HUNGARY IN STRAITS
FOR FOOD SUPPLIES
Dictator Says Only One-Sevcnth Of
Needs OF Nation to August is
in Sight.

London. Jan. 1.-THE Daily Chron-
icle quotes from the Budapest Hirlap
the following extracts from a declara-
ton made recently by the Hungarian
food dictator:
1.-The first requisition for corn has
not met with the hoped-for success,
and a second requisition therefore is
first. The known stock and that
which is at our disposal together rep
resent only one-seventh of the needs
Of the whole country and army until
Aug. Is. 1917. What is lacking must
be found and we have only two means
Of making good the deficit-requisi-
ton and importation from Rumania.
We hope that part of the Rumanian
grain will be allotted to us. but it is
still too early to speak of that.
"The truth is Germany is not so
much in need Of food and cereals as
we are, and even Austria is in a bet
Of food has been unsystematic from
the beginning and no improvement
has taken place. Appearances result
ing from this lack Of organiza ton
give the impression Of an excellent
position, not necessitating food tickets
as in Germany and Austria. We are
not, however in a better position. We
are merely not organized. From
henceforth Austria cannot receive
even grain Of corn from us.
LAS regards the discrepancy be-
needs, we hope this will be pascal bly,
reduced as the result of severe requi-
sition. AS matter Of fact, the right
Of searching private houses has been
conferred on the authorities and will
not be without success"

30 DAY SESSION
OUT OF QUESTION
Less than Half Usual Mum.
Der of Bills are introduced
in Legislature so Far.

Bismarck. N. D.. Jan. 1.-THE
house. SO far. at least, as the league
majority is concerned. Is marking
time. pending some compromise with
the senate which will permit the Nom
partisans to go forward with their leg
isla tive program.
OF the league measures promised
the people. positive action can be TAX
en- at the present session on but two
terminal elevators and rural credits
for both of which provisions were
made at earlier assemblies, and for
whose present state of well-be1ng the
league cannot claim any credit.
The league can do nothing more
than start its amendments providing
for state-owned -four mills and state
owned packing plants, and no great
glory attaches to the launching of
referenda which may hove to in some
allen port.
League Does Little.
Therefore. aside from the merest
routine. the league has done practi-
cally nothing in the house. Not a
single league measure has been sub
mitted to date. There have come in
mended by Governor Frazier and At
torney General LANCER, but the cur
tain has not yet risen on the main
show. and there is nothing to indicate
just when it will do so.
Less than half the usual number of
bills have been introduced In the
house; the assembly as whole is less
than half so we'll along with it's work
as it was a year ago. Hopes of a
thirty days session. unless the league
members. facing a deadlock, should
give up In disgust and go home, are
very dim. Unless the house begins to
show some speed, it is doubtful
whether the routine work can be
crowded into sixty days.
Appropriations Bill.
Some little variety will be offered in
the house Friday by the annual re-
port of the state budget board. The
board will ask for more than it did
two years ago. partly because of the
high cost of everything the state buys,
and largely because the growth of the
last two years has been abnormal.
New buildings are needed by old in
stitutions. and there is one important
new institution to be cared.

KAISER VOICES
WAR SPIRIT Of
HIS COUNTRY
Press Unanimously Halls
His Elaboration to Fight
to a Finish.

Berlin. Jan. 11.-what will prob
ably be Germnay's only answer to the
ententes refusal Of the central pow
ers' peace offer-the kaiser's short,
sharp order to the army and navy
voices not only the unanimous public
opinion at the front. but also that of
the overwhelming majority at home.
Ihe kaiser. with his never-failing
gift OF gauging and interpreting Ger
man public opinion, has merely ex-
pressed more concisely and vividly
what practically everybody has been
thinking and saying during the first
week OF the new year: That the en-
tente does not dream of talking
peace: that it is still bent on COM
passing the destruction of Germany,
and that there is nothing to do but
rally in defense Of the fatherland and
prepare for the fight.
regardless Of differences as to in
ternal and foreign policies, the Ger
man press unanimously halls the
kaiser's message to his fighting forces
with satisfaction. An indication of
the spirit Of press and people is con-
tanned in this comment by the Lokal-
anzeiger:
The vigorous words Of the kaiser,
ringing like sword-strokes will find
not only among the members of the
AAAS s~AN navy Oul dIlOIS LIle WnOl0
people OF Germany and the allied
states, the heartiest echo. Deter
mined to continue the war. but ready
for peace, was the motto with which
the central powers made their noble
offer, animated by the spirit of hu-
manitarianism and European kultur
The offer was rejected with scorn and
abuse as a hypocritical maneuver.
as last war ruse. Our readiness was
o1ui~
swered with the well-known threats
against our national and economic ex-
istence. ~,
THAT, put an end to our proposal
for us, as we'll as for our enemies.
All the stronger significance, therefore
attaches to the other part of our
motto, in which our preparedness to
continue the war was declared. Clear
sighted and with a quiet conscience
sacrifices. The responsibility for all
that must now afflict not only us, but
all Europe for generations to come.
falls on those who so brusquely and
senselessly struck back our honor
ably proffered hand. The steel will
of our defensive forces Of which the
kaiser speaks will find worthy support
in the steel endurance and will Of the
whole nation.
of humiliation in the entente note, all
doubt has disappeared that the fight is
not for larger or smaller political ad-
vances. but that the whole is at stake
the existence Of the states of the
quadruple alliance. He who would
want to quit in this fight would sur
render himself and all that is dearest
to him. The kaiser's words call on the
armed forces Of the empire powerfully
to, defend the fatherland against its
enemies plans Of destruction. Steeled
In strength and will Germany, side
BY side with its allies, marches to
meet the decision which is now pre-

TT is good news to hear that the gen

= stop to the maudlin and perniciouS
correspondence between women and
men convicts in penitcntiaries and jails.
Strange as il may seem to the average
healthy minded individual, a society for
promoting letter writing between re-
spectacle women and the male inmates
Of penal institutions exists. II is called
the Oriental ESoteric Literary league OF
Washington, and it sends out circulars
to women drawing a pathetic picture OF
the sad and lonely lie OF the men behind
the bars, telling how greatly they
would be cheered and upiifted by re.
ceiving letter from some pure younl
girl or some woman with a warm, ten.
der, sympathetic heart, and asking such
women to adopt a convict aud writ,
to him regularly.
And all over the country thousands ol
silly geese oi, females who think only
with their emotions have responded L
this appeal and carried on a heart-to
hear, correspondence with gentlemen
whose permanent addresses are sins
Sing, or Joliet, or Leaycnworth, or At
lanta, or Trenton, or some other plac,
which is a winter and summer resor
for murdcrers, burglars and whit,
