WAR SUMMARY.

Control of the destinies Of the Ger
man empire. press dispatches from neu-
tral countries agree, is passing into the
hands Of the militarists. or the leaders
who want to hold what has been gained
by might and the sword. Chancellor
Won Hertlng, the aged incumbent OF
the chief political office, again is re-
ported i'll and preparing to resign, while
the militarists and pan Germans are
demanding the dismissal Of Or. Won
Kuehlmann, the foreign secretary, who
has headed the peace delegates to Brest
Litovsk.
In connection with the reported i'll
ness Of the imperial chancellor, it is
reported from Berlin that Count Won
Hertlings address before the main COM
mittee of the reiChstag has been post.
poned for several days. It was said
previously that the chancellor would
answer the recent war aims statements
of President Wilson ana Premier Lloyd
George before the main committee on
Wednesday.
Coupled with these reports is the
fact that the German emperor and tho
crown prince have been holding con-
ferences with the political and mill
tary leaders. 1t is reported also that
the German ministers to Denmark and
Holland have arrived unexpectedly in
Berlin. Indications are that the pres
ent turmoil within the German ruling
class will result in the acceptance OF
firm policy, either favoring the mill.
tarists, or the more peaceful element,
with the probability that the pan-Ger.
mans will be victorious.
The socialist Vorwaerts believes a
military dictatorship is in the making.
No explanation has been vouchsafed
by either the Germans or the Russians
as to the reasons behind the tempo
rary halt in the peace negotiations,
Nor has it been announced officially
why the conferences, if continued, ara
to be resumed at Warsaw. A Bavarian
newspaper says Egyptian darkness en-.
shrouds" Germanys peace terms.
The winter idleness on the western
and Italian fronts has not been broken
by large operations. Raids and patro
engagements occur here and there AnC
the artillery fire breaks into violehc,
at various points now and then, pu
there is hardly anything in the ofhcia
statements to indicate that Germany

LANSING THE MAN
WHO UNCOVERED
CAILLAUX PLOT
THIS is REPORT FROM PARIS, But
SECRETARY OF STATE
WILL NOT TALK.
EX- PREMIER IS ARRESTED
Was in Argentina in 1915, and Through
Count Won LuXburg, Notorious and
Now DiScredited German Diplomat,
CSiIlaux Dealt Direct With Berlin.

Paris, Jan. 15.-The arrest yesterday
Of former Premier Caillaux was due
principally to cablegram from Secre.
tary Lansing at Washington, saying
that in 1915 NJ. Caillaux had been in
communication with the Berlin foreign
office.
Secretary Lansings cablegram stated
that American representatives. at
Beunos Aires had been able to estab.
lish that NJ. Caillaux during his visit to
Argentina in 1915, had been in com.
munication with the Berlin foreign Of.
fice through Count Won LuXburg then
German minister to Argentina, with the
object of concluding peace with Ger
many at any price, so as to permit the
resumption Of business.
1t is understood this evidence will be
published in America Immediately.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-01-15

Washington, Jan. 15.-InasmuCh as
the Caillaux case is in judicial state
the United States will not publish any
documents upon it which have not been
arranged for in advance with the
French government So far as can
be learned, no such arrangements had
been perfected today, but the dispatch
and many others undoubtedly win be
given out il France requests it.
This is the first hint that the Lux
burg correspondence contained any
thing pertaining to the CaillauX case.
The disclosure aroused speculation as
to how many other International bomb
shells might be contained in the tele
grams OF Germany's minister to Buenos
Aires
The disclosures made so far by the
state department, it is known have not
exhausted the supply Of captured tele-
grams The full nature of the reserve
is a mystery.
The investigation Of the Italian con.
gress Of former Premier CaillauX, who
was arrested yesterday, is said by the
Matin to have resulted in the disCOv-
cry Of military and political papers in
the safe of the bank at Florence which
was rented under the maiden name of
Madame Caillaux and used by the for
mer premier during his visit to Italy
in December, 1916.
NJ. Caillaux sailed for South America
in November, 1914, going first to Brazil
and then to Argentina. Something OF
mystery was made Of his trip. The
general explanation was that he had
been entrusted with an economic mis-
sion, but It was reported that the French
governments real purpose was to bring
about his removal from France on ac
count of the feeling against him in Ger
tain quarters. Later he made a visit tc
The Hague, which attracted attention
because of the presence there at the
same time Of members Of the German
reichstag. Shortly afterward came hi.
trip TO Rome.

FLOUR AND SUGAR ADS CUT
OUT BY PATRIOTIC GR0CERS


Norman, Okla, Jan. 15.-The food ad-
ministration has received many letters
from patriotic grocers in all parts Of
the state who have complied with the
request of the food administration not
to advertise flour and sugar These
grocers are aiding the movement to
substitute other foods for -four and
sugar that must be shipped to our allies
and our soldiers,
The food administration urges the
grocers to advertise literally the sub.
stitutes not only for -four and sugar but
for beef and pork also. 1t is suggested
that recipes may be inserted, which will
give novelty to the advertisements. by
this method the amount Of substituting
will be increased and the work Of con
serving the necessary foods will be car
ried out.
Thousands Of copies Of the recipes
that may be prohtably used have beer
prepared by the food administration.

WOUND OVERTHROW BOLsHEvIKI

London, Jan. 15.-Anti-bolshevill par.
ties in Russia, according to n dispatch
to the Daily News from Petrograd are
using the creation OF a volunteer army
by the bolsheyk as the basis Of an
energetic agitation to turn the Petro.
grad garrison against the Lenine gov.
ornment.
Efforts also are being made to start
street demonstrations in favor OF the
constituent assembly. If the efforts are
successful, the dispatch adds. the result
will be anarchy. than which the Ger
mans could wish nothing better.
The constituent assembly is to meet
tomorrow. 1t seems probable that it
will contain a majority against the
bolshevlti, and win try to replace them
! by another government. Such gov.
ernment, the Daily News correspondent
says would be infinitely less dangerous
as an antagonist of Germany than the
present one.

cmy aliens were included in the basis
for the first draft and there was much
complaint Heavy enemy alien popula-
tions in some congested districts forced
Americans to army duty regardless of
exemption claims, to make up district
Quotas.
The bill to permit troops to go to
agricultural work merely would author
ile the secretary Of war to furlough
men for civilian duty. 1t is known
however, that the war department in.
tends to use the authority principally
to provide men for harvest time and
other agricultural work vital to the food
supply.
Insurance Policies.
To facilitate collection OF private in
surance policies held by troops, another
bill would require private insurance
companies to accept the official army
record as proof Of death OF men among
the army insured. 1t is designed to

OF death. In case OF payment 10y in

named number Of cities from
which 10 choose eight clubs for such
a league aEler a Caretul study OF the
geographic and economic conditions

conclusion that the following cities
including South Bend, could support
a very high brand OF ball that would
meet with all requirements: Terre

probably Richmond. Ind, Peoria

The baseball fans in and abou.
Peoria are very anxious that baseball

is the proper time TO start action on
the subject. II IS reasonably certain
that South Bend, with a team repre-
senting the city that would prov
creditable. will generously support
a team that can hold its own I'm
either OF the two leagues. Those who
decide 70 take hold OF the PROPOSE
