Tea drinking seems to have orig
mated in China; and the Chinese. ac-
cording to Prof. King, in his Farmers
of Forty Centuries drank it first
as a sanitary measure, having found
that boiling their water saved them
from typhoid and afterward adding
tea leaves to make the boiled water
palatable. DIR. II. A. Gortner of the
University of Minnesota, writing in
Science, believes that this is not an
exact description of what happened,
but that the discovery of the efficacy
of tea as a typhoid preventive came
after its general adoption in China as
a pleasing drink.

GOVERNMENT MAY
SEIZE OIL LANDS
SENATOR PITTMAN OF NEVADA
WARNS WESTERN PEOPLE
NOT TO BE TOO SELFISH.

Denver, Colo, Jan. Ex-senator Pitt
man of Nevada, speaking yesterday 10
the American mining congress here
declared congress has no intention of
extending the leasing system to metal
liferous mining, and if the Pittman-
Walsh oil and coal land leasing bill be-
comes law, the leasing question, as far
as the west is concerned, would be
settled for years.
ION the contrary" the Nevada sena-
tor added, IF the pending legislation
which has already passed the senate
is defeated and the matter drifts on
as it has drifted for years, then it is
possible that congress, in desperation
and in need of resources, may take
hold of all Of the lands, metallferous
and non-metalliferous, and develop
them as government projects. This is
not drifting towards the leasing of
metalliferous mines, but it is the final
destination of a policy against the leas-
| ing of metalliferous mines"
Senator Pittman said the oil leasing
bill represents the maximum of what
can be expected from the senate, and ad-
. ulllleu Il lldIu uBul WOulu De necessary
to pass it in the house. He said citi-
zens Of western states maintained that
the public lands and all they contain
are held in trust and have always been
neld in trust for the people of the states.
Instead of belief in this principle becom-
ing stronger in congress. Senator Pitt
man declared it has received less sup
port from year to year and now at
least a majority in the senate opposes
the theory, on maintains that the pub
lie lands and the minerals and wealth
therein contained are the property of
all the people of the United States and
should be administered by all Of the
people Of the United States.
For that reason, Senator Pittman
urged the people Of the western states
to be unselfish in their demand for new
Legislation. "The insistence by enthu.
siasts and those having personal in.
terests to impose upon bill an amend.
ment that is obnoxious to the majority
is the surest method of defeating legis
lation" Senator Pittman said.

Austria on Trade for Food.
RUSSIANS ARE OUTRAGED.
German Demand for Territory Is Declared Monsrous-Ap

London, JAN 24.-The Russian government, according

by declaration of the German foreign secretary Dr. Won
Kuehlmann, the central powers not remove their
armies from the occupied regions until the usion of gen.

the yelled anneXatiOnist lust Of power

Continuing, the writer speaks Of the
rebellious tempers of the factory popu-
lation in the industry centers and adds
"No wonder" that fear is expressed
here and there that the people, who are
disgustod with the postponed suffrage
reforms, furious with the pan-Gormans
exhausted in body and fortune, and de-
prived of the hope of restoration of ma
tional and individual happiness, will it
self take the settlement Of its lot into
its own hands if any great military set
back is suffered The failure Of the
separate peace with Russia would also
give the signal for an incalculable re-
action at a moment when the nervous
strain is well nigh unbearable."
Saxon King Is RebulIed.
An incident in the Saxony lower
house on Monday, the Tyd correspond
ent says, is indicative of the popular
sentiment. The king Of SaXony recently
sent a telegram to the fatherland party
advocating a safety peace" This was
sharply censured by the socialists of the
chamber. The socialist newspaper
Frasdorf said that the king was badly
informed and badly advised by his min
isters, and declared that the people took
quite a different standpoint from the
fatherland party.
1t is such an atmosphere, if reports
quoted are accurate, that Chancellor
Won Hertlng meets the reichstag to
speak to his own countrymen and the
world. The newspaper supporters say
that the chancellor is in nowise shaken
by the recent political crisis, but on the
contrary he has the emperor's fun con
| fidence.
Important conferences are represent
cd to have been renewed Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday wherein Field Mar,
shall Won Hindenburg, General Won Lu
dendorff, Chancellor Won HertlinS and
DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann, secretary
Of foreign affairs, participated with the
emperor.

