- burg Fire.

Warrensburg. Mo-, March 1.-The
Quarry City stock barns, of this city,
owned by S. y. Sanders. was burned
this morning about 10 o'clock. Five

it was impossible to get them out.
The most valuable OF the horses was

won first for three straight years at
the Missouri State Fair in the breed
ing class and second in the s., 500 sad
die horse class. His sire was the ia

for sleeping on post and two for dis
regarding orders, will not be shot. 1t

RUSSIA CAN'T HELP SUPPLY
GERMANS
Not More Than Ten Million Bushels
of Grain is Available for Teuton
Use,

Washington, March I5.-Germany S
military and political victories in Rus
sia will give her little economic bene-
fit Immediately, in the opinion of
American officials familiar with the
resources of the Slav territory, al
though it is taken for granted Ger
many will make the most of the op-
portllnity. y,
Not more than 100000 bushels
of grain is believed to be available in
eastern and southern Russia after the
decentralization of the past year which
has curtailed the production and in
creased waste. In October it is pos
sible that from 3o,ooo,ooo to 4oooo,ooo
bushels will be available for the spoil
ers from the new grain crop.
Perhaps more important than grain
will be the vast resources of the ST.
bcrian dairy farms which have been
developed by German capital and
which will begin to supply in June, the
fats for which Germany admittedly
has been suffering.
Semi-official reports of the capture
Of 100000 bushels of grain in Ru-
mania are ridiculed by officials here
on the strength of reports from
American Red Cross workers and
Others who have been in Rumania re-
Gently. They say there was no grain
to be bought in the open market and
that even when commandeered cars
were sent under guard to remote re-
gions. only limited quantities could
be obtained and those were subject to
pilfering by the needy population il
left unguarded for any time.
Russia has always been a country
to sell its grain rapidly after the har-
vest because there are few facilities
ior storage. After year of anarchy
in which the question of food con-
statly has been uppermost in the
minds OF a populace excited by sud-
den power and freedom, officials here
say they believe little stored grain
remains.
Supporting this belief are reports
that last years crops in Russia were
below normal. Production in the EN-
pire constantly has been greatest on
the large farms because the poor far
mcrs are without the capital and ma
chnerr to cultivate the ground effect
lively.

Washington March I6-Senator
Thomas of Colorado this afternoon
introduced a joint resolution in the
senate to tear down the bronze
statute of Frederick the Great in
