New Road Measure.

Des Moipes, Ia, Feb. 10.-The Iowa
house today passed the Weaver bill al
lowing cities to levy a one-haif mill tax
for so ear to pay for park. art or
memorial sites. This enactment is de-
signed to permit communities an easy
way to purchase and build memorials
for deceased heroes in the late war.
Senator Stoddard put in a measure
to encourage vocational schools by
providing for state aid Of 500 o for
the year ending June 80. 1890, and $S4.-
900 for succeeding years.
Two important bills Of reactionary
tendency appeared in h house today,
one concerning elections and the other
highways.
The former by Mayne. of Paloalto.
It completely to do away with
the statewide primary. substituting
nomination by convention OF all state.
district and county officers. The only
officers named by primary would be
township officials, and at the same
time they were chosen, the second Sat
urday in June, precinct primaries
would be held to elect delegates OF the
county conventions.
The road bill was by Wilson, of Ma
haska. 1t proposes to put the control
of Improvement and maintenance OF
township roads under county boards
trustees, and provides an additional
7-mill tax, 5 mills for improvement n
Q mills for dragging for use upon thess

ALLIES PREPARE
To QUIT RUSSIA
Arrangements Under Way to
Withdraw All Forces--Dec-
Iaration of Non-lnteryention
Expected Soon.
BY United Press.

Paris, Feb. 10.--The associated pow
ers are expected within a few days to
proclaim formally the principle of nom
Intervention in Russia, militarily and
politically. II was learned from a re-
liable source today. 1t is possible to
state further in this connection they
will carry out their intention to with
draw as rapidly as possible the troops
now on Russian territory.
This is the outcome. of the Anglo
American representations made to
France 10 days ago.
Advices from northern Russia indi-
cate 1t will be impossible to get boats
to Archangel for several weeks as
that port is tightly frozen in. The al
lies do not desire to withdraw their
forces from Murmansk while theiL
troops are still on the Archangel front
as that would leave the latter exposed
to an attack from the west. q
The British. however, are understood
to be mobilizing a large fleet Of ice
crushers and operations In the mean
time, even local offensive movements,
will be designed solely to expedite
evacuation. g. ~

To ACT
ON BREAD PRICE
Wheat Legislation Will Directly
Affect Price of Bread
After the Next
Harvest.

Washington, d, c., Feb. 10.-The
price of. bread after the mex harvest
will be the subject of legislative action
at this session of congress.
While congress will talk and act in
terms Of wheat, what it finally does
will affect the price Of bread, not only
in American but throughout the civil
lied world.
The United States, experts estimate,
will have a wheat crop aggregating
1850, 900, 600 bushels, the largest in his
tory, in 1919, and for this the American
farmer has been promised 1925 a
bushel.
Herbert Hoover, through his assist
ants, has recommended to congress
that President Wilson will be given
every power to make effective the $2.26
guarantee through the fed oral grain
corporation, or some other such
agency.
1t is the impression Of congress that
if this is done the grain corporation
will try to keep the world wheat price
as near $2.26 as possible, through its
control over the major portion Of the
worlds wheat supply, which mean
that the consumer would have to con
tinue to pay 9 cents a loaf for bread.

= Paris, Feb. 11.-If the peace confer
ence commission on credentials ever
begins to function, some stirring de-
velopments are expected to follow. On.
The commission has not met thus
far even to organize, the conference
having gotten along entirely without
the right of any delegates to their
seats being challenged. which probably
is without precedent in the history of
such gatherings.
1t was stated, however, that the
committee on credentials would con-
duct any investigation found neces-
sary of the sufficiency of the papers
brought by each delegate and that it
would await the arrival Of all the
delegates before undertaking the work.
Rumors have been current recently here
that there was another reason for the
delay-the apprehension that object
ions would be Immediately lodged
against the presence of some persons
who have already occupied seats in the
conference, and who, 1t is declared, are
accredited by organizations that have
no existence al governments.
Leading members of the, conference
who express confidence that these per-
sons have a proper a in the body,
have sanctioned their presence and
have even admitted some Of them to
membership in the principal commits
sions and ii is understood o. that the
conference leaders do not desire to
have an issue raised nov in this con-
nection tat might interfere with the
smooth progress of the peace making
work.

Germany would thus not only be un-

The mental attitude of the military
class In Germany has developed during
the last two months from one OF abso-
lutte depression to defiance and general
condemnation of the entente. The
change has been wrought. 1t is said, by
"the lack of sympathy in the entente
countries for the present economic, So

This same sentiment was evident IN
Chancellor Ebert's speech before the
national assembly condemning the

The provisional constitution Of the

The tentative draft of the constitu-
ton, which was drawn up under the

Under the provisional constitution,

house and placed In the hands of the