report from Washington that the
United States is prepared to make
generous loan to Ireland to obtain the
fullest measure of home rule, and Amer
lean capitalists are ready to invest like

London, Jan. 24--The impressions
conveyed in today's news dispatches
from Switzerland and Holland regard
ing the internal situation in Germany
on the eve of Chancellor Won Hertling's
expected address before the reichstag is
one Of discomfort among the masses,
suppressed by the triumphant hand Of
the military party,
Efforts Of the German censorship to
prevent public knowledge of the Aus
trian strikes and peace demands sue
ceeded for a time. but the news leaked
through gradually and Austrian events
seem to be widely known by German
workers. The Austrian hope that the
latter would follow their lead has not,
however, materialized, while German
newspapers, which ventured to hold out
a hand to the Austrian proletariat, have
been sternly repressed.
Nevertheless, according to the Posts
Amsterdam dispatch, the sentiment of
rebellion among German workmen, espe'
cially independent Socialists, is becom-
ing stronger. This is partly attributable
to the attitude of the German delegates
at the Brest Litovsk conference, which
caused widespread discomfort, as was
manifested by the tumultuous scenes at
numerous meetings Of the fatherland
party-the land-grabbing party.
Wooden Horse Is Brought In.

prints an article received through an in
direct channel from its correspondent
in Germany, in which he says that
"events at Brest Litovsk and President
Wilson'S new peace formula, which in
wide circles is considered suitable
basis for the regulation Of society Of the
future have prepared the ground for
the bolshevist tendency.
"It is recognized in editorial circles "
continues the writer, that the wooden
morse has been brought in at the Bresi

Food Administration Plans Forced Re

Miller to the Consumer-Details Not

Washington, Jan. 24.-To create a

allies, the food administration is consid.
ering plan Of forced reduction in flour
sales and all the way from the miller
to the consumer. Millers, Wholesalers.
retailers and bakers probably will be
required to hold their sales of flour
down to 10 per cent of the amount now
handled.
AS the allies are demanding from 75..
100000 to 1OOOOO,OOO more bushels of
wheat, the food administration has ar.
ranged to take over 30 per cent OF
Americas flour production, out of which
will be selected supplies for export.
Food administration officials believe
the United States can give Europe 90
OOOOO bushels of wheat made into
flour between now and the time the new
American crop comes in without en-.
dangering the American supply.
Details Of the plans have not been
fully worked out, but millers and deal
ers throughout the country have been
asked for their opinion as to the best
means Of reducing consumption, and
most of them believe that a reduction
in sales to the public is the best way.

WAR SUMMARY.

On the western front in France and
Belgium and on the Italian front
where the contending armies Of the
chief belligerents in the world war
have displayed little activity for some
time. official reports announce re-
sumption of hostiities of unusual activ-
itv for winter months. While the oper.
atoms mentioned in the statements
from the various army headquarters
are of little consequence from mill
tary view, yet the general extent of the
activity indicates that developments Of
considerable magnitude are in immedi-
ate prospect
Intensity of the artillery fire has
increased all along this front, and raid
ing parties and air fighting have been
resumed under more favorable condi-
tions. The success Of a German raid
on British trenches west of La Bassee
is announced by the British official
communication, which claims, however,
that another hostile party was dis
persed west of Villers Guislain.
In the Nieuport sector the French
war office reports capture Of ground
gained by the enemy in a raid Wednes.
day morning. The French statement
also says that the artillery is active in
the Chaume wood front, and in the sec.
tor of Hill S44, and claims the failure of
an enemy attack at the former place.
During the period from January II to
20, ten German airplanes were brought
down by the French.
More intense artillery firing between
the Adige and Brenta valleys is re-
ported in the Italian official statement
which also tells Of small engagements
on the right bank of the Piave and on
the southeastern slopes of Monte Spi
| nOncia.
