PARIS AND CALAIS GOALS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 80. -
Calais and Paris are the detectives
of the threatened German military
drive on a grand scale along the west
front for which the Berlin Govern
ment has been sending re-enforce-
ments from the Russian front to
France, according to statements made
before the Reichstag committee in the
recent speech of Herr Philip Schei-
demann, leader of the Socialists.
The text of the Scheidemann
speech, as received by the State De-
partment, through diplomatic chan.
nels from The Hague, appears to
leave no doubt that the wal party in
Germany wants to stake everything
on the cord of a great final victory in
the west" Scheidemann asserts that
there are two groups opposing one an
other in Germany, those who believe
that the struggle will be ended within
a few months with a smashing victO-
ry' and those who do not believe
this"

NAL this week and in spite of the fact
that the showing Of the different
classes was adequate, the demand has
shown some life, particularly so yes
terday and as a result, of free compe-
tition among various killer buyers, the
general market shows an advance Of
10 TO 25c per cwt compared with
the low time last week. Stocker and
feeder cattle, however, have shown
no improvement in price, though are
moving readily.
HOGS Yesterdays supply Of
10000 hogs was the largest single

ket, nevertheless, under pressure Of
this heavy supply, the market only
broke 10 to 15c and with today's in
flux of 10000, the market recovered
all of yesterdays loss and is fully as
high as closing prices last week.
