BY AID OF U. S.
German Crown Prince Says
Allies PrOIOng War.
He Is Interviewed by COrre-
spOndent Over Telephone.
BY AUGUSTUS F. BEACH.

Berlin, via Sayville, Jan. Ill have
today had a unique interview with the
German crown prince, who is leading
his army in France.
I had telegra phed the crown prince
from Berlin, sending him New Years
greetings and inquiring whether in his
opinion the great war would be
brought to a close in 1916. Answering
my telephone in my room in the Adlon
hotel at 10 o'clock this morning l was
informed that his imperial highness,
the crown prince, was calling from
German general headquarters in
France.
1 had often heard the crown prince
described as royal democrat" Here
was ample proof of the fitness of the
title.
An aide first asked me if preferred
to speak English. Answering in the
affirmative, L was at once connected
with the crown prince. After exchang-
speaking perfect English very dis
tinctiVely:
U. S. Prolongs 1t.
"It is great pity that your country
is sending weapons and ammunition to
the enemies. This IS the factor that
prolongs the war;
I asked the crown prince if Ameri-
can ammunitions were being used
generally along the front.
Yes" he replied, "a very great deal
of it is now being fired along the en-
tire 'front.'
In spite of all this assistance. the
crown prince said. his lines are invul-
nerable. THE allies are making no
progress whatever on any part of our
'front.' he said.
1 quite causually asked his imperial
highness if there was any fighting of
importance in progress this morning.
No" he replied. There is no con-
certed action in progress but there is
spasmOdic fighting at different points
along the line"
This truly is the report of a soldier.
1 thought. Having just returned from
visit to the army of the crown prince
of Bavaria, I know that artillery
crashes and rumbles hours after hour
and day after day, dins the accustomed
ears and nerves of the soldier, who
pays no attention to it and thinks only
of concerted action, when a rafting,
shrieking fire precedes a charge from
too little fighting to be worth talking
about, the crown prince changed the
topic to that of the weather.
His Health Good.
he said. TT rains every day and
everywhere and everything is wet"
Answering my query as to the state
of his own health the crown prince
concluded:
Il am enjoying perfect health. l
have never felt better in my life

We must do justice to our own

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The committee is in session here to-
day to select time and place for hold
ing the national convention. Chicago,
where the birth of the party occurred
in 1912, appeared early today to be
the unanimous choice for place for
holding the convention and the week
of June Z, when the Republican ma
tional convention will be in session
was favored by a majority of the
committeeman as the date for calling
the national gathering.
Progressive party leaders have
made reservations for 500 hotel
rooms and have options on the Audi
torium theater and orchestra hall for
the week of June 7. This was dis
closed in connection with the plan to
hold the party's national convention
simultaneously with the Republican
convention. Forty-six of the forty
eight states are represented and $50
leaders of the party are here to at
tend the committee meeting and con-
ference.
Perkins Keynote Speech.
The speech of George w. Perkins,
father of the Progressive party, last
night at banquet given IN his honor
by the national committee at the
Blackstone did not spring any political
sensations. Mr.. Perkins guarded his
statements with conservation, evident
ly preferring not to make any predic-
ton as to what his party will do at
the coming convention. He lamented
the common rumor that the Progress
sives are no longer a political entity
to be reckoned with and gently lam
basted both the Democrats and Re
publicans for past and present fail
ureS.

II is also planned to use the sanitary
notice to some extent in making in
spections of food supplies and places
from which food supplies come.
One of the first things Dr.. Rowles
plans to do is to build fire under
several of the men who are operating
butchering establishments around To-
peka. Commissioner Porter has in
formation that few of these places
meet sanitary requirements 1nspec-
tions will be made and the propr1etors
will be given plans and specifications
which they must follow in remodellng
or rebuilding their slaughter houses.
Fruit and vegetables, Too.
With one inspector working about
all that has been done locally to-
wards the inspection of food has been
to check over the shipments already
inspected by the government meat in
spectors and see that the city got its
inspection fee. And that duty alone
has taken up most of the time of Mr..
GilfiIIan. A glance at his annual re-
port shows that the one important
thing done by the department was to
get all the inspection fees due the
city.
Under the new arrangement it is
not planned to reinSpect the meat that
has passed through the hands of gov
eminent inspectors but all other meat
will be inspected and tagged Fruit
and vegetables will be inspected. Open
displays of fruits and vegetables which
are not to be pared before eating will
not be permitted. The inspectors will
look into the ice boxes and refrigera-
tors of butchers and grocers and see
that they are clean and sanitary.
1t is not the intention to change the
CITY ordinances at once to meet the
new requirements. Dr. Rowles is of
the opinion that a better ordinance can
be drawn after the department has
been working for a little time. When
the new ordinance is drawn efforts will
be made to keep as nearly to the lines
laid down by the state pure food law
as possible.

