the fact that it is conducted by the govern
ment, it should result in something tangible.
Apparently nettled by reason OF contlden-
tial information sustaining the shippers COM
plants, and by the delays of the railroads
representatives in presenting scheme of car
distribution, Commissioner McChord an
nounced, on November II, that some drastic
action would be likely, even before the com
pletion of the investigation. While he did
not indicate what action the government had
in mind, the line of questioning indicated that
there might be higher demurrage charges
imposed, and general system of embargoes
on export shipments in favor of domestic
business.
On November 13 it was announced from
Louisville that the railroads would observe
the proclamation to hurry all foreign coal
cars to their home lines regardless OF the
technical power of the commission to in
force it.
The petition of twenty-six coal mining COM
panes of Southern Illinois and Indiana for
writs to compel one hundred and forty-six
railroads to return coal cars to lines enter
ing the coal fields, was denied on November
II by Federal Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, who
asserted that the court was poWerless to grant
relief, because the Interstate Commerce law
has placed the necessary authority upon the
commission itself.
The coal mining companies, therefore,
were referred to the commission now in ses-
sion at Louisville.

CROP SHORTAGE CAUSE OF HIGH
PRICE OF WHEAT

The United States is trying to feed half
the world, and that is the biggest reason for
the increased cost of living today, says Henry
M. Hyde in the Chicago Tribune.
Last year the United States raised an en-
ormous wheat crop more than billion
bushels. A quarter of it was bought and
shipped abroad to feed the people and the
armies of England, Italy, and the other war
ring nations.
This year the wheat crop of the United
States was very much less = about 6O7 ,OOO,-
900 bushels. However, more than quarter
of it was bought by foreign countries. With
greatly decreased crop, the United States
has sent larger percentage abroad than last
year.
Meanwhile, the price of wheat on the Chi
cago Board of Trade and other grain ex-
changes has been creeping steadily towards
two dollars bushel; in fact two-dollar-wheat
was an accomplished fact, according to re-
ports, in some Northwestern and Canadian
markets this past week.
Conditions in Argentina grow worse,
weather conditions being unfavorable. Re-
presentatives of foreign governments, evi-
IDENTIFY either fearing an embargo on wheat
shipments from this country, or that their
own supplies will prove inadequate, have
been persistently buying both cash wheat
and futures.

BRITISH REPLY DENIES THAT RIGHTS
OF NEUTRAL TRADERS HAVE BEEN
VIOLATED

The British reply to the latest American
note protesting against the trade blacklist,
was made public by the State Department at
Washington on November IA, although it is
claimed that the note was received con-
siderable while previous.
= 1t denies that rights of neutral traders un-
der international law have been ruthlessly
cancelled; defines the blacklist measure as a
municipal regulation plainly concerning only
the British government and British citizens !;
and contends that it is designed to shorten
the war.
The note fails to meet the American de-
mand that the names of American firms be
stricken from the blacklist, but attempts to
convince the State Department that the
British position is just and founded on law.
The issue is left open for further negotiation.

GENERAL PERSHING'S COLUMN MAY
SOON BE WITHDRAWN FROM
MEXICO

If present plans Of the American-Mexican
Peace Commission, in session at Atlantic City,
materialize, General Pershings column will
soon be withdrawn from Mexico.
AS tentatively framed, the border agree
ment will call for immediate or gradual re-
tirement of the American troops from their
posts below the boundary.
While it has been difficult, during the past
month, to procure definite information re-
garding conditions in Mexico, reports indi-
cate that state Of lawlessness and banditry
prevails over considerable part of that
country.
According to dispatches, the British and
German consuls left Chihuahua City on
November 10. At the same time, there was
a general exodus Of foreign residents, as a
massacre and an attack on the Chihuahua
state capital by Villa bandits were feared.
The state department is informed, however,
that the Villista forces are retiring in the
face of Carranza reenforcements.
A dispatch of November II stated that the
forces of General Felix Diez,' nephew Of
former President Porfirio Dez, had captured
Tehauntepec City, and had invested Salina
Cruz.

