WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. a.
Shortage Of funds and the heavy
hand of the Teuton government on
supplies will serve to block O
general and effective strike move
ment in Germany, government Of
ficials believed today.
Only desperation stirred by
hunger and a widespread spirit OF
revolution will bring about suffi-
cient chaos in the kaiser's empire
seriously to affect the war, 1t IL
now believed.
Long years of domination by
military rule will serve to subdue
the public mind now, It is felt.
but nevertheless this government
is watching closely the outcome
of the showdown" between Ger
man labor and the military lead
ers.
No hope Is held here for 3

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2.
1T was a bad day for Pacific
northwest lumbermen yesterday
before the senate committee on
military affairs.

resentative of the Weyerhaeuser
interests, and member of the
lumber committee of the national
council of defense. and ]. II. Bio

were placed in the pan and roast
ED.
Col. Brice P. Disque, the army
officer in charge of spruce pro-
duction, with headquarters at
Portland, was tossed about over
the fire occasionally, and all
Washington and Oregon lumber
men were indicted for making
huge profits out of the war.
This came from the testimony
of Oswald West, former governor
of Oregon, and Charles Il. Sigh,
until recently reserve major and
quartermaster.
They testified that Long ought
to be thrown out of any connec-
!, ton in an advisory capacity with
buying lumber for the govern
ment.
West based his belief that this
course should be taken on the
ground that Long is directly in
terested in selling the very prod
uct that he was helping buy for
the government.
West had argued that a prac-
tical logger ought to be advising

declared that an investigation of

District Citizen Claims He Has Vest
ed Right to Conduct Wholesale
Liquor Business.

The Sheppard dry law" was attacked
from new angle today in a petition
filed in the District Supreme Court by
Benno NJ. Seibold of 1923 Sth street
northwest, who claims to have a vested
right to carry on the business of a
wholesale liquor dealer in the District
of Columbia. He says he was granted
a license June 80, 1902. which on its
face was for only one year, but in fact
gave him the right to conduct his BUSH
ness ';as long as he lives"
Mr.. Seibold tells the court that he de-
sires to sell liquor at wholesale in
Washington. but is prevented by the
Sheppard law and would be arrested
and prosecuted criminally should be re-
sumo business.
He asks the court to issue a per-
nanent injunction to prevent the Com
missioners from causing his arrest
should he exercise his "inalienable
right to a livelihood"
The petitioner, who appears as his
own lawyer. characterizes the Sheppard
enactment as IAN usurpa ton of the
power of Congress, most tyrannical,
oppressive and destructive to liberty
and democracy" By the act, he as
serts, Congress has created "crimes
that are not crimes in fact"
Such action. he contends, is "eon-
trary to every principle of democracy

SOUGHT FOR DRAFT BILL
Change Would Base Quota on Regis

Instead Of State Population.

President Wilson's support is sought
on a compromise plan for the Army
draft, which has been framed by Rep
resentative Shallenberger of Nebraska,
and which is acceptable to Chairman
Dent Of the House military affairs COM
mittee. This proposed compromise
would base the Army draft quota on
registration and liability to service, in
stead of the present basis Of state
population or Provost Marshal General
Crowder's plan to base 1t on class 1.
Chairman Dent announced yesterday
that he would not unnecessarily delay
the quota bill, but would hold up the
Army appropriation bill until Secre-
tary Bakers return.
The compromise proposes the follow
ing plan:
Quotas = shall hereafter be
determined in proportion to the total
number of persons registered and liable
for military service Gin a state)
and credit shall be given . for
the number Of men who have entered
the military service of the United

Hide Behind Pacifism.

THE pro-GerInans and other seditious
forces, lacking the courage of their dis
loyalty and hiding their treason behind
the mask of pacitism, will not dare openly
to frame an anti-American platform or
frankly to name pro-German candidates.
They will devise confusing issues. They
will foment domestic strife. They will
pretend to favor moderation in war and
Cancellation in peace. But their purpose
will be to weaken the strength Of our
confidence in the victory of American arms
and to shake our faith in the righteous
ness of the American aims
Therefore We call upon our fellow citi-
zenS throughout the nation to use their
power alike at primary and election to the
end that the next Congress. Senate and
House alike. prove a mighty reinforce
ment OF the will and strength that shall
crown our just cause with victory"
