ATTITUDE OF SPAIN ARGUED
ABOVE ALL THE GOVERNMENT
Is NEUTRAL, DECLARES
PREMIER

Madrid, by way Of Paris, February
lS-Spanish neutrality was the sub
ject of animated discussion in the
Cortes last night, when several de-
puties, including Seniors Rodes and
Garcia, questioned the premier, Count
dc Romanones, of the attitude of the
government in war. Deputy ROdes
demanded an explicit statement upon
the motives actuating the govern
ment's policy and upon what it pro-
posed to do.
The premier, in reply, said that the
government was above all, neutral as
between the two opposing elements
and had shown its attitude very dis
tinctliy in the action taken in connec-
ton with several moves by the United
States; one, the invitation to inter-
vene for the re-establishment of
peace, and, another an invitation to
declare war against Germany
Deputy ROdes interrupting the pre-
mier said that this declaration by
Count de Domanones was incorrect,
because the United States had never
invited Spain to declare war.
Amidst considerable excitement in
the chamber caused by this remark,

INDEPENDENTS IN CONFERENCE

Washington. February 17---Four of
he five so-called Independent Repre-
ientatives-elect, who may have the
'alance OF power in the organization
Jf the next House. held a conference
iere tonight to make plans for CO.
peration, but failed to agree to act as
unit on any proposal. They did agree
. meet again shortly before the con-
,ening of the new Congress, after
,ounding out both Democratic and Re-
publican leaders as to their attitude
n reforms favored generally by the
adependents. The conferees also
pledged themselves not to caucus with
any party before their next meeting.
Those present were: Representative
elect Fuller, Independent, of Massa-
ausetts, and Representatives Martin,
Progressive Protectionist. Louisiana;
London, Socialist, New York, and Ran
iall, Prohibitonist, of California. Rep
resentative Shall, Progressive, of
minnesota, was absent from the city.
The personnel of the new House is
expected to include 215 Republicans,
215 Democrats and five independents.
Two hundred and eighteen gross are
required to elect Speaker.
Coincident with. the meeting of the
independents it developed that on the
Republican side of the House, where
a split had been threatened over the
speakership, peace proposal had
been brought forward under which the
so-called progressive wing is expected
to join in supporting Representative
Mann for Speaker on the condition
that Representative Lenroot, of Wis
consin, be made floor leader
The Republicans have by no means
abandoned hope of organizing the new
House, but the Democrats say Speaker
Clark is sure of at least two independ-
ent votes and probably will also get
on the first ballot the one additional
necessary to elect.

GREEKS FORCED TO EAT GRASS

Washington, February IS - The
Greek legation in statement issued
here today says famine is resulting
from the Entent blockade of the coast
of Greece and the poor classes are
living on herbs and grass. 1t also is
declared that despite compliance with
the ultimatum of the allies, there has
been no relaxation of blockade meas
ures. The statement follows:
"The Greek legation has received
information to the effect that the re-
suit of the blockade of the Greek
coasts enforced by the Entente allies
since December 8 are of the most
gruesome character.
"Ten deaths from starvation have
been reported from the province of
Jammina; one at Laurium,, ten in
Acarnania, two in the province of Pre-
VEGA, one in Eubia and one in Mes
sina. The poor classes have begun to
live on herbs and grass. The epidemics
OF enteritis and dysentery are rapidly
spreading in the country.
Notwithstanding the complete exc
cution of the allies ultimatum, no re-
taxation Of the blockade has been
brought about. Numbers of fishing
boats constantly are sunk or sequest-
cred by the ships enforcing the block
ade, Coasting trade between ports of
the kingdom is completely prohibited.

1.-The rapid increase in the cost Of living in the United

Part OF the increase has been due the high price the
warning countries willing pay and part to the de-
sire OF American producers to take advantage Of scarcity
and higher prices than the actual condition supply
and demand justified.
AT the outbreak OF the war many persons who
under contract to supply goods at specified prices

order to protect themselves against similar losses in the
future, they advanced their prices in anticipation of
higher costs which they might be compelled to pay.

the premier replied that in reality the
United States had invited Spain only
to break off diplomatic relations with
Germany and added:
Spain is the friend of all the bel
llgerents and all neutras and for that
very reason it can not undertake dis
cussons or negotiations which would
have the effect of injuring our friend

not exist against any country, but that

The premier closed the debate by
declaring that the government would
maintain with pride its neutrality and
would defend all points of its note to
Germany, protesting against the sub

A TRIAL VISIT TO DAWSON.

We have been trying ever since
the New Opera House was completed
to get line on Klaw & Erlanger
attractions, as they are the best road
shows out. But so far we have not
met with the desired results. Klaw
& Erlanger claim that Dawson is too
small a place for their shows. Their
shows are money makers in large
cities and they do not care to run
the risk in a town as small as Daw-
son. Nevertheless, after much cor
respondence we have made them
agree to give us Cheating Cheat
ers" as a trial. The success of
Cheating Cheaters" in Dawson will
govern the other attractions that
come here this year. If you pack the
house full at that show Klaw & Err
LANCER will let us have other attrac-
tons; if you fail to come they will
not. So it is up to you to say wheth-
er you want the best shows to come
to Dawson or not.
Purchase tickets as soon as they
are placed on sale, and get a big
crowd to come so we can have more
of the big attractions. Cheating
Cheaters" is a big one-it plays at
Atlanta, Savannah, Macon and all
big theaters everywhere.

one Broom frame house"
j. A. Johnson, 1918 West Twenty
seventh street, Kansas side, owned
the house. He bought it two years
ago. 1t was at 316 South Boeke
street, and, he believed, guaranteed
to stay there as a well-behaved house
should. For about a year now the
house has been vacant, but when
Johnson passed it in his motor car
a week ago, it was still on its lot.
Today he passed by again. The
house was gone! Only the concrete
foundation gaped up at him from the
empty lot.
Johnson offered SO reward to any
one who can give him information
as to what has become of his house.
