Hundreds Of Officers Needed.

Hundreds of motor transport Off
GERS will be needed for every field
army: The personnel will be obtained
largely through a close scrutiny of
the questionnaires of the drafted
men. The men will be trained in in
fantry drill and given target prac-
tice. because they often operate so
close to the front as to require a
knowledge Of defensive operation, in
case of attack by low-fiying airplanes
or other enemy weapons. j.
Armies years ago moved their sup
plies and men by horses Now motor
trucks can actually carry reserve reg
iments as well as horses for use at
the front. Efficiency in handling mo-
tor vehicles makes a world Of diff
ference in the time that an army can
move when it is retiring strategically
or when it is pushing triumphantly
forward.
Back Of the lines misuse of motor
trucks can produce and has produced
already much wear of vehicles and
waste Of fuel. An entirely separate
personnel and a consolidation Of IA
cilities. together with special training
Tor combined operations or separate and
special operations at the front, has been
found necessary by Gen. Pershing. The
Motor Transport Corps is being organ
lied in camps and cantonments in
France under Gen. Walter. Our Army
Is truly expanding by leaps and bounds.

Hoover Orders Inquiry.

Food Administrator Hoover has in
structed his inspectors throughout the
country to center their work upon ~,
yestieations of butter operations and
to obtain a close check upon the
recent activities of dealers.
1t is announced by the United states
Food Administration that some manu-
facturers and dealers who had stored
late butter have been taking advan-
tage of a rising market to remove
their goods and to sell. as fresh but
ter. on account of the market ad-
vance.
This is a clear violation of the ad-
minis.ration rulings, which state that
butter. both fresh and storage. shall be
sold at prices not to exceed stipulated
margins of profits over cost. The
dealer is not allowed to sell on the
basis of replacement value. This
eliminates all possibility of specufa-
ton. as the dealers in butter are not
allowed to profit by abnormal ad-
vances in market quotations.

admitted the contributions of individ-

tionoor any part in keeping from the
public the purpose or hackers Of the
Washington Times.
"You can say to the public for u.s.
said Mr.. Miller. that we individually
contributed to Mr.. Brisbane to work
for us to fight prohibition. Mr.. Bris-
bane offered to work with us in favor
Of light wines and beer. We looked
upon him as our agent in this matter.
The contributions were not made from
the company. but from individuals.
There was no effort ON our part to
keep the transaction secret, or to con-
ceal the purpose of the Times to fight
prohibition. That was Mr.. Brisbane's
business. Our books show very plain
~ the records of the contribution"
There was absolutely no politics in
it and no connection with pro-Gernan
propaganda" said Mr.. Miller in am
swer to a question.
Gustav Pabst and Joseph E. Uihlein,
other Milwaukee contributors. were
reported out of the city.

Mr.. Bfisbane's request as an instru-
mentality for the delivery of Hearst
newspapers. and Brisbane asked him,
together with Sturdevant, his asso-

office, to act temporarily as incorpo-
rators and directors. The Star Com
pany afterward declined to contract
with the corporation for the distribu-
ton of its papers and THE Growing
Circulation Corporation" thereafter
remained a mere shell. Later Bris-
bane advised him that he desired to
take over the nominal as we'll as the
actual ownership" and to elect direct

at the meeting held March IL, 1916.

There is already evidence that the
cessation Of hostil!ties under the
armistice may be expected to early
lions throughout the northwest.
There is some Improvement in the a
supply, and grain which has been
held back on the farms, because of
poor shipping facilities, and because
OF bad roads, is moving more freely to
markets. Shippers r beginning to
give evidence that there will be a
ktrong demand shortly for q return to
normal traffic conditions. and that
there will be heavy pressure brought
to bear from all quarters for a restor-
ice that formerly existed in both
freight and express transportation.
While this may not come rapidly,
there ore indications that there will
be q steady improvement proportion
ate to the lessened burden upon the
transportation system because of the
movement of government material
and supplies. Out of many conditions
that will result from the progress to-
ward q declaration of peace, this, at
least, will be welcomed by all who
arc Obliged to rely on transportation
service.
Some slight labor readjustment has
already occurred, and there is an i'm
provement in the labor supply as
compared with 80 days ago. AS the
business of the northwest has not
been 80 largely that of war produc-
ton as in some other sections of the
country, there is every probability
that projects that have been held
back. construction that has peen de-
ferred. activities that have been sus-
pended because Of the shortage of
men, will afford opportunities for en-
ployment that will rapidly take up
the slack. The principal products of

NEW IDEA OF PIG DOGS

With the American Army in France
Thursday, Jan. 31.-(By Associated
Press.)-Conditions were quiet on the
American sector all day today be-
cause of the fog, which tonight
showed no signs of abating. Beyond
few shots from both sides at regis
tered targets there was little artillery
firing. There was virtually no infan'
try activity.
Additional details of yesterdays
raids show that only the heroism of
the platoon in the trenches nearest
the listening posts raided prevented
the enemy from entering the trenches
and perhaps capturing prisoners.
As soon as the barrage fire lifted,
the platoon came out Of it's dugouts
and stepped to the firing platforms
Their rifle fire held off superior
number of Germans who tried to ap-
proach. When the enemy saw the
Americans were determined to hold
the positions they withdrew into the
fog. Later a number of bloody enemy
rifles and other equipment were found
beyond the American positions.
