COMMERCE CLUB
AN ORDWAY NEED

Ordway needs a commercial organ
iZation of some kind and about the
best move the business men of this
city can make at this time will be a
move to that end. The old COM
merce club has been out of business
for long time. 1t went out of busi-
ness partly because some of those
who would benefit the greatest by
the work the club did took absolute
ly no interest.
Right now Ordway has chance
of getting an industry located here
which will mean much to the COM
munity. That industry has not only
failed to get encouragement here
sufficient to make them want to
come but they have had cold water
thrown directly on their proposition,
and to be plain they have Just about
as good as had an invitation to stay
away.

Much More Serious Than in Army.

London, Jan, ga German naval
engineer with the rank of Lieutenant,
who has deserted from Kiel, ACCORDING,
to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily
Express, states that dissatisfaction
among the men of the German feet is
much more serious than IN the army.
He asserts there have been important
revolts, generally among the crews Of
mine sweepers.
Three weeks ago, a squadron Of mine
sweeping trawlers entered Hamburg
after an expedition in which three men
were lost in an encounter with the
British, and one of the trawlers was
damaged. Before the men were per-
mitted to go ashore. according to this
account, they were notified that they
must report back for duty within an
hour. They asked time for rest The
| Hamburg commandant refused, where
upon 150 men declined to obey the
order.
An hour later a lieutenant named
Wagner arrived and ordered the men to
return to their boats They refused.
The lieutenant swore at the men and
struck two of them, the dispatch con
tinues. He was thrown into the water
and left to drown.
The commandant who had watched
the mutiny, dispatched a motor boat
carrying two machine guns, which We're

Teuton Peace Talk Is
Mere Sham, u. S. Belief

Washington Jan. 25.--Based on the
short cabled outlines of the speeches
Of the German and Austrian premiers
to their respective parliaments, the
opinion is expressed by officials here
that no substantial advance towards the
final peace sought 10y all belligerents
has resulted from these declarations.
1t is true that expressions Of Count
Czernn, the Austrian premier, appear
to be more conciliatOry in tone than
previous utterances from that quarter,
but beyond vague statements that pos
sbilities Of peace negotiations are con-
tanned in the addresses of President Will
son and Premier Lloyd George, there
is no suggestion Of surrender of any
Of the extreme contentious of the mill
tary elements in the central states
The German premier's address ia
couched in the language of a victorious
general, and it is noted that nowhere
does he specifically abandon the claim
for indemnity and territory. In fact,
from the cabled abstract, it appears that
he has become even more uncompro-
missing and militaristic in his position
than he was when he assumed office
and first addressed the reichstag.
The remuneration by Count Czernin,
the Austrian premier, of any claim
against Russia for indemnity or annexa.
ton it Is noted, does not extend to
other nations.
Considering that Germany has under.
taken to dominate the Russian. Balkan
provinces, and that the central powers
already have recognized the independ.
ence Of Ukraine, thus constituting a
buffer state between Russia and Aus.
| tria, in large part it is easily perceived
that Austria is making no special sac.
rifice in this remuneration.
AS for Poland, the declaration that
the population would decide its own
fate is read in Washington in the light
Of the action already taken by the cen.
tral powers to set up a sham kingdom
Of Poland, which in reality is nothing
more than a dependency of Austria and
Germany.
