REED AND HOOVER FINALLY CLASH AT
 COMMITTEE PROBE
Missouri Senator Questions Ad- ministrat0r Sharply and Is Answered by Hoover With Equal Spirit.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Food Admin istrator Hoover and Senator Reed had their long expected clash in public to- day at the hearing before the Senate committee Investigating the sugar and coal shortage. Reed, one of Hoover's critics, questioned the food adminis- trator sharply, and Hoover replied with equal spirit. The verbal duel ranged from sugar to wheat. Senator Reed charged MT. Hoover with "usur- patton of authority" in handling the wheat situation "that would be a crime in normal times"
 Hoover warmly denied it and said the situation had been handled with the approval of President Wilson.
 Yes, of course" retorted Reed, 'the presidents coat tails are long, his shoulders broad and his position un- questioned, but I'm questioning you on the authority you employed to fix wheat prices"
 Reed began questioning on wheat, he said, to bring out point affecting sugar. Hoover said the food admins tration had asked grain dealers not to pay more for wheat than the price fixed by Congress. Reed tried to bring out that the price question was so put up to the dealers as to really make the transaction price-fXing, but Hoover maintained he only attempted to stabilize prices and denied that the food administration had done any thing not authorized in the food law.
 q take it that with the country at war, the people wanted results" said Hoover. Ut is not fair to go into wheat conditions unless all phases are discussed and that would take week. One thing is certain, the farmers now are getting more for their wheat and flour is selling for less"
 Hoover would not acquiesce in Reeds statement that some force was necessary to get and maintain so- called voluntary agreements on sugar prices. He said tba food administra- ton depended largely on the patriot ism of refners. but that some author ity was needed
 Senator Reed tried to develop that the food administration last fall ar ~,r,r,J ,+ r, +bo4 Ga,+- .-,7-,a,. cell n, 6, $725 would not come east of the Ale phenies when cane sugar was selling for a higher price, and that it was done for the benefit of eastern cane refners.
 After he had been questioned min ptely on details, Hoover remarked: Fl don't think you comprehend the whole situation, senator"

GERMAN PLANS FOR
 BIG DRIVE IN WEST
 MAY BE THWARTED
Confidence Expressed in Petro- grad That Russian Govern ment Might Put Army of 3,000,000 Men in the Field.

A breaking OH III peace negotiations probably will upset all German plans to press a formidable attack on the western front. Confidence is expressed in Petrograd that the Russian govern loent might put an army of 3,000000 men in the field and the Bolsheviki Red Guard, made up of armed Russian workmen, already has started toward the fighting front.
 A complete break undoubtedly would compel the Germans to return to the eastern front the troops they have taken away within the past six weeks and would make it impossible for the Germans to renew trade rela- tions with Russia in order to obtain much needed fodostuffs.
 Petrograd, Jan. 2.-The Russian peace delegation officially has suggest ed to the Central powers that the meeting place of the peace delegates be transferred to neutral soil and has protested against certain articles in the Austro- German terms already submitted.
 The halt in the Russo-German ne- gotiations and indications of a Ger man refusal to remove the conference to Stockholm have revived universal discussion in Petrograd of a resump- tion of fighting with a greatly re- duced army, probably 3,000,000 men.
 Even the. most radical Bolsheviki and the most ardent peace advocates have been aroused by the German po- sition. They declare that a resump- tion of hostilities is imminent and ex- press the belief that it is possible to organize and make effective a small army.
 Indications are that the German at titude is harmonizing democratic diff ferences and is convincing Russians that they must fight to save their revolutionary principles.
 Chairman Joffe of the Russian peace delegation today sent an official telegram to the chairman of the Ger man-Austrian- Bulgarian and Turkish delegations, saying the Russian re- public deems it necessary to conduct further peace negotiations on neutral soil and suggests a transfer of the conference to Stockholm.
 The telegram declares that replies to the message are expected by Russia in Petrograd.
 Articles 1 and of the Austro- Ger man terms submitted December l2 December 25 new style) the message says, are in direct conflict with the principles of self-defnition of nations insisted upon by the Russian peace delegation and supported by the Rus sian republic and the central eXecu- tive committee of the congress of soldiers and workmen's delegates.

