ARM HUN PRISONERS
Germans and Austrians Drilling in ST.
IBERIA, Alarm Japan.

Washington. March 12.-Official re-
ports of German cooperation with
certain Bolshevik elements in Siberia
gave a new turn today to the problem
of japanese Intervention IN Asiatic
Russia.
On the heels of detailed information
showing Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik
prime minister, working with the Ger
mans against the best interests of the
allies, the war department made the
following statement today:
I'm Siberia, it is reported that eX-
German war prisoners are armed and
drilling in the vicinity of Irkutsk and
that turnout Siberia, German and Aus
tria prisoners of war are being as
sisted by certain Russian elements"
This has been the claim of Japan
in explaining her alarm at the grow
ing menace in Siberia. While the in
creasing activity of the Bolshevik lead
ers to break proposed opposition to the
German advance and center their ag-
itation against the "militarism of the
allies" (as Lenine's purpose has been
eXpressed) has been known to this
government some days, the war de-
partment statement is the first Off
cial announcement of the existing dan
ger.

conveying her Intentions to the public,
announces that clouds are to be our
portion for two or three days.
The official forecast states that the
sky will be partly cloudy tonight and
Wednesday, with colder weather We'd
nesday. Shippers are advised that
temperatures will be above freezing in
all directions for the next thirty-six
hours.
The lowest temperature in the last
twenty-four hours was AT at 1880 this
morning. The maximum temperature
was expected to be about 70 this af-
ternoon. A warm south wind will con-
tinue to blow thruout the day.
There has been no rainfall in or
near Kansas in the last twenty-four
hours, and none is expected soon. The
map shows that it was raining on
the Pacific coast this morning; other
wise the weather over the country
was dry, except for snow in North
Dakota. Temperatures are rising
thruout the north and northwest
The weather at Camp Doniphan is
warm the temperature being So

NEW SLAP AT SWEDEN
Germany Cancels All Trading Con-
tracts With Scandinavian Neighbor.

London. March 12.-All contracts
with Norway have been annulled by
the German Central Purchasing Co.
from March 16, according to Bergen
dispatch to the TidenS Tegn of Christ
iania, as quoted in an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen.
The reason for this action, the dis
patch says, is that the Norwegian
agreement with America provides for
the expectation of only $4,000 tons of
fish yearly to Germany. The COM
pany's Office at Bergen has been closed.
The action of the German central
purchasing company, a semi official
concern, is in line with the recently
adopted policy of hostility toward the
Scandinavian countries which has fol-
lowed German ascendancy in Finland.
Having strengthened herself in the
north, Germany apparently plans to
overawe the Scandinavian nations and
make the Baltic a German lake.

RU MANIA FEEDS ENEMY
Sends Germany $685. Tons of Grain
and Austria, 100000 Tons.

New York, March 12.-Since the oc-
tcupation of Rumania. Germany has
received from that territory $50, 900
tons of grain, including corn, and
Austria Hungary 756, 900 tons.
This statement is made ina dispatch
from the official Wolff bureau, dated
Berlin and published in the German
newspapers of January 80, which have
been received here.
Apparently, the dispatch was sent
out TO meet misleading reports re-
garding the available supplies from
the occupied portions of Rumania and
Italy, the dispatch pointing out that
Italy could not be considered as a
factor as regards the expectation of
foodstuffs and fodder
