FEAR MILK FAMINE
FOLLOWING STORM
Chicago Also Alarmed Over

Shovel Snow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 14.IAn army of
workers estimated at moro than 100000.
including $4,000 schoolboys, today re-
sumed the attack on the great snow
drifts which for forty-eight hours tied
UP. railroad traffic in this city and vi
cinity and caused what the health au-
thorities termed an alarming shortage
Of fuel and milk.
AS an emergency measure the public
schools of the city did not open today,
the board Of education having decided
that the boys could render valuable
service in clearing away the snow from
the streets so that vehicles would be
able to make deliveries in the resi-
Dental district.
Limited Service Resumed.
Every one of the twenty-seven steam
railroads entering Chicago resumed
limited service today. but officials said
it would be at least two days before
anything like normal passenger sched-
ules could be established and perhaps
a week would elapse before movement
of freight trains could be put back on
the same basis as before the storm.
Every ton OF coal in the railroad
yards was commandeered by County
Fuel Administrator Raymond E. Dur
ham, and orders were given to the
railroads to divert coal on the tracks
to the most available yard or steam
track. Tho union stockyards today
began to emerge from the huge piles
Of snow that covered the pens and the
switching tracks within the stock
yards area Stock trains started un-
loading with a semblance OF usual
activity. but numbers of cattle and
hogs were found frozen in the cars.
Suburbanites Are Marooned.
Thousands of suburbanites were COM
PEELED to spend another night in hotels
because of the abandonment of sub
urban train service. Each of the large
central hotels reported that it had
turned away many, while outlying
hotels available to the elevated lines
reported they had been filled to capac-
ity.
AS showing the severity of the bliz-
zard railroad officials pointed out that
a number of passenger trains due here
last Friday night did not arrive until
this morning.
Every effort would be made, railroad
said, to rush through coal
and milk trains today.

HUNT FOR MONEY
FROM CAMP BANK
Loot Obtained by, Capt. Whis-
Ter Still Unfound-DetaiIs of
the Robbery.
By the Associated Press.


| CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, January a.
Search for the canvas sack containing
| the money Capt. Lewis r. Whistler is
supposed to have obtained when he
robbedthe Army bank here Friday night
and killed four men with an ak and
seriously wounded a fifth continued
today with the authorities working
upon the theory that the Army officer,
who killed himself with an Army rife
a few hours after the murders were
discovered, may have had an accom-
plice who fled from the camp in a
motor car after the money had been
intrusted to him.
Just how much Capt. Whistler obtain
ed was still a matter of conjecture
early today, and it was said by officials
that it might be several days before
the exact amount could be determined.
Estimates of the missing money varied
from S65,000 to $4,000. Kearney Wor-
nall of Kansas City. cashier of the
bank, who was the only survivor of
the tragedy, continued to improve to-
day. and it was believed by the attend
ing physicians that he was practically
out of danger. Wornall identified the
body of the dead Army officer as the
man who had robbed the bank and
committed the murders.

Many Narrow Escapes From Death.

While in the islands the regiment
engaged in some of the bIoodiest Of
the Moro fights, and Col. Bullard had
many narrow escapes from death,
These engagements against the then
hostile Moros were the same in which
Gen. Pershing first gained fame as a
soldier.
In July, 1902, Gen. Billiard was made
governor of the Lance Moros, then the
most treacherous of all the Moro tribes.
They lived in one of the most mac
cessible parts of the archipelago. and
for two years Bullard struggled with
them. In the end he was their master
and he became one of the most popular
governors that tribe has had.
During the border mobilization of
1912 Gen. Bullard was the colonel in
command of the 26th United States In
fantry. Subsequently he commanded a
brigade at Texas City. In June last
President Wilson promoted Col Bullard
to brigadier general, and, August 5, to
major general.

ever, Believe He Will Recover.

