Improvements directed on unpatented
homesteads. Mr.. Stroud of Roosevelt
had previously introduced bill con-
tanning practically the same provision
and he objected to taking up the later
measure in this matter in preference
to his own His objections were not
needed, however, and the bill went
through with only three dissenting
votes.
The senate session as usual was un-
eventful, a parliamentary tangle over
the direction to be given Senator
Mersfelders bill to require written
contracts between public school teach
ers and boards of education being the
principal feature of the afternoon.
The substitute was finally placed on
the calendar for third reading.

brains. Mrs. Vosbrink asserted, but
youth, beauty and figure, are the chief
requirements of many principals.
Mrs. Voshrnk was urging the cause
of teacher whose mental abilities
were excellent, but who, she said,
might be deficient in marks for
pulchritude.
This teacher, Mrs. Vosbrink went
on, has never been able to catch the
fancy of a principal and has, there
fore, been for years employed only as
a substitute.
The board decided to investigate
Mrs. Vosbrink's allegations.

BITTER COLD IS
REPORTED FROM
THE WAR FRONTS
Heavy Freezes Following Big
Shows Are Helping Rather
Than Hindering Fightingi
Big Offensive Soon,
nv uens,Ho JOURNAL SPECIAL luAssp wisxi

Berlin. Jan. % (by Wireless to Say
Vile, Jan. 23.)--Heavy snowfalls
followed by bitingly cold wealth
er on all the battle fronts, have
helped rather than hindered dur
ing the fighting. During the
last forty-eight hours, the wealth
er man has seemingly been entirely
impartial, for the cold snow which in
the northeast has enabled the Rus
SLAMS to cross the swamps between
Riga and Dvinsk, also made it possi-
BILE for the Germans in Rumania to
Galatz, which ordinarily is
protected by swamps.
Intense Cold in West.
In the west, intensely cold weather
has been accompanied only partly by
a clear atmosphere, enabling the fly
ers to resume their activity. Neither
side, however, has been specially ia
vored. Artillery duels have increased
at frequent intervals all along the line
from, the coast to the Swiss border.
Exceptionally active patrolling by
the entente forces has not prevented
the Germans from discovering that
the French recently have withdrawn
to large extent, and that they have
been replaced by British troops on the
Somme front, presumably in order to
give the French divisions an oppor-
tunity to rest in preparation for gil
gantic test of strength which is ex-
pected by every one at the first fa-
opportunity.
Great Offensive Ahead.
The impression from a visit to any
part of the front is that both sides ex-
pect an unprecedented offensive be-
fore long and that the present artil-
lery and patrol activity to which the
is now limited, is more or
less kind of jockeying for the start,
in order to take the initiative.
Reports of tremendous losses on the
coast are denied. and it is stated tina;
one ordinary German division suf-
fered losses of only 500 men in cap
turing more than 500 Russian off,
GERS and $4,000 soldiers.

by Superior Numbers of
English Officers and Sailors,
He Would Have Sunk Ship,

Berlin, Jan. 23 (by Wireless to Say
e)-Details OF the voyage of the
British steamer Yarrowdale, captured
by the German commerce raider in
the south Atlantic and brought into
Swinemuende, were disclosed today by
Naval Lieutenant Badewitz, command
er of the German prize crew, which
brought her into port, in an interview
with representative of the Overseas
News agency Reporting the inter-
view, the agency says:
Lieutenant Badewitz, who gives
the impression of being a true sailor,
told the story of his voyage in a mod
est way making light of his own part
In it. He was asked how he succeed
ed in bringing the Yarrowdale through
the north Atlantic and the blockade
into the North sea with crew Of only
sixteen men, and several hundred hos
tile persons aboard. He replied
No Trouble With Prisoners
For such action you need only to
exercise GOODNESS and determined.

have to deal with Englishmen. In ad-

questioned as to how he held his
oddly mingled members Of the prison.
|er crews under discipline, Lieutenant
Badewitz said:
1.-The discipline was first rate.
Whenever the order to go below was
issued, the whole crowd of prisoners
hurried to the lower decks, running
like hares.
Lieutenant Badewitz said he and
the sixteen men of his crew never left
the bridge of the Yarrowdale, and all
preparations were made to sink the
ship at moments notice. without
said, knew that he would have sunk
the vessel in event of a mutiny or a
revolt
Captured Captains Sensible.
''The captured captains were very
sensible and did much to hold their
men in check. The prisoners thought
they could count upon touching at a
Norwegian port. Among them were
six members of the British navy of
whom three belonged to an English
armed merchantmen, on board which
they had served as gunners.
when the Yarrowdale was riding
at anchor south of Island Haven, in
the sound, on account of the fog, one
British naval gunner and one civilian
jumped overheard to swim ashore but
no sooner felt the cold water than
they began to cry for help. They
were rescued.
Before the war, Lieutenant Bade-
WITT was employed in the merchant
service. He lives at Kiel''

another resolution to advise the sec

cations from abroad with reference to
the presidents peace note before it
was made public here. The request
was in Keeping with a motion adopted
by the rules committee today.
The committee, advised by tolo-
phone of the action taken by tte
board of governors at their SECOND
meeting expressed satisfaction.
Notwithstanding the action of the
board, doubt still exists in some quar-
ters as TO whether the members Will
furnish the desired information
Whether the board would have power
to punish members who failed to com
ply is a moot question. When this
point was raised this afternoon by MI

Two Witnesses Called.
Mr. Noble and Samuel f. STREET,
chairman of the New York stock ex-
change clearing house committee
were the only witnesses examined to-
day. They We're questioned by Mr.
Whipple as to the power of expert
enced speculative cliques to manipu-
late the market by short selling at
the expense of the public" and to
take advantage Of "unfavorable news"
in order to depress prices and cover
at profit. Short sale speeulatnrs
are alleged to have been the leak
benefciaries.
The attorney elected the informa-
ton that 1t was the practice of
brokers with the consent of their GUS
toners, to loan stocks bought on mar
gin to other brokers, who, in turn,
used them for short sale" transac-
tions. Thus, it was explained, the
stock of the customers who hoped to
profit by rising market could be-
come a weapon in the hands Of the
'short" sale speculator, who hopes for
a falling market.
Defends Short Selling.
Mr.. STREET defended short selling
as u necessary requisite to free
market and said that experience in
Germany and France had shown 1t
was inadvisable for economic reasons
TO dispense with it. He conceded.
however, that If short" selling should
be abolished, there would not be so
much speculation.
THE short sale, then" remarked
Mr.. Whipple, "is the foundation OF
speculation ?"
Il would not say that" Mr.. STREET
replied. Il meant that there would
not be such volume of speculation,
and, incidentally, the speculative risk
would be greater"
Turning to Mr.. Mobiles personal
views of the ethics of the market. Mr..
Whipple inquired diligently in many
different forms If he considered
short" sale operations designed to
accentuate unfavorable news in order
to depress prices and take profits
were immoral The witness finally
conceded he saw no improperly in
these operations, but in resuming the
stand at his own request later in the
day, amended his answer. He said he
had misunderstood the tenor of Nj
Whipple's question and explained that
he did not approve of concerted ac-
ton or conspiracy to depress the mar.
ket artificially."

An European countries are suner-

tho specific case OF Germany. when
the war diet rules were promulgated

Very shortly the rigors OF war diet
will soon tell m the United Kingdom.
At the least "A war diet means more
