GOVERNMENT VICTORIOUS
 IN OLEOMARGARINE CASE.
Forty of the Defendants Changed Pleas
 to Guilty.

St. Louis. Jan. f9.-The federal gov ernnnent gained an important victory in the oleomargarine prosecution here today when the first four of forty de- fendants to be tried changed their pleas of rot guilty to guilty shortly af- ter the first witness for the defense had testified.
 The charge in pleas resulted from an address to the attorneys by Judge Pol lock of the United States district court. He pointed out the futility of continuing trial where such a great preponderance in quality and quantity of evidence was presented by the gov ernment.
 The men who pleaded guilty to col oring oIeonargarine without paying the required federal tax were Ray mond A. Martens, George H. Martens George w Gilmore and Richard Volt man.

 What he called the faIlacy of at- tempting to develop an impressive trade with South America was the text of the senator's remarks. He talked about necessity for long docks for big ships and the absence of these docks in South America T1diculed the idea of placing a boat like the intern cd Rotterdam. which carries 5000 aboard, on such a route, when the lasi ship which sailed from Rio Janeiro tc New York carried 26 passengers and South America.

Tc each of these Senator Burton would assure the Utah senator that his statements were facts.

SNOW FINDERS FIGHTING
 IN FLANDERS AND FRANCE In Russian Poland the Russians Are Making Sweep to West and North.

London, Jan. 19, il p. n1.-The weather conditions have become so severe in France and in Flanders where there have been heavy falls of snow. that the fighting has been confined almost entirely to artillery engagements. There has been an ex- ception, however, to the southwest of Ferdun snear Pont A Mousson, where the French are reported to have ap- preached a few hundred yards near the German frontier
 Military men place cons iderable on the operations in this region, for. they say, in conjunction with the continued French pressure on the German lines to the west of the fortress of Perthes, they will, if successful, relieve the German operations against Nerdun, around which they have had a half circle drawn since they invaded France.
 Of the progress of the battles in East Prussia and Poland, the official reports are more scaDt in inforna- ton than ever. Loquacity seems to be avoided when 9 big movement is commencing, such as that which the Russians are carrying out between the East Pruss!an border and the lower Flstula. In this operation. as far as can be judged by the meagre details furnished. the Russians are making a bier sweep to the west and north evidently in an endeayor to prevent Field Marshal Won Hindenburg' $ forces from forming 9. Junction with the German troops in East Prussia.
 Some Petrograd newspaper core spondents credit the Russians with crossing the Vistula river to the south and east of Plok. If this is true, mil Itaiy men say. they must have a very large force and probably are in a position to threaten the left flank of the German army which has been try ing for weeks to force it's way through to WaPsa w
