DISABLED GERMAN SOLDIERS
 TNSULTisD AND BEATEN
Invited to Meeting of "Fatherland Party They Were Not Allowed
 to Sneak.

Amsterdam, Jan. 9.-A number of disabled German soldiers were in yited, on Monday, to attend meet ing of the Fatherland party, found ed recently in the interests of the pan-Germans and other non-com- promising elements. They grew restless under the flow of chauyin- ist talk from the annexationists, says the socialist organ Vorwaerts, of Berlin. They were not permit ted to speak and a stormy scene followed.
 One of the speakers referred to the disabled soldiers as deserters who had left Hindenburgs banner to betray their comrades. Some of the cripples, yerwaerts says, were belabored with.sticks and abused by the heroic home warriors of the Fatherland party
 The police finally ordered the dis abled soldiers to leave the hall. In concluding it's account of the meet ing the newspaper remarks:
 The home warriors of the Fath- crland party were left to them selves and now know what the field grays think of them"

FUNSTON MURDERS
 YET HAVE MYSTERY
Effort to Locate Money Stolen by Capt. Whistler UnaVailing and No Trace Found of Accom-
 plice-$65,000 to $S0,000.

Camp Funston, Kas- Jan. i4.-- Search for the canvas sack contain ing the money Captain Lewis R Whistler is supposed to have ob- tained when he robbed the Army Bank here Friday night killing four men with an axe, and seriously wounding a fifth, continued today with the authorities working on the theory that the army officer, who killed himself with an army rifle a few hours after the murders were discovered, may have had an ac- complice who fled from the camp in motor car. after the money had been entrusted to him.
 While intelligence department officials arc inclined to openly scout the accomplice theory, it was be- lieved they were inclined to place more credence in it after search of the most careful nature had failed to reveal any trace of the missing money. Just how much Captain Whistler obtained was still a matter of conjecture today and it was said by officials that it might be several days before the checking up could be completed and the ex- act amount determined. In most quarters the belief grew that the sum missing was a large one and estimates varied from $65,000 to S80,0O0.
 Kearney Wornall, of Kansas City, cashier of the bank, who was the only survivor of the tragedy, con- tinued to improve today and it was believed by the attending physician that he was practically out of dan ger. Wornall today identified the body of the dead officer as the man who had robbed the bank and com mitted the murders.

FIRE DESTROYS
 VAST SUPPLIES
Quartermaster Warehouse and $1,- 100000 Worth of Food Lost in Washington Blaze Gasoline
 Explosion Added to Ruin.

Washington, Jan. i4.-A large quantity of supplies, including ST. 100000 worth of food, was de- stroyed, the quartermaster ware house ruined and several other buildings damaged by fire today at the Washington barracks occupied by the engineer troops. The flames were given impetus by the explos- ion of quantity of gasoline stored Tn one part of the big warehouse.
 After hard fight of an hour and a half, the fire was extinguished An ordnance building containing a quantity of small arms ammunition was endangered but soldiers re- moved what was stored there. The origin of the fire has not been dis closed by officials of the post. A limited quantity of clothing and shoes was destroyed.
 The buildings are located on the United States arsenal grounds along the river front at Four and-a-h half street. Southwest Buildings on the ground include the United States army war college, far removed from the other structures, and barracks and officers quarters. occupied by men of the engineer corps.
 The office buildings of the quar- termaster department and the warehouse were the first to catch. Tn the warehouse, which occupied about a city block, was stored a quantity of gasoline. This soon ex- ploded. The fire burned fliercely and the firemen had difficulty in keeping it from spreading to nearby buildings. Tn the warehouse was stored clothing, shoes and other supplies for the army
 Even Police Barred.
 Soldiers stationed at the barracks hastily removed ammunition stored in the ordnance building nearby and assisted the flremen in fighting the flames.
 Police sent to aid were barred from the grounds by soldiers and no one. other than firefhen and army officers, was permitted to go within the enclosure.

WINTER HOLDING BACK HUN DRIVE
No Indication That Heralded Push Is About to MateriaIize-Political Crisis in Germany Is Near
 Militarists Seeking Control.

