wALHALLA. SOUTH CAROLINA,
GERMANY TAKES HIGH HAND
In Dealing With Russia--Gernlan
Plan Regarding Prisoners.

Washington, April 29.--Germany
has demanded Of Russia an exchange
of prisoners and has threatened to
take Petrograd unless the Russian
government agrees to the terms ad-
vanced, the State Department has
learned.
The German demands, as outlined,
call for the immediate release Of all
German prisoners who are in good
health; that those who are i'll shall
remain in Russia under the care Of
neutral physicians, and that the Ger
mans on their side will release only
those Russian prisoners who are iii
or are incapacitated.
The German government is send
Ing to Russia commission of 115
members to present the German de-
mands.
Prisoners Plan Revolution.
Moscow, April Pa Congress Of
war prisoners, representing the ma
tionalities Of the Central Empires,
has been in session here for the last
few days. There are several hundred
members, oil internationalists, whose
aim is preparation for social revo-
luton in Western Europe and the
establishment of soviet republic. /"
No reply has been made to the Ger
man government concerning the sta
tus Of war prisoners. The German
note said information had been re-
ceived that war prisoners In Siberia
were forming revolutionary commit
tees and stripping their officers of
rank, that prisoners' committees at
Omsk had decided to seize the trans
Siberian railway station to prevent
the return Of prisoners to Germany
and that similar measures would be
undertaken by the Congress of war
prisoners at Moscow. Germany ur-
gently demanded disarming of the
Omsk prisoners, the placing Of Rus
sian troops In charge of the camp, the
segregation Of Austrians and Ger
mans, measures to insure the free
return Of prisoners from Siberia and
action by the Russian government to
prevent the congress of the prison.
ers' committees and an immediate
report also were demanded.
Germany is negotiating separately
with the governments Of the Cau-
casus and the Crimea without sane
ton or official knowledge Of the So
Wet government.

FINANCES AND
 MARKETS
GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Shrinkage of in dustrial and shipping demand here as a result of traffic congestion counter acted an upward tendency today in corn prices. The market closed steady at the same as Saturdays finish, with March S126st and May S1.25.. O B. Oats gained 34 to 11s The outcome in provisions ranged from 10c decline to an advance of five cents.
 Unfavorable weather for the crop movement from the country made corn prices harden a little at the outset, but the fact speedily became appar- ent that the adverse conditions pre- vailing had materially diminished the efficiency of switching yards here and had more or less halted inquiry from large consumers and from shippers. A further reason given for the evil dent cautionsness of buyers was the prospect of enlarged government con- trol of grain prices other than wheat.
 Urgent export demand for shipment by the way of the gulf did much to hoist the value of oats, and so, too, did the meagerness of arrivals. New high price records for the season were reached by all deliveries, with the market showing its greatest strength just at the close.
 Provisions averaged slightly higher owing to the fact that hog receipts were less plentiful than had been ex- pected. Aggressive support, however, was lacking.
 Corn: March 1.26a4; May 125K.
 Oats: March S4ss; May SIS.
 Pork: Jan. 47.15; May 46.17.
