LIST OF WINNERS

Last Saturday, the Field Day an
nounced to be held in conjunction with

perched high on one of the ladders
of the apparatus, scattered the peanuts
in every direction over the sawdust

GERMANY PLEASED BY

Amsterdam, Dec. S.-The resigna.
tion of Premier Asquith clears the
situation, according to the Koelnische
Zeitung Commenting on the English
political crisis the paper says;
THE enemy's last forces will now
be brought into the field and when
they, like the others, have hurled
themselves vainly against the strength
OF Germany, we shall find England
ready for an honest peace"
The Cologne Volkszeitung says that
the Germans can view political events
in England with complete composure.
"The leading man" it says, lin the
most powerful of the enemy countries
confirms by his resignation the failure
of the war policy hitherto followed by
the entente. If the strong men in Eng
land now come into power this can
only please us, for it gives the hope
that decision will come all the
earlier"

mortgage loans aggregating approx
mately $3.50 900, 900, or more than sew
enteen times the amount of money
which will be Immediately available

every day. Requests for 200 applica-
tion blanks, contemplating requests
for loans to 1000 farmers, have come
from Iowa alone.

FALL OF BUCHAREST
"MORT|FIES" PARIS

Paris, Dec. S.-The news of the fall
of Bucharest was received here with
sorrow and modification, although il
had been regarded as inevitable since
the battle of the Argechu was lost
"We understand perfectly" says the
Petit Journal, what the Roumanians
are suffering, for we, too. have suf-
fered the sorrows of invasion
"We associate ourselves all the
more with their grief, since we real.
ize with bitterness of spirit that we
are partly responsible for the catas-
trophe, which was not due entirely to
the military abilities OF the enemy's
leaders,"
All of the newspapers say that the
event must be a lesson to the allies
which ought to spur them on to more
rapid and energetic action. and above
all to the organized and effective use
of their common resources.
The commentators, while generally
gloomy, make the point that the Rou-
manians. having abandoned Bucha-
rest, have now much shorter line,
which their armies, having emerged
intact from the claws OF the German
enveloping movement, have a good
chance of holding until the allies
came to their relief

London, Dec. Sit having been de-

undertake the formation of a minis
try, political circles are interested
chiefly in the PERSONAL of the new
cabinet and the prospects of the new
premier for getting together a combi-
nation that will have the support of
a majority in the house of commons.
Few, if any, of the Liberal mem
bers of Mr.. Asquth's cabinet are
likely to accept Office under Mr.. Lloyd
George, and some of the Unionist
members. like j. Austin Chamberlain
and Lord Robert Cecil. are likely to
stand aside. However, it is assumed
that at the conference at buckingham
palace they assured the new premier
of their benevolent neutrality.
According to the Central News the
Labor party has decided to accept the
invitation to be- represented in the
new government
According to one estimate Mr. Lloyd

virtually all the Unionist members
and of seventy Liberals 1t is also

AS far as the cabinet is concerned
the new premier has nucleus in A.

the lord chief Justice, is likely to join
the ministry.
Winston Spencer Churchill, former
first lord OF the admiralty, is slated
for a high office.
1t is believed the construction OF
the cabinet will be a matter of only
a day or SO and that by Monday the
new government will meet in the

Commerce Commission Rec
ommends Changes.
CONGRESS URGED TO ACT
Asked TO LegaIze Present Tariffs and
to Compel Carriers to Show That an
Increase Is Reasonable in Seeking
to Alter the Rates.

Washington, Dec S.-The interstate
commerce commission, in its annual
report to congress, recommended a
sweeping change in methods of es-
tablishing freight and passenger
rates so that shippers would no
longer be compelled to show a pro-
posed rate unreasonable to see it be-
come effective; carriers seeking to
alter a rate would be compelled to
show the change was reasonable
The recommendation is that by
statute congress fix the interstate
rates, charges, classifications, rules
and regulations existing at a specific
date, prior to that of enactment, as
just and reasonable for the past, and
provide that no change therein after
that specified date may be made ex.
cept upon order OF the commission
with provision that such statute shall
not affect the proceedings pending al
the time of enactment"
The purpose of the suggestion is
said to be mainly to correct flaws In
the present method by which an in
jured shipper seeks reparation foI
payment Of higher rate than sub
seQuently is approved by the commits
sion.
Ii was said however, that the eff
feet of such legislation would be
radical on methods of rate establish
ment At present tariffs proposing
rate changes filed by the railroads be
come operative on a fixed date unless
suspended by the commission ant
shown on hearing to be unreasonable
unjust or discriminatory. If existing
rates are declared by statute to be
just and reasonable, it was pointed
out, the burden will be on those who
wish to change them.
