WASHINGTON.-By maiI.)-The
senate naval committees investiga-
ton of the recent gun accidents
aboard American ships has developed
the information that some of the first
armed American merchantmen to en-
ter the war zone were without range
finders, and were, therefore, practical
ly without means of defense. The
cause of the failure to secure the
range finders was the delay occasion
ed by obtaining them and the desire
of the ship owners to get their vessels

GRAINS LOWER ON
RAILROAD FACTOR
Traders Believe Government will
Rush Stuff from Primary
Markets..
LACK OF CARS IS
PRESENT OBSTACLE

Chicago, Ills, Dec. 27-Grain prices
averaged lower today, chiefly as re-
suit of announcement that the gov
eminent would take possession of the
railroads. Corn closed steady, jan
uary 1.2Gh@A and May 1.24A@%c,
with the finish as whole varying
from quarter q decline to ne ad-
vance, compared with twenty-four
hours before. Oats underwent a set
back Of nc to 13sc net and provisions
Of 5 to Csc. ~. -.
Most corn traders inclined to the be.
lief that the government would now
bring about q larger movement OF
feedstuffs from the interior to the
principal terminals Any aggressive
selling based on this theory, however,
was checked by a disposition to wait
until the actual grain showed up.
In fact, the present scarcity of ar.
rivals led at one time today to some
thing of rally, but the strength fail
ed to last, except in the December
delivery. Lack OF cars continued to
be reported from many sections. New.
ertheless with peace news attracting
fresh notice, the tendency of the mar
ket to sag was almost constantly re-
current.
At the outset, prices of oats had an
upward slant owing mainly to export
inquiries. Later, though, the new rail.
road outlook together with peace talk
led to a sharp break

TALKATIVE TOWNLEY.
(Sioux City, Ia, Journal

NOlOuA cIIy, Id, JOuIudl.)
To the one who is not farmer-or
promoter of the Nonpartisan league
some of the statements of President
A. G. Townley of that league are diff
ficult Of understanding. For instance
Mr. Townley, who has been campaign
ing for his league in New York state
tells his audiences there that it costs
the. farmers of North Dakota 1854 to
produce bushel of wheat. Inasmuch
as the price allowed by the govern
ment for the best grade of wheat is
1920. which means an average price
for average wheat in North Dakota of
about $1.85 a bushel, it would seem
the North Dakota farmer is very fool
ish to attempt to raise wheat at ALL
The more he raises the worse off he
is. Yet Mr.. Townley in his same
speech goes on to say that his farmers
are borrowing money to put in even
greater acreages of wheat next spring
than they ever have before.
Surely our benevolent government
does not require a farmer to- bank
rupt himself and condemn hisS family
to a life of poverty merely to5sJaise
more wheat. Surely 1.-THE statements
OF Mr.. Townley are true, and iE he
presents the situation 2assit exists In
fact, there should be a Fastening to
correct the evil in North Dakota at
the earliest possible moment. A man
who persists in bankrupting himself
in this fashion should be looked after
at once. There is something wrong
with his financial judgment, if not
with his mentality as whole. He is
a menace to good government and to
his country, for he is engaged in max
ing paupers on a wholesale scale. A
man who insists on continuing wheat
production, and not only that, but in
sists on raising more each year than
he did the last, and is losing $l.60 on
every bushel he raises, is an undesir-
able citizen and his activities should
be restrained. First thing the country
knows the entire farming population
of North Dakota will be objects of
public charity.

FARMERS ASK PAY
FOR DIFFERENCE IN
PRICES OF CROPS
Claim Insurance in Spite of Fact
They Got Over 81 the
Acre.

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 2S.-Twenty-two
suits against the National Union Fire
insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa, have
been instituted by Sullivan & Sulli-
van on behalf of farmers who have
unsatisfied claims for drouth insur-
ance. These suits are based on
grounds somewhat different from
those common in suits filed against
The company in other parts of the
state The plaintiffs claim they were
promised insurance up to 81 the acre
.aseu on 81 wheat, $l.75 flax, 7O-cent
rye and 50-cent barley and spel:z
They contend that the fact that their
meagre crops, through exceptionally
high prices, yielded them more than
81 the acre, on the average, does not
exempt the company for liability on
the sum avove what these crops would
have represented at the prices noted
in the Insurance policies.

