Would like to tell you about our

ands of prisoners, machine guns, ar
tillery, ammunition and other stuff

just like taking candy from a baby.
The German soldiers know there is
no chance to win and they are more
than glad to be taken prisoners.

SWEDEN IS WORSE
FOOD SHORTAGE IN

Stockholm, Jan. 31.-The food situa-
ton in Sweden is rapidly growing
worse. Pork cards will be introduced
and the extra bread cards, which for
merly provided for foreign diplomats
have been withdrawn, except one for
each head of a mission.
The export of fopdstuf has almost
entirely stopped, with the exception
of meat, owing to the necessity of
slaughtering stock because of the lack
of fodder. Even meats show a, large
decrease. In November last PIP tons
of pork were exported against 1,517
tons in November, 1876 and ISL tons
of all other meat against 972.
The statistics of Swedish imports for
the first IL months of the past year,
which are now available, demonstrate
upon what short rations the kingdom
has been put. The total imports Of
all cereals and flour were 1860 tons,
against 331, 1877 for the first II months
of 1916. Coffee imports were S,194 tons
against S7,41S, tea SO tons against 4SO,
all kinds of animal fodder, chiefly OIL
cakes. 33,6O2 tons against T,272, and
hard coal 11,3OO,OO0 tons against 3D.
SOC, 900 tons in the first IL months OF

HARK! he SAYS
KAISER REALLY
DESIRES Peace

Rotterdam, Jan. 30-Emperor VIII
liam is in sympathy with the move
rent for peace by agreement, accord
ing to Prof. Hans Delbrueck of the
University of Berlin, as quoted in an
interview with the Nieuwe Rotter-
damscha Courant's Berlin correspon-
dent.
Prof Delbrueck, who himself is a
peace by agreement advocate, said the
warning nations were now divided in
to two camps, the first comprising
those who, like Premier Lloyd-George
III England and Admiral Won Tirpitz
i; Germany, wanted a fight to a fin
ish, and the second consisting of those
who, like Emperor William, the Ger
man government, the reichstag ma
jority and the great majority of the
people, were working fer a negotiated
peace.
Germany, declares Prof. Delbrueck,
has no thought of infringing on the
integrity or sovereignty of Belgium
and he regretted that Chancellor Won
Hertling in his reichstag speech did
not say so more definitely. Nothing
was farther from the chancellor's in
tention than the carrying out of a
policy of force, in Prof. Delbrueck's
view, and the masses of the people
were behind him. He thought the
fear that Admiral Won Tirpitz might
get the power to shape things as he
desired was quite unfounded.
Prof. Delbrueck pointed to the furi-
Gus attacks by the Pan-Germans on
! the understanding hitherto IN
heard of in Germany-as sufficient
proof of the emperor's sympathy
W it'll a peace by agreement.

SOUTHERN ROUTE.
TO Be USED FOR
MOVING FREIGHT

Washington, Jan. 30-Plans to re-
lieve the traffic congestion on eastern
roads and release the freight tied up
in New York by diverting foreign
freight to southern roads were IN
der consideration by the shipping
board, the railroad, traffic and food
administrations and the shipping
council of defense.
The representatives were summon
ed by Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board yesterday and details of.
the freight congestion on the New
York wharves was explained by Muir
ray Hurlbert, commissioner of docks
and railroad officials had announced
that the traffic tangle on eastern roads
aggravated by bad weather, could not
be Strengthened out before the middle
of March. Mr.. Hurleys plan is to
send much of the freight normally
moved to New York to Charleston
and Savannah.
Both the railroad and the fuel ad-
ministration went forward today with
a continuance of unusual measures to
keep coal, food and supplies moving
to consuming points. Recent biz
yards, followed by thaws and flood
conditions on coal producing sections,
made it evident, officials said, that
priority given to these commodities
would be continued for several weeks.

CAUSE FAMIN {
Shortage of Tugs, Resulting From Government
Action, May Lead to Great Shutdowns of
Munitions Mills During Next Few
Weeks Through New England

I'VE were down to bedrock at the
beginning of last week. At that time
we hoped that we could get through
this week and through the shipments
of last week be ready to meet the in
dustrial and public needs OF the dis
frict for next week. But we made no
shipments last week.
1.-THE Fuel Administration had some
ships at Hampton Roads for US but
the government put twenty-five of
their vessels in ahead of ours at the
docks. For all know it was war
necessity. I know that we were un-
able to ship any coal from that port
for the first five days of last week.
That means we will have no supplies
for next week.
ut has been a miracle that we
have been able to get along as we
have Tor so long. From messages I
received today it would seem that
Boston office buildings and stores
will have to close next week. For the
last three weeks in Boston we have
been ladling out all our COAL hard
and soft, in 100 pound bag lots to
householders.
ION January II the steamship
Achilles brought us 12,4 tons OF BIZ
luminous. We divided this cargo
among forty-six hospitals, town pow
ell, water and lighting companies, CIV
ing Boston retailers 5000 tons for dis
tribution to ilouseholders, when The
normal h3Lsec consumption of the city
is 5000 tons daily. Some OF this
coal weuE into every New England
State in lots of from sixty to 400 tons.
1t is all gone by this time.
Il wish to make it clear that have
no criticism to make of the Fuel Adj
ministration. DR.. Garfield has worked
early and late to help New England,
but there has been short sightedness
shown by the Government.
'@The Rhode Island situation is very
desperate, but it is so in every one of
our States, particularly so in Boston
and north of there. When you stop
| tons of coal for our winter uses 800
miles you realize that New England's
supply should have been guaranteed
! by some means. Every other indus
! trial section has mines near at hand,
Ibut New England is 800 niles from
the mines and she is today doing the
| lions share of making our war sup
plies.
cat the best it looks as if we would
lose two weeks work out of the next
! eight weeks, and if we get more
stormy weather we will lose Y1ucl
more"

