Germany Asserts
Delto Was Chartered
To the Belligerents

Berlin, Dec. 28.-(Via London, Dec.
%. )-The reply Of the German gov
ernment to another of the American
inquiries in regard to steamships sunk
by submarines, in this instance relat-
ing to the destruction OF the Nor
wegian steamship Delto with Amer
leans in the crew, asserts that the
steamship was chartered for trans
port purposes to belligerent gov
crnnrent and hence its destruction
was legitimate.
This reply which has been delivered
to the American embassy says that
so far as was possible the safety OF
the crew was provided for. The men
were given half an hour in which to
enter the boats. The weather was
clear and the distance to the shore
was not excessive.
The settlement of the Marina case,
which hinges on the question
whether the steamship was a govern
ment transport, is being delayed pend
ing receipt of further advices from
Washington. The American govern
ment has transmitted for information
two statements from the British gov
ernment claiming that the vessel was
engaged in carrying horses as part OF
its cargo on east-bound voyages, but
was under no engagement for west
bound trips and therefore could not
be regarded as transport. Germany
is waiting to learn what Interpretation
the American government gives these
statements. There has been no fur

district Of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa

before the federal money is available
for road building in any state, that

of federal money it seeks to use.
Thus il Nebraska hopes to get 81 $780,

eggs in argument before the supreme
court, on application of John J. Dill
Ion, state commissioner of foods and
markets, for an injunction against
selling eggs net SO marked. An
other argument was that the individ-
uality of eggs as to shape made the
labelling of each one impracticable.
The arguments were presented by
grocerymen's counsel. A represen-
tative of the state attorney generals
Office argued in support of the appli-
cation that the failure of some stores
to apprise their customers Of the sort
of eggs they were buying made the
stamp order necessary. The court

officers for the benefit of automobile
tourists, according to a statement

season opens. The data is to be
gathered in such form as to be in
convenient shape for use of travellers
in the Hills region. Particular ef-
fort will be given to roads that will
be of interest TO the tourist who
comes from a distance. Routes of
travel will be laid out so that tourists
may take the most convenient method
in travelling through the forest and
still see the most important places of
interest.
These roads logs will cover all in.

Dakota Legislature
Asked to Take Part
In Prohibition War

Pierre, S. D., 28.-One OF the most
vital issues to come before the law
makers OF South Dakota is a pro-
posed law which will put into force
the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution, adopted by the
voters in the November election. II
is necessary that the Legislature pass
an act placing penalty upon the vio-
lation of the prohibition measure be-
fore the law becomes operative. Re-
ports indicate general demand
throughout the state that the law be
made as stringent as possible and
that heavy penalties be placed upon
the violation of the prohibition pro-
vision. Some OF the most ardent
prohibition supporters are pressing
for clause which will prohibit the
importation Of liquor into the state
for home consumption.
Another important measure, which
probably will be considered, is legisla-
ton which would curb the activities
of the so-called !. w. w. bands that
have caused riots throughout the
state, virtually seizing trains and
mcnacing towns in the agricultural
districts in the harvest season.
Suffrage will come up for consid-
Grafton, it is believed. The women
OF the state, undaunted by their de-
feat in the former elections, will ask
for a re-submission of the suffrage
amendment to the voters in the next
general election to be held in 1918.
At recent meeting Of the South Da-
kota Universal Suffrage league the
women passed a resolution calling
for a new vote and an active cam
paign is being waged throughout the
state for its consideration.

COMMISSION TAKES
UP CAR SHORTAGE
Order Looking to Relieving the
Freight Congestion of Roads
Ready to Be Issued.
RAILROAD MEN AT HEARING

Washington, Dec. 28.-Representa-
tives of railroads throughout the
country today appeared before the In
terstate Commerce commission to
show cause why the commission
should not take into its own hands
the car shortage situation heretofore
dealt with by the roads themselves
and issue drastic orders to relieve
congestion.
The, order which the commission
apparently is prepared to issue, unless
the roads show cause why it should
not, would require the roads to re-
turn to connecting lines all foreign
cars on their tracks after unloading,
Heretofore the railroads have en-
deavored to cope with the situation
by requiring roads in the east. where
the congestion is greater, to return
to connecting lines monthly larger
number OF foreign cars than received.
Disregard Requirement.
This requirement is said to have
been largely disregarded by certain
eastern roads with resultant upset OF
the relief plans.
While congestion of traffic is said
to be somewhat less at present than
recently, the improvement in condi-
tions apparently has not been as rapid
as the commission expected it
would be.
One of the phases OF today's hear
ing was the claim advanced by GER
tain railroad interests that the CON-
mission apparently was without
authority to issue such an order as
cited in today's summons.
George Hodges, secretary of the
car service committee created by the
American Railway association, the
first witness, said that it had been
agreed that the committee should have
all the authority of the railroad ex-
ecutives over car distribution. The
Grand Trunk, he said, had refused to
be bound by the rules, which had I'M
posed an increase in the per diem
rate for rental. He said thirty-seven
inspectors were out checking up the
railroads.
