CAUSE REIGN OF TERROR.
Even Boys and Girls, in Germany are
+, Seized on Little Pretext and
Jailed.

81 From the description in the Meuncn-
4 ensr Post it would appear that a veri-
4 table reign of terror" exists in Ger
many, due to the Governments fear OF
strikes and a revolution.
T The Pest says:
"The military courts are creating a
,elgn of terror in Munich. The army
authorities are constantly haunted by
the fear of strikes in munition and
acroplane works and similar estaD-
'ishments.
|, On the least provocation, or on no
provocation at all, the gendarmerlc
, and police, acting on the urgent in
structions given them, arrest men, wo-
! men, youths and young girls in the
street, often with the greatest brutal
ny.
"1n one case a young woman who
had been overheard by soldier to
"cmark to an acquaintance employed
- an acroplanc factory, If | had 10
work as many hours rs you do should
snon strike was beaten about the
head with the soldiers scabrc, marched
off to the court and forthwith SEN
'onccd to Is months Imprisonment
for treason.
Meanwhile, real criminals can rob
and murder with impunity. According
to the Eeitung am Mittag,' Berlin,
which for long before the war was
VIGOROUSLY the most immoral city in
the world, is now the most criminal
city. It says:
Berlin no longer offers any security
to the public Shops are looted, dwell
in% houses are forcibly entered, bur
glars revolvers are fired at all hours,
tl.cfts and robbcrics continue unceas-
ngly and the widest prc-war cXces-
sas of the Paris Apaches are cclipscd.
"'Thn greatest sufferers through The
Unhappy conditions arc the women
rno have to thread their way at night
through the unlightcd streets"

While the military operations on the various fronts continue at low ebb, the political pot still boils furiously in Austro- and Germany, in both of which countries there have been new outbreaks among the popu- lace because of economic and food con- ditions resulting from the war.
 Dispatches from Switzerland are to the effect that there has been serious rioting in Bohemia owing to a shortage in the flour rations, strong measures by the police being required to dis perse the mobs. which smashed shop windows and plunked stores. Likewise severe outbreaks are reported in the industrial regions in Rhenish Prus- sia, where troops had to be called out to deal with the dissatisfied populace.
 Attacks by the Pan-Gerinanists against any and all persons who are opposing their war aims continue un- abated in ermany.
 Announcement is made that Count Von Hertling, the imperial German chancellor, shortly will make a furth- CT statement regarding the Belgian question, offering positive suggestions and proposals.

Traffic Completely
 Tied Up by B|izzards
HEAVY FALL OF SNOW FROM
 MIDDLE WEST TO NEW YORK
OFFICIALS ARE WORRIED
Railroads Are Accepting Practically No Shipments Except of Fuel and Food-Fear Floods Might Follow.

Washington. Jan. 2S.--In the face of blizzards which completely stopped traffic on many eastern railroads to- day, the handling of sufficient coal for homes and important war industries in the eastern half of the country be- came a more serious problem than at any time this winter
 Fuel Administrators Worried
 Officials of the fuel and railroad ad- ministrations were frankly worried. but explained they did not believe it necessary to declare another five day industrial shutdown, in view of the general observance of today as the second 'heatless Monday" No exten- sion of the official eastern freight en- bargo is necessary, railroad adminis- tration officials said, because railroads now are accepting practically no ship ments except of fuel and food.
 Heavy Fall in Middle West.
 There was a general and heavy fall of snow today from the middle west to New York and it extended tonight in- to New England. In the middle west sleet storms interfered with traffic while in some sections rain fell.
 Fear of Floods
 Added to the concern of railroad ad- ministration officials over the contin- uance of cold weather and snow was the fear of floods which would follow a sudden thaw. In parts of West Virginia today railroad authorities re- | ported streams swollen with melting | snow threatening interruption of coa movements. 5~

4 HALF MILLION DOLLAR.
 GOVERNMENT CORPORATION Recommended by Secretary, to Make Leans and Advance War Enterprises.

Washington. Jan 28.-Creation of a half billion dollar government cor poration to make loans and advances to enterprises essential to the war and otherwise assist in private financing was recommended to congress. today by Secretary McAdoo.
 The secretary also asked that pri- vate issues of securities of more than s100,0O0 be made subject to the ap- proval of the government body, to be known as the War Finance Corpora tion."
 T.e proposed corporation would have power to make advances to banks the war or to buy direct the securi- ties of such corporations, subject to certain restrictions concerning price and length of the loans. The corpora : tion also would make short time ad- vances to savings banks.
 Further powers of the corporation would be ito subscribe for, acquire and own, buy, sell and deal in bonds and obligations of the United States" It could issue notes or bonds of its own of an amount not more than eight times it's capital, which would be sup piled originally by the government
 The corporation would be managed by the secretary of the treasury and four directors to be appointed by the secretary with the approval of the president.
 The draft of bill embodying Sec retary McAdoo's suggestion was pre- pared and will be introduced shortly in both houses of congress.