TRIBUNE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT
MARKET IN TURMOIL
OF BULL[SH FERY0R
Rails Five to Eighteen Points up
and IndustriaIs Aviate Two
BEARS ARE SWEPT .'
OFF THEIR FEET

New York, Dec. 27.-The stock mar
ket was thrown into a riot of bullish
enthusiasm today by the unexpected
news of forthcoming federal control
of the railroads.
Standard rails rose to IS points
during the more active advance of the
forenoon and industrials later became
prominent at gross gains of to 6
points under lead of United States
steel. ., &a~
Evidently the terms and conditions
already announced in connection with
this unprecedented action are far
from reassuring to investors and rail-
way interests than was generally ex-
pected.
The constructive features embodied
in the plan were helpful to other is
sues, including the wide range of in
dustrials, war equipments and allied
specialties, as we'll as utilities.
Wall street believes all lines of in
dustry are sure to derive substantial
benefits from the physical improve
ment and maintenance OF the transpor-
tatiOn systems to which the govern
ment now is committed.
From the very outset today's mar
ket swept the bears off their feet in
the wild scramble to cover contracts
In spite of restrictions against specu-
lation, there existed an extensive
short interest whose paper profits"
melted in the comprehensive advance
Final prices in important stocks
were ! to points under maximums,
but the net result was the most heart
ening since the beginning of the long
sustained decline Total sales amount
ed to 100000 shares.
Bonds of low grade railroads rose 2
to 8 per cent, investments gaining /
to 2, International bonds hardened
moderately. Liberty As sold at 81 to
1886 and 3h's at $3.50 to 1886. Total
bond sales (par value) $3.50, 900.
United States bonds (old issues) were
unchanged on call.

between the revolutionary elements
continues at several points, while the
Bolsheviki troops at Hardin, Man
churia, have been defeated in battle
by the Chinese, who captured the gar
rison. Apparently distrustful of the
Rumanians, Ukrainian forces, who are
opposed to the Bolsheviki, have occu
pied several Rumanian divisional
headquarters on the battle front, dis
arming those of the Rumanians who
offered resistance.
An indication that things in Ger.
many are not going in accordance
with the German governments desires
is the report that more than 300 mem
bers of the German minority socialist
party were arrested in numerous cities
on Christmas eve. This branch of the
socialists long has desired peace and
refused to acquiesce in the. govern.
ments war program.
IT,. Verdun Assault Fails.
Once again the Germans have en-.
deavored to break the French front on
the Verdun sector, but again have
failed. Two assaults delivered north
of Caurieres wood resulted in the de-
feat of the enemy and the infliction of
heavy casualties. The Germans at
one point succeeded in PENETRATING a
French front line trench, but were I'M
elected.
On the northern Italian front there
has been an abatement in the artillery
activity between the Asiago plateau
and the Brenta river, but the intensive
duels between the Brenta and Pave
continue The infantry forces of the
belligerents are virtually inactive.
Lose Eleven Planes.
Austro-German air squadrons at
tempting to bomb the Venetian plain
towns of TreviZo and Monte Belluno
suffered the loss of eleven planes in
spectacular air battles with British
and Italian aviators. Over Trevizo
enemy machines were at
tackled and forced to flee with a loss
of eight planes, while later a squad
ron of eight Austro-Germans in
fight over Monte Belluno lost three
All of the British and Ital-
ian aircraft returned safely to their
bases. Little damage was done by the
bombs dropped by the invaders.

ON ALL FRONTS
CZERNIN'S PEACE TERMS


Terms under which the Teutonic
allies would be willing to make IAN
immediate and general peace" have
been made known to the Russian del.
egates engaged in the peace pourpar.
lers at Brest-Litovsk. The erms have
been set forth in an address by Count
Czernin, the Austro-H Hungarian foreign
minister.
AS in previous Teut0nic allied init.
nations of what will be required from
the Germanic viewpoint to bring about
q cessation of histilities and eventual
peace, the latest terms are hedged
about by conditions which seemingly
are insuperable from the standpoint of
the United States and the entente
allies.
Allies Must Cooperate. ~"
The basic principles of the peace
terms of the Russian revolutionary
masses-no lamentations and no in
demnities-COunt CZernin said he be-
lieved could be made the basis of a
general peace, but that the Teutonic
allies could not bind themselves. to
these conditions unless a guarantee
were given that Russia's allies would
recognize and fulfill them.
Notable omissions in the statement
Of Count Czernin connected with the
concrete demands of the United
States, Great Britain and France as al
ready made known are the questions
particularly of the rebuilding of Bel
GUM and Serbia, the return of A1sace
and Lorraine to France and the over.
throw of militaristic government in
Germany and the formation in its
place of a government that can be be-
lieved--the latter demand as set
forth by President Wilson in his adj.
dress to congress calling for war with
kustria-Hungary.
Pending the placing of Count Ger.
Minis proposals before Russia's allies
the Russian delegates to the peace
conference have asked for ten days
recess in the negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk.
