Thouuht Cakes tainted.

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making a
special effort to bake a prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done,
but when removed from the stove it
fell fiat and had a sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedi-
ately mixed in haste and little Vir-
ginias eyes grew large as she lis
tened to her mother la&lenting over the
first sad cake that had fallen. The sec
ond baking proved the same as the
first, but the third attempt resulted in
veritable triumph. Virginia, how
ever, could not rally from the morn
ing's tragedy, and when her aunt came
over she exclaimed in great excite
ment: "Oh, auntie, mother made three
cakes and two Of 'em tainted"

Washington, Jan. 22-President
Wilson issued a statement characteriZ-
ing as an astonishing and unjustifia-
BILE distortion of the truth" assertions
of Senator Chamberlain In a New York
speech Saturday concerning inefficiency
of war preparations.
Wilson Issues Statement.
The following statement was issued
from the White House:
Senator Chamberlain's statement
as to the present inaction and effective
ness Of the government is an astOnish-
ing and absolutely unjustifiable distor-
ton of the truth.
"As matter of fact, the war depart
ment has performed a task Of unparal.
leled magnitude and difficulty with ex-
traordinary promptness and efficiency.
There has been delay and disappoint-
ment and partial miscarriage of plans.
all of which have been drawn into the
foreground and exaggerated by the in
vestigations which have ben progress
ing since congress assembled-inves-
LEGATIONS which drew Indispensable Of
fcials of the department constantly
away from their work and officers from
their commands and contributed 4
great deal to such delay and confusion
as had inevitably arisen.
Investigations Not Helpful.

been accomplished, these things. much

significant and no mistake has been
made which has been repeated. Moth
ing helpful or likely to speed or facili-
tate the war tasks Of the government
has come out of such criticism and in
vestigatiOn.
1.-THE legislative proposals I have
heard of would involve long additional
delays and turn our experience into
mere lost motion.
my association and constant con-
ference with the secretary of war have
taught me to regard him as one of the
known. The country will soon learn
whether he or his critics understand
the business in hand.
ITO add, as Senator Chamberlain
did, that there is inefiiciency in every
department and bureau of the govern
ment, is to show such ignorance of ac-
tual conditions as to make it impossi-
bic to attach any Importance to his
statement.

than out of any serious intention to
reform its practice"

PARTISAN ATTACK IN U. S.
SENATE STARTS WRANGLE
Stone Assaiis Roosevelt-Lodge and
Penrose Resent Charges Against
Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Repub-
lican and Democratic leaders clashed
their steel points in the senate in the
first and fiercest debate of the war.
Stone of Missouri precipitated the
conflict. He struck the first blow in
carefully prepared speech of great Bit
terness and vigor assailing Roosevelt
as the idol and spokesman of con-
spiracy to discredit the administration
and seize the government at the next
congressional election. He also ac-
cused many if not ALP the Republican
senators with abetting the conspiracy
and singled out Senator Penrose as an
example.
Senator Stone centered his attack
upon Colonel Roosevelt whom he
called my star witness"
"Of all men," he said Roosevelt Is
the most responsible for what he de-
nounces. He does his work cunningly.
In the front of his propaganda he
throws a deceptive political camou-
flage. I charge that Theodore RCose-
velt-whether willingly or out of sheer
madness, I don't KNOWS the. most
potent agent the kaiser has in Amer
lea"
Senator Stone also assailed Senator
Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania and
Chairman William r. Wilcox of the
Republican national committee, whom
he accused of leading the Republican
assault upon the war administra-
ton.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, de-
nounced Senator Stones speech as dis
tinctly political" He pointed out that

ALL BALTIC PROVINCES
Trotzky Asks Recess So That He Can
Lay Proposals Before Council of
Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates.

Petragrad, Jan. 25.-Russia must
give up Courland and all the Baltic
provinces, or the Germans will resume
military operations and occupy Reval
within week, the German delegation
at Brest-Litovsk told the Russian rep
reSentatives at the last session.
An adjournment was taken until
January % to permit the Russians to
consider the German terms.
The Russians put question to the
delegates of the central powers as to
what were their final peace terms.
Hoffman Delivers Ultimatum.
General Hoffman, one of the Ger
man delegates, replied by opening
map and pointing out the following
line which they insisted should consti
tute the future frontier of Russia:
From the shores of the gulf of Fin
land to the east of the Moon Sound
island to Walk, to the west of Minsk,
to Brest-Litovsk.
This completely eliminates Courland
and all the Baltic provinces.
The Russians asked the terms of
the central powers in regard to the
territory south of Brest-Litovsk. Gen
eral Hoffman replied that was a Ques-
ton which they would discuss only
with the Ukraine. M. Kameneff, a
member of the Russian delegation,
asked:
Suppose we do not agree to such
conditions. What are you going to
do?"
Threat to Occupy RevaI.
General Hoffman's answer is report
ed to have been:
within a week, then, we will 'oc-
cupy Reval."
The Russians then asked for re-
cess, which was granted reluctantly.
The Germans declared it was the
last pOstponement to which they would
consent.
The request was made by Leon
TrOtZky, head of the Russian delega
ton, who said he desired an opportu-
nifty to lay the German peace terms be-
fore the council of wOrkmens and sol
diers' delegates.