HUN RULERS AROUSED BY
 RUSS REPLY
Military and Political Leaders Conferring With Emperor Widespread Demand That the Reichstag Be Convened.

A crisis is nearing in the Russo German peace negotiations and indi- cations are that definite break is not far off.
 The Russian government has de- manded that the conference, which was to have reconvened on January 4, be transferred to Stockholm and has protested against the German attitude regarding occupied territory. A re- sumption of hostilities is not improb able should the Germans decline to meet the Russian demands.
 Emperor William and the rulers of Germany apparently are aroused over the sudden change in the situation and the German and Austrian foreign sec retaries are reported hurrying back to Brest-Litovsk with new instruc- tions. German military and political leaders conferred yesterday with the emperor and there is widespread de- mand throughout Germany that the Reichstag be convened immediately.
 Reichstag leaders at a conference with Foreign Secretary von -Kuehl- mann discussed the situation and the leaders of the regular and independ- ent Socialists are reported to have eX- pressed dissatisfaction with the Ger man attitude concerning occupied ter ritory.
 Petrograd. Jan. 2.-The Bolsheviki foreign minister, Leon Trotsky, de- cred today that the government of the Russian workers would not con sent to the German peace proposals.
 M. Trotsky's declaration was made before the central committee of the Council of Soldiers and Workmen's s Delegates, during an address in which he denounced in scathing terms Ger many's hypocritical peace proposal. ' Asserting that the government of Russian workers would not consent to such conditions, he said that if the central powers did not agree to free disposal of the destiny of the Polish and Lettish nations it would be urg- ently necessary to defend the Russian revolution. He said the needs at the front would be satisfied, whatever ef- ,,,,~b+ ba

C00NEY IS HEAD
 0F LOCAL WORK

Mrs. G. w. Gasser, the territorial representative of the American Red Star, which is the Red Cross of the animal world, received a telegram intimating that the society had con- fered upon her the power to or ganize branches of this humane society in Alaska, and accordingly she has selected M. J. Cooney as the head of the Nenana branch.
 MT. Cooney is eminently fitted for the position as there are only a few men in the North who know as much about the proper care of animals as he does, and under his fostering care, the society is bound to grow in this district.
 He is now making preparations with view of organizing the branch in Nenana, and all lovers of anmials are urged to become members of the Red Star and help the good work along. The membership fee is only one dollar per year and en- titles the holder to the society's magazine, which is issued monthly.
 The Red Star society is given full recognition by the war depart ment and the government of the United States is at the back of it. Through its humane endeavors on the battle fields great many horses have been cared for and restored to the service. The activities of the society is not confined to the care of the animals serving the country at the front, but extends all over the country, and they will see that our dumb animals will be given a fair show at all times.
 There is an urgent need for funds f for the purpose of establishing hos. pitals for the care of wounded ami. mals in the war zone, and Mir Cooney will be glad to enroll new members and give all the informa. tion necessary regarding the work of the Red Star.

ENGINEER TELLS
 0f I. '. REPAIRS
Engineer Ward Inspected T. v. Rood and Work Will Be Outlined
 For Next Season.

