Big PROBLEM

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 15.-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to eight
thousand British prisoners of war
from Germany shortly are to take up
their quarters at The Hague and in
the neighborhood, constituting q
fresh strain on the sorely tried hous-
ing accommodation of the city and
its environs. A like number Of Ger
man prisoners from. Great Britain are
to be quartered in other parts of the
country, and preparations are afoot
to provide for them.
Both Great Britain and Germany
have sent over representatives to CO.
operate with the Netherlands author
titles in the matter. Special hospital
accommodations are being provided
Tor the numerous invalids, as only a
limited number of cases can be plac-
ed in existing civil and military
hospitals. The British and Neither
lands Red Cross societies are joining
efforts in this task,
A site has been offered by the city
council of The Hague, in the immedi-
ate neighborhood OF the British
quarters, for the erection of work.
shops, Young Mems Christian assoc
citation huts and the provision OF
football and cricket grounds. Follow
ing the example set in Switzerland,
special care is to be devoted to
training men for useful avocations.
With view TO avoiding competition
with native labor, in accordance with
rules laid down by the authorities,
the employment provided probably
will take the form OF constructing
movable houses or cabins for use in
Belgium s4fter the war, and making
furniture for the same purpose, work
that is already occupying many Bel
gian interned soldiers and refugees.
To accustom the German prisoners
to regular employment and give them
a certain amount Of confidence in the
future, workshops are to be erected
in the Wolfhezen camp. Raw ma
terials are to be brought from Ger
many, where the finished work will
be in due course exported in order to
avoid competition with Netherlands
workmeh. According to present plans,
some Of the men will be put to work
on the land, while students will be
given facilities to continue their
studies at Netherlands universities.

Frazier Asks All
To Aid Red Cross

Governor Lynn Frazier last even
Ing came to the support of the Red
Cross in accord with the nation
wide plan Of the Red Cross by which
every governor was requested TO is

"A proclamation has been issued
by President Wilson calling for TO-

Cross within the period beginning
Sunday, Dec. is. and ending Christ

today on the corn market. The out
look seemed better for increased re-
ceipts IL trafnc conditions on the rail-
roads made any substantial improve
ment. Weakness of the stock and cot
ton market tended also to give the
bears an advantage. Opening prices,
which ranged from unchanged figures
to y c lower, were followed by slight
declines all around.
Oats weakened with corn. StoppaEe
of export demand from the gulf acted
as a further depressing influence.
Big breaks in the value of hogs
knocked support from under provi-
sions. Sharpest declines were in pork.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISION
SEMINARY

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Big snoWstormE
and severe cold that reduced the OPP
Grating efficiency Of the raliroaas BY
per cent gave an upward slant this
week to the price Of grain. Compared
with week Ago, corn this morning
varied from unchanged figures 70 Y 9
higher, and oats showed a rise OF TO
2Ac There were downturns In pro-
visions ranging from 60c to $3.50.
Advances In the corn market would
undoubtedly have been more FAR
reaching but for an explicit an
nouncement by the food admtnistra-
ton that no railway shipments of
grain to or through the embargoed
zone east of Chicago would be per-
mitted. Inferencess however, that the
ruling implied the massing OF stocks
here and at other leading western ter
minals turned out to be premature.
Throughout the week, receipts con-
tinued meager owing chiefly 70 the
handicaps on the railroads. In this
connection, talk was current that but
little actual relief from car scarcity
had yet been witnessed. Two railroad
systems were said to have received
only 32S cars out Of total allotment
Of about 5000.
Oats assembled to new high price
records for the season. scantiness Of
arrivals here, together with export
demand by way Of the gulf furnished
the stimulus.
increasing supplies OF hogs pulled
down provisions.

to begin and the subject OF It was
