Foes Unable to Return Compliment at
Prisoner EXCHANGE Conference.

AT the recent conference held at
The Hague by British and German
delegates to discuss the question of
treatment and exchange of prisoners,
the Germans entered the conference
room from a door on one side of the
room and the English from a door on
the opposite side. No conversation
took place except upon the business
of the conference.
Before the conference ended. the
chief of the German delegation rose
and insisted upon thanking the British
warmly for the way In which their
prisoners had been treated. He said
no other country had behaved so well.
The English commissioners bowed
their thanks, but did not return the
compliment.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Oct. 26.-On top of
other bullish conditions a burned
bridge on the Great Northern road,
near Doom, Ia, served to curtail the
movement of stock marketward to-
day. Run of cattle at hand was esti-
mated at 1000, as against $500 a
week ago and 2,035 the correspond
ing day a year ago. General tone to
the cattle deal in all branches was

servative estimates values on both
killers and stockers are now right at
soc higher than at the close of last
week.
Packers and shippers paid a q
10c advance on hogs, top landing at
$1,000, with the bulk of sales from
$1560 a 415.S0.
Early transaction in the sheep di-
vision showed continuation of

SEEKS FAVOR With DENMARK
Kaiser Trying to Get Hold On Country
With Land and Money.

London, Oct. 25.-Details have
reached London of German plan TO
OBTAIN ascendancy after the war in
Denmark by ceding TO Denmark a
small strip of former Danish territory
In North Schleswig, in return for "a
large sum OF money and presumably
also certain economic and commercial
concessions.
1t is suggested by the Danish Lib
eral Hovedstaden that the sum OF
money involved is that which Denmark
received from the United States as
payment for the Danish West Indies.
This newspaper strongly denounces
the German proposal, declaring that
Germany expects to get not only
money but a hold on Denmark which
would make Denmark economically
and nationally a dependency of Ger
many.

ion now" he said, adding that he had
been in the fun since Mons" my