UNITED STATES
HAS FINE ARMY
ENGLISHMAN SAYS

New York, Jan. 3O.-"The United
States has the finest army in the
world-excepting none,' declared Cap
tain A. R. Dugmore of the British
army as he stepped from the steam
ship on which he returned to the
United States after spending two
weeks with the American forces in
France.
'"They are happy, well fed, we'll
clothed and well equipped in every
way Tales of illness among the men
are rank fabrications. Reports of mis-
conduct are even more malicious and
are vicious untruths."
Captain Dugmore was enthusiastic
about the splendid morale of the
troops and their keen enthusiasm to
get into the thick of the fighting.
During his last talk with Gen. Per-
shing, the General predicted that 'the
Germans are going to pull something,
but we will be ready for them"

OF
COAL SHOvELS
TAGGED TODAY

New York, Jan. 30-Issuance of
coal cards to manufacturers and pri-
GRITTY orders in behalf of apartment
houses are considered by local fuel
administrators to provide an equal
distribution of the meagre daily coal
supply that reaches New York.
Today IS Shovel Day, and $4,000
tags are being distributed by Boy
Scouts and school children. These
tags, which are tied to coal shovels,
urge the shovellers to save as much
coal as possible. All the high schools
of the five boroughs will close after
the afternoon session today and will
not reopen until Monday. In Brook
lyn 1876 elementary schools are still
clsed for lack of fuel.
Boston, Jan. 30-The coal pinch
was felt in its full extent here today
when the enforcement of orders for
bidding the delivery of coal to stores
office buildings or factories during
the next 4S hours. Preservation of q
reserve supply, deemed essential be-
cause of the long haul from the Goa
fields, was assigned by the city fue
committee as the reason for the or.
yond the 4S hour period unless the
prospects for rail and water shipment.

CANADIANS FROM
20 TO 40 IN U. S.
TO Be DRAFTED

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary Ian
sing, writing of the draft agreement
with Canada, said unforeseen difficult
ties had interposed themselves in the
negotiations, as for example, the rev.
olution in Russia and the German
drive in Italy, and it was deemed
best to reach an agreement, If posi-
BILE, with some country that might
be used as a model for the agreement
with the other countries.
'Tt is with pleasure" the secretary
wrote, that have to report that at
the present time we are in agreement
with Great Britain and with Canada
as to the terms of separate conscrfp-
ton conventions which now, but for
a few verbal changes, await the sig
natures of the representatives of the
government concerned before being
sent to the senate.
I'm brief, these conventions, which
are in effect practically alike, give to
persons under the convention the OPP
ton to return to their own country
for military service within certain
limited period. After the expiration
of this period such persons are sub
ject to military service under the
laws and regulations of the country
in which they choose to remain, pro-
vided that for British and Canadians
in the United States the ages for mil
itary service shall be 20 to 40 years,
both inclusive, and in respect to Amer
leans in Great Britain and Canada
the ages for military service shall be
limited to those of the draft act OF
May IS, 1917.
"These conventions also give the
right to the contracting parties to ex-
enpt their citizens or subjects from
military service abroad in case it is
regarded as necessary or desirable"

1--WE are not war relief or a Red
Cross committee We are the Home
Economics committee whose business
it is to urge that household re-
sources be conserved and private in
comes expended in a way to conserve
the resources of the country. May
we not constitute ourselves band OF
missionaries to spread abroad among
our friends and neighbors, by exam
pie and by word, the right ideas of
economy and thrift.
For example, there is genuine rea-
son for cutting domestic use of wheat
pork. The reason is that these
things are needed by our armies and
our allies and that this is a reason
able and effective sacrifice which we
can make for their sakes; and also
that we can find substitutes for these
articles of food much more easily
than can they. For example, again,
wool is needed for army clothing and
the supply of wool is short. So far
as we can wear silk or cotton, cordu-
roy, velvet, velveteen, in place OF
wool, we are conserving the wool
supply for our soldiers Can't we
preach this gospel in Redding?
Candy is almost pure sugar and
candy is almost or quite pure luxury.
Can't we institute crusade against ii
in this town? Can't we start cru
sade against white bread, against
cake, against meat three times or two
times a day or even ten times q
week? Can't we pledge ourselves
and get our women friends to pledge
themselves to buy no new wool gar
ments? You can add many items to
| this list. Can't we, in short, make
the Home Economics committee al
[ effective force in this community?
Can't we do all this without cutting
Gown the nutritive value of our chill
dren's food-get the sacrifice from
the grown-ups, not the children
Can't we do this with bright face:
and sane minds, without hysteria ant
without gloom, keeping up what in
nocent pleasures, what simple so
cial gatherings we may, as an aid t.
