SAYS ATROCITIES
OF GERMANS ARE
NOT MAGNIFIED
U. S. Military Observer AS
serts Stories of Cruelty
More Often Minimized

New York, Jan. 29.-German atroci-
ties have been minimized 100 times
where they have been magnifed once,
members of the Republican club were
told recently by Captain A. P. Sim
mons, United States military OBJ
server in Germany during the mob
ifzation, having been attached to the
American embassy at Berlin.
Don't let anyone tell you that Ger
man atrocities are merely felton,"
Captain Simmons declared. ''One OF
the most grewsome sights I ever saw
was the impaling of babies on the
ends of German bayonets and their
return to frantic mothers. If you
knew the horrors that patient, suf-
fering little Belgium has been
through, your blood would freeze in
your veins.
We've got to sacrifice till the skin
is worn down to the bones of our
hands. The dragon is just outside
our gate. Well pay, but not in the
way Germany wants US to pay"
Captain Simmons said the United
States must send 100000 men to
France to make any showing, for
our enemy is fortified by almost i'm
pregnable forces" ., +

TROTzKY SCORES
HUN ATTITUDE
At CONFERENCES

.Petrograd, Saturday, Jan. 26-For-
eign Minister Trotzky, addressing the
councils of workmen's and soldiers
delegates on the question of peace to-
night, declared that the Germans
had masked their real intentions with
fine words. but were in reality de-
handing all they could get.
''They thought Russia needed peace
at any price," Trotzky said. ''They
were mistaken. This is not the posi-
ton of the workmens and soldiers
government. We still insist on dem
ocratic peace.
when the nation has become ex-
hausted and whe1 all the efforts that
have been made have proved unsuc-
cessful, then it might be possible for
the nation to conclude an undemo-
cratic peace, but the present govern
ment has not yet reached that posi-
ton. But, if under force of circum-
stances, it would be forced to sign an
undemocratic peace. it would never
tell the people that it was demo-
cratic peace
| London, Jan. 29-The report that
M. Trotzky and M. Kameneff are on
their way back to Brest-LitoYsk is
denied by the semi-official Russian
news agency. A dispatch sent out to-
day by the news agency says NJ. Ka-
meneff is going to Stockholm, Lon
| don and Paris with the object of in
/ forming the Allied governments con-
corning the progress of the peace
pour parlers.

PACKERS SLASHED
PRICES TO CUT
RIVAL BUSINESS

Washington, Jan. 29-Charles H.
May, manager of the farmers CO.
operative association and Independent
and cooperative packing plants of
Madison, Wis, testified today at the
federal trade commissions hearing
that the five big packers took turns
in cutting prices on beef and pork in
the cooperative association territory,
,so that the latter's sales werc reduced
greatly. He said he knew from years
of experience with Swift & Co. that
the packers prices were below the
cost of production.
This happened some years ago p"
asked Francis J. Heney, the comrNss-
sion's counsel.
at happened this year also, three
weeks ago." May replied.
How is that. Aren't they regu-
lated by the food administration?
Il haven seen it," replied May.
Since the commissions investiga-
ton began, May testified, it has been
| impossible to obtain invoices of sales
| by the big packers, although butchers
readily gave them before. The CON-
mission obtained several by peremp-
| tory orders. May testified also that
| grades, now were omitted from in
voices Attorney Heney brought that
out with the announced intention of
| showing that the packers took steps
to cover up" their alleged attempts
to stile competition by making it
difficult to compare prices with those
of the Independents.
e. c. Lasater of Falfurrias, Tex,
testified as to the difficulties in mar
| keting live stock, which the live stock
men long have commended show al
understanding between the big pack
ers to keep prices low. Mr. Lasater
said he sent a shipment of cattle to
Fort Smith and received only one bid
from the Armour buyer. He decided
to send the cattle to st. Louis, and re-
ceived only one bid there, from the
| same firm
The cattle were sold to Armour
there for less than had been offered
in Fort Worth. He said he had no
doubt that Fort Worth buyers tele-
graphed ahead.
Mr.. Lasater declared that wiring
ahead of such information was a
common practice with the packers.

SHOW DOGS
KILLED BY
MEDICINE
Seventeen Animals Valued
at $4,000 Killed By
Horse Pills.
Tuesday, Jan. 20

Seventeen trained dogs belong
tAeo to Barnum & Eailey's Circus
worth $4,000, were killed last
night by horse medicine, admin
istered to them by their keeper,
James A. Pfau, of 149 Norman
street, to relieve their suffering
from cramps. Notwithstanding
Pfau's fearful protestations that
his act was a terrible mistake he
was turned over to the police and
held for the city court tomor-
row.
As far as could be learned
from the headquarters of the cir
Gus there were 80 dogs, in the
act, as well as several ponies and
Pfau had charge of the troupe
which was in training to go on
the road with the show this COM
ing spring. Owing to the cold
weather the animals have not
had the exercise that they usual
Iy get and when they left their
kennels yesterday several of them
were suffering with cramps.
Pfau thought that he would
relieve their suffering and he cut
up several horse pills, and gave
them to the troupe of dogs. This
morning II of the valuable ca
mines were found dead. One of the
dead animals was considered
very valuable, $1,000 having
been refused for him by the cir
Gus people a few weeks ago.
Pau has been in the employ of
the Barnum & Bailey Circus for
the past three years and his rec
ord has been of the very best
during that time.