"MY PRECIOUS BIBLE"

Zion Junior Choir, in the absence of Zion
Senior Choir, rendered two selections in
Shiloh Tabernacle last Lords Day, with
freedom and enthusiasm which was uplifting
and inspiring. How we would have enjoyed
singing in Zion Junior Choir when we were
children!
We wonder if these little folks in Zion ap-
preciate their privileges.
One of the selections, "My Precious
Bible," was so good that we quote the words
in full:
II love my beautiful Bible,
It's worth can never be told
It is treasure beyond compare,
And far more precious than gold.
CHORUS
''I'll never give up my Bible,
My beautiful beautiful Bible;
I'll never give up my Bible,
It is so precious to me.
'I love my beautiful Bible,
Because know it is true;
For Jesus speaks to me from it's page,
And tells me just what to do.
II love my beautiful Bible
It guides my wandering feet;
1t speaks to me of a better life =
'Tis full of promises sweet"

POLITICAL ASPECT, AS RESULT OF
ELECTION

There is, perhaps, not paper IN the United
States but comedies the reelection OF Presl-
dent Wilson, although this fact has not been
confirmed by the official count. However, it
is hardly regarded as even a remote posi-
bility that the majority shown by unofficial
returns will be upset.
These returns, while not entirely complete,
even at present writing show that President
Wilson not only won majority of votes in
the electoral college, but that he received a
substantial majority by popular vote.
For several days following the election, it
was regarded practically as certainty that
the Republicans would control the house by
a very small margin. It is now claimed by
the Democrats, however, that the latest Off
cial returns leave this in doubt.
Some writer's have expressed the opinion
that even should the next house of represen-
tatives be Republican by a few votes, this
would not seriously handicap the administra-
tion, judging from the records of the past
four years, which show that the vote in con-
gress on all leading measures has not been
strictly according to party lines, and that a
number of Republicans have frequently voted
with the Democrats.
What is, perhaps, the greatest revelation of
the presidential election just passed, is the
fact that the "Old Guard" is, apparently, los
ing it's hold on the Republican party.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, who was one of
the dominant figures in the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Chicago last June, was
unable even to control his own state for the
Republican party.
Massachusetts,, the home Of Senator Muir
ray Crane, was carried for Hughes by small
majority, while the Republican candidate for
governor was elected by heavy VOTE In
other states, the "stand-pat' Republican
chairmen, who ignored the idea Of Progress
Sive reunion, were Spurned.
Hughes is accused, by some papers, of hav-
ing made the mistake, on his first tour
through California, of comforting with the
"stand-pat" element and largely ignoring the
Progressives. Be this as it may, the state
went for Wilson, while Governor Hiram
Johnson, ROOsevelt's running mate in 1912
in his candidacy for the United States SEN
atorship, ran nearly 100000 ahead of Hughes
for president.
It usually has been the Republican formula
to nominate a man from the East = prefer
ably from New York = for president, and a
man from the middle states for vice-presi-
dent; and it is charged that this policy was
adhered to, in 1916, with fatal effect.
Some writers are now demanding that the
national headquarters of the Republican party
be moved from New York to Chicago. II
is said that Westerners look on Chicago more
pleasantly than on New York, for the reason
that they regard the metropolis as having
just one street. One editorial writer says
that ''New York's nobility, in their blindness
have fancied that as Wall street willed, sc
went the nation"
It is claimed that if there be victory for the
party in future, it must be reorganized under
Progressive-Republican leadership.

