact that water is some
times added in the amount of from
to 4 per cent.
In the opinion of the government Of
fcials there is no reason why either
of these practices should lie tolerated
Grain shippers and dealers, therefore,
are being warned that the prevalence
of the custom in the past will not af-
feet the legal proceedings against fut-
ure shipments found to be adulterated
In this way.

Losses in Recent Fighting Said to

stand in carpathian Passes.

London, Jan. 29.-The renewal
Of offensive operations on the part OF
the Turks in the Caucasus, apparently
timed to prevent the Russians sending
more troops in this field, and the Aus
trian operations in /the Carpathians,
continue to dominate interest IN the
war.
The recent fghting in the Carpath-
ians has brought no decisive engage
ments, both the Austrians and the
Russians claiming local successes. II
Is believed in London, however, tnat
the struggle may be expected soon to
enter on critical stage both in the
east and west. Military observers
have expressed the opinion that Ger
many still is keeping preponderance
of her forces in the western theater OF
the war where the allies should ex-
pect another great offensive move
ment.
German Losses Heavy.
The German tactics Of the last Few
days at various points on the western
front seem to have cost them heavily
and have brought them little gain. 1t
is thought here that the next develop
ment may be concentrated blow al
some strategic point.
So far as news 10 concerned, the
Turks supposed to be advancing into
Egypt are marooned somewhere on the
sands of the desert. Not one word
has been heard Of them since the an
nouncement three days ago OF their
presence to the eastward OF Ell Kan
tara and no further clashes with Brit
ish oltposts have been reported.
A message from Vienna by way OF
Venice says there is a growing feeline
M Austria that the government should
take over all the grain and flour In the
market.
From Petrograd comes the news that
Emperor Nicholas kzs approved the
appropriation of ss.75o.0Oo,ooo for the
immediate construction OF a govern
ment railroad from Petrozazodst, ls5
miles northeast Of Petrograd, to the
white sea. This would make second

chief Of the constituGonalists, will, ac-
coYding to Vera Cruz advices, return
to the capital Immediately and it
is proboble he will re- establish his gov
ernment there in the near future. He
first entered the capital on Aug 20 last,
following the retirement of Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta, having the entire con-
stitutionalist force as his support.
For time peace reigned and then
an old dispute between Carranza and
General Villa, the chief military leader
Of the consttutionalists, was revived.
Officially it was said that the difficulty
arose from question of policy, but Car
rama followers laid it to the alleged
ambition of Villa for power.
carranza Asked to Resign.
General Villa, as the dispute contin-
ued, finally issued an ultimatum that
General Carranza retire, and a conven-
ton Of all military chiefs was called to
meet at Aguascalientes on Oct. 20, to
decide OH the establishment of new
government. The majority of sentiment
favored Villa and Carranza was asked
to resign, but he refused.
Early in November the convention
proclaimed Gen. Eulialo Gutierrez pro-
visional president of the republic and
Villa took steps to install him in Of

ital but before he reached there Car
rama withdrew his forces toward Vera

Since then General Gutierrez himself

Villa. He was succeeded by Rogue
Gonzales Cara, who left the capital
Jan. 81. on the approach of General
Obregon and the Carranza forces. :
General. Villas reason for abandon
ing the capital is not definitely known.
In some quarters it was said he. was
not desirous of being cooped up in the
capital by Obregon's troops, while other
reports had 1t that Villa was planning
a new republic with it's seat of govern