Locating Engineer Hero..t K. Ward, who arrived in .Nenana re- gently from the Anchorage division to undertake the rehabilitation of the Panama Valley Railroad, re- turned from Fairbanks a few days ago after having gone over the line of that railroad. He is working on the data gathered on his tour of inspection.
 MT. Ward states that nothing definite has been arranged regard ing the work of rehabilitation which. of course, will largely depend on the amount of the appropriation allotted for that purpose. The road is of a temporary nature and is not in a fit state for anything but very light traffic, and, to permit even of the light traffic, consider able repair work, especially to the structures supporting the line at intervals, is now being undertaken.
 MT. J. B. Bickford, who is in charge of the work on the T. V. line, has practically put in new cul- verts and bridges to replace the old ones between Fairbanks and Gil more and is now engaged in strength ening and repairing the bigger tres ties along the line, of which there are quite few
 MT. Ward is of the opinion that locomotives of the type of No. 151, which has been received this season and fixed up for service on the Nenana-Fairbanks line, cannot be safely operated on the T. V. line until the tracks now existing have been replaced with a heavier tyne of steel. For this purpose a large quantity of the type known to rail- road men as 55 pound steel has been ordered, and will in time, re- place the existing rails on the T. V. R. R. A large quantity of this steel has already been received and will be sent to Cinema for use on the line later on.
 The extension of the line from Fairbanks to Nenana is progressing and great many grading con- tracts have been let from either end Of the line. Track has been laid from Happy station for a distance of a little over five miles toward Nenana, and it is expected that by freezeup the line will have been ex- tended as far as Spinach creek and possibly beyond.
 It is expected that one of the small engines now lying idle in the Nenana yards, and one of the steam shovels will be shipped to Fairbanks some time before the freezeup.

Canning Crops

At the annual meeting of the Tri-
State Packers Association held in
Philadelphia, January 23d and oath,
the following resolutions were passed,
and in order that the widest publicity
might be given to the matter SO that
the growers OF canning crops in New
Jersey, Maryland and Delaware might
understand the cordial spirit of CO.
operation in which the Gamers wished
to handle the matter with the growers,
it was suggested that as a matter OF
public interest the county papers
throughout the section interested be
requested to give these resolutions dis
play in their issues:
Resolved, that in view of the extreme
need Of the production Of the greatest
amount OF food possible in this coun.
try, not only for the army and navy
and our people at home but for the
allies as we'll, that we urge upon the
government, whenever possible, tina,
those engaged in agricultural and food
industries, as well as the labor neces
sary thereto, be relieved from military
service.
Resolved, that since the slogan o.
the day is FOOD will win the war,
and in order that the boys over there
and those dependent upon US hert
may be furnished with plentiful sup
ply Of canned goods, we call upon the
farmers of the three states to cooperate
with US by growing the greatest acre
age possible Of sugar corn, peas Rnc
tomatoes 1t prices which. while liber
ally rewarding the farmer and in keep
ing with present prices for other farm
products, will yet periodically help Il
decrease the high cost OF living ant
tighten the already heavy burden TO
our people at home and our allie
abroad and in this patriotic effort bott
farmer and Gamer must co-operat,
with the utmost enthusiasm an,
mutual goodwill.

Casino Theatre

COOPER'S FAMOUS ''SIGHTSEERS"
Probably no organization in the
Columbia circuit has met with such
success as has James E. Cooper's
"Sightseers' combination Of per-
formers who have received the most
favorable criticism all over the circuit.
This up-to-the-minute organization
comes to the Casino Theatre, Philadel-
phia beginning with the regular mat
inee on Monday, February 18th, and
Manager Leslie guarantees it to be one
of the best shows yet offered at his
house. Cooper had only one thought
inimind when he organized his present
company and that was that no expense
should be spared in making it an en-
tertainment of the highest class. Great
care has been taken in selecting the
cast which is considered to be the best
obtainable for a show of this kind.
Never before has there been such an
array of talent as is offered in this
seasons "Sightseers" and there is not
one of the principals who is not made
of the caliber that goes to make star
The musical numbers are of the tune
full kind and of the brand that will
surely remain sacred in the minds of
all who are fortunate to hear them.
The songs are brand new and the air
should whistle long after the show has
gone its way. The costuming of the
principals and the chorus as well is
one of the special features of the show
and Cooper has furnished the various
feminine members of the cast with the
latest creations in style that will most
likely be copied by many of the fem
mime patrons of the theatre. The
chorus which is a specially selected
one, is sprightly and shapely as well
as demure in years. The program has
been SO arranged by the author, Billy
K. Wells, that it is almost constant
procession OF charming girls, lifting
melodies and humorous situations al
ably set in a glittering scenic environ
ment unrivalled by any Broadway
production.
