MUCH WHEAT
 UNMARKETED
GRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 20-Figures compiled by grain exporters show that approximately twelve million bushels of 1915 wheat still remains in the Pa cific northwest unmarketed, due to the practical impossibility of getting steam CTS or sailing vessels to carry it to for eign markets. About 40 vessels would be required to move the wheat still on hand Only sufficient tonnage is un- der charter to move two million bush els.
 As measure of partial relief large amounts of wheat are being sent by rail to New York for export, but this process is expensive and vessels have not always been found obtainable on the Atlantic side to transport the what to Europe. It was declared to- day to be apparent that considerable amount of wheat would be carried over into next season unmarketed

LONDON, Jan. 20.-There will be no inquiry at present into the i'm putations upon British commanders at Gallipoli contained in General Hamil- tons dispatch on the landing at Suvla- Bay.
 Replying in the house of commons to John Redmond, who urged an in vestigation, Premier Asquith said that the government had declared it to be impracticable under the present cir cumstances as the constitution of tri- bunal and the assembling of witnesses would necessjtate the withdrawal of too many officers required on the field. but that everything was being done to assure an adequate inquiry in due course.

OVERFLOW AT DAM DECREASES;
 ALL'S WELL FUR TIME BEING

At late hour this morning, it was reported from the dam that the water was still going down. At that time there was about nine feet of water coming over the spiIway. Conditions all over the project were very easy, and things were very encouraging.
 In the opinion of reclamation off cials, the high water crest passed Phoenix yesterday morning. Unless another rain comes up, and crowds a mass of water on top of that already in the reservoirs and rivers, there is little to be feared.
 It rained all day yesterday at the dam. In spite of this, the flow over the spillway decreased steadily. What amount of water was coming at the intake was not known, the telephone communication with that point being interrupted. From 1 o'clock in the af- ternoon until the overflow showed the following decrease

Violent attacks by the Russians, with strongly reinforced armies, are being launched against the Austro- Hungarisns along the Bes- sarabian frontier. That the re- newaI of the offensive here is of a sanqulnary character is indicated by the Austrian official reports. which says that between Toporoptz and Soyan the Russians at sever al places succeeded in entering the trenches of the Teutons and en- gagged the defenders in hand to hand encounters.
 To the northeast of Czernowitz the Russians claimed to have cap tured an Austrian sector and to have repulsed five desperate coun- ter attacks.

 Whatever change is made in the British order in council it is absolutely certain that the grip of British sea power on Germany will be frightened rather than -1oosened. This is the opinion expressed in q high quarter of the British government which is not yet convinced that the orders in coun- cil are not the best methods for bring ing economic pressure to bear on the central powers. It is clear now that the foreign office will not come to any decision until it lays a complete de- tense of the present operations of the orders in council before the house Of commons and this will not be until the compulsion delate is ended.
