The dawn of 1917 finds the belh-
Eerent arms, for the time being. at
least, virtually deadlocked everywhere
except in Rumania. 1t finds also in
the air a suggestion by the Teutonic
allies that they are ready to discuss
peace, but as yet no basis Tor the
ending of hostilities has been ad-
vanced by them and the entente al
lies have signifled their determination
to continue fighting until their oft
repeated desires are complied with.
The war map in the main theatres
of the war at the commencement OF
the new year shows at numerous
points material changes in the lines
as they stood a year ago. On the
front In France the Germans in the
Somme region have been driven back
by the French over fronts of consid-
erable size while the Germans In the
Verdun sector made notable gains to-
ward the fortress. but later lost a
part of the terrain through French
advanced their line on the east closer
toward Triest and the entente allies
operating from Saloniki have placed
the Serbians on their native soil again
and also have pushed forward their
lines at various points in Macedonia.
A great drive begun in June by the
Russian general BruSsiion from the
Pinsk marshes to the Carpathians was
successful in clearing the Voihynian
fortress triangle Of the Austro- Ger
mans and in the capture of much ter
rain in Galicia and Bukowina.

CONGRESS TO FACE A

convenes Tuesday to face a great mass
Of business, including railroad legisla-
tion urged by President Wilson to sup

problem of how to meet a big treas
my deficit for the fiscal year 1918.
These salient issues must be given
consideration, together with the annu-
al appropriation bills, only one of
which has passed both houses, and
many general legislative measures

As less than two months remain in
the life of the present session, admin
istration leaders returning from the

the legislative accumulation with de-
spair and to fear that an extra session
of the new and politically somewhat
uncertain congress will be demanded.
President Wilson's action on Satur-
day in again emphasizing his earnest
fesire for railroad strike prevention
legislation by a visit to Senator New

EUROPEAN WAR CAUSE
OF HIGH PRICES
Decision Arrived at by New Yorl
Legislative Committee.

New York, Dec 31-Aithough innu-
merable domestic causes are cited as
having contributed to the steady in
crease in the cost of living in recent
years, the most recent rise in prices
is attributable in large measure to the
European war, according to a joint re-
port on foods and markets submitted
to Governor Whitman today by the
Wicks legislative investigating COM
inittee, the governors market commits
sion and the mayors food supply COM
mittee.
The creation of a state market de-
partment, of proper size, scope and
power" and of departments of similar
character in the cities of the state, are
urged as "a matter of vital immediate
necessity
The vast quantities of foodstuffs
shipped to Europe, the report says
have materially reduced the supply in
this country. In the first nine months
of 1914 exports of breadstuffs amount
ed to STE. 100000; in the first nine
months of 1916 the breadstuffs exported
PARSONS are given with reference to
other products. 1t is also pointed out
that while the production of potatoes
in the United States this year has been
900, 100000 bushels, exports amounting
to 100000 bushels were recorded to
Oct. 1.
Other factors which have contributed
to the high cost of living are enumer-
ated as follows:
Lack of proper transportation and
distribution facilities.
Waste of time and money in dupli-
cate delivery and order service
Increasing tendency of young men
and women to leave farms for cities.
insufficient appropriations for agri-
cultural education and research
Loss of livestock through disease
which might be overcome by the in
auguration of a veterinary service
similar to that in practice in Europe.
Lack of talent to assist the farming
community in the prosecution of sci
entif1c work for further development of
farms.

1915. The country's mines produced
75,500,000 gross tons, against 5000, 900
the year before.
The 1916 coal production also was
the greatest ever known. The mines
sold 597, 100000 tons, compared with
$40, ,000,0 900, the record established in
1913 The quantity of bitumfnous coal

Half of Rumania, which entered the
war in August on the side of the en-
tente, is now in the hands of the Teu-
tonic allies. The sweep of the Rus
slams through the Caucasus region
and Turkish Armenia has compelled
the Turks to yield much territory,
while in the south the British in their
advance toward Bagdad have been
forced to give up their strategic base
at Kut-tl-Amara and are being held
to a virtual stalemate by the Otto
man forces.
Aside from Rumania. there Is lit
tie activity on any of the fronts ex-
eept = the artillery wings of the bel
ligerent armies. On the Moldavia-
Pennsylvania front OF the Rumanian
theatre the Teutonic allies, reinforced,
are still making progress in their
drive, which apparently has as it's OBJ
ject the effecting of a junction with
their troops moving north into Mol
davia- Additional points have been
taken from the Russians and Ruman-
ians on both sides of the Oituz val
ley and in the Putna and Zobala val
teys.
Meanwhile Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen's army continues pushing north
into the country. from the mountains
to the Danube. The eastern flank has
thrown back the Russians from the
BraiIa Bridgehead, while in Dobrudja
the Teutonic line has been driven
closer to Matchin, across the river
from Braila. Here the Russians have
been forced to give up a point of sup
port east of the town.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Three billion
dollars is the value upon the 1916 out
put of American mines in estimates
made to Secretary Lane today by the
geological survey. The enormous pro-
-duction was accompanied by the
greatest profits the mining industries
of the country ever has known, cop
per alone netting about $500, 600, 900.
"Never before" said Secretary
Lane today, has so large drarr peen
made on the mineral resources of our
country and never before have min
erals been extracted with less waste
or utilized to better advantage in ad-
vancing the general prosperity of the
country. The wonderful record of our
mines this year sets forth a degree
of national industrial independence
only hoped for few years ago.
Production, it is estimated, has run
at least 25 per cent. ahead Of 1915.
The copper output was the Seusa-
ton of the year in the mining world.
At an average price of 27 cents n
pound. the 1915 production had a
value of $500, 1000, 900 com pared with

following order addressed to the army

which our enemies put in 1916 have
been foiled. All their assaults east
and west, have collapsed owing TO
your bravery and devotion.
"Our recent triumphal march
through Rurnania has by Divine Prov
idence again added imperishable laur-
els to your banners. The greatest
naval battle this year was our vic
tory in the Skagerrak and the gallant
deeds of our submarines have secured
for my navy glory and admiration for
ever.
You are victorious in all theatres
of war on land and sea. A gratefu,
Fatherland looks to you with unshake-
able confidence and proud reliance
The Incompatible warlike spirit alive
in your ranks, your tenacity. your
ever-s1ackening will to vanuuish
your love of the Fatherland, are to me
a guarantee that in the new year also
victory will remain with our banners
God also in the future will be with