EXIT BARGAINS
Official German Edict Prohibits
"White Sales"
Textile Famine Is CauSe-Cut-
ting Prices Illegal.
BY j. W. T. MASON.
written for the State ,JOurualO


New York, Jan. 1.-THE first evil
dence that Germany is beginning to
feel the pinch of a shortage of textile
material is contained in news from
Berlin that military authorities have
prohibited white Sales in the de-
partment stores. Reduced prices in
woven and knit goods and in clothing
made of them are illegal and bargain
hunting must wait until the end of the
war.
1t is apparent that the purpose of
these peculiar regulations is to limit
the consumption of cotton, linen and
wooden manufactures. There must be
no encouragement to the people to
make purchases beyond their full
needs. The supply of raw material,
therefore, cannot have been supple
mented by artificial preparations. Ger
man scientific skill has produced many
laboratory substitutes for the COM
modities that Germany is no longer
able to import, but synthetic clothing
has not yet found a place among them.
British Embargo Responsible.
Economists have been making eau
tious predictions for several months
that Germany must be approaching a
crisis in her textile manufactures. 1t
is not probable that the crisis has yet
actually appeared, but there can no
longer be any doubt that the prelimi-
nary symptoms are on the surface. The
effect of a textile famine not only will
add one more discomfort to the many
domestic irritations now being felt in
Germany, but also it may raise a seri-
Gus problem of unemployment.
The closing down of textile mills
must turn hundreds of thousands of
men and women out of work. If they
are allowed to remain idle, they will
become dangerous centers of discom-
fort. The government must find some
way of supporting them and it is high
ly probable that further tax burdens
will be thrown on the people. The in
cident eliminates the silent but per-
haps decisive work being done by the
British fleet in the narrow area of
the North sea

TOBAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. Jan. 11.-WHEAT-Wheat de-
veloped little strength today after a weak
start. Reports that foreigners were selling
appeared to be responsible for the temper

news from Europe however led to a rally

importers, the European visible supply
showed a decided falling off, and a fresh
advance was announced in freight rates
from Argentina. The market hereafter
opening &c off to sac up at 81 .24A to 1.25
and July at $1-114 to $1.171a underwent
moderate general decline but then rose all
around to above yesterdays finish
Assertions later that Canadian wheat be-
ing brought to Minneapolis was all in bond
for export had a further bullish effect.
So, too, did the fact that shippers were
with drawing wheat from elevators here
despite the embargo against shipment to
seaboard and that liberal export sales were
announced. The close was strong. He to

by the allies agreement not to trade
with Germans while the war is in

favored in Japan, and it has been re-
ported that the Toxic government will

Doesn't Want Jap Troops.
There is growing dissatisfaction in
the British empire over Great Britain's
alliance with Japan. Canada, Aus
tralia and New. Zealand are hostile to
Oriental intimacies. These great self
governing dependencies will have ia
more influence upon international pol
ever had before
They unquestionably will be opposed
to future pledges of British support to
Japan III case of war. Colonial dis
approval probably was the decisive
reason why Great Britain refused to
sanction the present use of japanese
troops in Europe. The British COM
monwealth will doubtless favor an
American understanding conce rning
Japan in the coming days, when inter-
national balances begin to shift. Lord
Northcliffe must see this.
His warning may well be a cryptic
prophecy that Japan and Germany
will be found together in a new alli-
ance sometime in the future, with the
United States as the common enemy
Under this condition America might
be compelled to rely on the support of
the British Empire. Inevitably would
this be necessary if a simultaneous At