RUSSIA BREAKS

WITH RUMANIA

Petrograd, Jan. 2s.-The Bolshevik

pies comnissaries has issued the fol-
lowing orders:
First, that diplomatic relations be
broken and that Rumanian repre-
sentatives be expelled from Rus

FINNS' CAPITAL.
HELSINCFORS IS
TAKEN BY REDS

Copenhagen, Jan. 20 - The Red
guard has won complete control of
Helsingfors, capital of Finland, a
Stockholm dispatch to the National
Tidende reports. 1t is not known
whether the Finnish government Of
ficials escaped from the revolutionar-
les.
Disorders have been prevalent in
Finland for several weeks, and news
dispatches from Stockholm yesterday
said revolution was in progress in
the eastern provinces, The issue lies
between the Finnish government,
which declared complete independ-
ence of Russia and organized the
White guard, and the Bolsheviki and
Russian Red guard.
The Bolshevik government appar-
emily is willing to agree to Finland's
separation from Russia. it's opposi-
ton to the Finnish government being
based on the ground that it is bour-
geoise. The Red guard proclaimed
civil war last week and were said to
have received a promise of aid from
the Petrograd government. In reply
to a protest from Finland the Rus
sian government said it must support
the pro1etariat of Finland in the
struggle against the bourgeoise.

FIRE DESTROYS
iron FOUNDRY
At MARQUETTE

Marquette, Mich, Jan. 29-The
primary buildings of the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron Co., were destroyed by a
series of explosions followed by fire
today that threatened to destroy the
entire plant, which covered an area
of several blocks. The first blast
rocked the city.
The police expressed opinion that
the explosion was of incendiary origin.
The property loss was estimated at
100000.
At 10 o'clock company officials said
there was no Joss of life in the ex-
plosion. This probably was due to
the fact that most of the employees
in the alcohol refining plant were in
the boiler room eating luncheon in
the warm precincts of the furnaces.

RUSSIANS READY
FOR CONFERENCE
With AUSTRIANS

Petrograd, Friday, Jan. 25.-M. Joffe
of the Russian peace commission in
Brest-Iitovsk, has sent a request to
Count CZernin, the Austro- Hunuga-
rian foreign minister, that he be given
permission to go to Vienna to confer
with representatives of the Austrian
people regarding peace. In a telegram
to the Smolny institute today NJ.
Joffe said his action was prompted
by a general belief that the Austrian
people were most anxious for peace
regardless of the views of their gov
eminent.
The Petrograd newspapers empha-
size the importance of disorders in
Vienna and Cracow and claim to have
information that the unrest is spread
ing throughout AuStria-Hungary.
The Vechernia Post declares that
Austria Hungary already has offered
to make a separate peace with Rus

AID intercourse
OF HOMES WITH
men AT CAMPS

Washington, Jan. 29-To assist in
keeping relatives in personal touch
with soldiers in training camps and
hospitals the American Red Cross has
notified Secretary Baker that it is
prepared to establish at home the
same camp service already established
in France.
Secretary Baker recently wrote to
Chairman Henry P. Dawson of the
Red Cross war council, suggesting
that the Red Cross assist in estab-
fishing this medium of communica-
ton.
American Red Cross representa-
tives at the camps here, as in
France wrote Secretary Baker,
would have access to daily lists of
admissions and excavations from the
hospitals, and so far as it is in ac-
cord with necessary medical rules,
would be allowed to talk with sick
men. They would be expected to keep
families constantly informed as to
the conditions and progress of the
men in the hospitals, to write letters
for men unable to write themselves,
and in general to fulfil that clause of
the Red Cross charter which desig-
mates the society as medium of COM
munication between troops in the field
and their families at home"
Chairman Dawson replied that the
Red Cross would Immediately appoint
suitable men tfsearchers' in the var
ious camps to put the service into OPP
Grafton as quickly as possible and
would abide by whatever regulations
the war department prescribed.
Secretary Baker announced today
that as soon as details were arranged
by the surgeon general and the adju-
tant general, orders would be issued
to camp commanders informing them
of the plan and bespeakng their CO.
operation, both in facilitating the
work of the searchers and in making
them comfortable in camp.