gar conservation program. It is ex-
pected that this conservation can be
affected by . voluntary rationing by
the people of the country in limiting
their use of sugar to not more than
three pounds per person per month,
and even to reduce consumption as
much below this as possible.
Mrs. Crosby says that all sugar
dealers have been furnished with cop
les Of regulations under which sales
are to be made and that these regula-
tionx are being rigidly enforced. How
ever, for the convenience Of those who
live at a distance and do their trading

gar for canning, the necessary cards
will be issued If they will write their
requests to her. In SO doing they will

Order that our Armies and

{ In response to numerous inquiries
as to why sugar rationing is necessary
Mrs. F. NJ. Crosby, food administra-
tor for this end of the county, has re-
quested the publication Of the follow
ing statement from the federal food
administration r's
A number Of beet sugar factories in
Europe have been lost as a result of
the recent German drive. These fac
tories have been dismantled and their
output, therefore, lost to the Allies
for the period of the war, regardless
Of what success the Allied armies may
have in recapturing the territory
where these factories are located. A
shortage in crops in certain countries
have developed, due to labor difficult
ties and other conditions, and con-
siderable amount of sugar has been
lost: thru sinking by submarines. It
has been necessary to withdraw con-
siderable shipping which heretofore
has been used for transportation of
sugar, in order to transport our armies
overseas and more adequately to sup
ply our army, as well as those Of the
Allies.
All of these conditions have made it

HUSS ACCUSED OF
BOARDING FLOUR
Federal Secret Service Men Find
Eight Sacks of Flour at Home
of Well Known Rancher

August Huss, one of the well known
ranchers of the Finley district, was
placed under $500 bonds by u. S. Com
missioner E. w. Trenbath Tuesday and
ordered to appear before the federal
court on charge of having violated
the federal food regulations.
Several weeks ago B. J. Wells, fed
eral secret service agent, in company
with E. L. Baxter, deputy sheriff,
called at the Huss home and confis-
Gated four gunnysacks of flour, each
containing two 49-pound sacks Of
flour. No action was taken against
the offenders, however, until Tuesday
when Deputy u. s. Marshal Thorp
served warrant on Mr.. and Mrs.
Huss and brought them before Mr..
Trenbath. Mr.. Huss was held under
$500 bonds and Mrs. Huss was released
on her own recognizance.

she displayed a partially used 49,
pound sack of flour and few pounds
Of substitutes, "this is all the flour
that we have" as - - II >.
"We went to the Huss home with
full knowledge Of the location Of the
cache. But upon approaching Mrs.
Huss we intimated nothing of this.
We asked to search the house and she
consented, taking US on a tour thru
every room and closet, cupboard and
Granny. In the pantry we found the
few substitutes and remainder Of a
49-pound sack Of white flour, which
she declared emphatically several
times was all that she possessed
"We then asked her to call her hus-
band, who was working in the fields.
When he came said:
"'How do you reach the little eel
lar under the back porch?' = -
"Huss looked at us for minute
and without word led US to the porch.
With a chisel he unloosed the tacks
which held down a square of linoleum
underneath which was a trap door
leading into a small cellar, where we
found the gunnysacks."

Just what does the governments
work or fight order mean? The ans
wer to this question is awaited with
considerable interest by men of draft
age who are employed in various ca
pacities in tho city. A definite an
nouncement as to just how the new
law is to be interpreted is expected
soon flom the local draft board. In
the meantime selective service regis
trants whose employment may not be
considered necessary are endeavoring
to get in touch with new jobs.
The local board met the first of the
week with the legal advisory board
when a number of Prosser young men
were called before 5hel board and Civ
en- hearing. The cases considered
were typical Of the different kinds OF
employment and are toybe used as
basis upon which the local board will
make its: work or fight rules. The
board did not attempt to make definite
findings, in any particular case, but
will very soon mako one general rul-
ing to cover every case.
It is understood that managers, as
sistant managers and heads of de-
par.ments will be allowed exemption,
but that accountants, cashiers, clerks,
deliverymen and truck drivers will be
considered as employed at non-produc-
tive labor and will be required to seek
other employment or be inducted into
the military service.