Of the post at Fort Myer, who was also
commandant of the two sessions OF the
training camp for reserve officers at
Fort Myer, is in Walter Reed Hospital
in a serious condition.
Col. Fenton was taken to the hospital

Lieut.. Peters, who is in charge of the

that Col Fenton has not been in the
hospital long enough to show his real
condition. Lieut.. Peters. however, be-
lieves that the odds are in favor OF
Col. Fenton's recovery.
Charged to Overwork at Camps.
Overwork in connection with the two
officers training camps at Fort Myer
and close application to his duties as
commandant of the Army post across
the Potomac, is said by Col Fenton's
friends to be at least partly respon-
sible for his present critical illness.
Col Fenton's work with the first Off
GERS training camp at Fort Myer, eX-
tending from last May to August. at
tracted attention all over the country,
and because of the high-class of work
done at the, training camp it became
known as "the camp of pep and punch
Army officers from the allied countries
were frequent visitors at the camp, and

with which civilian brains were being
made into military brains.
Col. Fenton was given high praise Tor
his work by Secretary Baker. and Pres
ident Wilson attended both the first
and second graduations, and compli-
mented the commandant on the show
ing of the men. It is understood that
Col. Fenton has been booked for pro-
motion to be brigadier general.

according TO the seed reporting service

the carry-over on July L. 1918, amount
ed TO about 100000 pounds more
than that of the year before and So
100000 pounds more than that OF two

IS thought, will offset the greatly re

from 12,767, $50 pounds Is 8,S68,24l

been the largest exporter of timothy
seed and the falling off in exports, it

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMYIN FRANCE
June 2l.-Private James a. Dbnahue
OF Buffalo turned up Tuesday among his
comrades OF an American unit holding
the line west of Chateau Thierry after
nine days absence. He told the most
amazing story of his capture by the
Germans and subsequent escape, and
made this statement:
"One evening I was helping the Ger
mans cut brush when three men
in American uniforms walked up to the
German officer and talked with him.
Then seven men in French uni
forms walked UP and talked with the
same officer. They also turned and
walked back to their lines. figured
at the time that / was eight or nine
kilometers behind the fighting ground"
The examining officer OF the American
intelligence section then asked: What
did these men, German spies in Amer.
lean and French uniforms. do when they
reported? Did they salute or did they
merely come up to the German officer.

Donahue replied: They would jus,

salute"
Donahue asserts he stunned his sem
try with a pick handle he found on the
ground and got away. He appears to be
suffering from lack OF food and was
almost incoherent when he rejoined our
troops near Belleau. He said he had
been brutally booted and starved by the
Germans. His statements are being
carefully Investigated.
4 German officer prisoner we have
taken says Germany is now using her
criminals in the ranks upon the west
front and that these released criminals
form 20 per cent. of the storming bat
talions. 10 per cent. of the infantry and
per cent of the artillery.
Another severe criticism against the
Germans is that certain aviators. slightly

LONDON. June cl.--The Austrian eco-
homie situation is not as had as the
enemy would have us believe. is the Gist
of a statement made to-day by Lord
Robert Cecil spokesman for the British
Foreign Orfice. to the correspondent of
THE SrS. He added
Undoubtedly there are a great deal OF
agitation and considerable unrest in Aus
tria at present. although personally !
believe It is greatly exaggerated. 1t has
been obvious that the Germans and Aus
trians have made a habit of always ad-
vertising the fact when economic con-
ditions in their respective countries have
been bad. their idea being, evidently. to
lull the enemy to sleep. Thus they
thought they would take us unprepared.
ITO a certain degree this has not been
without effect In Great Britain. At the
time Of the last campaign Of this nature
there was more pacltist talk in England
than ever before. The condition Of Aus
tria may be bad-we have good reason
to know that it is bad-but the mere
fact that their newspapers which are
much more under control than ours, give
so much publicity to the fact and also
that matter OF such nature could be
published only with the fun consent OF
the Government gives me very strong
reason to doubt their veracity.
The German peace offensive has not
made any great advance vet, as the
enemy is still devoting all his attention
to battle.
The imperial conference being held
in London is most valuable from many
British viewpoints and also from those
of tine Allies.
Later they will discuss economic
conditions II is very essential that we
should all discuss that subject If We
ever need any league of nations II must
be based upon economic weapons. We
shall never get any results from such a
league withou; economic pressure
