Demand for beef steers did not seem

were pretty well satisfied when they

outstanding feature of the trade In

secure steady prices for anything that
was not attractive.

MARSH SUCCEEDS v ADE
Waterloo Man Made Democratic Ma.
tionaI comitteeman by State
Central Body.

Des Moines, April Civ. w. Marsh
Of Waterloo, was today elected nation
al democratic committeeman to sue
ceed Martin ]. Wade, recently ap
pointed district judge of the United
States court of the southern district OF
Iowa. The election was made by the
state democratic central committee in
session here.
Marsh was elected on the tenth bal.
lot when August E. Johns of Fort
Madison, first district committeeman,
broke from the ranks Of the five mem
bers VINO had been supporting 8. c.
Huber of Tama.
The committee remained in dead
lock over selection of committeeman
to succeed Charles Rodgers of Eldora,
the deceased third district member.
After ten ballots had been taken in
an effort to fill this place, adjourn
ment was taken with the understand
ing that future meetings would be
held on call of the chairman, ten days
notice to be required.
The selection ends the deadlock
that has existed for more than month
over national committeeman. After
Judge Wade's resignation from the
place, the committee tried on March
20 to I'LL It. Fifty-two ballots resulted
the same way.

REPLY

TEXT OF ANSWER TO CRITICISM
Of u. 8. NOTE TO ALLIES NOT
MADE KNOWN.

| Washington. D. c., April The
reply of the United States to the re.
cent memorandum from Count Bern.
storff, the German ambassador, dealing
with expectation of arms to the allies,
will be delivered today to the German
embassy, Secretary Bryan announced.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say whether
the reply accepted the ambassadors
memorandum as from the German gov
ernment, or treated it as an expression
of the counts personal views. The
reply, however, gives it official recog-
milton, leaving the question of it's auth
ority between the ambassador and his
government.
The reply is understood to be a
friendly discussion of the points raised
by the ambassador, taking issue with
the statement that the United States
has accepted England's alleged viola
tions of International law and calling
attention to the various notes present
ed by the state department to London
asserting and defending the rights Of
neutral governments to trade in every
thing short of contraband and even
ship food supplies to the civil popula-
tion of fighting nations.

PLENTY OF SPUDS
HELD in GERMANY

Berlin, April 21.-The Tages Zeitung
says 1t learns from an authoritative
source that the investigations made by
the federal council into the recent po-
tato ordinance disclosed the fact that
there are sufficient potatoes in this
country to insure the supply with alb
solute certainty until the next harvest.
A majority Of the larger municipalities
the newspaper says, already have
bought sufficient potatoes to cover the
needs of their citizens and that in GER
tain provinces, especially Posen, there
is considerable surplus.
The Tages Zeitung does not say
whether the supply of fodder potatoes
is sufficient for all needs.

AUTHENTICITY OF
Notes VERIFIED
IcHiNEsE GOVERNMENT PUBLISH
Est DEMANDS MADE UPON IT
~ JAP GOVERNMENT.

] Peking, April 21.-Omcial announce
ment was made today by the Chinese
government that the translation of the
full text Of the demands made by Jap
an upon China, as already published in
the United States, was the Official
translation Of the Chinese text as the
Japanese themselves presented 1t to
the foreign Office here on January 49,,
in both the Japanese and Chinese Ian,
guages.
This announcement was made by
reason of the fact that the Japanese
government has repeatedly protested
because the Chinese government was
informing certain foreign legations as
to the progress of the negotiations.
The Chinese governments transla-
tion has been carefully checked by
legation which possesses copy of
Japan's Chinese text, and it is stated
at the legation that only the verbiology
differs. The legations version is in
somewhat harsher language than that
of tine Chinese government translation.
For example the article which in the
government text is translated to pro-
VAuN SAoL SI1AAh 0AOAA o81OS " Iuc QIO-
pagation Of buddhism" by Japanese
subjects in China, is translated by the
legation to read shall have the right
to propagate religious doctrines"
Toxic, April 21.-The crisis which
has come in the negotiations with
China as to the acceptance of the de-
mands of the Toxic government has
been followed by protracted confer
ence of the cabinet. The members of
the ''genero' or the elder statesmen
of Japan, have been communicated
with on the subject.
The semi-oficial press expresses the
belief that japan has brought the un-
settled clauses of her demands down
to the irreducible minimum, and that
in the event of further procrastination
on the part of China, she probably
will press for reply within given
period of time.

the entrance to the Dardane1les.
No heavy fighting has taken place
since the attempts to force the straits
q month ago, in which two British and
two French battleships were lost. An
of1cial statement from Constantinople
says that six torpedo boats attempted
to penetrate the straits on Monday
night, and yesterday there was an en-