RUDJA-FALLs BACK TO LINE OF STRONGER
DEFENSE Won HINDENBERG ATTEMPTS
TO CHECK RUSSIAN ADVANCE
General Brussiloff's promise that the Rus
slams would come to the aid of Roumania has
been fulfilled. Driving simultaneously into
the Teutonic advance in Dobrudja and against
the Transylvanian 'front.' the advances of both
Mackensen and Falkenhayn were checked,
about ten days ago.
Later reports from London declared that
the Austro- German Turkish armies, under
the command of General Won Mackensen, had
been driven back about forty-two miles to-
ward the Cernavoda- -Constanza line; more
over, that Russian warships were shelling
Constanza, recently captured from the
Roumanians by the Teutons.
However much the character of.the retreat
may have been exaggerated by London re-
ports, the fact of Won Mackensen's repulse
was admitted by Berlin. 1t was later claimed,
however, that General Won Hindenberg had
made some headway in his effort to shake
the security of the Russian lines.
It seems that General Mackensen has fall
len back to a stronger line of defense; 1T is
also admitted from London that the Russian
forces have retired from the Gyergyo noun
tains in Northern Pennsylvania to the Rou-
manian frontier, this being the result of Aus
trO-Hungarlan attacks.
BEAUCOURT CAPTURED ON WESTERN FRONT
Beaucourt, one of the keys to Bapaume,
and only about seven miles, in a direct line,
from the German stronghold, was stormed
and captured by the British on November 13,
according to London reports. This line had
been held by the Kaiser's forces for two
years, and converted into series of strong
fortresses.
There had been little or no advance by
General Haig's troops along the western
front during the past few weeks, but it is
now claimed that the wise which took Combles
and Thiepval has now begun in the direction
of Bapaume.
GERMANS DELIVER POWERFUL COUNTER
OFFENSIVE
On November 14th furious lombard
ment by the Germans of the French works,
south of the Somme, was followed by power
| full German counter offensive, in which large
forces took part, directed upon the positions
! taken by the French on November 9TH. From
the Ablaincourt sugarworks, as far as the
wood of Chaulnes, the attacks were delivered
with ferocity, beginning at o'clock in the
morning
The French claim that in spite of the ex-
tent of the attack, and the use Of large guam
titles of flaming liquids, together with tear
producing shells, the enemy was checked, ex-
cept in the eastern part of the village of Pres
soire, where the Germans were able to make
progress.

con Schmalfuss' mother, in writing of the
matter, did not dare to mention where, be-
cause of the strict censorship.
In reply, Captain Koenig said: "Your
brother is somewhere on the China coast"
Previous to the outbreak of the European
war, Captain A. c. Schmalfuss had, for about
ten years, been commander of vessel in the
North German Lloyd, East India service.
With the beginning of hostilities he lost his
ship to the English. He himself, however,
escaped by way of Egypt, Greece, Italy, and
Switzerland, and succeeded in reaching the
"Fatherland"

BERLIN. July 2S.-At a mass
meeting held at Waldenburg in
Silesia, Phillip Scheidemann. the
leader of the socialists and former
vice president of the Reischstag
said:
The destruction OF Germany
would mean a terrible fate for the
millions of our workingmen. We
would be at the mercy of the merci-
less victors and Germany would
gain become an agricultural state
without commerce and industry. The
whole German nation would be con-
demned TO a state Of utter misery.
from which il could never rise
again.
These facts we understood when
the war broke out and we shaped
our policy accordingly. In August,
1914, we declared that we would
fight for the empire TO the last drop
OF blood and we are as firmly de-
termined as ever TO defend the
Fatherland against it's host of en-
emies. What a victory of our en-
emies would mean we have seen in
eastern Prussia. 1t is true that in
Belgium conditions also are not as
pleasant as in peaceful Waldenburg,
but our soldiers in the enemies
country have not acted like the Rus
slams, and we are proud of that.
Conquest Was Protested.
When we voted for the war
credits we energetically protested
against a policy Of conquest and we
have stated time and again that
peace should be brought about as
quickly as possible, but our efforts
we're misrepresented by our en-
emies. Last spring, when / said in
the Reichstag that Germany was
strong enough TO talk of peace and
TO take the first step in this direc-
ton the French and British press
sreeringly shouted: Germany is
down and OUT Let us finish her
foreverr
Under these conditions it is our
solemn duty TO fight. until the vic
tory is won, no matter how enor-
nous the sacrifices may be. We will
stick 10 the empire to the end, come
what may. but we have never ceased
telling the chancellor that We will
not permit him 10 support the policy
Of Count Western and the Pan Ger
mans who want 10 annex Belgium
and northern France. We are
lighting for the existence of our ma
ton and for nothing else.
The socialists Of the allied coun-
tries support their governments and
OF US they expect that we should
turn traitors. Only recently the
French socialists appealed 10 US 10
start a revolution and on the fol-
lowing day in parliament they voted
for new credits TO hasten the de-
struction of Germany"
