GRAIN TANGLED SO
BADLY CUTTING IS
SERIOUS PROBLEM

Damage done by recent storms
to standing grain in the vicinity Of
Rock Island was heavier than first
reports indicated, according to those
who have been through the cOun-
try.
I have been cutting grain for
nearly fifty years, and l never saw
conditions as bad as they are now,
said one Rock Island county farmer
yesterday. Il operated some Of the
first binders ever brought into this
country and l never have seen a
time when grain could not be cut
in some way. Often it falls so~we
have to cut in one direction only,
but this season it has been blown
down at different times by winds
fronr~different directions, so it is
all tangled up. 1 don't know how
much of my grain can be saved.
"As for hay. it is mostly clover
this year and nearly all that has
been cut so far has been damaged
by rain and that which has not
been cut is rotting in the field. There
Will be very little good hay to feed
next winter"

crime in Germany as the concomitant
of war is causing distress to German
officials. Theodor Wolff has written
the following comment on this social
unrest in the Berliner Tageblatt:
Everywhere the work of guarding
property has been made more diff
cult, watchmen are fewer and even the
fabricators Of literary slime who sing
about the ennobling effects of war
must admit that here and there some
of our moral concepts are weakening.
"A thief who formerly had to sneak
from fence to fence to find someone
who would give him pittance for his
stolen goods and often had to throw
away his booty can now appear as a
baron IL he tries to sell food or cloth
ing. The demand is great and every
body knows what high prices are paid
today in illegitimate ways for such
things. And most of the purchasers
care little whence the butter or sau.
sage really comes"

LABOR TO SUFFER MOST
COAL ORDER CUTS IN ON WAGE
GARNER.
Doubtful as to Wisdom of Measure but
Urges Full Compliance In
Nations Interest.

Washington. -Labor's loyalty to the
government is expressed in state
ment issued by Samuel Gompers, pres
ident Of the American Federation Of
Labor.
He declared that the workers of the
nation will be the greatest sufferers
from the fuel restriction order, but
that they will maintain their loyal
stand despite their suffering and sac
rifices which they may be called upon
to bear"
1.-THE shutting down of all industries
for five continuous days is only war
ranted if based upon immediate emer-
gency, and | have some doubt if five
continuous days is the best measure"
said Gompers. ut certainly seems
very radical measure to meet the prob
lens of transportation.
Il am in receipt Of large number
of Geographic protests from workers
in several parts of the country.
1.-THE workers, the masses of the
people, will be the greatest sufferers
from this new order. Others have
been or will be able to hoard their
needs and supplies. OF course, the
working people of America will main
tain their loyal stand despite their
suffering and sacrifice which they may
be called upon to bear; and yet every
thing must be done to see that they
are not made to suffer unnecessarily.
Il have Just received a letter from
the executive secretary Of DR.. Gar
field, the head Of the United States
fuel administration, in which he says:
"l In connection with the order clos
ing down industry for five days and
subsequent Monday, | am issuing an
appeal to industries concerned, asking
them not to allow labor to suffer by
reason of the shutdown; that this is a
war measure, which | confidently ex-
pect industry will execute without
shifting the burden to labor"

CAR AND FAMILY ESCAPE
unconfirmed Report That Party Has

London.--Nicholas Romanoif, the
former emperor, and his family have
escaped from their prison near To-
bolsk, Siberia, it is reported in Petro.
grad, according to a Reuter- dispatch
from the Russian capitai. The report,
the dispatch adds, lacks confirmation.
Nicholas Romanoff and his family
were removed to Tobolsk by the Ike.
rensky government last August. In
October the Romanoffs were taken to
the Abolak monastery, some distance
outside Tobolsk.
The executive committee Of the con-
gress Of peasants deputies on Jan. 13
adopted resolution urging that the
former emperor be brought to Kron-
stadt or Petrograd. A dispatch from
Amsterdam on Tuesday reported that
German papers had said that the for
mer empress had become insane and
was confined in a sanitarium at To-
bolsk. Her condition was reported to
be hopeless.
