LONDON, Jan. 19.-The latest Ger

country proposes to put on annexa-
lions in the East. The guise in
which these are presented are that
The peoples Of these countries already
have determined their future status
through existing representative bodies
ana that this determination is ir-
revocable.
Whether the German newspapers
from which these reports have been
taken represent the general feeling. or
are extracts culled by the censorship
Tor circulation abroad, remains to be
seen: The "Taegliche Rundschau," of
Berlin, says:
we learn that complete agreement
mas been reached in conference be-
tween the higher army command and
me Chancellor regarding the settlement
81 all Eastern questions. These are to
~ regarded as united whole, and
1nere1ore the Lithuanian, Courland and
oilSn questions are to be considered
as az connected with one another.
~ This position gives a united Austro
herman front against Russia. The sit
uation is based on the present repre-
sentative bodies in Lithuania, Courland
ana Poland, whose unanimous declara-
tons are in our hands. These declare
tlons can be expanded, but not can

British Renew Drive
North of Jerusalem


LONDON, jar. 19.-After a consid-
cradle pause the British have again
begun their movement northward from
the Jerusaem-J atfa line, in Palestine.
General Allenby reported to-day that
he had advanced on a four-mile front
near Duran, twelve miles north of Je
rusalem and had captured prisoners.
Nothing is said of a Turkish reaction,
and the foe is evidently contenting
himself with obstructive tactics. The
greatest depth of the advance was one
mile.
The official statement given out here
was as follows:
yesterday our line was advanced to
a maximum depth of a mile on a four
mile front in the neighborhood of
Durah, twelve miles north of Jeru-
salem. Some prisoners were captured"

Wrist Motion Ascibed as
Secret Of Attaining Speed
In Art of. HuskinQ Corn

Corn husking IS rapidly becoming
an art Of rare attainment. In years
past, sobserves a writer in tie Illinois
State Register, many good stories have
been told about records achieved by
men accomplished In that art. As
stated by a husking expert, in years
past, farmers coupled size with skill
and would not hire hand to husk
corn unless he was giant physically.
Those were the days before the SCI
ence of the business had been devel-
oped. Experience taught the lesson
that the wrist motion, If properly az
quired, would enable an ordinary husk-
er to develop speed. When the sci
ence Of the game was brought out,
the smaller men gradually won recog-
milton as huskers of rare ability.
No standard Of production can be
laid down to govern the ability Of the
average husker. The foundation Of
the corn determines greatly the speed
of the picker. With corn Of medium
height, we'll matured and standing
erect, there is some opportunity to
estimate q good days work. These
three conditions rarely ever existed
at the same time.
Viewed from the angle Of q trade,
corn shucking is rapidly becoming a
craft, according to the announcement
Of a local trade journal In past
years corn shuckers have worked
without any attempt to secure q uni
form rate. In most cases the shucker
worked by the day and 1t followed
that on rainy and stormy days, the
men drew their wages, even though
they did not go into the field.
As corn huskfng grew to be more
and more a profession. It Is reported,
the huskers began to angle for short
er hours and q more uniform scale Of
wages, either based upon the day
wage or the commission on the bushel
gathered. The latter system Is rap
idly gaining foothold.
