LANDS STOPS PACKERS' PROBE
 UNDER NEW LAW

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Search of the se- cret letter files of Henry Vaeder, gen. eral counsel for Swift & Company, for documents sought in the investigation of the packers by the federal commis- sion, were halted today by tempor- ary stay order, issued by Federal Judge K. M. Landis.
 The order stopped the examination of the files begun several hours ear Her by Francis J. Heney, attorney for the federal trade commission, on au- thority of search warrant issued by Judge Landis under the provisions of the espionage act.
 The affidavit on which the search warrant was issued charges, among other things, that the documents sought in Veeder's vaults had been used in the commission of certain fel- onies to control and fix prices of meat, vegetables, etc.; that there had been conspiracy in cross entries in the books, and that the Swift, Morris, Ar mour, Wilson and Cudahy companies had entered into combination to sub- init bids for government contracts.
 Federal officials pointed out tonight that the sustaining of the stay order would affect every activity of the gov ermnent under the espionage act.

NOR WAY REFUSES U. s.
 TRADE BOARD REQUEST

Christiania, Norway. Feb. 5.-Nor- ways reply to the American war trade board regarding supplies from the United States to Norway, publish ed today, emphasizes the firm resolve of the Norwegian people and the gov ernment to remain neutral.
 , Norway, in her commercial policy, cannot break with one bellingerent," the heply says, without imperilling her general neutrality"
 The newspapers commenting on Norway's reply, including the gov ernment organ, display anxiety to meet the United States amicably. This is in great contrast to previous articles in these papers. The feeling in political circles is hopeful that a compromise will be reached.

In Germany, according 10 the lat est advices, the strike situation has about died out, altno <lacortont is said still to exist This feeling has extended even to tao troops in Flanders, who asserled to have in cited Belgian workmcn to strike.
 Seeming evidence that the paaye negotiations at BreSt-I itott k are el- ded for the moment, or ttat they are proceeding without the attcDaance of some of the chief delegates of the Teutonic allies, lies in the fact that a conference took place in Berlin Mon.- day between German emperor and the crown prince and Bulgarian premier, Count Cznernin, Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, and the Turkish grand vizier. That mighty questions were to be solved is also nlindicated by the fact that after the conference the emperor presided ove1 a crown council.

| Associated Press War Summary.) From the North Sea to the Swiss frontier the military activity daily seems to be growing in intensity, and 1t may be fair to assume that in the not distant future some of the big bat ties that have been forecast will break. The American, British and French arr mics have been taking hacks at the German lines, either by fairly strong patrol attacks, or by bombardments, while In turn the Ieutous have been giving considerable attention on var ious sectors to their enemies From the American viewpoint, a rather successful maneuver by the Americans OH their sector is of the greatest interest. As on last Saturday. the Americans have again nipped in the bud an impendinq surprise attack on their trenches, and taught the Ger mans q salutary lesson with their ar- tlllery. In the German trenches the Teutons were awaiting the word to go over the top for an attack. when the Americans opened a heavy fire on the position. Heavy casualties are believ- ed to have been inflicted on the Teu- tons, and considerable damage was done b ythe seventy-hves to the Ger man trenches, due to the accuracy of aim of the American gunnars, the Ger maas have not been able to reoccupv the trenches and dugouts battered by the American fire Saturday, and have been forced to build another line of trenches at that particular point.
 Germans Attack French Front.
 Next in importance to the operation on the American front, have been at tacks by the Germans against the French in the Aisne region and north of Verdun. The French war office as- serts that the attacks north of the Asne were repulsed, but the German war office claims that at Baucourt Baden stormin" troops pushed far into the French front innicting heavy cas- ualties, and returned to their own lines with prosoners.
 The British have carried out suc-, cessful raids apainst the Teutons southwest of Armentierres, and in the vicinity of Ypres- -Staaden railway, where many of the enemy were killed and others captured
 Allies Bring Down Planes.
