HUGH PLANTS
SHUT DOWN

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The hugh pack
ing plants of Armour & Co. and Swift
& Co. were shut down today because.
of the inability to obtain coal. The
employees were armed with shovels
and set towork clearing the railroad
tracks entering the stockyards of
snow. Hundreds of cattle and hogs
are reported to have persisted on stock
cars because the railroads were unable
to move them.
Attack Snow Drifts.
An army of workers estimated at
more than 100000, including some CO.,
900 school boys, today resumed the at
tack on the great snow drifts which
for forty-eight hours tied up railroads
in this city and vicinity and caused
what the health authorities termed an
alarming shortage of fuel and milk.
Every n of the .twenty-seven
steam railroads entering Chicago re-
sumed limited service today, but Of
fcials said it would be at least two
days before normal passenger sched-
ules could be established, and perhaps
a week before trains could be put back
on the same basis as before the storm.

FURNISH SEED
MILLION DOLLARS WORTH WILL
BE HELD TILL SPRING FOR
NORTH DAKOTA AND MON
TANA.

Bozeman, Mont, Jan. 15.-The u.
S. government will purchase through
money appropriated by congress, ap-
proximately one million dollars worth
of seed, to be held until spring, when
it will be sold for cash to farmers of
Montana, North Dakota and Texas ac-
scording to a statement made here by
Professor F. S. Cooley, of the Mon
1tant State College, who has returned
from a conference at Washington with
representative states affected by the
'drouth of last season. He said:
"The seed will be sold at cost, for
cash, to those who require it. It will
be seen that this government seed
supply does not contemplate the f.
znancing Of seed purchased by farmers.
1t will, however, save the profits
charged by dealers and the freight o,.t
and back on seed kept within the
state" Prof. Cooley's statement said
ut should be distinctly understood
that this seed is to be sold for cash
and that purchasers will have to Fl.
nance their seed buying without fed.
era aid"
Previous reports, Prof. Cooley said
had been to the effect that the gov.
eminent would advance the money tt
purchase the seed to the farmers, VIII
would repay it out Of tie earnings
from next ~year'scrops.

NEED Of MORE FIGHTING
MEN FACED BY LONDON
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 27-Commenting on
the Flanders battle in serious tone. the
morning newspapers contend that the
situation imposes upon Great Britain
the necessity of putting forth tho ut
most effort. especially OF furnishing
more men to supply the wastage in the
ceaseless fighting.
I'VE are faced with q crisis more
perilous and momentous than any that
has hitherto arisen. even in this ap-
palling war" writes the military cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph.
Possession of the channel ports by
the enemy would make our task on land
and sea infinitely more intricate and
costly"
The Daily News. in an editorial. says
the situation has changed seriously for
the worse as a result of the fighting OF
the past two days. and that the Ger
man drive toward the channel Is a
matter of serious concern. Neverthe-
less. it regards the situation as in no
wise yet stabilized and says that II the
Germans mean to break through they
must do it quickly before American re-
Inducements finally turn the tide.

KENNEL but the tenure would be cost

be found possible to dislodge the en-.
envy, as at Villers- Bretonneux. Other
wise. it says. further withdrawal Of
the Ypres line may be desirable. The
Chronicle contends; however, that the
present value Of Ypres is only sec

The Daily Mail says It would be folly
to minimize the success tho enemy has
achieved. and If the loss Of KENNEL
should prove permanent the difficulty in
holding Ypres would be increased ma
lteria1ly. It concludes by urging, the ne
cessity Of maintaining the supply of

WHO STARTED THE BIG WAR?
MORE LIGHT ON THE QUESTION
Papers Found Showing That Germany Was
Studying, Early in 1914, Mexico's Way
of Blowing Up Railroads.

Repeated declarations of the German
emperor. Hindenburg and Ludendorn
that the war was forced upon Ger

attach particular interest to certain
papers taken from Capt. Won Papen,
late military attache at Washington.
Among the papers. which have been
published by the British government
IN white book. appears a letter from
r. Won Wild of the German war min
istry, at Berlin, to Capt. Won Papen,
seeking Information regarding the best
means of blowing up railroad trains
"in the event of a European war;" The
significant point is that this letter
months before the outbreak Of war.
This letter says:
Hun Studies in Mexico.
According to newspaper reports,
several railway trains were blown up
by revolutionaries during troubles in
Mexico. In order to form an opinion
whether, in the event Of a European
war. explosions of this kind would
have to be reckoned with. it is re-
queSted that, if possible, Information
should be obtained as to how these
attacks have been carried out. Were
mines and explosives placed on lines
which were guarded, or were the at
tacks carried out on the train by ig-
hitting a charge Of dynamite by the
employment of Internal machines"'
Capt. Won Papen, replying from Mex
leo. where it is now known that he was
industriously planting the seeds of
German propaganda and establishing
connections for Germany to use in the
event that she should make war upon
the United States. did not regard the
operations of the Mexican revolution
aries as Of any particular value. For
four months later he wrote from Mex
