German Grain Crop
Is Greater Than Ever

Berlin, via wireless, Jan. l6.--A state
ment circulated by the official press
bureau today discussed and denied in
detail the reiterated charges in the al
bed note that Germany was responsible
for the war and cited statistics to re-
fute charges that Germany is starving.
German grain crops the state
ment said, Gin the present year ex-
eceded those of preceding years by
four million tons, of which one million
and n half is bread corn. This fact
already proves that Germany, for which
the last year S crop was sufficient, will
get along with this years crop even
better.
" As to the potato crop, which, while
considerably inferior TO the average,
will be covered mostly by an excellent
beet crop.

West Salem Car Service
Not Fully Satisfactory

Considerable inconvenience is report
ed by residents of West Salem regard
ing the iitney car service between
Salem and the west side of the river
on account of the stopping of cars
about ten thirty o clock in the evening.
Yesterday evening little school girl,
depending on the car service to get
home, came to Salem to see show.
When the show was over, she found she
could not get home because the Jitney-
car had stopped running, and she had
to remain in Salem all night and go
home this morning.
It is stated that there are two train
crews, each scheduled for ten-hour
tour of duty. One of these crews is
said TO go on duty at about 2:40
o. clock in the afternoon and operate
the car for ten hours, which would
make the tour end about 12:40 O'Clock
the next morning.
1t is declared that the afternoon
crew stops the running of the cars
about ten-thirty and so inconvenience
the residents of West Salem who may
be delayed beyond their hour in re-
turning home. The people across the
river believe the jitney service should
extend for the full time the men are
supposed to work.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 17.-No at.
tempt was made by British diplomats
here to hide their concern over United
Press dispatches telling of wholesale
ship sinkings by a German raider in
South Atlantic waters.
The alarming feature of the incident,
one official said, is that repetition of
the feat is not at all impossible.
The German raiders, it was said, can
without much difficulty avoid the
British patrol fleet by making the first
part of their dash for liberty inside
territorial waters of Denmark, where
British warships cannot pursue them.
They are then in position to make a
six hour dash at night for open sea
with good chances of getting away.
The only real solution is a system of
naval convbys, British officials say, as
it is impractieable to arm merchant
men sufficiently to stand off such
raiders as the one now working in the
South Atlantic.
When reminded of the fact that a
conveyed merchantmen was subject to
submarine attack without warning,
British diplomats said it was believed
destroyer would be able to protect a
merchantmen against a submarine as
well as from a raider.
