Prussian propagandists' guns are

the Observation-Disclosures belief that
they are unconquerable.

the west front.
From German prisoners, it is
known America is being cease
lessly ridiculed.
The United States has taken the
place of Britain as Contemplate"
in the German lexicon.
The German soldiers are being
told that stories of big Ameri-
can army are bluff" that when
the Yanks are put to the test they
will fail to make good.
None of the prisoners consider
America factor, believing the
war will be finished before "the

GERMANS
ALSO ARE
AFFECTED


PETROGRAD, Jan. 1S.-Whole
companies of Austrian troops
have been ordered shot for their
sympathy with Russian socialist
views, according to reports reach
ing here today.
According to reports here, many
units of Austrian forces on the
Italian front have been ordered
executed for their refusal to obey
their officers.
Disaffection against their mill
tarist masters is spreading among
German troops.
The German government Is
making strenuous efforts to stop the
spread of Russian propaganda and
of sympathy with Russian beliefs.
News from the camp of the 25.-
900 German troops who deserted
their commands and accepted Rus
sian principles of socialism. today
asserted that the force was well
armed and organized.
A similar situation of disaffec-
don among the men is reported
along the whole of the Austro-
Italian front, according to mes
sages received here.

EAST STOPS
WORK; PEEvE
I'M CONGRESS

United States went to their labor
as usual this morning, only to find
they we're not wanted.
Garfield's friends say 1t was
necessary to help McAdoo out OF
"a railroad tangle, while McAdoo's
friends say he had no knowledge
of the orders scope before 1t was
issued.
States Reasons.
Turnout the coal fields, scores
even hundreds-of mines are
lying idle because of railroad in
ability to supply the cars to carry
away their product" the fuel adj
ministration stated.
Coal mines cannot run with
out cars. Cars cannot he sup
piled while railroads are crippled
by the present freight congestion,
which keeps idle cars lying use
less in freight yards
War munitions, food, manu-
featured articles of every kind lie
at our Atlantic ports in tens OF
thousands of tons, while literally
hundreds of ships waiting, loaded
with war goods for our men and
the allies, cannot take to the sea
because Sheir bunkers are empty
of coal" the fuel administration
stated.
The coal to send them on their
way is waiting behind the con-
gested freight that has jammed
all terminals. IL Is worse than
useless to bend our energies to
more Manufacturing when what
we have already manufactured
lies at tidewater congesting ter
minal facilities, tanning the
railroad yards and sidetracks for
long distances back into the
country.
Many Questions.
DR.. Garfields final order, is
sued in its complete form, did
not vary in essential details from
the preliminary statement issued
Thursday.
Thousands OF kilograms came
into the departments asking fur
cher Interpretation of perplex-
ing questions.
What is to be done in case of
a building housing offices, some
of which are entitled to regular
heat and some of which are not?
Can sawmill, using its own
sawdust for fuel, operate as
usual?
Bungled on Publicity.
Water power companies were
given poser" when the fuel adj
ministration stated their power
did not come under the order, and
Garfield told the senate commit
tee he would ask waterpower
users to suspend the same as 9TH
ers, altho admitting he had no
power to enforce them to.
As the confusion continued to-
day there was marked disposition
to criticise what was generally re-
garded as a bungling handling OF
publicity-a failure to take the
public into the administration
confidence and prepare II for the
shock of the Garfield order.

ROW
BREWING
At HALL

Another grand row is
brewing at the city hall
over Mayor Fawcett's refusal
Friday to sign IA contract
for furnishing surplus city
current to the American Nj
trate Products Co. at La
Grapde.
Altho the council voted We'd
nesday in favor of granting the
five-year contract, Fawcett how
refuses to sign il on the ground
that the city cannot legally fur
nish electric current to any custo-
mer outside the city limits.
Commissioner GrOnen will in
troduce a resolution Monday in
which the council will demand
that Faweett sign the contract.
In the meantime Attorney p. c.
Sullivan has served notice on the
mayor that he will start an in
junction IL the contract is signed.
Bean i'm the WoOdpile?
Rumors were current at the
city hall Friday that Louis Bean,
manager for the 4. r. & p. Co.,
who has also been trying to buy
the city's surplus power, is re-
sponsible for the new develop
ments.
Bean is limited as having re-
tanned Attorney Sullivan to make
threats of suit.
Fawcett upholds his refusal to
sign the contract on the ground
that the state has never empow-
cred municipalities to sell electric
current to outside customers. City
Attorney Harmon upholds him in
the contention.
Harmon rules, however, that IL
the council demands that Fawcett
sign the contract, he must do SO,
whether it is a legal measure or
not.
Already Doing II.
But the interesting feature OF
the rumpus is that the city Is
already selling more than 100000
worth of electric current each
year to customers outside of the
city limits.
The city knew when it en-
tered into the various deals that
it had no legal authorization, but
a point because no one
threatened to interfere.
Tacoma is furnishing light
and power in this way to the
towns of Eatonvile, Falkland
and Steilacoom, to the Tacoma
Smelter Co., the Foundation ship
yard and the American Nitrate
Products Co.
100000 Income in Danger.
"If the mayor continues to
stand in the way of this new
on a technicality, 1t will
probably mean that the whole af-
fair will get into the courts" said
Gronen Friday. 'In that case,
we will be told that We have no
right to sell outside of our city
We will have to cut off
all these customers, and lose a
profit of 100000 year"
Bean. had asked for second
optioH VI oui piuo Po"Si, III SnoO
the five-year contract with the
company was signed. But
he is now letting his request
stand idle, in the belief, it is
that he will soon have a
clear field to buy all surplus
power that the city wants TO sell.
The T. R. & P. Co. is the only
large company inside the city lin
its that could use surplus power
in quantities.
Bean attempted to discuss the
power situation with Commits
sioner Gronen Friday morning,
but Gronen refused to talk with
him.
Mayor Fawcett maintains that
the light department is offering
to sell surplus power to the nj
trates company at a rate unrea-
sonably low.
Commissioner Gronen retorts
that the rate is fair and nor
NAL one.
