GERMAN GOVERNMENTS
 DIRECTION OF NEWSPAPERS
Publishers Told What They Should
 Print and in What Terms.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Evidence of the care the German government is taking to direct public opinion and to deceive rot only it's enemies but it's own peo- ple is contained in series of secret instructions issued to the German press by the censorship which have fallen into the hands of the state de- partment. These instructions cover a period of less than three months of last year, but they tell a very com plete story of how thme Teytonic war lords control public opinion.
 Owners of newspapers and publish CTS generally hot only areS limited as to the character of tss.es ar ielesS print ed, but in many cases are told what they should publish and in what terms. Labor disturbances, food shortage and difficulties in securing and distribut- ing coal are placed under the ban, but newspapers are urged to give prominence to enemy losses and to certain prescribed interpretations of international situations
 A hint of the relentleness of the au- thorities in punishing infractions of orders is contained in one notice in which attention is called to the fact that the police "have again been noti- fled to seek out and to bring to ruth less punishment originators and com municators of untrue military, politi- cal, financial and economic reports In another notice similar warning is given that the police will proceed en ergetically" against those who repeat ed untrue reports

USE OF SHoDDY IN
 MILITARY UNIFORMS
Defended Before Senate Committee by
 Colonel John P. Wood.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Use of re-work- ed wool or shoddy instead of cotton for mixture in woolen cloth for the army was vigorously defended before the senate military committee today by Colonel John P. Wood, of the en- gineers' reserve corps, former presi- dent of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, and Winthrop l.
 Marvin of Boston. secretary of the as- sociation. Both declared the new gar- ments as warm or warmer than those made under the old specifications, and insisted that the substitution was ne- cessary to conserve the wool supply.
 The witnesses gave the committee it's first information concerning the origin of the shoddy order. They said it was proposed by a committee of the Manufacturers Association and was adopted over the opposition of Quar- termaster General Sharpe and Charles Eisenman, vice chairman of the De- fense Councils supplies committee.
 Colonel Wood opposed proposals that the army uniforms be made heavier He insisted that it would be a great mistake to impose heavier clothing upon the soldiers while training in this country, and that it would be time enough to make the change if actual experience abroad demonstrated it's ne- cessity. -5

Many Automobiles Remain Stalled No Milk Trains Arrived Yesterday.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Twenty four hours after the unprecedented Sunday bliz- gard Chicago's streets are still badly fmpeded. Today's traffic was for the most part confined to the paths made by street cars which made uncertain progress through canyons of snow heaped and drifted on either side.
 By offering bonuses the city obtain ed 2,000 ,aborers for the street clean ing department, but although private firms lent men and carts the snow piles had not perceptfbly decreased by nightfalL Many automobiles, stalled last night, remained fast tonight, as the demands for help had far outnum- bered the wrecking crews available at garages and livery stables. TaXicab companies confined their services to streets made passable by the street cars.
 No milk trains arrived and it was a question if they did during the night whether the wagons would be able to make deliveries in the morning. News paper deliveries were curtailed rrob- ably 25 to 50 per cent and one paper abandoned an edition this afternoon because of inability to distribute it tc agents.

 Meanwhile the German social demo- cratic. party has come out strongly against the Germans plan of annexa- tion as set forth at the Brest Litovsk conference and in a resolution has de- clared that lasting peace is only possible if the democratic principle of self lf-determination is honestly carried out. The resolution adds that the party is resolved resolutely to combat the misuse of the right of self deter. imitation for the purpose of disgusting annexations.

Although infantry operations in the major war theatres are of a minor character, signs are not wanting that big battles are in the process of mak- ing in Flanders, France and Italy. At various points in these three war zones intensive artillery duels are going on {. day and night. They are particularly sevefe in the region of Ypres and the Cahnbrai sector, where the British are facing the Germans; along the Aisne, on the Verdun sector and along the Moselle river, where the forces of the German crown prince and Grand Duke Albfecht of WurttenTberg are opposing the French, and in the Italian high lands from the region of Lake Garda eastward to the Piave river, where the Austro German troops are aligned against the Italians, French and British.
 Southwest of Ypres, in Flanders. the Germans have made an attempt to en ter British positions, but met widl repulse and heavy losses under the fire of the British infantry and machine guns. Likewise, an attempted raid against the French positions on the : historic Hill 304 in the Verdun sector was stopped with sanguinary losses to the Germans. These two manouvres conetitute the only activity by in- fantry forces at any point, except that small British patrols at several places forced crossings of the Piaye river against the, Teutonic allies. -,

 FOR MARYLAND'S POOR

Boston, Jan. 1.-Two million ripe bananas were offered by the United Fruit company tonight to the food administration of Maryland for distri- button among the poor.
 A telegram from the office of the company here to Herbert Hoover, na- tional food administrator, said that the steamship Wika had arrived at Baltimore with 1S,000 punches of the fruit which, owing to the fact that the vessel was held up a week by ice in Chesapeake bay, had become unstable through regular channels. The com pany added that it was against it's policy to destroy bananas fit for feed and requested that MT. Hoover notify the Maryland food administrator in order that prompt steps could be taken to distribute the fruit to the best advantage.

SELEcTlVE DRAFT LAW
 IS CONSTITUTIONAL
1 Unanimous Opinion Delivered by Unit
 ed States Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Every conten- ton raised against the selective draft act was swept aside by the supreme court today in unanimous opinion delivered by Chief Justice White, up- holding the law as constitutional. Au- thority to enast the state and to send forces to fight the enemy wherever he may be found, the court held lies in the clauses of the constitution giving congress the power to declare war and to raise and support armies.
 "As the mind cannot conceive an army without the men to compose it." said the chief justice, lon the face of the constitution the objection that it does not give power to provide for such men would seem to be too frivol- ous for further notice"
 The governments motion to post pone, because of the war, further con- sideration of several important anti trust suits was granted today by the court with the exception of the case against the United States Machinery Company, which will go forward.
