GERMANS FEELING
BLOCKADE EFFECT
Prussian Finance Minister Pre-
diets Ultimate Success De-
spite Food Scarcity.
MORE SACRIFICES NEEDED

London, Jan. I'm submitting tn,
1917 budget in the Prussian diet DR.
Lentze, the minister of finance, ac
cording to Reuter- dispatch iron
Amsterdam, made the following state
ment:
Each time we have submitted the
war budget in the last two years, VIZ
have entertained the hope it would
be the last with which we would
have to deal Again we submit wal
budget and we should not like to
abandon the same hope despite the
fact that the German peace offer has
been refused by our enemies with the
announcement Of their policy OF war
to destruction"
After prophcsying that the attacks
of Germany's foes would fail before
the bravery Of the German forces, DR..
Lentze continues:
The war has severely taxed our
budget and has demanded special ei-
forts. Although balance OF receipts
and expenditures was established on
the estimates, this was only in ap-
pearance, because many important
financial questions had to be post
poned until later. This means until
after the war. We must continue to
conduct our political economy on
narrower, more stringent lines than
formerly.
THE principal thing today is that
we win the war" DR.. Lentze con.
tinued THE blockade makes itself
felt more and more. II cannot be
denied that il lies heavily on the
country, and yet it must be borne.
Encroachments on private interests,
the difficulties Of supplying foodstuffs
and their costliness certainly are very
great. Many a man with small in
come and a large family has great
difficulty to meet them, but what is
the welfare OF single individual as
compared with the future OF our
whole peoplei
Our enemies make great mistake
IT they believe they can conquer US
by blockade. No one starves in
Germany. despite the blockade. This
has been we'll provided against. In
enemy countries the cost OF food and
the distress in many respects are
greater than with US. There are still
difficult months ahead Of US, very
heavy fighting still to overcome, many
sacrifices Of blood and treasure still
TO make. We do not deny il. But
our confidence remains firm. We are
all convinced that we cannot be de-
feated and that victory will be with
US. Our true God, who so certainly
has guided the young empire OF Prus-
STA, will remain with US il only we
do our duty, and this we shall do
with willing hearts"

HEARING OF LEAK"
CHARGES DELAYED
Members of Committee Unable
to Agree on Counsel to
Direct Inquiry.
ARE GIVEN MORE TIME

Washington, Jan. l7.-Members OF
the house rules committee in confer,
ence late today were unable to agree
on counsel to be employed to direct
the leak investigation. 1t was an
nounced that there would be no pub
lie hearings tomorrow and probably
none until counsel had been chose.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE leak in
vestigation was interrupted today
while the house extended the time OF
the investigating committee thirty
day and authorized it to employ coun-
sci. This foreshadows extending the
inquiry to its broadcast aspects. TAX
ing of testimony will be resumed to-
morrow, probably with J. P. Morgan
and other hnanciers in the witness
chair.
Although declining to object Rep
resentative Cooper, republican, OF
Wisconsin, criticised the inquiry to
date in short speech.

have only confirmed the belief
throughout the nation that there is
no fine sense of honor in public life.
This inquiry has degenerated into
partisan struggle.
Representative Moore of Pennsyl-
vania said that Samuel Untermyer
had been suggested as counsel for the
committee and declared that Charles
Evans Hughes might be a good man
to consider
Republican Leader Mann then de-
clared:
Il am convinced that the employ
ment OF either Samuel Untermyer or
Mr.. Hughes would be an act OF such
gross improperly that it would not
be considered for a moment by the

ieved that the investigation will
show that no public official in high
place has been guilty of that which

BIjOU Offering
Large PROGRAM

THE Cost of Fame is the title Of
the Vitagraph blue ribbon feature
photopIay now being shown at the
Bijou. theater, ana it shows the cost
in some instances in most pronounced
fashion. Whether the fame" is worth
the cost is hard to state. 1t is prob
able that no two persons would take
the same viewpoint. Fame, at any
cost, is desired by many and there is
no sacrifice too great to make to Sc
cure the bauble.
Naomi Childers, big favorite with
Bijou audiences, and Marc MacDef
mott are the stars Of The Cost Of
Fame" The photodrama is founded
In everyday life. No effort is made
to draw lessons or comparisons from
the past, but rather a strong effort Is
made to point out the fight being
made today by those who seek to
reach the topmost rungs of the ladder.
It is a strong, wholesome offering.
Burton Holmes also appears at the
Bijou through the medium Of one Of
his Travelogues, and these are always
enjoyable. There are two selected
comedy offerings besides a Bray Ca,
toon. All in all the Bijou is present
ing a big bill.
