RUSSIA PUZZLES THE HUNS
Berlin Papers Unable to See That
Central Powers Have Gained
by Separate Peace Pact

Amsterdam, Feb. 1.-THE German
press appears quite unable to regard
Leon Trotzky's announcement of
state of peace between Russia and the
Central Powers with any feelings of
satisfaction.
The Berlin Zeitung am Mittag thinks
that the old chaos will continue and
that therefore it will be necessary for
Germany to continue to safeguard her
frontier, both from a military and di-
plomatic viewpoint.
The Berlin Tageblatt says that no.
body can fail to see that Trotzwy's an
nouncement only confirms the existing
facts, adding:
1--WE have peace with Russia be
cause there is no Russian army, but
it is a peace devoid of any solid basis
and without agreement. The quad
ripple alliance must now, as hereto
fore, strive after a definite settlement
in eastern affairs, which will facili-
tate the establishment of peaceful and
neighborly regulations with the Rus
sian people"

HENEY'S RAID DECLARED LEGAL
Judge Lands Rules That Confidential
Papers of Packers May be Seized
by Government

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Judge Lands, in
the United States district court to-
day, denied a motion to quash the
search warrant issued to agents of the
federal trade commission last Tues
day authorizing the seizure of books
and papers, alleged to have been used
in committing certain felonies, from
the vault Of Henry Veeder, general
counsel for Swift & Co. At the same
time the court held the search and
seizure section of the federal espion-
age law, under which the writ was
issued, constitutional.
Judge Lands, in his decision, over
ruled every objection to the validity
of the writ advanced by counsel for
the packers and upheld the govern
ment in its demand to search the Wee
der vault for evidence.
Counsel for Veeder were prepared
for an unfavorable decision and by
series of formal motions perfected the
record in the case so that an imme-
date appeal could be taken to the
United States court of appeals. Upon
the application for writ of error to
a temporary order staying further exc
cution of the search warrant until II
o'clock tomorrow morning.
District Attorney Charles f. Clyne
vigorously opposed the granting of the
temporary stay order and declared
that the government would demand
an immediate hearing on the appeal.
THE felonies complained of in the
affidavits on which the search war
rant was issued have been committed
continuously since 1905, and are being
carried on this very hour in defiance
Of law, according to our information
and belief said District Attorney
CIyne in objecting to the entering OF
the stay order. Delay will seriously
embarrass the government in its In
vestigation of these charges"

The Germans Sank More Than
Double Worlds Production
Washington Figures.
EXPECT DIFFERENT STORY NOW
American and English Officials Be-
lieVe Undersea Craft Will Be
Curbed by August I.

Washington, Feb. 14-Ship tonnage
sunk by submarines in 1917 was near
ly three times as great as the pro-
duction in the United States and Great
Britain in that year.
This was disclosed today by the an
nouncement of Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, in the
British House of Commons, that Great
Britain produced only 1,163, 474 tons
of shipping last year. The output in
the United States was 9O1 ,223 tons,
making a total combined tonnage Of
1904, 679, while sinkings by subma-
rines last year generally are reckoned
at six million tons. While complete
figures on construction in japan,
Italy, France and other nations in
1917 are not yet available, officials
here do not believe their aggregate
eQualed the total of the United States
If that is the case submarine sinkings
more than doubled all tonnage pro-
duced.
Expect Different Story This Year.
American and British officials ex-
pect a very different story in 1913.
The United States and Great Britain
are speeding up shipping programs
and naval officials in both countries
have predicted that the submarine
will be curbed this summer. Secre-
tary Daniels believes effectual results
will be obtained in the early summer.
Admiral Sir John r. Jellicoe, former
chief of the British naval staff, re-
Gently predicted that by next August
it could be said the submarine men
ace is killed" However, he predict
ed dark months before that time.
A Great Increase Predicted.
The output Of ship tonnage in the
United States in 1918 has been vari-
ousIy estimated at from 21a million
tons to 4 million tons, with shipping
board officials confident that at least
3 u million tons will be completed. No
estimate of Great Britain's output has
been received, but that country is ex-
pected to materially increase its 1917
figures.
Japan's operations just now are
hampered by lack of steel, but this
handicap is expected to be overcome
and that country also is expected to
increase its output this year. Other
countries are building few ships.

Instead of $500.

Washington, Feb. IA bill to fix
the price of wheat for the 1913 crop
at not less than 1915 a bushel, instead
Of 81 as now provided, was introduced
today by Senator McCumber, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota, and referred
to the agricultural committee. The
senator said the price Of materials
and labor had become so high that
something must be done to increase
profits of the farmers and induce them
to increase production
Senator Gore, Democrat, of Okla
homa, also introduced an amendment
increasing the government guaran-
teed price to $3.50 a bushel.
