TRUTH RATHER SCARCE

London, Dec. 15.-Lord Robert Ce-
Gil, minister of blockade, in his week
ly talk with the Associated Press, re-
plying to question in regard to a
recognition of the Bolsheviki govern
ment of Russia, said:
1--WE shall gladly recognize any gov
eminent which we believe represents
the Russian people, either de facto or
de jure We are not yet satisfied that
the Boisheviki are entitled to such
recognition"
When asked whether the United
States would join her allies in any
steps taken in regard to Russia, LORI
Robert said:
Il should be sorry to see any con-
ST lerable step taken in the conduct of
the war or any preparation. made for
peace without American participa-
ton"
In regard to rumors that Bolsheviki
government now was planning the
establishment of a constitutional mon
archy, the minister of blockad~ said:
I'm considering r1mors, 1 always
remind myself that nine-tenths OF
what is said in a revolution is untrue

CORN AND OATS GAIN
Rise Only Slight Because of Embargo
on Grain Shipments.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Big snow storms
and severe cold that reduced the
operating efficiency of the railroads so
per cent gave an upward slant this
week to the price of grain. Compared
with a week ago, corn this morning
varied from unchanged figures to u
cents higher, and oats showed rise
of l to 2 q cents. There were down
turns in provisions ranging from so
cents to $3.50. Advances in the corn
market would undoubtedly have been
more far reaching but for an explicit
announcement by the food administra-
ton that no railway shipments of
grain to or thru the embargoed zone
east of Chicago would be permitted.
Oats assembled to new high price
records for the season. Scantiness of
arrival here, together with export de-
mand by way of the gulf. furnished
the stimulus. Increasing supplies of
hogs pulled down provisions.

STOCKS IN A QUANDARY
New Low Record No Longer a Sensa-
ton in, Wall Street.

New York, Dec. 15.-The perplexing
railroad situation. higher money rates,
due mainly to extraordinarily heavy
disbursements ~ and to the federal
government and increasing concern
respecting the course of foreign mill
tary and political developments were
the more disturbing features of an
other very unsettled week in the
stock market
The familiar tale of new low rec
ords was repeated with added force
and breadth, many high class railway
and industrial issues joining the al
ready long list of new minimums for
periods extending from few years to
almost a generation. Rallies or two
t, almost five points occurred in lead
ing stocks toward the end OF the
week, the movement evidently being
prompted by a realization of attrac-
tive dividend returns AID considerable
short covering.
General trade conditions are re-
ported as fairly satisfactory, but the
reaction in bank clearings offered
proof of a moderate setback in many
lines of industry.

WORLD SECURITY ESSENTIAL

''We Stand Half Way Between
Victory and Defeat"

London, Dec. 15.-Full agreement
with President Wilson in war aims
was emphatically declared by Premier
Lloyd George Of England this after
noon.
Speaking at the Lawyers clubs. at
Gray's inn, the premier declared:
THE government fully agrees with
President Wilson's speech.
I'VE are now at the halfway house
between victory and defeat"
A league of nations, arbitration, etc,
after victory would be all right but
without victory would be a farce.
ITO end the war without reparation
would be farce in tragical setting.
I'VE ought never to have started
unless we meant at all hazards to COM
plete our task.
''Victory'ss essential condition is
world security.
Must Increase Tonnage.
This is the fateful hour of man
redeem Britain and Europe and the
world, must be the purpose of every
man and woman who places duty
above ease.
Democracy is at stake. England
and America must strain every re-
source. Both must especially increase
tonnage.
THE most momentous fact of the
year, transposing the whole situation
was Americas replacement of Russia
in the struggle against autocracy.
"Britain's will is like tempered
steel" the premier continued There
is no sign of a break
victory is a question of tonnage.
Nothing can defeat us except a
shortage of tonnage.
Germany is desperately endeavor-
ing to force the issue before America
is ready. She will not succeed"

INCREASE PRODUCTION
Government May Lease Oil Fields in
Near Future.

Washington, Dec. 1.-two meas
ures of tremendous interests to the
west and vital interest to the coun-
try for prosecution of the war by
unlocking natural resources were
started on the path toward accom-
plishment in congress today. The
Shields water power bill for leasing of
power sites in navigable streams was
passed by the senate and sent to the
house. 1t was lost in a hopeless dead
lock in the last congress.
To. hasten passage of the bill for
leasing oil lands, which is expected
to open the way for development of
wells to meet the fuel shortage, sem
ate leaders agreed to abandon all at
tempts to make the bill apply to the
naval reserve lands in California and
Wyoming and to preserve the lands
intact for naval fuel, having the gov
eminent take over existing claims by
condemnation of proceedings.
The latter decision removes an OBJ
stacle which has precipitated a great
fight in congress and held up oil land
development in the west.