New York, Jan i5.--The winter idleness on the western and Italian fronts have not been broken by large operations, says the Associ- ated Press report. Raids and patrol engagements occur here and there and the artillery fire breaks into violence at apparent points now and then, but there is hardly anything in the official statements to indicate that Germany's huge reserve of 100000 men from the Russian front is to begin it's heralded blow very soon
 Control of the destinies of the German empire, press accounts from neutral countries agree, is passing into the hands of the mili- tarists or the leaders who want to hold what has been gained by might and the sword. Chancellor voR Hertling, the aged incumbent of the chief political office, again is re- ported ill and preparing to resign, while the militarists and pam Ger mans are demanding the dismissal of Dr. von Kuehlmann, the foreign secretary who has headed the Ger man delegations at Brest-Litovsk.
 To Adopt Primer Policy.
 Tn connection with the reported illness of the German imperial chan celor, it is reported from Berlin that Count von Hertlings address before the main committee of the Reichstag has been postponed for several days. 1t was said previous ly that the chancellor would an swer the recent war aims state ments of President Wilson and Pre- mier 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 conferences with the political and military leaders. 1t is reported also l tnub itlfc oclliidfi iiiiiltcOGf tD bcb- mark and Holland have arrived un- expectedly in Berlin Indications are that the present turmoil within the German ruling class will result in the acceptance Of firm policy either favoring the militarists or the more peaceful element with the probability that the pan-Germans wilFkbe victorious. The socialist Vorwaerts believes q military die tatorship is in the making. No ex- planation has been vouchsafed by either the Germans or the Russians as LQ3Ahe reasons behind the tenn poraTy halt in the peace negotia- tiohs Nor has it been announced officially why the conferences, if coniinutd are to be resumed at Warsaw A Bavarian newspaper says Egyptian darkness enshrouds" Germany's peace terms.

HUNS WITHDRAW
 PEACE PROPOSALS
B0lshevik Government in Russia Is Reported to Re Building Up a. Smaller Army to Do
 Battle.

Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-The Central powers have withdrawn their peace terms made at Brest-Litovsk on De- cember 25, the German foreign sec- retary, von Kuehlmann, told the Russians at Brest-Litovsk yesterday, according to information received here late this afternoon.
 Owing to the non-acceptance by all the enemy powers of these terms, Kuehlmann stated that document has become null and void"
 Only With Russia.
 Amsterdam, Jan. ii.--The Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, Czernin, delegate to the Brest-Litovsk peace conference, Thursday said that, since Russia's allies had not replied to the invitations extended them to participate in the. negotiations, it is now a question of peace between Russian and the Central Powers.
 Czernin said the negotiations would end satisfactorily if the Rus sians were animated by the same intentions as the Central Powers. Ii not, the responsibility for the war would fall exclusively on the Rus sians.
 German Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann said he considered the difficulties which interrupted tha previous negotiations sufficient te justify failure of the peace work and the resumption of hostilities. He declared the Central Powers are of fixed and unchangeable determina- ton not to conduct elsewhere the peace negotiations begun at Brest- Litovsk.

PUZZLED OVER NEW RULING.
Established Penalty of $i for Fail-
 ure to Assess Still Stands.


 Tax collecting officers and other county officials have been in a quandary as to just what assess ment penalties were remitted in the recent proclamation by Governor C. Ii. Trough, but the conclusion has been reached that all penalties save the penalty of Sl on delinquent personal assessments are set aside by this proclamation. The law of 1917, which abolished the county board of equalization and instead created the township assessment boards composed of two justices of the peace in each township and the County Assessor, provided that 2 penalty of 2 per cent be added to the tax of all nonresident real es- tate owners who failed to list their property with the assessing board, and 1t was further provided that the minimum penalty should be $i Another section of 1ie law provides that penalty of % per cent shall be added to the tax of all residents who fail to list their personal prop erty. and in this ease the minimum penalty is fixed at Si, one half of which is to go to the assessing off, cers and the other half to the coun- ty school fund. It is this latter pen alty that is to be collected, all oth- CTS being remitted under the pro- clamaton.

 WAR SECRETARY
Examination of Mir. Baker Before Senate Military Committee Became Heated Under Cr0sS-Fire of
 Questions-Week Was Caustic.

Washington, Jan. Secretary of War Baker, being examined today by the war inquiry committee, in answering questions as to the fears of a powder production shortage, declared that the situation is satis- factory.
 Secretary Baker was asked if there were enough guns at Camp Bowie, located near Fort Worth, Tex, to which question the secre- tary replied that the initial rush needs are filled there now.
 Senator Weeks told Secretary Baker that his explanation gave the impression that the camp had all the guns needed, and Secretary Bak- CT declared that the initial rush had been met, but that he did not mean that all the guns needed were at the camps.
 The examination of the secretary of war bfore the Senate military committee this afternoon was warmed up quite bit by the rapid cross-fire of questions by senators of both parties, who did not agree with the generally favorable view of the war preparations depicted by Secretary Bakers statement of yes terday.
 The senators declared that Sec retary Bakers declaration that the war supplies were adequate would mislead the country. and Senator Weeks declared that the country should not be lulled to sleep by a general statement of facts that do not exist"
